ANOTHER LAND GRAB

I can’t help but wonder if this latest attempt by the Department of Land Management (DLM) to stop cattle ranchers from using land that they have been using for decades, isn’t just a further implementation of the Agenda 21 Program in this country.  Mr. Cliven Bundy may not be paying his bill like he should, but there are many other ranchers who are paying and the government is doing the same thing to them. The Federal Government is using the DLM…

Appalled’ by letter writer

Regarding the writer who is “appalled” that anyone would dare think that a young person would question the attributes of the ACA, I can only assume her head is stuck in the sand.

Writer, are you appalled that six million families have had their insurance policies canceled because of this Unaffordable law? Are you appalled that many patients have lost their policies, doctors, and hospitals despite the President promising otherwise?…

COMMON CORE IS NOT THE WAY

Common Core is a set of guidelines instituted by a Federal mandate to change and control our children’s educational standards. This change and control impacts all of us even if we do not have children in school at this time.  We should all understand how Common Core is impacting us as a country.

Common Core is a special interest takeover of education that replaces local control with national standards, treating every child as…

Lapeer County Tea Party Patriots

Editor’s note: The following guest column was written by Tim Lintz, a director of the Lapeer County Tea Party Patriots. Lintz is also a trustee on the Elba Township Board of Trustees. For the last five years the Tea Party has become one of the fastest growing grassroots organizations in the country. Who are we? We are “The People.” We are moms and dads, Grandmas and Grandpas, Republicans and Democrats — just regular Americans who…

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is supposed to be a free trade agreement between the United States, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore & Vietnam. It is expected to eliminate tariffs on goods and services, tear down a host of non-tariff barriers and globally communize many laws & regulations when it's …

As we head into the new year, reports of President Obama showing approval ratings hovering at 40% are absurd, and very likely could be false. His actions as President can no longer be defended.  This President has been caught lying time after time, and yet there are still those who “approve” of his Presidency?  I highly doubt it.

Supporters may say, “All politicians lie.”  That defense can only go so far. Mr. Obama and his team left four defenseless Americans to die in…

WHO IS DEFINING RADICALISM HERE ?

The other day I was reading an article by Tim Brown.  The article was titled “Navy Seals Ordered Not to wear their “Don’t Tread on Me’ Patch.” These words are on a patch with a background of the flag with a rattle snake across it.

I am an American Veteran.  I question why they are taking away a symbol of pride that has brought our American fighting personal together as one unit for many years.  This has been a symbol of…

The Washington elite have come up with another way to subvert our Constitution and incrementally take away more of our constitutional rights. This time the Senate Judiciary Committee has moved forward a bill S-987 called the “Free Flow of Information Act of 2013” originally co-sponsored by Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-NC). This “shield law’ legislation was purportedly written to protect journalists from being compelled by the federal government to disclose information about…

There is a lot of people and legislators that are encouraging us parents to agree to our State continuing with the Common Core Curriculum.  Their basis for this appears to be “Independent Standards” that all of our schools and teachers can be compared to, and the need to give our youth the best education possible.   I think most parents and citizens want high educational standards to be set for our schools.  What I don’t think we want is to give our Federal Government the control over all of…

Who Is Responsible?

There is talk in the news about defunding the Affordable Care Act, and saying this will cause the shutdown of the Federal Government.  When I look at the facts I see it differently. The talk about shutting down the government is coming from the Obama administration and Harry Reid in order to blame the Republican majority in the House of Representatives.

As I examine the facts, here is what I see.

According to the United States…

I’d like to discuss an issue that is critically important to the future of our health care system here in the United States…Obamacare. Since Obamacare cannot be repeal without Republican control of the executive & majority control of the legislative branches of government, the only viable solution is to defund the entire law to prevent its implementation. Since the Constitution grants the Congress the ultimate “power of the purse,” Congress can refuse to fund…
