Mi- FLASH TeaParty Rally @ Captiol this Friday to tell board of canvassers "No Michigan Teaparties were involved'

 

 

Fellow Michigan Patriots,

 

 Tea party organizers and supporters from around the state will be in Lansing Friday, July 23rd to testify at the Michigan  Board of Canvassers that no Michigan Tea Parties were involved in the submitting of 60,000 petition signatures to the state Wednesday to qualify candidates for a new third party, a "Tea Party"  here in Michigan.. Nor is there any attempts by any Michigan Tea Parties to establish any new third party.

The organizers of the petition drive have no known ties to any Michigan Tea Party but have ties to both the Democrat party and the Union. This is nothing more than an attempt by Liberal operatives to deliberately deceive citizens of this state, to undermine the real grassroots tea party movement to further their own agenda. This is dirty Liberal/Progressive politics at its worst!

There will also be a Rally Friday, July 23rd on the steps of the Capitol

to protest this fake "Tea Party from 9:00 am to 10:00am

Sings encouraged, "NO FAKE TEA PARTY"  "NO ELECTION FRAUD" etc
If you had any contact with a paid signature gather for this fake tea party and deceptive methods were used to try to get you to sign or IF you did sign the petition, please send a  affidavit (notarized letter) should be faxed (or scanned in and emailed) to the Board of State Canvassers at:

Christopher M. Thomas

Director of Elections & Secretary to the Board of State Canvassers

Fax to (517) 241-2784 or scan in and email to elections@michigan.gov

 

Thank you for all you do for Michigan and our country.

Regards

Michigan FairTax Candidate Summit: Democrats & Republicans Unite Over Tax Replacement Plan for Michigan

 

 

July 20, 2010   Democrats and Republicans Unite Over Tax Replacement Plan for Michigan

LANSING, MI -  In a rare display of bi-partisanship, Democrat and Republican candidates for the state House and Senate spent a day together in Lansing discussing and learning more about an overall tax replacement plan for Michigan.   "The Michigan FairTax Association (MFTA) organized this Candidate Summit to provide factual answers to hard questions candidates are hearing from constituents on the campaign trail", explained Michigan FairTax President Roger Buchholtz.    "The Michigan FairTax plan is neither a Republican nor a Democrat idea and we find support for it on both sides of the aisle.  It is a tax replacement plan that will put Michigan atthe very top of states in terms of attracting capital investment, businesses and jobs to our state."    Gubernatorial candidate Pete Hoekstra, who has endorsed the MFTP, addressed the Summit and explained the benefits of moving Michigan to a FairTax system, as well as the "political realities" that candidates will face as they work toward making the FairTax the law in Michigan.  Conferees also heard by video from former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a FairTax supporter who came close to winning the Republican nomination for President in 2008.   The candidates all agree with the MFTA and strongly oppose elevating the state Sales Tax or spreading the Sales Tax to services, unless those moves are part of an overall strategy to increase worker take-home pay and make Michigan a haven for business capital investment by repealing other taxes.   Democrat Hans Barbe served as the Michigan Campaign manager for Presidential hopeful Mike Gravel, D-Alaska, in his 2008 bid for the Democrat nomination.  Barbe actually received a round of applause from the conferees when Gravel, who addressed the Summit by video, complimented Barbe's staunch support for the MI FairTax plan.  Barbe, D-Grosse Pointe Park, is running for the 2nd Senate District.  "I am excited not just about the jobs that will begin to grow right away in Michigan with a FairTax system", Barbe said, "but by abolishing the state Income Tax we are giving EVERY Michigan worker a permanent 4.35% pay raise!"   Dave VanHouten, R-Wyoming, a candidate in the 77th House District, was grateful for the opportunity to study the FairTax plan in detail.  "I learned that I can be much more aggressive in explaining the benefits of the Michigan FairTax plan", said VanHouten. "The charges against the plan that I have heard in my District are simply false claims."   MFTA Executive Director John Crawford commented on the non-partisan nature of the Michigan FairTax.  "We get barked at by our friends on the Left because they complain about the power transfer from the government to the People due to the revenue growth restrictionsunder the (FairTax) plan", explained Crawford, "while our friends on the Right object that the MI FairTax does not dramatically reduce revenue to the Government in an effort to make government smaller.  That tell s me that the Michigan FairTax is completely on the correct track to bring our families what we need most - JOBS to CHOOSE from."  The benefits of the MI FairTax come from the change in method of collection, not a change in revenue levels - that would now be up to the people to control!   # # #    30    # # #        More information on the MI FairTax, including how citizens can become involved in the tax reform effort, is available at: www.mifairtax.org Highlights of the Michigan FairTax Proposal    By backing the Michigan FairTax proposal and the people's right to vote on the Constitutional amendment, FairTax Democrat and Republican candidates have adopted a solid concrete plan that will   Provide state government all the revenue it needed last fiscal year Change the paradigm that we will no longer tax ourselves at the point where we EARN our money, but rather at the point where we SPEND our money Give every Michigan worker a permanent 4.35% pay raise by completely eliminating the state Income Tax system Make Michigan a business investment magnet by eliminating The Business Personal Property Tax Business-to-Business Sales Taxes The 22% Michigan Business Tax (MBT Surcharge) The MBT itself Thus, making Michigan a state business tax-free zone Make Michigan workers and businesses very competitive by un-burdening Michigan-made prices from the high costs of Business Taxes and their compliance Lock away 100% of Local Revenue Sharing away from the political whims of the Legislature Restore Faith in our government by taking away its ability to grant special tax favors to its favorite businesses or groups .... and that eliminates the need for much of the lobbying done today in Lansing by special interests Completely un-tax the Poor Today we tax the Poor with a 6% Sales Tax Broaden the Tax Base as far as it possibly can be which results in a Tax Rate as Low as it possibly can be Put the true cost of our state government in plain view of all of us when we purchase new goods and services rather than the current practice of burying a large part of its cost in the prices of everything we buy Provide for the Sales Tax to be the primary source of revenue for the state - a much more stable tax revenue than is an Income Tax source Assure that NO Legal Michigan resident will ever pay the full 9.75% net Sales tax Rate Effective Tax Rate for ANY household of four legal residents determined by SPENDING on New Goods & Services Spend $22,050, Effective Sales Tax Rate = 0% Spend $25,000, Effective Sales Tax Rate = 1.16% Spend $40,000 , Effective Sales Tax Rate = 4.38% Spend $75,000 , Effective Sales Tax Rate = 6.89% Spend $500,000, Effective Sales Tax Rate = 9.31%   More details and documentation are available online at www.mifairtax.org.

Fellow @GovMikeHuckabee supporters, I have to go against the Governor's MiGov pick and endorse Pete Hoekstra

Fellow Huckabee supporters,
 
As you know Gov. Huckabee has endorsed Mike Cox for Mi Gov.  I have been struggling with this and have held back on throwing my hat in a candidates ring for governor. 
 
If you have not heard, Pete Hoekstra has endorsed the Mi FairTax plan and will hold strategy sessions after the primary, if nominated to the GOP Governor ticket.  Mi FairTax is about to announce their endorsement of Pete.  We know the value of Fairtax and how Michigan could be the lead to bring this resolution to Michigan and America federally.  Thus, with great despair, I am going against Mike's endorsement and endorsing Rep Hoekstra for Governor. 
 
Pete is prolife and has all the values we hold to.  He has made mistakes in DC but for the most part has tried to steer this ship USA back to constitutional conduct by co-sponsoring the reference to the Constitutional permission on all resolutions, sponsored a bill to amend the Constitution making children under the authority of parents and not the government, endorsed fairtax, etc.  We need this man at this time in our history, a man not afraid to stand up and do the right thing as evidence in his servicing on the Intelligence committee and standing up to those who would weaken or destroy this nation.
 
In the recent Mi FairTax summit Pete Hoekstra was the keynote speaker and Governor Huckabee was the finale with a video to the summit supporting it's effort and commending Michigan to lead this Nation to fiscal recovery by enacting FairTax in Michigan, becoming the flame of liberty to sweep the land bringing fairtax to become our federal tax structure, thus healing our jobs shortage and return America to the American Dream.
 
Please give thought to this and join me in this support.  It does not in any way diminish my support for Governor Huckabee.  It simply means that despite Romney endorsing Hoekstra, I believe Pete will be his own man and lead Michigan back, thus leading America back to fiscal prosperity and the right to happiness once again ringing from the liberty bell.
