Dear Fellow Ron Paul Supporter,My name is Leon Drolet, a former Michigan State Representative and a veteran Ron Paul volunteer dating back to his 1996 run for Congress, who is thrilled with the momentum generated by Ron's presidential run. It stands as a sign that the American spirit has not been crushed by our dysfunctional political system.
If you are like me, then you are also wondering "what now"? How do we keep this momentum moving forward? What can we do to re-assert control over our wayward government?
I don't have all the answers. I don’t know how to get us out of the war or how to fix federal immigration policy. But I do know how we can fight for liberty locally, here in Michigan.
Politicians are primarily concerned about one thing - staying in office. They will not listen to us one bit until we can threaten their hold on power. That is why I founded the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance to fight the Lansing status quo. We knew that Granholm and her cronies would try to raise taxes, and we needed a way to fight back.
Despite our best efforts and all the logic in the world, Lansing imposed an 12% income tax hike and 22% business tax increase at a time when Michigan's average household income fell again last year and our home values continue to plummet.
We need to show the politicians that we will NOT take this abuse of our liberty and livelihood any longer. That is why citizens have risen up to recall Granholm's primary henchman in the State House, Speaker Andy Dillon (D-Redford). Granholm may be the bigger target, but recalling her would require gathering 1.4 million signatures in three months. Recalling Speaker Dillon only takes 8,720 signatures from his district in three months.
Recalling Speaker Dillon for his tax-hiking ways would send a clear message to Lansing: stealing more of our money is not acceptable, and politicians will be held accountable. In 1983, the last time Lansing tried an income tax hike, two state senators were recalled. Immediately after those recalls, the legislature rushed to undo the tax hike. That is how much they fear a motivated citizenry.
The people of Redford and Dearborn Heights are fighting for recall petition signatures every day, but they need our help. The establishment will use any means to preserve their power. Dillon's friends in the Redford Twp. government send police to harass our petition circulators, and have hired professional "blockers" to scare citizens away from signing.
There are things that everyone can do, including you. Will you help recall Michigan House Speaker Andy Dillon? The citizens working on Dillon's recall need your help to make Andy Dillon the first Speaker ever recalled from office in U.S. history. It would send shockwaves and a powerful message through the Lansing establishment.
I am asking that you make a financial contribution to the recall campaign. But first, check us out on the web at www.michiganrecalls.com and www.mitaxpayers.org. Also, go ahead and 'Google' the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance. You will see that we are pretty universally despised by big government apologists of any political party.
You can donate securely online at www.michiganrecalls.com, or send a check to Michigan Recalls, 46116 Lookout Drive, Macomb, MI 48044.
The restoration of liberty can only happen when politicians are humble again. I very much hope that you are willing to help.
I am hopeful for a response and thank you for your support, time and support of Ron Paul.
