It's not much better in Michigan, but I'm truly stunned by the underhanded way in which these extreme legislators continue to try to advance their singleminded agendas.

I am so angry that they couch their abortion and family planning restrictions in "this is what's best for you , Little Lady" language. Bull feathers. <br /> The latest one they're shoving through about not allowing abutting property owners to file a formal protest petition on a rezoning boggles the mind. Then there is the dismantling of our education system with their cuts and crazy mandates. <br />These jerks were elected on a platform of creating jobs. Did they think we wouldn't notice?<br /><br /><br /><br />Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811932255861253977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-17429225018306612762013-07-15T19:24:04.784-04:002013-07-15T19:24:04.784-04:00Surely if enough get angry the tide can be turned....Surely if enough get angry the tide can be turned.

They always find ways to subvert the will of the people. It makes me angry. For a time I was active in writing to the US congress and my state politicians when they pulled stupid stunts like this. I've even written to the president, but I've since given up. It just frustrated me more when nothing changed. Our political system just gets worse.
