This latest installment of the Rape of Detroit by the Hip-Hop Thug Kwame Kilpatrick is absolutely outrageous, and if it does not simply infuriate every taxpaying citizen within the city, well then you deserve exactly what you elected to a second term of theft and arrogance!

City police officers and fire fighters going door to door delivering information packets loaded with Kilpatrick propaganda, what an incredible, blatant misuse of city payroll and possible resources to produce, print, and assemble this nonsense. Starting with every citizen up to the city council, you need to demand to know who paid for this packet, who paid for the cd-rom, the paper, the bags. Who paid to have it produced, printed, and assembled, who paid to pack the bags, who loaded them, whose vehicles were used, and who paid for the gas.

How many citizens were left without protection while the officers who patrol their streets were going door to door on this errand for the Prince of Detroit? For every crime that took place without the protection of those officers the mayor should be charged as an accomplice for causation. How long was the response time for fire service since fire fighters were away from their posts on this errand? The Free Press just reported that fire chiefs complained they did not have enough staff for the stations that the mayor wants to rehab under his ridiculous stimulus package that stimulates just $15 million out of $300 million. If you suffered a fire loss during this time period because of a slow response time then you should sue the mayor's office for your deductible and the increase in your rate.

How much payroll was wasted today on a political errand, I do believe that is illegal to use city or county personel to do political errands, campaigning or canvassing. What is going to be next?

Hello, Governor Granholm, get off the bench and make a decision for once, show some leadership, show a spine to do something reguardless of your fear of the political backlash. Otherwise go back to Canada if you just want to be a spectator we have enough of those hear already.

The total oblivious nature to what is going on Detroit can be summed up by the City Council appearance on Monday by Barbara Rose-Collins, on national TV she shows up to chamber wearing a tiara because its hear birthday. I am all for being young at heart but at this particular time in Detroit's history it is really time for everyone to look and act like an adult in a position of responsibility, not like a ten year old on her way to a party at Chuck E. Cheese.

Please people, enough already!
