Cong. Gary Peter's needs your help.
No, this doesn't have anything to do with the upcoming bloodbath he'll be facing in August next year. It has more to do with the one coming up this August. So how can you help? {Click below to find out.} (3 comments, 271 words in story) Full Story By JGillman, Section News

Tonight State Representative Wayne Schmidt, and State Senator Howard Walker held a town hall event in Traverse City Michigan. I was able to witness firsthand, how a discussion can be hijacked by emotion and a few tools in the box of labor specialists. The educators and real workers for the most part were willing to listen, and were civil, but given the opportunity, a slick haired (mob looking) gentleman and his concubine were able to personally use up at least 20 minutes of our local town hall time. Out of 2 hours, that doesn't seem like much, but it set the tone for the rest of the discussion. The two sat separately, and refused to let their part of discussion end. they hit the union talking points, and most of the workers in the room bought those points as fact. Schmidt and Walker handled themselves quite well actually, had as good a set of facts, and spoke to solid and logical conservative principles, but the message control of the townhall went to those two, and a couple of (apparently from) Lansing visitors. The mobster and his moll left the event high fiving and butt groping knowing they won. Lesson: Strict moderation of these affairs. We had over 200 people there, 60 or so wished to talk, and less than 10 controlled the conversation. I have the entire affair on video. At some point, I'll post some highlights.

I figured I would get this out.. first meeting TODAY!! Get your Michigan Health Care Freedom Petitions Filled at these too!
Tipton, MI- Republican Congressional Candidate and former Congressman Tim Walberg is hosting town hall meetings in Washtenaw, Lenawee, Hillsdale and Jackson counties over the next eight days to rally citizens to common sense patient-centered health care reforms and to remove Mark Schauer from Congress so we can repeal and replace this disastrous health care bill. More town hall meetings will be announced in the near future. Walberg says:
"In Congress, I introduced legislation to end lawsuit abuse, allow people to purchase health insurance across state lines, help small businesses afford health insurance and expand the flexibility of health savings accounts, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected those common sense reforms. Instead, Speaker Pelosi and Mark Schauer have passed a trillion dollar government takeover of health care that will raise costs, increase the national debt, and reduce access to care for seniors."
