After all the uproar over things Dave Agema posts to Facebok-even if just a share-it's clear their are consequences for political figures who post on social media.

That's why some are worried about State Rep. Peter Pettalia's recent post featuring "naked young women skinny dipping."

Pettalia is positioning himself for a Congressional run to replace a retiring Dr. Dan Benishek. The race is currently between State Sen. Tom Casperson and former State Sen. Jason Allen...

In a swing Congressional district like Michigan's First, some worry such antics are fodder for the Dems in November. Already in a Presidential year that is more favorable Dems, the margin for Republican error is slim.

When clicked, the picture is a joke that references the young women possibly being attacked by an alligator...

WOW: Meekhof Stands Alone, Sides With Animal Abusers In Bizarre Series Of Votes

Most of us can barely stand to watch those heartbreaking commercials of abused and neglected animals, but it looks like Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof feels a different way.

In a shocking and bizarre series of votes,  Meekhof sided with animal abusers over Michiganders who love their pets and consider them part of the family.

In one vote, Meekhof was the ONLY Senator to vote against ending a fee on background checks during pet adoption. Arlan wants as much of your money in Lansing, even on the backs of poor and helpless pets looking for a home.

In another vote, Meekhof let animal abusers have quicker access to animals despite horrendous past abuse.

"Introduced by Sen. Rick Jones (R) on March 18, 2015, to revise a law that prohibits an individual convicted of animal abuse from owning a similar animal for five years after being sentenced, to instead extend the ban to five years after completing the sentence, or whichever is later... Passed 37 to 1 in the Senate."

Why is Arlan siding with animal abusers over Michiganders? Is it a donor-driven issue? Disgusting.
