want to silence your voice in every way pos-
sible.
Registered Michigan voters must contin-
ue to have the right to petition other regis-
tered Michigan voters through referendum
to allow a fair vote of the people of the State
of Michigan. Blocking the right of all
Michigan citizens to vote is just wrong.
Please call your state representative and
Governor Rick Snyder today. Ask them put
public policy before politics. Ask them to
uphold your vote and the integrity of democ-
racy by rejecting S.B. 288 and H.B. 4552, or
any other "version" of this ridiculous attempt
to circumvent thewill of the people and your
voice!

ly much more crucial than public safety.
These are the geniuses, too, who prohibited
their fire department from transporting and
billing the appropriate insurance compa-
nies for taking patients to hospitals, which is
a very lucrative source of income for the pri-
vate company.
Because public safety professionals are
just that, professionals who understand the
real danger to residents these poor deci-
sions presented, the neighboring community
fire departments responded whenever they
were called or needed, sometimes more
quickly than the reduced Plymouth
Township crews couldmanage.
Last week, however, these good neighbors
realized that theywere allowing this travesty
to continue and were actually enabling
Plymouth Township to continue on this dan-
gerous downward spiral. Northville and
Canton townships and the City of Livonia
took the unprecedented step of notifying the
township that they will no longer be subsi-
dizing the private ambulance company at
rescue andmedical emergency runs.
All three were careful to emphasize that
they will still help in a real emergency or a
fire, after all, who else is there?But theywill
no longer provide treatment and back-up
when the township calls the private ambu-
lance company which then transports the
injured and gets paid by an insurance com-
pany or the patient.
We think they made the right decision.
The taxpayers who pay for these public safe-
ty services in their own communities should
be their priority and they need to keep their
rigs andEMTs available for those residents.
It is the professional courtesy and dedica-
tion these neighbors have exhibited that has
allowed Plymouth Township to cloak their
foolish and ill-advised decisions in secrecy
and provide a false sense of security and
well being to residents.
Perhaps this action will help shine a light
on the danger and peril the residents of
Plymouth Township face because of the
arrogance and political vengeance of the
people they entrusted to properly manage
their community.
ed to know if when teens went to the library
and accessed information if they were all in
jeopardy of going home and trying out what-
ever it was they saw. “Do you think people
are out across the country building bombs
because of the stories in the paper about
Boston?” he asked. “Should they have pulled
all the reports of the Columbine shooting
because every teen would go get a gun to
take back to school?” “What about Sandy
Hook, should papers have covered that up,
too?”
“If they watch Jackass, are they going to
try riding amotorcycle off a barn roof?”
Lordy, I hope not.
Although, they all are doing that crazy
Harlem Shake dance and that Gangman
style stuff that was on the internet.
Anyway, if anybody thought I was serious,
I apologize. It was a joke. It was intended to
behumorous, but allegedly failed, miserably.
My grandchildren and I are NOT banned
from Target, we did not play any of the
pranks described and Target management
has never, ever sent me a letter telling me
not to return to the store.
We never got anybody arrested, much less
ourselves, we didn't cause any disturbance of
any kind and the pranks described were
almost all taken from an internet account or
two.
Apparently, there, it was funny.
