Lansing, MI – Student Democrats at Michigan State University are expecting more than 200 people at a protest against TV and radio talk show host Glenn Beck. Beck is scheduled to speak Tuesday evening at the annual meeting of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce in East Lansing.
Mitchell Rivard. president of MSU College Democrats, accuses Beck of misrepresenting the debate on health care reform. He says students do recognize Beck s right to free speech, but it is equally our right as concerned students and citizens from all across the state to ascend on East Lansing today and to protest Glenn Beck and to say enough is enough of these lies. You know you need to tell the truth from here on out or you need to apologize for these lies that you ve said in the past.

Washington Seven Michigan Democrats traveled to Dearborn to take part in President Joe Biden’s visit to a Ford Motor Co. plant while Congress was meeting Tuesday, casting votes remotely by proxy with each citing the “ongoing health emergency.”
The seven lawmakers cast four roll-call votes by proxy late Tuesday afternoon and evening after participating in Biden’s event at Ford’s Rouge Electric Vehicle Center earlier in the day.
Republicans and Democrats alike have been criticized for using the proxy voting system while being absent for reasons that appear unrelated to COVID-19.
