    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.

    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.

    U.S. Senate Debate In Traverse City Part I

    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.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    The Gary Glenn Campaign has released a new ad.  

    I thought it was pretty good, and speaks optimistically about our country's ability to rebound.

    I would be interested in seeing the other candidate's ads as they become available as well.

    Are we looking at the beginnings of a REAL Tea Party Party?

    While I like the message that the Tea Party Movement has conveyed locally and nationally, one of the things that has always concerned me is the fact that it is too quick to jump into bed with the republican candidates.

    Yes, I know that its genesis came from FreedomWorks, which is connected to big players from the GOP, and that part of its focus was to build up grassroots (ostensibly to support republican candidates).

    But less government, lower taxes and more freedom, who could argue with that philosophy?

    Pete is obviously banking on the Party's coronation as a win against Sen. Stabenow.

    Five candidates for the GOP senate primary will debate this weekend in Richland.

    The Plainwell Patriots will be hosting the debate at 7 p.m. Saturday at Gracespring Bible Church, 8643 Gull Road, Richland, said Cindy Gramat, founder of the Tea Party group.

    The candidates attending include:

    Scotty Boman, former Libertarian candidate for Senate and current college instructor, teaching physics at Wayne County Community College and astronomy at Macomb Community College.

    Clark Durant, Hillsdale College, founder of Imprimis and co-founder of the Cornerstone Schools.

    Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan and straw poll winner of the Dewitt Debate.

    Randy Hekman, former Kent County prosecutor and juvenile court judge.

    Peter Konetchy, software developer and businessman.

    I-Caucus of Michigan and the Michigan Republican Senate Primary

    As I have written before, most of the organizations comprising the Michigan Tea Party Patriot Network are structured as 527 groups.  This means that they're not allowed to directly advocate the election or defeat of any candidate for elective office, only to operate on behalf of issue advocacy and voter mobilization.  However, the tea party networks in several states (including in Michigan) voluntarily operate in strategic partnership with an organization set up specifically as a Political Action Committee.  This organization concerns itself with candidate screening, endorsement, and advocacy, with a specific focus on constitutional loyalty and grassroots activism, and on integrity over money.

    The Independence Caucus is not a political party, nor is it affiliated with any political party.  It is, rather, a group of concerned citizens devoted to electing candidates truly committed to constitutional loyalty and fiscal responsibility, regardless of party.  The goal is the election of such candidates to not less than 40% of the available seats in the several state legislatures and both chambers of Congress . . . in each election year.  It is a not-for-profit organization of concerned citizens from all walks who recognize the responsibility to act now to protect future generations of this nation from the disastrous consequences of our systematic abrogation of constitutional principles, exists to teach us how to govern our country as citizens, and provides the practical tools and resources to actually make it happen.

    An Open Question

    The following video is proof positive of how unabashedly accomplished the Left is with indoctrinating our youth.  They have successfully dimmed the light of what most call Critical Thinking.  Then enters Ray Comfort.  A man of morals ask some decidedly pointed questions.  All I can ask of you is to watch this to the end.  I understand everyone's time is valuable, but please make this investemnt in yourself.  It will pay off in dividends.  I promise.

    Now, I must ask questions.

    Not There

    Certainly, if I had planned well enough, I could have made it to the island. I really wanted to go.

    In the last two weeks, I have had at least 5 separate invitations to participate in conference activities. Each of them more tempting than the last.  Maybe next time.  And as it turned out, the business needed my presence Friday, and today the funeral for a friend's father. And overall, my significant other who has suffered well through the miscellany of political activities that keep us apart too often, seems to be happy.

    The Lord does indeed work in many mysterious ways.

    One of those ways is how we move the debate here.

    As noted a couple of days ago, there was a concern I penned about Michelle Bachmann endorsing Pete Hoekstra, who would not go on record supporting right to work.  As expected there was a bit of noise going on in the background throughout the state party and establishment types.   As expected it was picked up in a national piece the following day.

    Strategic National (Yob) who is managing Hoekstra's campaign likely had not planned for the "Tea Party" blast advertisement to come out a day early, as the "official" endorsement was to come out the next day.  It did. the "Tea Party" email blast by the way, is from merely another group who likely believes in most Tea Party values, yet is willing to capitalize on the theme as much as it is there to advance it.

    This site for example will take advertising from nearly anyone who doesn't violate core principles.  I get it.

    Hoekstra saw the writing on the wall. (Below)
