To Everything There is a Season
The Internet has a graveyard littered with discarded and abandoned blogs.
People lose interest or other interests intervene. Life throws you a huge curve ball, death, divorce, job loss and your priories change. Some how giving your two cents just isn't as important any more in the larger scheme of things.
Been pretty quiet here as it has been awhile since I been here, seems funny in an away, like visiting your old neighborhood and ruminating over your life and who you were back then
I became a tea party organizer Feb. 27th 2009 and I still posted here but the demands of posting here and two others sites, necessitated making a choice
So nowadays I exclusively post on my "tea party" site Grassroots in Michigan and send out a Newsletter to several thousand across the state. Busy, busyness
However, the Bible said in; To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:..." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
And so there is.
So I'll return here exclusively, but it won't be the same "The World According to Me" because I am not the same. The years since 2009 have been filled with immeasurable personal highs and lows, stress, lose, triumphs, and tragedies. I am tested and tired
The realization that nothing really does stay the same and whenever corruptible men are involved (as such IS the nature of man) most often times, "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof..." (Ecclesiastes 7: 8)
Nevertheless, the most valuable "purpose under heaven" is really simple, Love God and Love you fellow man. Live your life as unfettered by other's expectations as any of your own that are apart from the will of God.
But what is God' will for my life and yours? "He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the Lord require of you, but to act justly, To love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)

Call to Convention
Fellow Conservatives Precinct Delegates,
Congratulations! The success of the Tea Party movement is keeping the serious issues we face in restoring our state and Republic, the public spot light combined with activism has resulted in an historic election. However, this is the beginning of a solid foundation in which to built upon to ensure the future of our state and country.
Like it or not, we have a two party system, despite the talk of a 3rd party. Third parties historically have either disappeared or simply cannot win. And to TAKE BACK MICHIGAN we must win and continue to win. Part of that process is for Constitutional Conservatives to become involved in their County party and run from Executive Committee members and County Chairs.
As of now you should have received the official call to the Ingham County Convention on Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 7:00pm Hannah Community Center 819 Abbott Rd East Lansing. As you know the purpose will be to select 27 members to he executive committee.
In order to see Constitutional Conservatives in all areas of our local County Party we must begin to build critical infrastructure for a Constitutional Conservative coalition and voting block
The next Convention is not only an opportunity to run for Executive Committee but also to mingle and discovery other Tea Party/ Constitutional Conservative delegates to begin the process of forming a coalition within the County Party
I urge you to send in your desire to be considered to serve on the Executive Committee. You may do so by contacting the Ingham County Chair Linda Tarver at hallelujahllw@aol.com NO LATER THAN 5:00pm on Monday, November 29
TO HELP AT THE CONVENTION:Robert's Rules of Order Motions Chart Robert's Rules of Order Motions Chart

Additionally and to vacillate identifying fellow Constitutional Conservatives, Grassroots in Michigan is co-hosting the Ingham County Republican Christmas party on December 17th Details to follow

NEVER FORGET 9-11-01
September 11, 2001 marks the day when thousands of American citizens were
murdered in a terrorist attack the on World Trade Center, the Pentagon,
American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines
Flight 77, and United Flight 93. That day, left 2,740 dead, 1,609 people
lost a spouse or partner and more than 3,051 children lost parents.
We must never forget those thousands of our fellow Americans or there families and importantly we must never forget that we are still engaged in a war with an enemy who wants to kill us simply because we are Americans and have freedom of worship
Remembering 9-11 Slideshow
Michiganders, 2010 is the year that we must and will TAKE MICHIGAN BACK!
The 2010 elections are only 52 days away!
This is one of the most important elections in our life time.
For 2010 we must turn our attention to home, to our beloved Michigan. As
Michiganders we have seen the results of the same liberal's policies that
the Obama regime is now trying to implement. After 8 years of liberal
"leadership" Michigan is in shambles. Unemployment is at almost 15%, the Car
Capitol of the World has seen a government take over of GM, jobs evaporate,
foreclosures rise and families leave.
Michiganders, 2010 is the year that we must and will TAKE MICHIGAN BACK!
If we are honest with ourselves we must take responsibility for not being
educated and active in the polices that have shaped our lives and hurt
Michigan. We need to change that, for our state, our families, and our
future. We must muster all soldiers in the Constitutional Conservative army!
But How Do We Accomplish This?
WE MUST:
1. Identify Constitutional Conservative Candidates to support with character, in all offices, local, county, state, school boards, and court system, who believe that holding office is a civic duty and that the government is the problem not the answer.
2. Campaigns need two things: People and Money
We must support these candidates with time and/or money. It doesn't matter if you have 1 hour or 40 hours to give, $5 or $5,000. What matters is that you become engaged. Any campaign will plug you in, in an area that you are comfortable with. Literature drops, phone, banks, admin, door-to door etc are opportunities.
Michiganders- We have a tremendous opportunity in 2010!

Join Us for a Taxpayers "Nationwide Chicago Tea Party" in Michigan!
CNBC’s Rick Santelli called earlier this week, backed by mortgage traders, for a “Nationwide Chicago Tea Party” to protest the ObamaAdministration’s Pork Laden Stimulus plan.
The Boston Tea Party was an act of direct protest by American Colonists demanding representation in the British Government.They became known as the original patriots.
As the bailouts spiral out of control, we are forced to fund failed banks. With foreclosures on the rise, we are made the collateral of out-of-control spending . And, when the bills come due, the IRS knocks on the door of self-responsibility.

Mich. AG charges ex-ACORN worker with forgery
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan's attorney general is charging a former employee of a community organizing group with forgery after he says the man falsely submitted six voter registration forms.
Antonio Johnson is being held in Jackson County on a parole violation. The 23-year-old is accused of falsifying the registration forms between May 20 and June 6 in Jackson.
He worked for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
Jackson Clerk Lynn Fessel suspected a problem and asked police to investigate. Two residents said they didn't sign the forms and that some information used to complete the forms was incorrect.
Attorney General Mike Cox announced Johnson's arrest Tuesday. Johnson couldn't be reached immediately at the jail.

ACORN leader: Bogus voter applications get through
BY DAWSON BELL
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
LANSING -- The head of a group that promotes voter registration acknowledged Tuesday that members of his organization have submitted bogus applications to county election offices.
But David Lagstein, head Michigan organizer for ACORN, the Association for Community Reforms Now, defended the effort.
"It's our policy to hand in every single card," he said. "Sometimes we do get the occasional application with names like Mickey Mouse or some silly thing like that. However, we don't want to be the arbiter. Our job is to hand in the applications."
Lagstein's comments followed charges of falsifying voter registration documents filed Tuesday against an ex-ACORN worker from Jackson.
Antonio Johnson was charged with six counts of forgery of a public document, felonies each carrying a sentence of up to 14 years in prison, Attorney General Mike Cox said.
Cox said the documents submitted by Johnson were obvious forgeries, and that his "office will not stand by while criminals interfere with the voting rights of citizens."
Johnson has been convicted in the past of drunken driving and drug offenses and was in jail on a parole violation charge when the alleged forgeries were found.

Walberg Campaign Intends Legal Action Against ACORN and Moveon.org Front Group
Press Release
Radical Liberal Group Supporting Mark Schauer is Using a Cancer Victim to Falsely Attack Congressman Walberg in a TV ad
Jackson, MI- A radical liberal group supporting Mark Schauer and funded by the voter fraud organization ACORN, radical left-wing Moveon.org, and the pro-illegal immigration National Council of La Raza is running a TV ad featuring a cancer victim attacking Congressman Walberg. However, the accusation made in the ad is untrue, and the Walberg campaign is intending legal action.
In the TV ad, the woman with cancer states:
"Republican Congressman Tim Walberg sponsored legislation that would let insurance companies make the rules. They could even deny coverage for preexisting conditions like cancer."
Facts:
· The bill cited in the TV ad gives consumers the option to purchase health insurance from other states. It has nothing to do with restricting health insurance for cancer victims; it simply lets consumers have more options when shopping for health insurance. [National Center for Policy Analysis, Congressman John Shaddegg, Congressional Research Service]
· The claim in the ad that the bill "would let insurance companies make the rules" is untrue. According to the Congressional Research Service and National Center for Policy Analysis, the insurance policies would be regulated by state and federal laws.
· According to a study by University of Minnesota economists presented at the American Enterprise Institute, if this legislation were to become law, 12 million more Americans would be able to afford health insurance.
"Congressman Walberg supports this health care reform because it will allow 12 million more Americans to afford health insurance. For radical liberal organizations supporting Mark Schauer to use a cancer victim to falsely attack Congressman Walberg is despicable and we are intending legal action," said Justin Roebuck, campaign manager.
