As an "outsider" to this process, she and I were among the few who did not know the results of the election until it was announced on the floor. We are incredibly proud to be among those chosen by the grassroots to be part of the November 2012 Repubican ticket!

Bill Kaufman was running for the UM Board of Regents on a platform that was heavily weighted to national security concerns and serving Michigan families first but Dan Horning won. Dan Horning never voted against a tuition increase during his entire 8 years on the Board from 2995-2002.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471227525958744648.post-9946921004459553772012-09-13T09:47:34.316-04:002012-09-13T09:47:34.316-04:00Melanie and Todd understand the dangers of Common ...Melanie and Todd understand the dangers of Common Core and IB (International Baccalaureate) to our way of life and our nation. This is literally a national security issue, as both of these will undermine the concept of our country as exceptional and unique and promote one world government. If in fact the Michigan Republicans are moving back to their roots, then they should be very concerned. Why? Because, if these programs gain the foothold, then our children (our most precious commodity) will be lost to the liberal left, and the group think of UNESCO and others, and not only our State but our country will be doomed to follow in the steps of what the liberal left (and worse) envision.<br /><br />Unfortunately, as we focus on National issues, the most important issue, the education of our next generations hits the bottom of the ballot. But these "kids" are the ones who will be making the decisions in 30 - 40 years and the public school educational path we are currently traveling does not look promising.Sue Burstein-Kahnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471227525958744648.post-65839222247232094222012-09-13T09:16:33.472-04:002012-09-13T09:16:33.472-04:00The Hofmeister Resolution never got a vote, and ma...The Hofmeister Resolution never got a vote, and many people are ticked about it. In fact, 1500 copies were distributed on the convention chairs only to be plucked out and thrown in the garbage by the state committee. It seems that the base of the party and the state committee are on opposite ends of the spectrum. We had nearly 2000 delegates there and not once did Candice Miller who chaired the meeting ever recognize the floor for anyone to make motions or fulfill their duty to the constituents who sent them there.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02694155245926007542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471227525958744648.post-60008692102465766902012-09-12T12:07:11.735-04:002012-09-12T12:07:11.735-04:00very well written thank you jack susan flowersvery well written thank you jack susan flowersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
