Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

It sure is good to have the help of the AFP in pushing back big-crony government.

Americans for Prosperity started running a six-figure ad buy for Michigan on Friday. It encompasses two separate radio ads. One connects Medicaid expansion to the Obamacare "train wreck," urging state senators to oppose expanding Medicaid. The other highlights concerns raised by union leaders like James Hoffa about the negative impact ObamaCare will have on union members.

"The severe unintended consequences of the ACA are very real and Michigan families need to be educated and informed about how ObamaCare will impact them and their families," said Scott Hagerstrom, state director of Americans for Prosperity-Michigan. "Our State Senators shouldn't double down on the failures of the ACA and implement ObamaCare by expanding Medicaid."

Hagerstrom noted the ads complement each other and send a unified message in that both highlight the problems of ObamaCare.

"People across the political spectrum and from many different walks of life are concerned about the consequences of ObamaCare," Hagerstrom concluded. "We hope both ads will help remind our State Senators of this."

Both ads highlight the damage participating in the federal boondoggle mess through the expansion of medicaid in Michigan.

The use of both ads point out that the 'train wreck' is non partisan.
