John Helge's Letter to the Supreme Court
Well, Jan. 6 and Jan. 20 are over, and a peaceful transition of power has happened in America just like it always does (except for the big lie and failed insurrection of 2021).
Donald Trump won a free and fair election, and upon taking the oath of office (while strangely avoiding putting his hand on the Bible), he proceeded to implement Project 2025.
Even though he and his campaign had distanced themselves from that 900-page right-wing playbook as soon as he took power he withdrew the USA from the Paris Accord on Climate Change and the World Health Organization informing the world that his administration does not care about our planet’s future or its inhabitants’ health and welfare. pardoned nearly 1,600 rioters convicted for the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks at the U.S. Capitol showing us all that he has no respect for the people of law enforcement or the rule of law. implemented Schedule F which enables the firing of up to 50,000 career civil servants and at once fired four senior members of the Immigration Review System. issued an executive order banning birth-right citizenship which is sanctified in the US Constitution showing he has no respect for that document except when it

​On deck....
​suits his needs. took credit for keeping 
TikTok active even after a unanimous ruling by the US Supreme Court upheld the bipartisan legislation Congress passed to limit the Chinese government’s access to personal information and influence on US citizens. threatened to take back the Panama Canal falsely claiming it was being run by China.
What will be the fate of the TES Filer Station which employs 29 local people and provides an estimated $13 million annual tax dollars to Manistee County now that the Trump administration is pulling back support for green energy projects? Federal and state support is needed for the $300 million dollar investment needed to convert from coal to woody biomass and capture the carbon that Consumers Energy will require to renew their contract.
Buckle up and get ready because there is much more Project 2025 yet to come!

We Believe

  • All people are created equal, that this is America's Fundamental ideal.
  • That America is a democracy by and for the people: ruled by the constitution and ins interpretations, protected by the Bill of Rights, and inspired by the Declaration of Independence.
  • These founding documents demand Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity for all Americans, in full and equal measure - regardless of who you are, what you believe or where you live.
  • That the Duty of government is to strive endlessly to make the ideals of Freedom, Justice and Opportunity a reality for all.
  • That the Purpose of government is to protect our nation, defend our democracy, and to endlessly promote the welfare of each and every one of us.
  • That fighting for these ideals is our purpose as a political party.
