Doom to you who legislate evil, who make laws that make victims -- laws that make misery for the poor, that rob my destitute people of dignity, exploiting defenseless widows, taking advantage of homeless children. What will you have to say on Judgment Day, when Doomsday arrives out of the blue? Who will you get to help you? What good will your money do you? (Isaiah 10:1-3, The Message)

There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad w/radiance. william sharp

I think no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth? edward giobbi

 www.kidsnotceos.com now also shows how much money higher education institutions across the state have lost thanks to Gov. Snyder's education cuts. Over the last four years, higher ed has had to deal with a loss of $623,235,000. The information at the website is broken down by each community college, college and university.

Sen. Bert Johnson (D-Detroit) and Sen. Hoon-Yung Hopgood (D-Taylor), leading critics of HB 4369 to expand the Education Achievement Authority, are calling on voters to sign a petition blocking a vote on the bill. You can tell legislators that the EAA is a failed experiment that should be ended-not expanded-by going to www.senatedems.com/StopEAA and signing the petition.
