It’s date night and you and your spouse are walking home after a relaxing evening when you suddenly hear the sound of breaking glass. You spin and see three masked men breaking into a car just down the street.

Before you can grab your phone and dial 911, one of the men notices you. He gestures to the others and they begin running toward you, shouting obscenities, while one begins to raise an arm with a pistol in his hand.

The police aren’t going to arrive in time.

You’re legally carrying a licensed concealed handgun. Do you defend yourself and your spouse?

Here are this week's important updates focused on economic and personal freedom in Michigan.

Pot, meet kettle.

In just their latest diatribe against free speech, liberal activist Rich Robinson and the shadowy Michigan Campaign Finance Network recently decried the lack of reporting and financing transparency in judicial elections—especially when those dollars back Republican candidates.

It’s the same old dog and pony show from the shadowy liberal organization.

There is a lot to be thankful for on Thanksgiving. But this year, let's remember to be thankful that the Pilgrims saved themselves from starvation and the misery of communal living through the establishment of private property rights.

Here at the Michigan Freedom Fund we hear often how disconnected Lansing feels from the rest of the state. 

On the flip side, while we’re busy living our lives, providing for our families, and rebuilding Michigan’s economy, it can be easy to lose track of everything happening at the state capitol.

That’s why you’re receiving this newsletter — the Frontlines of Freedom.

Once per week, the Michigan Freedom Fund will send you a brief update with highlights from a few of the most important news stories discussing the fight for economic and personal freedom on the job, in our state, and across the country.

We hope you’ll find these dispatches valuable, and we welcome your feedback. You can reach out to us anytime at info@michiganfreedomfund.com with your thoughts, comments or questions.

Sincerely,

Tony Daunt

Anyone who’s ever worked a job with a company email account knows the way it works. If an employee uses email at the office, the IT department — and the boss — has access to those emails, too.

We’re asked to click terms of service agreements or sign email conduct policy documents, understanding that what happens on the clock is, quite literally, the company’s business.

Why is it, then, that your employees — lawmakers in Lansing — don’t have to worry about you seeing their email?

Two weeks ago, without giving ratepayers or customer so much as a chance to read the bill, Michigan’s House Energy Policy Committee voted to advance House Bill 4298, job-killing energy legislation favored by the state’s monopoly utility providers.

Hey parents. What would you say if I told you politicians in Lansing are poised to pass a pair of bills that would take nearly $24 million each year out of Michigan classrooms? Why? So they could send that money to two massive corporations (and major campaign contributors).

Shocked? It’s worse.
