Michigan Tax Money Funneled to SEIU

If liberty and freedom is going to win against the forces of tyranny and dictatorship, it will not be because one party or group wins, but rather because thousands of American patriots win by doing all they can do to make liberty and freedom a reality again. With that being said, I'd like to point you all to a new blog making its appearance in the blogosphere called Make Lansing Listen run by a group called Common Sense in Government.

One of the early posts on this blog sets the bar pretty high as it exposes a $4 million taxpayer giveaway to SEIU:

Senator Jason Allen has introduced SB 731, which would take a shady, sneaky and probably illegal deal giving the sister organization of ACORN, SEIU, a $4 million dollar taxpayer giveaway and make it legal.

SB 731 deals with “The Quality Care Council”, which is set up through an “inter-local agreement” and charged with helping to protect Michigan Seniors from abuse. There is no legal authority to establish such a council. Allen’s SB 731 would give the Governor the power to legally hand over the $4 million to SEIU.

“Despite all the rationalizations about wanting to help Seniors, what the bill is really about is handing over $4 million of taxpayer money to the SEIU,” says Wendy Day, President of Common Sense in Government.

If you haven't picked up on it yet, SEIU represents a growing threat to the American republic. A labor union that lobbies for more government spending so that it can recruit more members to lobby for more government spending, etc, is a dangerous entity, especially when it is increasingly funded and supported by more and more government spending. Thank you to Make Lansing Listen for pointing out this piece of legislation, and I suggest you all contact your Michigan legislators to make your views on it heard.
