2020 United States Census - Show up and be Counted. #NoFakeNews

By The Friends of Cushingberry

The US Census office is putting out erroneous information that needs to be corrected. We hope that it is not a plot to under count the citizens of Detroit and, we are strongly encouraging concerned citizens to show up and be counted. However, a mistake by the Census Bureau may be a blessing in disguise.

Just recently, we went to the internet to look for the Detroit Office of the bureau.  The address given was 15250 Grand River Detroit, MI 48227. While this appears to be false, this may be a good way to get people counted.  With a partnership between the Census Bureau  and Footlocker, people can come to the store, get counted and purchase a new pair of NIKE shoes.  This is a win, win situation for everyone and, this may be a novel idea who's time has come. 

Address of the Detroit Office of the Census Bureau as of June 20th, 2019

While politicians in Washington DC fight over placing a citizenship question on the census form, time is available to form these shoe counting partnerships. This is a prime opportunity to help cities with the historic under-counting by the Bureau. There is a 10% - 15% margin of error in the counting of people by the bureau and anything to help the situation will be greatly appreciated.


Show up and be counted by every means necessary....

Should Zoning Ordinances Be Used to Regulate the Number Of Charter Schools in a City?

By Friends of Cushingberry


The growth of charter schools have created a wild wild west for venture capitalists and financial managers who manage them at the expense of the community. The result of the grand experiment of alternative education with public funds is neighborhood blight and marginal educational results.



Case in point is the Benton Harbor School District which was presented with a form letter from the Michigan Department of Treasury to cease and desist being a high school or, the school district will be dissolved. In Benton Harbor and most cities in Michigan, there are more charter schools than kids in a neighborhood. Schools of choice allows the Department of Treasury to move the children to different school districts in Michigan. It allows wealthier districts to select the athletes and top students from other districts and leave the others to rot. What you end up with is a lot of empty buildings and money wasted with the same educational results. 



Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
State of Michigan


As of June 4th, Gov. Whitmer ordered that the high school and district remain intact.

The use of zoning laws to limit the number of schools that use public funds in a city would allow for better management of educational resources and, assist in bringing accountability to education.  The successful use of State zoning laws allowed cities like Detroit to limit the number of Marijuana provisioning centers in the city.  If you feel like a law like this would help contact State Senator Adam Holler or any member of the legislature to express your concerns. Especially State Rep Isaac Robertson (D-Detroit) who loves to hear from his constituents.

The damage of emergency management by State appointed to public schools can be reversed one step at a time through zoning.  Our children are worth more than $7500 a piece or $8500 if your child is eligible for special education. 

Laws can be changed by changing your elected officials. Some cities in Michigan are having elections in August and November of 2019.  New and progressive candidates like Scott Hughes who is running for City Council Ward 1 in Lansing Michigan is a person who will make that change. 

Ask those questions of the candidates for office and make sure to show up and vote in person or by absentee/early ballot.

Why You Need To Show Up and Vote in November 2018 - Stopping Lame Duck Voter Fraud In Advance

by Richard C. Clement  - Policy Analyst C-Systems Tech Group and 
Co host on Break It Down With Cush on www.gospel1440.com Saturdays from 12pm to 12:45pm



If elected Bill Schuette and the current Supreme Court have a plan to change the results of the Voters after the November 6th election.  In the December 2018 lame duck session, the Michigan legislature led by Senator Rick Jones(R) will impose laws that will reverse the results of the votes on all proposals and issue blanket pardons for everyone involved into the Flint Water scandal.


If you needed a reason to vote for change in the legal system a vote for Samuel Bagenstos and Megan Kathleen Cavanaugh in the Michigan Supreme Court will effectively stop them in advance.


On his first day at work Bill Schuette tried and failed to remove 54A District Court Judge Hugh Barrington Clarke from office after being appointed by Gov. Jennifer Granholm to an open Judgeship. All other governmental appointments are just a signature and a rubber stamp process honored by everyone.  Schuette took legal measures to remove Judge Clarke to the Ingham County Circuity Court, the Court of Appeals and, the Michigan Supreme Court where all of them ruled in Judge Clarke’s favor.  In their written decision, the justices all stated that the charges brought by the Attorney General were frivolous and a waste of money.

54A District Court - Lansing MI
 Judge Hugh B. Clarke Keeps His Job Despite
the wishes of Attorney General Bill Schuette

In 2011 Schuette used the vast resources of the Attorney General’s office by to charge a Lansing Michigan resident Shekina Pena for Voter fraud. Ms. Pena owned a marijuana business on Michigan Avenue and presented customers with a slate of candidates for Lansing City Council. A  candidate who was not on the list called Senator Rick Jones who called Bill Schuette to prosecute her.  The case was presented to a Jury of her peers and they found Ms. Pena innocent of all charges. 



Bill Schuette help direct the voter fraud effort to keep the Emergency Managers in place by going to the supreme court winning a legal to insert the manager law as a budget item preventing change through the ballot process. This method of Voter Fraud by legislative means was approved by the current Justices of the Supreme Court in direct contrast to the right to have your vote counted. In 2011 Gov Snyder went to the Supreme Court to impose a tax on retirees pensions to finance projects like the Karagondi/Flint debacle, salaries and, expenses for State appointed employees. Current and Retired first responders and civil service employees financed this with lower health care costs and reduction in services.

All the public servants needed was an Attorney General and Supreme Court Judges that would have taken the employees’ side by defending the state constitution regarding pensions and the will of the people by their vote.  Instead a perfect storm of one party rule along with concurring Supreme Court justices allowed the Michigan legislature to pull off the biggest Ponzi scheme ever inflicted upon public employees.


After spending millions of taxpayer dollars fighting attorneys like Dana Nessel the relentless attacks on Marijuana was so deplorable, petitions to recall him from office for insubordination to patients and falsification of documents in the Flint Water scandal, were approved by the Midland County Election Commission.

To correct these problems a vote for Gretchen Whitmer will unleash hidden figures that will bring transparency and efficiency to State Government. Having a Microsoft Man as a Lt. Governor in Garlin Gilcrest the following changes will happen.

  • The emergency manager will be removed as a line item veto
  • The courts will have pro people justices, 
  • NO marijuana business in Michigan would have to close down because of the reefer madness mentality of an appointed Sgt. Don Bailey and, 
  • Information transparency will be reformed with the honorable use of technology for the people instead of against them.

Therefore from now until November 6th 2018 at 8:00pm you must show up and vote at your City Clerks office or in person at your polling place. Our future is in the balance!
