  • 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.

    U.S. Senate Debate In Traverse City Part IV

    Another round (a little out of order) from the Traverse City Debate sponsored by the Grand Traverse Republican Party.

    The Social Security Question.

    Interesting responses.

    However, When one looks at the bigger picture of this Ponzi scheme, it seems that some further out of the box answers may be necessary.  Opting out perhaps?

    I wonder what Pete Hoekstra or Clark Durant would say?  Shame they didn't show up for this GOP sponsored event.

    Enjoy.  Another video will be available later.

    U.S. Senate Debate In Traverse City Part III

    This second round has the candidates explaining how they would deal with what is one of the most egregious anti-constitutional laws put on the books in our nation's history.

    What about Obama care?  What should we do about it?

    As we look to the possible results of next year's elections, the Senate will be playing an important part in how this is handled going forward.  If the SCOTUS says it stands with an expected ruling in April of 2012, it will be especially important to have Senators who are principled enough to destroy it from within the body of its creation.

    It was too bad that candidates Hoekstra and Durant "couldn't attend" this debate, as it would have allowed us to see how committed they are in reversing the trend of big government mandates  and encroachment on our rights.  Perhaps for Pete, and his record, its best to stay "mysterious" so that some are easily fooled into thinking he might actually carry sufficient principle into this fight when its time. As For Clark, I don't know him well enough yet.  Maybe a video response by either of them would be a sufficient way to answer?

    Gentlemen, its an opportunity if there ever was one.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    As promised, here is round one of the Grand Traverse Republican Senate Debate in Traverse City, Michigan.

    Less Government, more individual responsibility, and with God's help a better world. Do you have a problem with that as a Senate principle to follow?

    Each of the participants had 2 minutes each to answer.

    In the morning I should have the remainder of the questions available.

    The Grand Traverse County GOP last night held a debate/forum at the governmental center in Traverse City, inviting all of the candidates for US senate to help us determine who might be best to occupy the seat now held by leftist Sen Debbie Stabenow.

    Five conservative candidates vying for the Republican nomination felt its was worth their time to speak on matters of national importance, policy and principle. Scotty Boman, Gary Glenn, Randy Hekman, Peter Konetchy, and Chuck Marino attended the affair, with Pete Hoekstra, and Clark Durant conspicuously absent.

    This particular clip is an introduction by the moderator, and a follow up self intro by the candidates.  

    I will be processing the video for each question separately and will post here as they are finished.

    Working The Booth

    Tomorrow I begin volunteering for the GT GOP at the county fair in Traverse City.

    Why?

    Because our legislative team will have to be smarter and more conservative than ever, and the lack of liberal legislators lessens the opportunity for progressive measures to wind up on the governor's desk.  The best bet for avoiding any new taxes, or any new crony capitalism is a strong conscience in the State house and senate.  When voting, It is critical that hand sitting does NOT happen with regard to our State Rep and State Senate candidates.

    I will happily hand out the support material for all candidates and talk about our selected conservative Republicans running for those races.  Volunteers for post primary activities can leave contact information and we can put together a winning plan. 2-6pm..  See you there?
