Here is my message to readers. Thursday at 1:25, let's all pray for the appeal to go through. If the Jan 15 date is reinstated it is imperative that you get your little booties out there and brave the cold, on that day. I don't care if you are a Democrat or Republican, there are too many people making sure that we have a Jan 15 primary for anyone to just sit this through. People of Michigan, let's show the nation what we are made of. We have the chance to make history. Let's not blow it. I will be checking back with ya as soon as the result is in.
