The primary was this past TUE for all those that chose to vote in person.  Appreciate the support of all those that voted.  However, voter turnout was only 15% overall in the district.

Folks we are going to need to do a lot better in the General Election which ends on 5 NOV.  It is a Presidential election and turnout is usually big.  To stop the freedom and liberty stripping madness in all levels of government, it will need to be RECORD SETTING.  

The people behind the push to restrict us with government over reach are well funded and supported by like minded followers.  They will turn out in force to continue the trend.  Our only hope is to overwhelm them with larger numbers of our own.  With all the ways that they have made it possible to vote, I have said it before and it bears repeating again, THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO NOT VOTE!  Get your family, friends, coworkers, and everyone you can to get out and vote.  It's our collective future that is at stake. It's time to save our cities, our state, and our nation from those that are trying to divide and conquer us.  

It's the preliminary to the main event in NOV, the general election.  There is NO EXCUSE for not voting.  Our future is at stake.  Get to your local polling place if you have not voted today.  

Ventured off to Inkster just south of Cherry Hill for the weekend before the primary election on TUE.  Please vote like your future depends upon it.  IT DOES!  There is no excuse for not voting.

Another VERY humid and warm day for strolling through these neighborhoods.  Some interesting homes and big lots.  Enjoyed the yard decorated with hot air balloon spinners hanging from the branches of the numerous trees.  Pretty cool.

On the serious side, had a long conversation with two men who had spent time in state and county run institutions.  They did their time and were now back out and making a go of it.  They said that state run facilities lacked programs designed to rehabilitate, provide job training, and get them back as contributing members of society.  They put a TV in each cell to keep them occupied instead.  As they said, if training in legit skills is not available, people are going to return to what they previously did to support themselves and commit the same crimes.  

They also described conditions regarding food that made things even more dire.  Then there was bureaucracy at the max level.  One of them related how it took 5.5 hours just to type in his name to find out that there were no outstanding warrants so that he could be released.  That cost him a job.  

We agreed that there are some people who will never be ready to head back into society.  However, for those that can return to the community, the justice system needs to be accommodating.  

Finally to the "I am a Democrat" man who will always vote that way because Republicans want to take away SS, medical, and all the other government services.  Please learn that the hate generated by this blatantly false, fear mongering has blinded you to the truth.  As the totalitarians become more open about their designs, people are seeing them for who they really are and voting for those truly dedicated to supporting and safeguarding our freedom and liberty.

In that regard, VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!  No legitimate excuse not to participate.

Had this subject in discussion with a lady out in Westland yesterday.

Once those not committed to our freedom and liberty find a strategy that works, they will stick to it no matter the consequences.

The one of late is the Divide and Conquer tactic.  They seek to divide us by race, sex, religion, marital status, education, personal wealth, origin, culture, and even profession.  Why and how?

You need look now further than about 6 of the 7 deadly sins.  Their pride and their lust for money, power, and fame are their motivation.  Then they play on others greed and envy to fuel the hate necessary to create the giant divisions between everyone.

Then in the classic style of modern politics, they offer themselves as the solution to mend all the destruction and chaos that they caused.

It's as simple and as deluded as that.  Do not play in to their game.  Seek to remove them from office and replace them with true public servants.  The future depends on you to do your due diligence and vote smart.

Back out into Westland before it got really uncomfortable this afternoon.  Did see a few people out and about on a quiet Sunday morning.  One man wondered what I thought would happen in the election.  Said I didn't know.  Told him that I had seen first hand what had gone on at the TCF center in the general election of 2020 and in the primary of 2022.  Know that SOS Benson, who must be setting a record for court battles lost, will be trying to influence the outcome again.  She considers herself the heir apparent to the governor's office once Whitler is termed out.  She is also dedicated to the kalifornication of MI.

Got out to Westland on other side of Wildwood on another muggy but lower temperature day.  Did get to talk to some folks.  One lady relayed her fear for where the country was headed.  She was very concerned about the moral direction of the country.  Another older woman said that she didn't vote and was leaving it in God's hands.  If you know someone who feels like the second lady does perhaps you, as a friend or family member, can convince them that they need to help get the country headed back in the right direction by voting for the right people.  God has given us free will which we can practice in this country to make good, moral choices.

Was invited and participated in this well moderated event.  Questions were first asked by the 3 sponsors of the event, followed by questions from the moderator, and finishing with written questions from those in attendance.  Questions were excellent at seeing who the candidates were and where they stood on a wide range of issues.  Replay of the event should be on the Western Wayne County NAACP Facebook page.  Great way to do your due diligence.  Here's a link. https://www.facebook.com/wwcnaacp/videos/1219401592570027

Headed back to the Wayne and Wick roads area of Romulus.  Shaded area with windy roads and a departure from the local standard, North/South and East/West street grid patterns.  Appreciate the offer of water about 2/3 of the way through the campaign walk.  Temperature was decent but that humidity made it challenging again.  Thanks to the other resident who followed up with me to make sure that he had a way to contact me for questions.  He is doing his due diligence.  Something that everyone must do for every election.  Our future depends upon it.

Do have lawn signs available.  Probably more important for the general election than the primary.  However, if you would like one, especially if you're near a polling area or on a major street or road, fill out the contact page.  You can also email me direct at jeffgorman4noregrets@gmail.com.

Was out in Garden City again today in the Ford and Merriman roads area.  Very pretty area with some spacious lots shaded by huge trees.  Not as many folks around on a SUN morning but did manage to talk to a few.  One lady told me how much of a burden the economy has placed on her and her children.  The American dream of owning their own house seems distant for them at this time.  She sees problem both at the state and federal level.  She was also distraught at the great divide among US citizens.  She said we needed divine intervention to get us back on track.  Could not have agreed with her more.

Back in Garden City today.  Campaigned in an area with a lot of apartments.  Talked to some very enthusiastic folks at the end of the trail.  One had flown a flag on his house.  His window was shattered with a rock and he received anonymous, threatening and insulting mail.  Is this what society has come down to?  The people targeted definitely want a change in Lansing and, if elected, I will give them the voice to effect it.
