Hey Rick. Who are you voting for for Gov? I'm confused with the discussion about it as it seems many people have too many ideas of who is best. I've always trusted Barb Listing of RTL and she says we should vote for Mike Cox. Why don't us members support her?

It is great to see your face again.

Fellow Patriot,

I am the chairperson for the Twin Cities Group located in the St. Joseph / Benton Harbor area and would like to welcome you to the SW Michigan Tea Party Patriots. Thank you for your interest and hope you will actively join in our fight to preserve this great country and our constitution.

In order for you to connect with patriots from your area, please join the group nearest you, or any other groups you would like to communicate with. When you join specific groups, you will have the ability to communicate with other members of that group. You will also receive updates on upcoming events, group meetings, etc. Let me know if you have any questions.

We the people can make a difference,
Sherry Williams
