Peters defeated incumbent Joe Knollenberg in 2008 to win the seat, earning 54 percent of the vote in what has traditionally been a Republican stronghold. While he's been called one of the most moderate members in Congress, Raczkowski has been attempting to link him with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi because of his vote health care legislation.

Don't forget the failed stimulus and cap and trade...

Its been a busy year.

In fact, between keeping the business afloat, deaths of family and friends, and personal political bids, its amazing I can even find the wherewithal to think, much less put those thoughts into readable and coherent text.  As a matter of priority however, the text finds its way to the top.  Hopefully as a time goes on, the big picture bears out the information flow's importance and effect on our political landscape, and ultimately on our lives.

The truth shall set us free.  Deception however.. abounds.

So much so, that its first chair Rick Snyder is now jumping on the bandwagon proclaiming that "selecting winners has got to stop" on the Ron Jolly show on WTCM this morning.  In his following statements, (I couldn't take notes on all of them as it was my drive time) he talked of how it just caused higher taxes on other folks in Michigan to give the breaks to the would-be Michigan business concerns, and targeted businesses from out of state.

You think? Rick?  Hello?

How curious however, that the nerd who would be king stopped short of calling such a complete failure ripe for complete dissolution.  He would only say amounts should be reduced.

The issue of race, and its place in politics is a perennial favorite for pundits, and documenting of issues that might affect racial relations seems to be a favorite challenge for reporters who want to be "daring" in their editorial pursuits.  Often parroting the concerns of the left, interviews will begin with a "I see you are the only black ..." and usually are followed with questions related to the stereotyping, or perhaps framing that the left has used to insist the efforts of Tea Partiers or conservatives are racially biased.

And many of us look at these reports and scratch our heads.. wondering what in blazes they are talking about?  Because there is a majority of caucasians at Tea Party events, it automatically makes the events racist, right?  Is that how it works?  Was Kelly O'Donnell's question of the black veteran in DC on tax day a search for the truth of the matter?  When she asked: "Do you feel uncomfortable?", she couldn't have ASSUMED he was there because he wanted to be there?

His answer? "these are my people.."

Let me be the first to welcome you to Resch Strategies. It's public. We're out there. Resch Strategies is open for business!

When I told a good friend of mine I was launching a new business, he asked, "At the height of the 2nd Great Depression?" Huh, hadn't thought of that.

Actually, I had, and it does add to the stress level just a bit. Still, it's the right time, and I'm confident that Resch Strategies is the right company.

In fact, if I can say so myself, I think the front page of our site says it all: Effective communications isn't a means.  It's an end.

With so much changing in the way we all communicate with each other -- everything from Facebook to Twitter to Right Michigan to the traditional news -- an effective communications strategy has to focus on results.  And that's our game.

So, if you're reading this post, well then, you're just a click away from our site. Please, take a look around and read about what we offer, what we've done, what we aim to do and how we can help you.  Visit often.

And... off we go!
