Our Mission

Our mission at Grassroots in Michigan is to encourage public policy that promotes personal responsibility, individual liberty, limited government, and free markets by education, information and activism with principals and transparency. In an effort to emulate the principles upon which the United States was founded, we think this mission is best fulfilled through efforts from the bottom up, not the top-down.

NO GITMO in Michigan!

STOP GITMO

We are at the 11th hour. If we don’t stop the Gitmo detainees from coming to our shores, from being relocated here to Michigan, we will have turned a corner from which there is no turning back.  For years, it seemed our country was fighting the war on terror in some distant theater of operations “over there.” Well now the stage has been moved to a theater right here in our own back… Continue

Memo to the GOP Campaign

I get them in the mail. You probably do to. Those request for donations from the RNC. Sometimes they come with an innocuous survey with no brainer questions like "Do you support a massive government run health care system? Check one Yes No

I usually just throw them out. Oh I intended to write a letter and give them a piece of my mind but somehow with the busy life I am leading it just didn't get done. However I still wanted to and felt I NEEDED to send a strong message to the GOP. I know you feel the same and I know, like myself, that despite our best intent, there wasn't the follow through.

So I decided how can I easily get my message to the GOP? How can you?

Well one picture is worth a thousand words...this graphic (below) is down-loadable and printable right off the site!

So next time you get one of those letters from the RNC asking for donations, all you have to do is print out, and return in the conveniently post-paid envelope supplied to you by the RNC!

Share with your friends, lets get thousands upon thousands of these to the RNC! Send the message..WAKE UP GOP!

An Observation on Education in the 21st Century

I arrived early - nineish. I have a tendency to be early. So I sat at the base of the Sharpshooters Memorial on Capitol Ave. and Allegan as streams of educators flowed toward the Capitol, smiling and cajoling and ready for action. My sign read "NO COMPROMISE" which I think they thought went along with their view of things until they read the fine print that said "No Tax Grab - Good Job Mike!" I doubt if half of them even know who Mike Bishop is.

A lot of buses stopped to unload in front of me s… Continue

Bakken Oil Field in U.S.A. Environmentalists keeping us dependent on foreign oil

I received this information in an e-mail. Am I the only one who is astonished?

About 6 months ago I was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest. This is out of context, but this is the actual question as asked. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer, how much oil does theU.S. have in the ground." Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the Middle Eastput together." Please read below.

The Madness of Queen Nancy


By JOHN FUND
It's one thing to be serene under fire, it's another to be delusional.

More than a few Democrats in Congress are perplexed and worried that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is insisting on ramming through a 1,900-page health care bill on Saturday, just days after her party took heavy losses… Continue
