       Billionaire Bill Gates and his foundation, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is a primary force pushing Common Core.  In February 2013, the Gates foundation gave $100 million to fund a giant database to collect private information of American school children starting in early education and extending all the way through high school.  This database is named “inBloom”.  So far nine states are participating: Colorado,…

A Letter to All Michigan K-12 Parents and Interested Citizens

From Melanie Kurdys, past candidate for Michigan State Board of Education

February 2014…

Update: On October 24, 2013 the Republican controlled Senate passed “Substitute for House Concurrent Resolution No. 11.”  This is the disguised name for the bill that provides funding and authorizes the State Board of Education and the Michigan Department of Education to begin implementing Common Core in every school district in Michigan.  Republican Governor Rick…

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…

 Metamora DDA pledges $300,000 toward White Horse…

     Candice Miller, socialist Republican House of Representative, again voted to support Big Government.  Yesterday, December 12, 2013 Miller voted “Aye” for House Resolution 59, on Roll Call 640 concerning the 2 year budget proposal.  This resolution, which will now be sent to the senate, INCREASES TAXES AND INCREASES SPENDING. This resolution takes back $65 billion in already approved sequester CUTS and now gives that…

Courageous:  Nelson Mandela was the main leader of the opposition that ended decades of white-rule apartheid in South Africa. He endured 27 years of imprisonment, emerging as the elected post-apartheid South African President.  As President, Mandela was magnanimous and did not seek revenge but instead reconciliation with the previous white rulers.   …

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…

For the past 5 years I have listened to liberals, pundits, talking heads and political leaders describe the intellect of Barak Obama as being beyond compare. He, purportedly, asks the most pointed and intelligent questions, he has "hands on" involvement in all important matters, he has a most curious and inventive mind and he is able to reduce complex concepts to simple explanations instantaneously.

However I am beginning to suspect that these claims are, perhaps, slightly…

As the American Revolutionary War developed, the American colonists were divided into two groups: the Loyalists who were loyal to King George of England despite the tyranny he inflicted upon them, and the Revolutionists who wanted to be liberated from the tyranny of King George. The current events of today are analogous with events preceding the American Revolutionary War.…

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…

Obama wants to take the United States down another rat hole. For Obama, this is standard procedure.  The rat hole this time is called “a shot across the bow” of Syria for using chemical weapons. Yet, while “Syrian opposition rebels” slaughter and burn Coptic Christians and their churches in Syria, Obama remains silent. Obama’s real motives are to support the Muslim Brotherhood, as he did in Egypt which has turned out to be an abysmal failure.    As always,…

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…

Our Representatives are home from Washington for a summer recess, currently there are two extremely important issues that will be brought up in September when they return that could have a profound effect on the future of our country. They are the Defunding of Obamacare and Immigration Reform. Depending on which way our Representatives vote could determine if we remain a Constitutional Republic or continue down the path of big government socialism.

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…
