Tag: PetoskeyBy JGillman, Section News
Many of you have seen the way in which many of the labor unions which do business in Michigan are teaming up and holding their own rallies in small to medium sized towns, but you may might not be sure exactly what is being said unless you go to one.
And even with a strong constitution, the thought of attending the emotion ginning affairs might be tough. Try holding your lunch while listening to old mobsters try to explain to the younger new union members that they have to be more aggressive, and stick together (to do something illegal). Listen to the custodian mom who has been getting dragged to each of these affairs because she is worried about her job, with the new legislation mandating bid process for off-education activities.
The tour of Michigan towns and villages according to our infiltrator at the Petoskey pro-union rally are getting mixed signals, and our message while standing outside the entrance to the event was perhaps internalized a little.

Funny how even with a language difference, it makes more sense than our national media attempts of explaining the tea parties. By JGillman, Section News
Most should realize by now, that it was not the conservative philosophy that buried the state's manufacturers and automakers in unsustainable expenses. It wasn't constitutionalists who raise taxes so the government can buy more poverty. And it could generally be said that the "right wing" principles of responsibility and accountability are making a resurgence.
Not so sure about that? Take a look at nearly any community of 1000 or more in Michigan on the 15th of April. You will see people gathering to celebrate responsibility, and sending a message to our government that what is going on, is NOT working! What you will see is the message that conservatives have been talking about ...forever. In fact, even as the media tried to down play conservative pull back in the Republican party, more folks on both side of the fence were starting to wake up to what is truly happening around them. They looked at Detroit.. (1156 words in story) Full Story |
