What

The CAM 83 website is to help communicate to citizens of Michigan’s 83 Counties that a powerful outcry from issue groups, individual citizens and their concerns can be effective. The hope is to encourage and elect candidates that are compassionate, believe in science, and oppose the billionaires that the Trump administration is giving power to every day.

The April 5th demonstrations were a start. In Bay County, 28 people showed up. Others may have in other Michigan Counties, but we have no way of knowing.

And we need to communicate about future events.

That is why we need this website and an accompanying Face Book page.

In 1978, six people created The Lone Tree Council to oppose the Midland Nuclear Power Plant. It was being built in a floodplain and sinking. Eventually the work of many people (notably Mary Sinclair) convinced Michigan manufacturers that the cost of electricity from the mismanaged construction would be prohibitive and their pressure resulted in the cancellation of the plant.

Two of those six people are still involved and see the present crisis in Washington greater than that of the Midland Nuke plant for the people of Michigan.

Terry Miller and Patrick Race have decided that this CAM83 Website and the coming Facebook page can help build this needed movement.

Please join us now by planning to bring friends, relatives and neighbors to the second Wednesday of the month gatherings described in the When/Where sections below.

Why

Most people recognize the incompetence, cruelty and greed of the current Trump administration.

In the last weeks, many demonstrations and meetings have been held opposing the attacks of the administration and the chaos it has brought to the lives of Michigan citizens.

But often there is little, or no capture of participants’ contact information, or the number of issues raised by their resistance.

We need to build the leaders and the voters that could defeat Trump and his MAGA followers. And we need to be able communicate with citizens in each of the 83 counties in Michigan that share our feelings.

Though hundreds of non- profits are under attack by the Trump administration they are constrained by the restrictions that prohibit directly engaging in politics. But their members retain the right of every citizen (that is you) to speak and act politically.

So, this website will exist through Labor Day of this year to communicate to those interested. In August we will determine whether it continues or is absorbed into a different, more powerful communication structure or method.
