    ~. M DCIHI 0 ~N _FARM NEWS THE ACTION/ :ATION OF THE MICHIGAN FARM BUREAU I hed Monthly by Michigan Farm Bureau June 1, 1968 YOUNG FARMERS -LOOK AHEAD It is becoming obvious that Michigan's youthful Fann Bureau me!TIbers take seriously the theme of a recent Young Farmer program - "Participation, Key to Action." Their effective particiWltion in all phases of Farm Bureau work is sparking action in many parts of the state - in Young Farmer Community groups and in county-wide Youn~ Farmer programs .. A group of 65 youthful Farm Bureau leaders met re-, cently in Saginaw for a three-day Young Fanner training conference, based on'the "Participation - Key to Action~~ theme. j Speakers included three representatives of Michigan' Farm Bureau: Elton R. Smith, president; Dan Ree~, s~cretary-manager; and Dale Sherwin, legislative counsel;- Jack Angell, director of Broadcast Services, American Farm Bureau Federation; and Earl J. Hill, public relations, Consumers Power Company. Two-fold purpose of the meeting was to point out major objectives of Young Farmer activities in Michigan, and to encourage greater participation among young fanners in Michigan Fann Bureau. \Vith a state-wide membership of more than 52,000 families, the organization includes several thousand young farmers. The conference was conducted by the Young Farmer committee of MFB, and Larry Karsten of Presque Isle county was general chainnan. During the sessions, participants indicated interest in learning more about the history, philosophy and organiza- tional structure of Farm Bureau. Classes were devoted to discussion of these topics, along with others on marketing THE "COUNTRY COUSINS" - Young Farmer Communitx: Group of Calhoun county, and political education.

  • Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan
    Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan Submitted by Joshua Koss To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College 1 Abstract Conventional wisdom in the study of members of Congress, pioneered by Richard Fenno, argues that one of the chief goals of elected officials is their reelection. However, this theory does not account for those who willingly retire from Congress. Who are these former members and what activities do they pursue once they leave office? To answer the first question, this project analyzes data on retired members of Congress from the state of Michigan regarding the years they served, party identification, and their age of retirement. The second and perhaps more interesting question in this research, examines the post-congressional careers of former members of Congress and whether their new line of work has any connections with their time in Congress through committee assignments and issue advocacy. In addition to quantitative analysis of the attributes of former members and their post-congressional careers, a qualitative analysis is conducted through a comparative case study of retired Senator Donald Riegle and former Representative Mike Rogers. This aspect of the study more closely examines their respective career paths through congress and post-congressional vocations. 2 Introduction In 1974, Democratic Congresswoman Martha Griffiths announced her retirement from the House of Representatives citing her age, 62, as a key motivation for the decision. After this, Griffiths would serve two terms as Michigan Lieutenant Governor before being dropped off the ticket, at the age of 78, due to concerns about her age, a claim she deemed “ridiculous” (“Griffiths, Martha Wright”).

Students made original works of art depicting the theme of “The Importance of Voting.” The winning art piece, shown on the cover, was created by Kate Donoghue of Sylvan Lake. “Through my picture, I tried to portray that if you have the ability to vote but do not take the opportunity to do it, your thoughts and opinions will never be represented,” said Kate. She added, “I think that it is very important to vote if you have the chance to do so because your beliefs and the decision making ability of others could determine your future.” Kate used Sharpies and watercolor pencils to create her artwork.

  • Michigan Catholic Conference 2002 Congressional Candidate Questionnaire
    Volume 30, Number 3 September, 2002 Michigan Catholic Conference 2002 Congressional Candidate Questionnaire …Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Declaration of Independence One of the most important duties of an American citizen is casting a ballot in an election. This November, Michigan’s citizens will be voting to select the fifteen representatives and one senator who will be responsible for making sure the voices of the people of Michigan are heard in the United States Congress. In order to help the voters of Michigan make an informed choice about their representation in Washington, D.C., the Michigan Catholic Conference has solicited the positions of the thirty Democratic and Republican candidates for the U.S. House and Senate on a variety of issues. We are pleased to make their answers available to you. Questionnaires were sent to the congressional and senate candidates from the major parties in early September 2002. Candidates were asked to mark whether their position was in support of, or in opposition to, the subject of questions found on pages two and three. Candidates were also given the opportunity of noting where they had no position on an issue. In some cases, candidates provided comments or answers on questions unsolicited by the Michigan Catholic Conference. Because the MCC candidate questionnaire did not include a spe- cific area for comment, these unsolicited comments and additions have not been reproduced here. The comments of the candidates will be provided upon request. The Michigan Catholic Conference does not endorse or oppose any candidates, under any circumstances, and no inference of endorsement or opposition should be concluded as a result of information provided in this issue of FOCUS.
