PRESS STATEMENT - SECURE MICHIGAN VOTE…A TRICK OR TREAT!
“Halloween is coming early this year. The State Board of Canvassers have granted Secure MI Vote a bogus approval for a misleading petition drive. This petition basically restricts Michiganders right to vote. The approval to get 340,047 signatures would ban election officials from mailing absentee ballots to every voter of Michigan unless requested. It would result in more harsh restrictions of voter ID laws. This is no more than a Republican trick designed to steal the treat of the citizens right to exercise their vote.”

PRESS STATEMENT – BEAT DOWN AT THE BORDER – HAITIANS DESERVE MUCH BETTER!
“The influx of immigrants to Del Rio, Texas, most of them Haitians, has gripped the attention of the world. Graphic scenes of Haitians being run down by border patrol agents on horseback, using their lariats like a bull whip conjure up images of American enslavement. It reminds us of a period in our nation’s history filled with pain, blood, agony, and human degradation. Escaped Africans were often pursued by slavecatchers on horseback carrying bull whips in one hand, while guns were strapped to their side ready to be drawn by the other. America must do better than this.”
