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.

Was that the investment by the Michigan GOP for the University board and Michigan Board of Education candidates?

Is it surprising that we lost the 8 seats while at the same time maintaining control of the state house? Those state wide races needed the Michigan GOP to step up, but there wasn't any pretense of help or assistance.

Tim Bos (letter below the fold) puts it best.

As many of you know, we have determined the source of the signature gathering, and set up of "The Tea Party" of Michigan political party. As it was expected by most political observers, Mark Brewer's gang of liars cheats and thieves was found to be complicit, and without question the origin of the fraudulent placement of the party on the ballot through the signature process. The question of course, is what to do about it.

The MI GOP is not laying down to be kicked for this one.. Not this time.

Lansing, MI--Challenges on the Steffek Tea Party were filed this week on behalf of Republican candidates across the state.
On Monday, Aug. 16, a letter was delivered to the secretary of state's office requesting the Secretary of State and Bureau of Elections reject the candidates who were submitted by the Steffek group and that his group itself not be placed on any ballot.
Tuesday, challenges to the petitions filed by Steffek's group were submitted to the Board of State Canvassers showing how Steffek's group initiated a fraud against the people of Michigan.

Initiated, and achieved.. More below.
