Some of you may have seen this story linked on the Drudge Report; State to begin tracking children's weight...
It would seem that the Governor of MI, Rick Synder (R) has to pay back the Obama administration for throwing money his way for a pet project of his and this is my response directly to his office,,,,

Governor Snyder,
I will state first off that I supported your candidacy and voted for you. Second, I have supported nearly everything you have proposed and the legislature has passed up until this point, except for one which I believe is connected (continue reading),,,,
Now, I as a conservative have to respectively ask - Have you lost your mind? Or is this 'tracking children's weight' a pay-back to the Obama administration for throwing money at you for your bridge project? By the by, I do not support that bridge idea either as the private sector can do it better, faster and cheaper and you of all people should know this.
Back to this liberal, socialist nanny-state idea of tracking anything that is of a private and personal nature by any type or size of government is un-American at it's core and you should rescind any and all actions toward this end.
This, your 'policy', is exactly why nearly 88% across the Nation are AGAINST the current POTUS and his Marxist policies (Obamacare) and will see him unemployed in 2012.
What you have put into motion with this action is the deepest intrusion into the privacy held between a doctor and his or her patient no matter the age and furthermore disrupting what would normally be a private matter between parents and their offspring.
This action is deplorable on your part and will face fierce and bitter rejection on the part of Michigan residents of all stripes and they will be justified in doing so.
Should you not rescind this socialist decision and continue with it, by God's Good Graces I will be front and center in the effort to UN ELECT YOU!
