My Poor State of Michigan

Every time I see anything about the Emergency Manager Law, I just get instantly angry. Now they are throwing out our ballot initiative to repeal this dictatorship due to font size? Let them try and take over Detroit with one of these dictators and see how well that goes over!

Here is a letter which I today sent to Michigan Republican Caucus Chairman Randy Richardville:

Dear Senator Richardville:
I am writing this with the sincere hope that the font size I have chosen for this communique is readable for you and the rest of the Republicans in your caucus.

Clearly, the Michigan Republican Party is now so well-organized that an official state uniform might merit your consideration.

I'd like to suggest a long-sleeved style brown shirt. The shirt I have in mind has an interesting history throughout the 1930s in Europe. Although in Italy black shirts were also quite popular, overall, I think you and your fellow Republicans would be most happy with the brown.

I can get you a special "American Legislative Exchance Council" price on a thousand gross on the plain brown shirts, however, they will cost slightly more if you include the arm bands.

Sieg Heil!!

Sincerely,
Bill D.
