    Way to come through, team!  A couple weeks back I told you that I was going to be participating in this year's Alpha Women's Center Life Walk to raise money for the Grand Rapids area crisis pregnancy counseling center and I asked you to help support the cause.  And you responded in a big way.  We blew through our initial $500 goal.  In hindsight I should have known you guys better.

    We upped the goal to $1,000 and that was equally reachable so then came goal number three, $1,250.

    Michigan's conservative blogosphere blew past that one too.  Budgets are tight.  The economy is down (and don't we know it).  Taxes are going up.  Disposable income is dwindling but that didn't stop the pledges from rolling in.  Ten dollars here, eight dollars there.  A new twenty spot pledged in the email box just about every time I checked. I am thrilled to announce that the Right Roots dug deep and pledge $1,436!  

    A big thanks to everyone who's put their money where their hearts are.  I can't say it enough, Alpha does remarkable, commendable work assisting mothers who face an unplanned pregnancy. They provide free pregnancy testing and counseling, abortion alternative counseling, post abortion counseling, referrals for adoption and medical services, they help women secure housing, provide prenatal and post-natal parenting classes and make sexual integrity presentations for schools and youth groups.

    And they'll be able to serve women and their unborn children for another year thanks in part to your generosity.  If you haven't made a pledge already, it's not too late.  I'm on the way to the ride sight as soon as I click submit but the need doesn't end today.  

    Alpha could still use your pledge of $10, $20, $50 or even $100? Go ahead and leave a comment after this post or email me at RightMichigan@gmail.com if you haven't participated yet and would like to.

    You guys really are awesome.  Thanks again!  Now then, I think there's a bike route with my name on it...

    Well that's putting your foot where your mouth is. lol.  Maybe I should say that's putting the pedal to the metal.  You know how I feel about actually doing things vs talking about them.  I give you the Prestigious "Bottom Up Politics" Award.  In thought only.  Don't expect to be getting anything in the mail. lol.  Good work. Am glad to see the "Right Roots" stepped up so well. Proud to be a part of that.
    Regards, Live Dangerously Be A Conservative.
