Sisters calling for Weiser’s removal as chair of the Michigan Republican Party
The Daily Telegram
As women of faith whose congregations have served the people of Michigan – men and women, Republican and Democratic – for 1,084 collective years, we were deeply troubled and alarmed to hear University of Michigan Regent and Michigan Republican Party Chairman Ron Weiser refer to our state’s top three elected women officials as “witches” that the GOP’s “job now is to soften up” so that “when we have good candidates to run against them that they are ready for the burning at the stake.”

Rep. Lawrence will replace the council seat held by the late Rep. John Lewis.
U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence (MI-14) was appointed March 4 by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to serve on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council.
Lawrence, founder and co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Black-Jewish Relations, will replace the council seat held by the late civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis.
The council was established by Congress in 1980 to lead the nation in commemorating the Holocaust and to raise private funds to construct the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
Once the Museum opened in 1993, the council became the governing board of trustees of the museum, an independent establishment of the government operating as a public-private partnership that receives some federal funding to support operations of the museum building.
