  • Your New Scoop Site

    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.

    For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

    Crunch Time For Hoogendyk

    Tags: Michigan, CD6, Fred Upton, Jack Hoogendyk, 10 reasons (all tags)

    Last minute blitzing being  planned for the Hoogendyk campaign, as he faces down one of the least conservative members of the Republican congressional delegation from Michigan.

    Saturday the 4th, be looking out for a motivated team participating in a door to door blitz.  In fact, be a part of that blitz and hang out with a great group of patriots having fun and actually doing something.  Questions? Contact Steve.

    In the meanwhile, its worth taking a look at these:


    Just a start.

    Tapayer Party Mel Valkner sends THIS out today to email boxes:

    "Re-election goes to those who have best served their constituents. That is not the case with Rep. Fred Upton. Like President Obama, he is out of touch.

    Here are ten reasons Fred Upton deserves to lose to Jack Hoogendyk in the Republican Primary August 7th:

    • Article II, Section 10 of the Michigan Constitution says, "No person shall be elected to office as representative in the United States House of Representatives more than three times during any twelve year period. Upton has been elected 13 straight times.
    • Last election he promoted a "Five-Point Jobs Plan" none of which have been implemented.
    • When he came to office the National Debt was $3.5 trillion, now it is nearly $16 trillion despite having a Republican President and Congress 50% of the time.
    • Upton voted for the $1 trillion TARP bailout, much of it going to big banks.
    • Upton voted to outlaw the ordinary incandescent light bulb.
    • Upton voted for "Cash for Clunkers," a wasteful spending bill that disastrously destroyed thousands of good used cars driving up prices by 25%.
    • Upton voted for NAFTA causing the loss of 400,000 high-paying Michigan jobs.
    • Upton voted for the federal education program "No Child Left Behind" destroying local authority of public schools.
    • Upton for the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, an unfunded federal healthcare plan leading to Obamacare.
    • Upton has lied about Jack Hoogendyk - so much for being a "nice guy." At least 10 negative mailers have been sent by Upton about Hoogendyk, none of which are true and full of distortions. Why trust someone who will not tell the truth, simply to win an election?

    Oh sure, he did a little good here and there but, overall, the harm he and his cohorts have inflicted will cost our children and grandchildren trillions of dollars over their lifetimes.

    In spite of all the above, Kalamazoo County Republican leaders including Margaret O'Brien and Tonya Schuitmaker are supporting Upton, contrary to their most vocal supporters that stood behind them in their last election - all for the sake of the "establishment."

    Ultimately you decide who will represent every district in the U.S. Congress. Everyone knows we can't keep going the way we are - so why would vote again for the same incumbents, in this case Fred Upton?

    Isn't it time to vote for the other guy and let him have a try to get us out of this mess?
    "

    No kidding.

    Stay involved people.
