About 500 showed up, including ". . . Ralph and Carolyn Glugla of Belleville (who) said they were there to send a message to legislators they voted for last November.
“We want to keep them doing the right thing, stop the spending, straighten things out,” said
Carolyn Glugla, 56. The two GM retirees said they’re members of the tea party affiliate Patriots of South East Michigan. . . "
Ralph and Carolyn have got theirs, thanks to that awful auto industry that was saved by the federal government. So screw you, and all those kids (especially those of a darker shade) who might benefit from a decent education.
Dickie Morris was there, too, well compensated by the billionaire owner of the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, who has hired the toesucker to speak out against building a competing bridge. Which he did, to a rapt "crowd."

Gawd, I despise these people. They are willing dupes for the likes of Morris and his billionaire handlers. Oh, and be sure to send a message from DU to that "Patriots of South East Michigan" group:
