Your Voice and WHY it Matters, by Bev Horinga of Blendon Township...

*PA 233 Ottawa Onslaught*
PA 233, is legislation that was passed in Lansing by the 2023 Democratically controlled Michigan Congress. PA 233 takes power away from Townships and Municipalities and gives it to the State Government to the degree, that if local citizens weren't actively fighting it by attending meetings and making their voices heard at a constant rate online, outside foreign corporations would have already bulldozed portions of Blendon Township and Zeeland Township with no regard at all for this citizens. ***This is courtesy of Whitmer's Michigan. In Ottawa County, there are currently two such initiatives and we anticipate more. The current two that are proposed in Ottawa are for a Battery storage facility in Blendon Township and now a solar farm proposed for Zeeland Township.

Health
New CDC Stance on Vaccines isn't Anti-Science...
We appreciate this piece published in the New York Post that takes apart the arguments coming from big Pharma on the childhood vaccination schedule. It's a good one for understanding the impossible position parents have been in over the years and the shame aimed at them when they simply ask health questions.
