Protest at the Capital in Lansing

  • Posted on April 13, 2011 at 9:42 pm

Here is a video from Wood TV8 about the protest that took place at the Capital building today.

I’m sure most people won’t know much about the protest here in Michigan today.  The best printed press I could find on it was from San Antonio.  Yes, I know that’s not a Michigan newspaper.  Surprise, surprise!  Here is a link with many pictures.

In Detroit many bus drivers took the day off to support the protest.

In our own local Sturgis Journal there is an article about possible budget cuts here at Sturgis that amount to a bit over a million dollars.  I can’t get to the piece online but it includes shutting down the pool which would be sad.

I also came across this bit about Ken Ross.

And then a few days later look here is Ken Ross again.  This time he’s leaving the job.

I also found this buried tidbit informative.

How High is the Price of Freedom?

I was over at Modern Schooland clicked on one of his links to theNYC Educator blog.  Holy smokes but that blog had a video with Ronald Reagan supporting unions….in Poland!  I had to laugh.  This isn’t the Ronald Reagan that killed the air traffic controllers’ union, is it?  All of the Repubs like to talk about dear Ronnie, but they never mention this Ronnie.

And here is more…

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”  Those words were spoken by none other than Ronald Reagan.  If governors like Walker, Snyder and the other Repubs love Reagan so much, why don’t they follow his advice and protect unions?

I like this video here on labor in the United States.  This interview is with Elaine Bernard, the head of the trade union program at Harvard Law school.

Moving on over to the SkyDancing blog I came across another video post from Real News. Something is up and it’s not to help the American worker.  This professor says the objective is to move the tax burden to labor.  He talks about parasites and hosts.  Watch this video and think about that war I wrote about on the American people.  When the parasites are done destroying our country, don’t worry, they’ll just move on to another country!
