Zako: Dealing with the Social Pathology of War

by

Proud MI alum, Dr. Lou

Dr. Lou Zako, ECRP vice-chair and Petoskey News-Review editorialist, has been carefully weighing in on the topic of social pathologies – difficult issues such as poverty and racism.

In his most recent column,  the good doctor discusses war. Specifically, how a strong military not only discourages war but it also discourages isolationism. Quote: “So one may ask what is a better treatment for war? I would submit that a militarily-dominate U.S., recognized by every nation on earth as a beacon for freedom, in alliance with other freedom-loving nations, is a far better deterrent to war than a feckless UN, the majority members of which consists of dictatorships.”

Read it all, and note that this column features a bonus – a mention of Lou and M.J.’s mission trip to the small African nation of Rwanda.

Ronna Re-Elected RNC Chair

by

On January 25, 2019, members of the Republican National Committee (RNC) re-elected Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to a second term. McDaniel, the second woman ever elected chair of the RNC, is the first woman to be elected twice to the position. By the end of her second term, she will become the longest-serving woman as RNC chair. McDaniel’s re-election vote was unanimous.

“I am deeply grateful to have the full support of the RNC members for a second term,” said Chairwoman McDaniel. “We’ve accomplished so much together, and I look forward to working with the members and our newly elected leadership on another successful presidential election cycle. Over the next two years, we will build upon our historic investments to grow our Party, engage with voters, and re-elect President Trump in 2020.”

The ECRP offers its hearty congratulations to Ronna who grew up in Oakland County, MI.

Bergman Donates “Shutdown Salary” to Charity

by

GOP Congressman Jack Bergman, MI-01, had this to say about border security and the partial shutdown of the federal government:

“One of the main priorities of Congress is to fund the federal government and prioritize our national security, yet Democrats are refusing to come to the negotiating table to do just that. I support President Trump in this fight for border security because there is no greater responsibility than protecting the American people.

As negotiations continue, I’ll be donating my salary to local charity organizations in Michigan’s First District. If Congress fails to do its job resulting in a shutdown, then we should forfeit our pay as well. American citizens sent us to Washington to solve problems, not cause them. If we can’t do that, we don’t deserve to get paid.”
