Northwestern Michigan has one of the better veterans networks.
Often we have opportunities to support our overseas 'diplomats', and remind them we have their back. Our group this morning packed hundreds of boxes of care packages at the Legion Hall with Girl Scout cookies, newspaper funnies, sundries etc. This morning's affair was organized by Meredeth Allen, daughter of Jason and Suzanne Allen of Traverse City who sold close to 3000 boxes including over 1000 sponsored for this delivery. Along with other goodies packed, were CDs donated by Singer Composer Kelly Trudell who gave a performance of one of her songs. Once again, apologies for shaky camera work. Enjoy!

The point of this is not about Piers, his bogus "11,000 to 35" stat he speechifies - it's about agenda. In nations that have initiated a weapons ban as Law, the number of deaths is always >0. The agenda of The Left is always about: Control. The Second Amendment is viewed by the The Left as their greatest obstacle standing between them and control no different than it was 237 years ago for King George III. Recall what was said about health care... it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken, to put the legislation together to control the people. Those incremental words chosen by the longest serving Democrat in DC, was not in error. Nor is the enslaving incremental agenda. (16 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News

This past week the Republican State Senate passed SB250 which creates a new agency, some say just shifts responsibility. More wrongly, however, it takes money from Veteran's Service Organizations and leaves it up to the state how to dole out that money, and leaves the VSOs competing for those dollars.

Here we are, almost through the Second Annual Right Michigan Bloggers' Challenge, and all I've managed to do so far is post a few responses. You'd think that I'd dropped off the map or something. The fact of the matter is that I've been doing some follow-up investigation into the subject addressed in a blog post on the TEA Party of West Michigan site, which focused on an executive order signed by Governor Granholm and the all-veterans protest march in response. (By the way, that Veterans Rally on May 21st drew about 600 veterans from across the state . . . not bad for being haphazardly organized.) However, the deeper that I dug into what was going on, the uglier the can of worms got. Seriously, fitting together the pieces of this puzzle began to resemble one of those "conspiracy theory" string maps that you see on certain television shows and movies. And over this past weekend I realized that I had to do something with what I know, so below the fold is what I've managed to put together . . . you be the judge. (I'll warn you in advance, this is a long read . . . you may want to brew a pot of coffee first.) Just at the outset, this is an article in four parts (all four of which are here):

(cross-posted from Tea Party of West Michigan) This post is in follow up to my post from a week or so ago about Governor Granholm going too far. At tonight's meeting of the Kent County Veteran's Honor Guard I learned that the various veterans' organizations in Michigan have organized a full-blown march on Lansing to protest both Executive Order 2009-22 and Senate Bill 250. (This has been in the works since the executive order was issued.) I don't know what plans any of you may have for Thursday afternoon, but I would certainly appreciate a show of force in support of my brothers-in-arms. The protest rally is planned for Thursday, May 21, 2009, at 3:30 PM on the front steps of the State Capitol Building in Lansing. A transcript of their flyer follows the break:

We Veterans are generally a pretty civil bunch. We'll put up with a considerable amount of crap from our government and almost always take it in stride, being of the belief that stupidity should be suffered while it is sufferable. But what I learned yesterday had me about at a gasket-blowing, blood-pressure-cuff-rupturing, penny-nail-spitting, profanity-laced tirade. Really, I needed the balance of the day just to cool my boil down enough that I could write a post that someone wouldn't remove on the spot.
