Candidate endorsement

EDITOR: Do you believe in and support the U.S. Constitution as written? What I mean by that is I hear some when running for office say, “I support the Constitution, but. As soon as you hear the word “but”, what they really mean is they only support it if it fits their own personal agenda. Some also once elected swear an oath to the Constitution and then vote against it on certain issues. Do you believe in the Second Amendment to the Constitution as written? Do you believe in private property rights? Do you believe that our local business owners have the right to stay open and ...

Candidate endorsement

EDITOR: My name is Dave Cowen and I am a retiree of the Michigan State Police. I served the State of Michigan for 29 years as a trooper, working various jobs within the department, but always on the road.

When she finally gets to modern day she ...

Proposal 3

EDITOR: As a Christian, the act of abortion has never been an option. I consider life and deaths matters for the Lord. However, I would like to point out to everyone that Proposal 3 is bad legislation. There isn’t any guidance or parameters for all the rights given to women. Will a 14 year old girl have the right to abortion, sex change, sterilization....all without parent involvement? Remember, they can’t drive, buy a beer, smoke a cigarette, or skip school. Will doctors and health facilities have the right to deny these services to women? Will we see fewer doctors in womens ...

EDITOR: My husband, the late Paul Caswell, loved our community and was extremely interested in our city and county government, including serving on the planning commission. Several years ago, he met a young business owner by the name of Kelli VanGinhoven and told me how impressed he was with her desire to serve her community, her determination to work hard to achieve her goals, and her eagerness to learn all she could about city and county government. He encouraged her to run for public office someday and said that he would be happy to be part of her campaign. Sadly, he passed away ...
