    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.

    Each year an event that celebrates the document which makes our Republic is held in Northern Michigan with 500-1000 attendees.

    The Constitution was signed September 17, 1787. The Constitution Celebration Event is TODAY (September 15) from 1-5, with main stage activities, a children's room, and education hall. This year is the third annual event, and also includes a classic car show outdoors with awards for 'Best American Car', 'Best British Car', and of course 'best in show.'

    After the event, there is a short break until 6PM for the Founding Fathers and Mothers dinner which is used as a fundraising effort to support event activities. This years honored Founding Father And Mother will be Jim and Ida Tompkins of Traverse City. A video presentation will be shown during the affair.

    Also During the dinner we will announce our 'Grand Defender' award, which goes to a previously recognized Constitution Defender an award given to a selected member of the community for work on behalf of and consistent with the premise of constitution.

    Our special Keynote Speaker for the dinner this year is Norman R Hughes.  

    Tickets MAY still be available to those who wish to attend.  If coming to the dinner and have not already made arrangements for tickets, please come to the show early and ask.  The event is held at the Williamsburg Dinner Theater in Acme.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    On the Birth Of Our Republic

    The "Republic" is 225 years old today.

    Yesterday, we held a party in Acme to celebrate, hosting several hundred, and later in the evening, we had 110 folks join us for a dinner celebration.  This year's party was the second annual event, and included a car show, and a "Ms. Constitution" crowning.  A great deal of planning and personal time and energy goes into this, as well as resources from the volunteers and donors alike.  In fact some of the regulars here have pitched in to help make it reality.  We thank you!

    Its a pretty big  ....  Deal.

    Celebrating the birthday of our Republic as well is U.S. Representative Tim Walberg:

    "For 225 years the Constitution has been this country's bedrock.  Our founding fathers wrote it not only to address the issues of their day, but with the clear intent that it was to be used to address foreseen and unforeseen issues in the future. I believe we must continue to honor and celebrate the Constitution's principles of federalism, commitment to freedom and protection of individual liberties".
    Seen and Unforeseen.  Indeed.

    Representative Candice Miller offers a little more:

    "225 years ago today members of the Constitutional Convention signed the final draft of our Constitution and sent it to the states for ratification.  Our nation had been founded 11 years earlier on the self-evident truths that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  The Declaration of Independence also stipulated `that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.'  The ratification of our Constitution created the government of the people, by the people and for the people promised in the Declaration.  Our Constitution was truly revolutionary because never before in human history had the rights of the individual been placed before the rights of the king or the state.  In America, the people are sovereign. Our Constitution still stands 225 years later as the greatest blueprint for liberty ever created by man.  Today, every American should celebrate the freedom guaranteed by the self-government enshrined in our Constitution.  Happy Constitution Day!"
    I would echo such sentiment.

    In fact I would be a little more aggressive in upholding the little teeny tiny parts like "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." as a guide.  That tenth part of the bill of rights pretty much has been run over, spit on, and mangled to fit the agendas of politicos from both sides of the aisle for decades.

    Given that these two of our Michigan Delegation were the only ones to even note the 225th birthday of the most important part of our heritage, I salute them. I hope it is not merely sans signification.

    Happy Birthday to our Republic.

    This great man can do more from his tomb through great video clips like this, than any occupier at the white house.

    I know who my "write-in" will be for in this year's Michigan Republican Presidential Primary.

    Happy Birthday Ronald Reagan

    Today is what would be Ronald Reagan's 99th birthday.

    I am not entirely sure if there has ever been a person in the last century who was as real as the "actor president."  Certainly, the very family values, coupled with family troubles, love of god and country, and most notably, enduring love for his wife Nancy. His loyalty second to none.

    In my estimation, Reagan was the last president we have had that truly believed in liberty, and how the economic slavery that government imposes on its people limits that liberty.  He was the first president who advised against a socialized health scheme, recognizing the danger of giving so much of what should be individual choice to bureaucrats and politicians.

    He is as relevant today as when he spoke on such things when he was alive.  He may be gone now, but his lessons are not.

    Happy Birthday Ronald Wilson Reagan.

    The Origin of "The Acceptence of Abortion"

    Ever since my 22nd birthday I have not liked my birthdays.  I had spent my whole life wishing and waiting for my 21st birthday. I forgot what the consiquences where going to be, I would turn 22 the next year.  I had never thought about being 22.  To me I was like turning OLD, just like others feel at 40 or 50, I was devastated.  I started doing something as a result of this devastation, I started trying to convince people to celebrate their conception day rather then their birthday.  After all that is the true day of God's miracle of life.  Your birthday is just the day you moved from inside your mother to outside.
