We NEED our voices to be even STRONGER on Tuesday!! Each legislator's office that is being visited keeping tallies from the phone calls and visitors.

For those of you who can go to the Capitol on Tuesday for this historic vote, there will be accommodations from AFP and those details are below. Be safe and prepared to keep your cool when the union crowd gets heated up. It is being reported that they will be causing MAYHAM on purpose. Don't take the bait, they will try to get you on video too. But you can bring some HOMEMADE SIGNS SUPPORTING RIGHT TO WORK - The media LOVE signs!

Capitol Rally Information

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012 from 10am until 3pm - conservatives continue their efforts to support their Senators and also turn their attention to support their Members of the House of Representatives. Anytime from 10am - 3pm, MAKE TIME to join fellow conservatives in the large white tent on the southeast lawn of the State Capitol. (If you want to go into the Capitol and you brought signs, you will need to leave your signs outside in the tent).

Ideas for signs:

Labor Freedom
Workers Choice
Right to Work 4 MORE
Unions Limit Income Workers Right to Choose
Bring Jobs Back

Additionally (specifically from We the People of MM):

***Again, tomorrow is a very important historical day for Michigan. We would love for as many of our tea party people as possible to be there to speak with representatives and senators and make sure they remain committed to RTW. Americans for Prosperity and several other conservative groups will be there to help guide you through the day. They are located in a large white heated tent on the south lawn of the Capitol. If you cannot go in a group, please just stay at home and make phone calls and send emails. This is important too. We know that there is going to be a union presence there. The difference between those in favor of Freedom to Work legislation and pro-union protesters is like night and day, truly. This comment has been made by many of our lawmakers. They need to hear from and see those that support them but we do not want anyone to be in harm's way to do so. We have every right to be there, it is our Capitol too. Use your discretion to decide how you might help in this historic, important measure for our state! God bless Michigan!***

Top Michigan Democrats Protest Right To Work As It Cuts Into Their Pay, Err Worker's Pay

Michigan's biggest Democrats must really be afaid the union donations are going dry up if tens of thousands of forced union members stop paying their dues, while keeping their jobs

After meeting with Gov. Rick Snyder on Monday, a group of senior Democrats called on him to either veto Michigan's controversial right-to-work measure if passed by the Legislature or to at least put the vote off to allow more discussion.

Sen. Carl Levin, Reps. John Dingell, John Conyers, Sander Levin, Gary Peters, Hansen Clark and Dave Curson and Rep.-elect Dan Kildee held a press conference after their hour-and-a-half meeting with the Republican governor and said the meeting at Cadillac Place was "blunt."

The Democrats are sharply critical of the right-to-work proposal that would allow union members to opt out of paying dues.

Michigan Senator Gretchen Whitmer: Obama Keep Our Cash

LANSING, Mich. — A top Michigan Democrat is looking to President Obama to deliver retribution to Republicans after the GOP-dominated state legislature approved a package of bills that could make this stronghold of union power the nation’s 24th right-to-work state as early as next week.

Senate Democratic Leader Gretchen Whitmer, who on Thursday called the votes to approve the right-to-work measure “petty and vindictive politics,” sparked more backlash Friday when she said she wants the president, who is set to visit Detroit on a previously scheduled political trip on Monday, to push back on Republican Gov. Rick Snyder by holding back federal money for a new international bridge project to Canada and a badly needed mass-transit program in ailing Detroit.

“We are hoping that when President Obama comes to Michigan next week, that this is going to be on his radar screen, that he’s going to say Michigan doesn’t care about their middle class, [so] why should we be bending over backwards to make sure that this governor is able to deliver on his promise,” said Mrs. Whitmer in an interview with local radio station WWJ.

Her remarks, amid calls from other Democrats and union leaders to use all legal means necessary to stop the bills from becoming law, drew a stern rebuke from WJR host Frank Beckmann.

Violence in Lansing?: Far-Left Occupier Anarchist Lisa Fithian will be in Lansing, Michigan On Tuesday

Yahoo News is reporting that far-left anarchist Lisa Fithian is training protestors in Michigan on "direct action techniques" in preparation for the upcoming right-to-work protests. Fithian, exposed in the film Occupy Unmasked, is the radical frequently employed by labor unions such as the United Auto Workers.

According to Yahoo:

More than 200 activists attended training Saturday in preparation for a protest at the Michigan Capitol, where lawmakers are putting the final touches on legislation that would allow workers to shop for a new union or opt out all together. The legislation will alto have a say in what causes their dues support.

Between chants, cheers and applause, organizers warned those at the training to be prepared for insults and obstruction Tuesday in Lansing. The volunteers lined up on opposite sides of a long hall at UAW Local 600 in suburban Detroit and took turn turns portraying protesters.

Fithian is known for advocating violent behavior.

Brandon Darby, long time nemesis of Fithian commented:

Lisa Fithian openly states that she exists to make capitalism and patriarchy crash, she openly states that she needs to create chaos in order to build want she wants. Combine this with her open support of convicted bomb makers who wanted to burn and maim law enforcement officers and Republican delegates at the 2008 RNC -- I'd say this is a dangerous situation

Union Thugs Storm Lansing Police Make Arrests and Use Pepper Spray

The situation in Lansing has become very explosive and Union Protestors are screaming and shoving pro Freedom to Work advocates. The Lansing State Capital Building has been shut down.

One state senator told Detroit Station WXYZ ABC 7 Action news Tom Wait that it is getting ugly in Lansing where police reportedly used pepper-spray on some protesters inside the capitol and have also made arrests.

Sources say democrats will try parliamentary tactics to delay a vote on the "right to work" legislation

Another eye witness reports, "Union members protesting a right-to-work law turn from picketing the capitol to intimidating other citizens supporting a right-to-work law, getting physical and screaming at a man playing a Ronald Reagan speech. One union member resorts to personally cussing out the man playing the speech"

There are many union thugs out here, some are suggesting that many of them may be from Wisconsin that pulled the same behavior against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker a year ago.

Republican State Representative and newley elected National Republican Committeman Dave Agema states on his facebook page "People have been arrested and maced today in the capitol. The pounding on the inside structure of the building is causing concern. The balconies are full of protesters but we will prevail."

Republican State Representaive Kurt Heise writes on his Facebook page "The House has invoked Rule 32 which mandates that we sit in our seats, and not leave them without the permission of the Seargants-At-Arms. First Amendment is alive and well in the halls of the Capitol today, too."

Republican State Representative Rick Jones writes on his Facebook page "Everyone is welcome to protest at the Capitol. But some seem to be attempting to cause a riot. Banging on the inside of the historic building causing damage. 8 have been arrested"
