'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.' - Ronald Wilson Reagan
40th President
Welcome
What is RetakeOurGov all about? This quote from Florida's TEA Party backed Senator Marco Rubio aptly describes us:
“[The Tea Party Movement] is a grassroots movement of everyday people who will hold their leaders and the people they help elect accountable. I think that’s an extraordinarily positive development in American politics, and [it] brings us closer to the essence of the republic that our founders dreamt of.”

Clark Durant Visits RetakeOurGov
Join RetakeOurGov as we welcome US Senate Candidate Clark Durant to our February meeting. Mr. Durant is seeking the Republican nomination and the opportunity to challenge Democrat Debbie Stabenow in November.
Fund the Battle Against Obama Care Senators
Fund the Battle Against Senators Voting Yes on SB 693!
Michigan Citizens were betrayed by 13 Republican State Senators. They were elected to protect us against socialized medicine and uphold our right to choose our own healthcare. Instead, they caved into to special interests seeking to profit from the implementation of Obama Care here in Michigan. We must take action or these Rogue Senators or they will continue to defy the will of the people. Because we have a State PAC (political action committee), RetakeOurGov is fundraising for all citizens and TEA Parties who oppose Obama Care and are disgusted with the Spineless 13. Read more.
Defeat Liberalism Using Guerrilla Tactics, USA Today Campaign
Many of you are already participating in the Sticky Note Campaign. Well here is a new idea, a new application for the Sticky Notes you've come to know and love.
Some have called politics a substitute for war. In this context the "Sticky Note" campaign described below would be analogous to guerrilla warfare. The Left has the large standing armies of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, etc. We have individual patriots fighting "tooth and nail" using every creative "weapon" at our disposal. Since its introduction the Sticky Note Campaign has been very popular. Now we've modified it enabling us to keep a consistent message while involving many more people.
RetakeOurGov Thanks Michigan Supreme Court Justice Brian Zahra
RetakeOurGov extends its heartfelt thanks to Michigan Supreme Court Justice Brian Zahra for agreeing participate in our Constitution Scholarship Program. Justice Zahra will lead a panel of citizens and legal scholars in judging our essay competition for Livingston County High School Seniors.
Our scholarship program was introduced to the public at our September 13th meeting. Click here for more details including a 2.5 minutes audio clip from WHMI.
Justice Zahra was appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court on January 11, 2011 by Governor Rick Snyder to replace Maura Corrigan who was in turn appointed to head the Michigan Department of Human Services. Zahra, 51, will need to stand for election in November, 2012 to retain the position.
U.S. Senate Candidate Forum
RetakeOurGov is part of a coalition of five TEA Party groups that sponsored a U.S. Senate Candidate Forum in Milford, MI on November 29, 2011. We have posted video of this event for those who could not attend or for those who want to review what the candidates said. Read more.
We have also posted news media coverage of the event from the Observer Eccentric News.
Paul Ryan Sheds Light on Washington's Phony Budget Cuts
This short video summarizes everything you need to know about smoke and mirrors in Washington D.C. A private-sector company using these types of accounting gimmicks would either go bankrupt or be shut down by federal regulators. The American people, their children, and their grandchildren deserve better. We cannot continue to let the Federal government borrow 40 cents out of every dollars it spends.
Watch this two minute video of Congressman Paul Ryan (R) as he explains how elites in Washington use trickery and sleight of hand to produce phony-baloney spending cuts. Anyone in D.C. who doesn't take this spending crisis seriously will be unemployed come November 2012!

Washington Cuts Spending
Yeah, right
The Republican establishment in Washington D.C. spoke favorably about the spending reductions that accompanied the raising of America’s debt ceiling. In contrast the liberal Democrats complained about the draconian spending cuts. Who can you believe?

RetakeOurGov's Story
Why did we form a PAC?
Many citizens have the desire to help the TEA party movement, but not the time to help. A PAC provides these citizens with an opportunity to contribute to the movement. Read more
Why contribute to our PAC instead of giving directly to a candidate?
Contributing to a PAC amplifies your voice by combining your funds with the funds of other like-minded individuals. Contributions to RetakeOurGov PAC amplify your voice by directly opposing tax and spend career politicians while simultaneously growing the strength of the TEA Party movement.
