What Petition Did I Sign?

Lately I've been complaining about a certain post at the State of Michigan website - a post urging citizens to sign an electronic petition demanding President Bush to intervene and lower gas prices.

Apparently others are mad, too - but about something else.

GOP charges governor used gas petition to send e-mail
State Republicans charged Tuesday that Gov. Jennifer Granholm abused the trust and privacy rights of constituents when her campaign solicited support from 280,000 signers of an online petition about gas prices that the governor's office circulated in May.
Michigan GOP Chairman Saul Anuzis accused Granholm of duping citizens who thought they were registering displeasure over soaring gas prices with government officials but were instead signing up for campaign spam.

About 2 Valuable

Welcome

Welcome to 2 Valuable. My name is Jay, and as you may have guessed by the title, this blog is primarily about and in defense of the 2nd Amendment and the Bill of Rights. I am also a history geek, motorcyclist, writer, and interested in just about everything, so I will comment off-topic a lot.

About Me (Readers Digest Version)

I am a proud alumnus of the University of Michigan, even if it is a cesspool of rotten socialist thinking. It's my alma mater (that means "other mother" in Latin), so don't go makin' fun of Momma... especially if you are from Ohio State.

That reminds me: any favorable comments about Ohio State University or their Buckeye teams left on a post will be printed off on paper, burned, then immediately deleted from the computer system. However, members of the Buckeye Firearms Association (even OSU alumni) get a free pass - you guys do good work for the 2A.

All of my formal education took place in the publik skuul sistim, but in spite of that, I learned how to write and think.

I strongly believe in the self-defense rights re-affirmed by the Founding Fathers' in the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment doesn't grant us any right - it simply codifies a pre-existing God-given right (as do the other nine amendments in our Bill of Rights).

The Disclaimer Stuff:

I try very hard to give credit to all non-original material. There are rare cases where I do not know who to credit, and I apologize.

Any person mentioned in relation to a crime is not guilty until and unless they are found guilty in a court of law, regardless of what the court of public opinion decides.

My opinions are simply that: my opinions. They do not necessarily represent any other organization or person promoted on this blog. These opinions may not be popular with some, but they are protected by the First Amendment.
