Today is:
The Commanders Group (comprised of each Veterans Service Organization) has planned a rally on
the Capitol Grounds in Lansing at 3:30 p.m., Thursday, May 21st, following the State Memorial
Service. This rally is being organized to protect both Section 707 of Senate Bill 250 and the
recent cuts by Governor Granholm.
Please rally the troops and come to Lansing for this most vital event. Bring as many people
as you can to show support for the cause. The more voices we have, the louder we will be heard.
If you need any details on the rally, SB 250, or the Governor’s cuts, please contact
Kim Siedelberg at 517-371-4720, x-13.
See you in Lansing next Thursday!
William Anderson, State Commander
The American Legion, Department of Michigan
517-371-4720, x-13
Note: VVA State Service Office was cut by 75% by the "pro-veteran" Governor's Executive Order. Interestingly enough, she did not offer to "pay her own benifits" or "contribute anything toward her retirement" (like the rest of do). gd moore Web Master
