America's conscience is responding with strengthening itself against tyranny, while our governmental protectors now practice maneuvers in Miami, and Huston, that desensitize, and hone skills as is observed here.

A shout out to Sens. Pavlov and Colbeck, as well as Rep. Lyons and McMillin for their part.

Lansing, MI -- As parents, educators and policy makers this week commemorate National School Choice Week, parent members of the Michigan Chapter of Public School Options.org today applauded state lawmakers who have helped make Michigan one of only four states in the nation to earn an "A" grade from the Center for Education Reform.

"Each of our children have only one chance at childhood and one chance at an education that will prepare them to take on the world," said Sandy Smith, Chair of the Michigan Chapter of Public School Options.org.  "There's little wonder why parents are clamoring every day for more and better choices in their children's education."

I will try something different.

I know most of the folks around here are like minded.  Even the casual readers and wallflowers. We want, we desire, we covet a rule of law, fiscally prudent, and responsible government.  Nothing would make us happier than getting rid of that man we identify as a blow torch on the constitution.  Three judges; Markman, Zahra, Obrien would be far better than the type mentioned in the previous article. Perhaps a Senator with an IQ above 45 would best represent us.

And the list of preferred results go on.

There is no doubt we will do our part to reach these outcomes.  There is no question that we will vote our conscience.

But perhaps it will take one more thing.

A simple prayer.

"Dear Lord, as we enter into this cycle of choice, we ask for your guidance, your providence, and that you guide our decision making.  We know we are flawed and imperfect, and that you gave us your son so we could know perfection.  We seek to honor your design for humanity, and hope that our choices accomplish your will. - In Jesus' name we pray."

Senator Roger Kahn earlier this year introduced SB 918, that has been shelved until the lame duck session.  Insiders suggest that if Proposal 5 passes, the legislature would likely hold off on action of this gas tax of up to $0.40/gallon.

The ad focuses on the tough choice families must make as costs go up and income diminishes, and zeroes in on the gas tax specifically, which would affect those whom are unemployed and of modest means disproportionately.

Well, we've been looking at your record to date. You've appeared to have compiled an extensive resume, but there are a few questions that we'd like to ask you before we proceed.

Do you have a few minutes?
