The date is definate May 2nd the time too is set at 11:30 in Muskegon. We have yet to work out the location. We are looking for $25 a head and sponsorships at $100. Keep looking at the side bar for the Community Service calendar for updates as I get them.
Fresh off of the anti tax and anti spending protests of tax day, bringing Huntsman here to talk about fiscal responsibility should prove to be interesting. Especially iin our state which is a poster child for fiscal irresponsibility. His message needs to be heard.
As the link below says, Jim Huntsman on the list of possible Presidential GOP contenders for the nomination in 2012. He is coming to Muskegon.
Be there or be square. lol.
Below is a link to the man and some of his accomplishments.

The more we know the better our decision.

I was recently in Jackson at there Tea Party at least the start of it, and I picked up some info on the special election coming in November for the 19th State Senate seat. The race is against the Republican Nofs and Democrat Griffen. Steve Sachs from the Nofs camp had told me previously that Griffen's strong hold was in Jackson. Well I was there, had lunch two doors down from the Democratic HQ and had a chance to talk with the owner of the restaurant. He filled me in with some background on Griffin.
First Griffin was Mayor of Jackson for a few years, his family was way into politics for a long time in Jackson. He has the name in Jackson. Nofs has the name and strength in the other county (Calhoun) they both make up the 19th state senate distrct. I felt like I was talking about Muskegon. It was like the 92nd was Jackson and the 91st was Calhoun. Different #s maybe, but the same logic.
With the help of outside counties I along with some pretty smart state people think we can win this one. If we all make some extra effort the tide can be turned. The Adopt a Precinct Program is alive and well. Our victory in 2010 and 2012 can start this Nov.2009.

On a local front My friend and I helped a neighbor fix part of her roof. A simple thing but we made her day, my friend and I. Didn't cost anyone anything.
At the Lansing Tea Party I heard 3 different speakers tell us that to make a difference it takes each of us to spend some time just simply helping our neighbors who need help. The government doesn't have to, we do.
Later in the day at the Livingston County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner, Peter Hoekstra talked as the keynote speaker. Part of what he said perked my ears up. He said he agreed with Hillary about it taking a village to raise a child. He just said that the villiage he used was not the government but friends and family and his church. Pete's children were young when he had to spend most of his time in Washington. He said he counted on his own village, of his own choosing, to help him raise his children.
During that talk he also brought up a Constitutional Ammendment he and Jim DeMint authored, the Parental Rights Ammendment.

He is afraid of the UN and the language giving the Government the right to look after the "Well being" of the children, not the parents. We should all fear that can of worms. The Parental Rights Amendment is an alternative to that UN bill to protect the rights of parents to raise their children; not only from the UN but from our government.
-----quote-----
“The Parental Rights Amendment would help stop the assault on parental rights, whether it is an assault from Congress, from the courts or the U.N.,” Hoekstra told CNSNews.com on Tuesday.

From a principle and political perspective this seems like a good thing. As the article alludes to; although passage in the Democrat congress isn't likely, this plants the seed of a principled opposition to the UN resolution.
It puts the gauntlet down and lets all know where we stand and there is an alternative to the Liberal policy.

That's all for now, except for these pictures of some signs I made and donated to the Muskegon Tea Party.
