Speak-Up About: Fire Works in Michigan

Save the Children the Economy is Already Lost!

It is predicted that the sales of Fire Works in Michigan will increase much needed revenue to help the state out of its economical state. Is it worth the danger that will be imploded on the young people? Many accidents will happen and loss of life can even be expected. When will we start issuing guns for target practice to eight year old children? They may need to know how to shoot after all soon they will want to join the military. The reasoning behind gaining revenue is not conclusive enough to put our children in harm's way. We all know that if the Fire Works is made available that children will get access and even some adults who could not normally get their hands on them will be trying to shoot off the things. Many accidents will happen increasing the amount of medical bills, emergency room visits, and even worth the death toll.

The police department has enough to keep down crime and prevent domestic fights
without having to control misuse of fireworks. Crime is on the rise and funds to keep enough police officers on duty to help protect us are nowhere to be found. Now we are adding an additional means for trouble that the police will have to take care of and be aware of that will only create more police calls. We can raise revenue in other ways without causing problems.

Let's face it we could raise the state tax a penny, put taxes on beverages, the brains in the state capitol should try to think of more ways to make money. Not ways to cause higher expenditures. We do not need to give out raises to politicians who are getting fat from all the extra perks and salaries. I wonder if the politicians had to work in order to make an income and do their political work at a much reduced rate with no perks how many would be interested in the job? We might actually get people who care about what happens to this country not what they can get from this country. Fireworks in Michigan should not be permitted is my opinion. Save the Children! Save the People!

  • Save our Children from harm should be our number one concern!
  • Bringing in extra revenue should not be at the risk of our children
  • Find other means of revenue do not put our children in harms way!
More accidents happen in the summertime because more dangerous objects are presented to our youth. Giving them fireworks is just like putting a gun in their hands at too early an age.
