Building the Brand and Charitable giving
I am happy to report that the Cass County Chapter of the SWMITPP voted to donate funds to another organization within our community. The Cass County Conservation Club has been holding a special fall fund raiser for the last few years that benefits the elderly in need with heat assistance. I took our donation to a club officer on Sunday and it was received with lots of gratitude. I did ask if the Tea Party could be publicly recognized for its donation to the Club, and was told that all outside…See More

Dr. Scott Davis said… - I guess I missed a lot last week. Sorry I finally broke down and bought the microsoft office 2010 to fix my computer.
Linda and I had a great time with the project graduation saturday. Had about 200 people there.
Matt Lori did not do that well last night. He made several serious mistakes. I downloaded it on dvd and will send it to Gene to upload on this site. that way you and others can view it. He said he ran on everyone getting healthcare. He did not know what sanctuary cities are. He had no idea illegals are gaming the health and welfare system, which we had someone there that worked there and really opened all our eyes. Matt tripped up on the constitution a couple of times. You watch for it and I hope you get to see.

- I forgive you for attempting to blow off the main issues, which was you and Dobrich support continuance of state taxes to pay for Cass County bureaucracies (that the tax payer cannot afford) and that if the tax payers protest the state taxes you and Dobrich propose a coercion tactic of threatening to raise county taxes. Is that correct?
Please don't worry about my anger, God gives me peace and I know he is the ulimate judge of all things.

- Diane, thank you so mcuh for telling me where I can find the information about how much the county, state, and federal pays for Cass County's governement workers and how much tax money the county actually has to spend on governement. But since you are running for public service could you gather that information and post it in this public forum so we can all see the budget we are working with?

- Diane are you running for treasure in Porter Township within Cass County? http://www.casscountymi.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=wkDuaB7YjX8%3D&tabid=56&mid=720
That so ironic that you would be in charge of the funds and you are defending this huge bureaucracy. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. As someone who may become part of our government we need you to keep informed on where the money is coming from. Your lack of knowledge concerning the Title IV-E is not a good sign that you will hold our government responsible Diane! You know, hold them responsible like I am holding you responsible for downplaying my legitimate argument about the out of control DHS system. P.S. I listen to Glen Beck too Diane ;-)
Also, would this be your first term or have you been in government before and if so could you please specify?

- It is conflict of interest because this judge must make rulings for individuals against Chris Kadulske’s DHS. The prosecutor should be the one pushing the issue not a judge who has taken an oath to remain non-partial on issues until presented. How can you remain non-partial when you are lobbing with the petitioner? She is too involved because she already knows how she will rule. She will rule to keep the system well paid. Check out the Michigan’s Judge Code of conduct:

Hey and by the way Diane I thought the tea party movement was against the government acting without direction from the people. Child protective service and most of DHS has become a huge bureaucracy and times are tight and they are getting nervous because they are about to be weaned down and rightfully so.
- At 11:57am on September 9, 2010, laura smith said…
- I need to correct you; most of the money that the state gets is federal. Foster care is funded mainly through the title IV E which is through social security taxes nationwide. So when the DHS says state money they are referring to the federal funds as well. There will be plenty of county money for Cass County to pay for the truly needed foster care. I said close down the huge bureaucracy of DHS not foster care. Your right on that one, there will always be a need for foster care and there will always be enough caring and non greedy people in the county or close by to take in the children. What we need to get rid of is paying for all the senseless ‘services’ that waste tax payer’s money. I will look into it in your county and post about how much the mental health system, therapist, attorneys, and other get from ‘protecting the children’.
