Statements
Senators Green, Hopgood, Meekhof, Young and Johnson asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Green’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, I rise today to wish Hunter Fountain a happy birthday. Hunter could not be with us; I introduced his parents earlier. Hunter is in school today.
The week before last, Hunter, a third-grader in my district, wanted to celebrate his ninth birthday with his classmates. His mother made cupcakes for the class and decorated them with little green Army men, one of Hunter’s favorite toys, and patterned after World War II American soldiers. Hunter has great respect for soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines and their sacrifice. It’s a sacrifice his family knows firsthand. His father joined the U.S. Navy right out of high school. His great-grandfather was a Navy Seabee who helped rebuild Pearl Harbor after it was attacked. Shortly after dropping Hunter off to school, his mom was informed that the cupcakes could not be served because the soldiers had guns. Yep, you heard that right—the little, toy, two-inch soldiers had guns. Little plastic Army men weren’t welcome on his birthday treat.
The school principal later declared that including the toy soldiers was insensitive in light of recent events. Throughout our American history, our soldiers have stood as a symbol of freedom and opportunity to people around the world. How much better can it get than a third-grader who admires those soldiers so much that he uses symbols of them as part of his own birthday celebration?
Kids like Hunter, who take pride in America’s men and women in uniform, give me great confidence in our younger generations, but God help us if we continue to discourage such kids by embracing radical censorship and knee-jerk political correctness. Instead of making kids safer or addressing violence in our society, the political correctness has instead resulted in a threatened suspension of an Illinois teen for wearing an official Marine Corps t-shirt to school, an actual suspension of a six-year-old for the crime of making a gun shape with his finger, and a five-year-old girl being labeled a terrorist threat and suspended from school for the crime of talking about using her pink bubble-blowing toy.
One consequence of this craziness is that good kids like Hunter are left confused and scratching their heads, and frankly, so am I. Such political correctness is distasteful and destructive, no matter where it occurs, whether in or out of schools. It flies in the face of common sense and reason, and it must end.
I am very proud of Hunter Fountain and wish more kids exhibited his respect and patriotism. I applaud his parents for instilling in their children a healthy respect for firearms and an admiration for those men and women in uniform, past and present. I’d like to let Hunter know that we are all grateful to his family for their service to our nation and that he should continue to be proud.
Happy birthday, Hunter. Your little green plastic Army men are welcome in my office anytime.
Senator Hopgood’s statement is as follows:
I rise to request immediate committee action on my legislation, Senate Bill Nos. 95 and 96, which would repeal right-to-work legislation. Colleagues, as you may know, the so-called right-to-work legislation will go into effect in just over two weeks. As you also know, this legislation was hurried through what could hardly be called the legislative process during lame duck session. Since then, I introduced the website www.repealrtw.com , which has garnered much attention from the citizens who were so wrongly shut out of the process of enacting this legislation. I’ve received overwhelming positive feedback for allowing them a chance to speak to the issue, something that was so wholeheartedly denied them during lame duck.
I’ve certainly heard a lot numbers and metrics thrown around under this administration, so perhaps if I give you some tangible numbers, it will drive home the message. The fact is 12,000 individuals have signed the petition to repeal the so-called right-to-work legislation, as my bills would do. These 12,000 individuals are people from all walks of life and from all across the state. These are individuals from your districts and mine.
I encourage my colleagues across the aisle to have honest conversations with the citizens on this issue. If you were to do so, I believe you would find that they are overwhelmingly opposed to these laws, which does nothing to move Michigan in the direction of the future but solely dabbles in partisan politics.
Please let me remind you of some of the data on what right to work means for Michigan. Only 1 of 10 states with the highest per capita income in 2010 was a right-to-work state. Of the 10 states with the lowest per capita income in 2010, 7 were right-to-work states. Among the 10 fastest-growing states, only 3 were right-to-work states. Among the 10 states with the most uninsured residents in 2011, 6 were right-to-work states.
Knowing what we know, now that we’ve had a chance to look closer at this legislation, it is downright unconscionable to allow right to work to go into effect. Colleagues, as we near our spring break, I urge you to pass this legislation. Until my legislation is acted on and right to work is repealed, we have no business taking two weeks away from our duty of serving the hardworking people of Michigan.
Senator Meekhof’s statement is as follow:
To respond through you, Mr. President, to my good friend from the 8th District: Freedom-to-work legislation was a proud accomplishment of Michigan. When we talk about it, we believe it’s because of the merits of what it will bring to Michigan and to Michigan taxpayers—hardworking Michigan taxpayers. I don’t hear any debate about the merits from the other side. What I hear about is complaints about the process. I guess that’s when you lose the argument on the merits if you complain about the process. The process was done under the rules, which were agreed to at the beginning of the session, and they were agreed to by my good colleagues on the other side of the aisle. This legislation respects every worker in Michigan; gives them the freedom and the opportunity to freely associate with any group that they wish, and I welcome any debate on the merits of the policy. The process we’ve agreed to already, so I find that argument specious.
Senator Young’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, I would like to start with a statement that I thought about on this speech. Mr. President, the only way that the gap between opportunity and prosperity is closed is through democracy. Mr. President, as I stand here before you today, as I’m speaking right now, the city of Detroit is in front of the Deputy Treasurer talking about whether or not an EM should be appointed. They are on the side of it not being appointed, and the reason why is because, as good-intentioned as it may be, it is one of the biggest threats to the democratic process we have ever seen.
The city of Detroit has a history of standing up for civil rights and voting rights. Whether it was Martin Luther King, who gave the first “I Have a Dream” speech in the city of Detroit; whether it was Rosa Parks, who lived in the city of Detroit, who sat down so a movement could stand up; whether it was Malcolm X, who gave the speech of “The Ballot or the Bullet” right here in Michigan—Mr. President, do we really want to put forth policies that will take away, that will eradicate, that will eliminate all their hard work, all their blood, sweat, and tears? What did they march for? What were they beaten for? What were they hosed for? Mr. President, what did they die for if all it takes for us to wipe out the most precious and sacred American right—the right to vote, the right for people to exercise their franchise—what did they do that for if we can just come up here and take it away?
Those who would sacrifice democracy indefinitely for fiscal austerity temporarily don’t deserve to make decisions in a democracy and don’t deserve to make decisions about fiscal austerity. Mr. President, this is wrong. Mr. President, if you take away democracy, the only road left is tyranny. The only road that is left is anarchy. We are better than that. We’re supposed to preserve. We’re supposed to expand. We’re supposed to enhance. We’re supposed to enlarge. We’re supposed to embolden the cause of liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness. That is in the Declaration of Independence, and that’s what we are about not just as Michiganders, not just living in the exceptionalism that this state has to offer, but as Americans.
Mr. President, if you lose this right, what rights do we have left? What are we fighting for? What are men and women sacrificing for overseas in the armed services? What is the purpose, you know, as we’re just sitting here talking about earlier of honoring soldiers on cupcakes or whatever, if the fundamental right that they’re fighting for, which is democracy, is taken away?
It’s wrong. It’s not right. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. This is an injustice. As I always say, it’s darkest before the dawn. Every problem presents an opportunity for prosperity. This is our time to correct this wrong. This is our time to show leadership. This is our time to ask ourselves, Mr. President, is the juice worth the squeeze? Is the price worth the prize? I understand that fiscal austerity is important. Fiscal austerity is important to all of us, but the price of democracy is too high of a cost for my constituency, for the state of Michigan to pad. Please, Mr. President, see the error of your ways, and let’s repeal the EM law.
Senator Johnson’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, through you to the good Senator from the 30th District, I just wanted to provide a bit of a rebuttal with respect to some of the statements. I believe it was placed on the record very clearly in the past two months what the deleterious effects of right to work would be. It was elicited here from myself and a number of other colleagues who spoke on the floor that it was a fast-paced way to reduce wages, to break unions, and that it is, at its core, the opportunity to break unions and to tamper with politics.
I don’t think any of us here have toyed around with this and have quibbled or have discussed it in a way that is frivolous. In fact, the facts that were put on the record were ignored. I think many of us here need to remember that; that the specific agenda riding through the latter part of lame duck last year was to push right to work as quickly as possible without any public input and without any hearings and without any rebuttal from citizens who would be adversely affected.
So I just wanted the record to reflect and make clear for those who are positioned in the Gallery and for those who are in earshot in the chamber that many, if not all, of the facts about how bad right to work would be—if, in fact, we installed it in Michigan—were said, agreed to by at least one party in this chamber and were heard by many of the residents who came to participate in peaceful protest in this Capitol.
