Vote in midterms against the threat of socialism

Within a few short weeks, voters in Michigan will be making the most important decision in not only our lifetime but the lifetime of our children and grandchildren as well. This is not a matter of Democrat or Republican affiliation but what we want our country to become. America has always had strength beyond measure. Our military has proven itself strong and protective for generations. God was foremost in the minds of most Americans. As time went on, God took a back seat on the bus; our education system dwindled down from the three R’s to DEI, CRT and other very concerning issues. ...

Making the case for voting Democratic

The control of both the executive and legislative branches by the current Republican administration and Congress has accelerated a deeply concerning decline in our nation’s foundational systems and global standing.
