Blue-Collar Michigan Scholars 
The Only Poll that Matters is 
Our Vote 
In The
November 8, 2016 General Election Rap:
TV - Newspaper Polls, you know, Who's Up or Down in Presidential Horse Race reflect "Likely Voters" or Democrats and Republicans. Independent vote is key factor, also.
Still Early and Polls can Change.
One Way or Another.
Don't be Swayed 
One Way or Another.
Decide for Yourself.
If Views/News outlets are constantly negative on one candidate, don't throw your shoe at the TV screen (it's plastic, will bounce off anyway, and you might scuff one of your blue suede shoes.)
Great song, by the way.

Keep an open mind.
Look for the Opposing Views from many sources. 
Research. Research. Research.
C-SpanVideo.Org Video Library Search C-Span Video Search archive is cool.
Type in the 2016 Presidential Candidates names you are interested in. Array of Campaign Rally Speeches, talks...etc. will appear. 
One can search for a various array of educational matter on a range of subjects.
C-Span.Org Main Page  
Neutral.
All Sides. 
Balanced.
Non-Partisan.
Most 
Importantly...
No commercials!
C-Span's Video Archive search here, too.
Firstly, of course, visit the Presidential Candidates Official Websites. 
The Presidential Candidates also have Official Twitter, Facebook, Instagram...etc. social media sites.

Research.
We did it in school, college...etc. when we wrote our research papers. 
Or gave a speech in speech class.  
In debate.
Plain conversations... 
So we know what we're talkin' about.
Sports. Finance. New vehicle, appliances, healthy foods (read the nutrition label), what movie to rent or see. You get the drift.
Used many sources to learn.

TV wasn't our first resource, then.
TV isn't our first resource now.

Can one even imagine what it is like to run for President of The Great United States?
Thanks to all those Patriots that ran for US President over 240 years!
The least we can do is give all a fair hearing...then...
Vote!
Devote some time to research your upcoming vote.
Can't wait to read the books the candidates write after this historic election on November 8, 2016.
You, too?
Sweet! Check out the Official Presidential Candidates books that they, the Presidential Candidates, have written is one of many ways.
Use your Library card.
Support your local library.
Or buy a copy of the Presidential Candidates books.
Whatever works best for you.

Test your own opinions on the candidate(s).
Give all candidates a fair hearing...
in your mind.
Think.
This will be the Greatest Presidential Election Turnout in US History.
The New voters, Never-Voted...etc. are not showing in the polls for whatever reasons. Probably, hard to poll (understandable).
Anyhoo, with Record Turnout in States Presidential Primary Elections 2016, due to Independent - Outsider candidates within their own parties (Bernie Sanders, Democrat Independent - Donald Trump, Republican) and this being an Outsider/ Independent vs. Status Quo/ Establishment Election, another "Change" Election, the First being President Obama's Election, it is going to be interesting watching another Once In A Lifetime and Generation Presidential Election. 
Better Trade Deals (More American Jobs for Everybody) and National Security are Top Priority American Electorate Issues. 

Highly possible and probable...
Who is Strongest On and Can Deliver on More Michigan Jobs and All US Jobs, Better Trade Deals and National Security for America will be do extremely well in Popular Voting and Electoral Votes.
Especially in blue-collar swing state Michigan(16 electoral votes) and other battleground states like Ohio(18), Pennsylvania(20)...etc.
ONLY OPINION "POLL" THAT MATTERS IS...
YOURS.
VOTE!
Register to vote in Michigan by October 11, 2016.

Ross Perot Campaign Commercial 1992 C-Span Video 
Further on down the page are more Ross Perot Conversations - Lectures on The American Economy.
Mr. Perot utilized charts, graphs and other scholarly devices in his educational and informative economic conversations with the American electorate. 
Talks and lectures are greatly enhanced with visual media that is clear, 
concise, 
easily seen 
and 
easily understood. 
Simple 
But 
Effective. 
Memorable. 
Mr. Perot brought back memories of our school days' teachers and profs with his wonderful presentations. 
Classic.
We listened as Mr. Perot spoke.
Analyzed his economic charts, graphs, whiteboards.
We began to understand a complex subject.
The American Economy.
Where it was,
Where it is presently (1992)
Where it could be in the future.

In 2016, 
one wonders 
If 
Back in 1992..
If the TV screens were humongous (huge) then in 1992..
like they are now in 2016... 
High-definition, 
Digital sound...
Would Ross Perot's economic conversations paired with visuals (charts, graphs, whiteboards...etc.) have been even more effective, with a greater impact on the American Electorate...
with Today's TV Technology?
Could it be done again...
today?
Sointantly, Moe!

Great Job, Mr. Perot and thanks C-Span.

Blue Collar Michigan Scholars Walk A Mile In Our Red, White and Blue Collar Shoes Rap:
Since Global Trade (American Jobs Blue Collar, White Collar, heck, don't like labels howzabout the Red, White, and Blue American Collar Workers. E Pluribus Unum.) has directly affected US Manufacturing GDP. Think Manufacturing was 'bout 33 cents of every GDP dollar 30 years ago. Now, in 2016 Manufacturing GDP is just a few pennies over 10 cents now.
And the Trade Deficit has ballooned since then. Wonderful it's finally being talked about by a future President Trump or Clinton.
Seems alot of US have or know someone who has experienced plant and factory closures, downsizing...etc. Moi included.
We have an informed opinion since We worked in manufacturing in Michigan and other US States. Blue collared, white collared, all collared workers have experienced this.
When one hears on TV from the opinioned few about global trade, one wonders have they ever worked in a factory? As a production or skilled trades worker, supervisor, engineer...etc. Have they ever built, repaired skillfully, supervised, engineered...etc. something,anything in a shop factory or plant? See their job shipped out to another Country. Community property values drop? Pothole filled roads...etc. 
Give me and US a break!
Have they walked a mile in our shoes? If not, how in Sam's hill can they have an informed opinion? 
Give US A Break
Let's ask the opinionated few to tell us why they support trade deficits...deficits... that are approaching 800 billion American dollars a year. 
Hear crickets. 
Yup.
GIVE USA A BREAK!
Solution to sound of crickets.
Register to Vote in Michigan.
Vote for candidate that will deliver the greatest trade deals for America.
Fast.
We need the good payin jobs now.
Who is most believable they can deliver?
N.O.W. not later for the U.S.A.
Let's start getting to a free trade, smarter trade whatever trade word...trade surplus.
One can feel the smoother roads in our community, already.
Also, any one remember Presidential Candidate Ross Perot doing those economic infomercials about 25 yrs ago on Sunday nights. He lectured on trade deficits, budget deficits and other trade related and Nafta issues.
He held up large charts, diagrams to the TV viewing audience. 
Said Nafta would lead to the sucking sound of jobs leaving the US.
Amazing how he was right!
Would be wonderful if Mr. Trump, Mrs. Clinton...etc. could do a one-on-one with easily understandable and viewed charts,diagrams about Global Trade like Ross Perot. If they can't afford TV Perot like infomercial. Try You Tube, Facebook Twitter livestream, app...etc.

Politics 1 All the US Political Parties Page

Was watching C-Span this a.m. and they were talkin' 'bout third parties. Each US State has individual rules concerning placement of third partys on their state's ballots.
Also, they have broadcast and will be broadcasting some of the Third Party conventions. If you missed any convention, including Dem or GOP, there is video archive.
Also, 3rd party candidates have appeared on Cspan as have Republican and Democrat candidates.
Cspan United States Third Parties Videos History

This 2016 Presidential Election is about Change, in the Form of Dollars Earned from J.O.B.S Brought Back to America. Good Payin' Jobs...Manufacturing and all types of Jobs and Careers.

Talkin' Turkey and following through with solutions bringing back our Manufacturing Jobs and other jobs to Michigan and the rest of the US.
Jobs.

And while you're at it...
More jobs.
We want it all.
This is America.

Bar none.
We don't want a political bologna sandwich promises, anymore.
Real dollars in our paychecks, not...
Change.
PAYCHECKS WE CAN BELIEVE IN.
Again.
Like The Good Old Days!
Thank You.

In Michigan, and all through the US.
If there is any doubt, look to Senator Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump's Michigan Presidential Primary Election Campaigns. Both won their primary campaigns in Michigan and other states.
In blue collar battleground swing states like Michigan, Trade Deal issues are key along with national security and other extremely important issues.
The Independent vote; US voters who vote either/or Dem, GOP, third party up or down ticket. A political mix. Each election, looking not just at the party, but at the person and their beliefs, and voting accordingly.
Along with Traditional Democrat and Republican voters...
Determines the outcome of who wins the U.S. Presidency in 2016.
Turnout important and key.
People who regularly vote in all elections
First time voters.
Those who have never voted...etc.

This is a politically historic, change election in our great country, the U.S.A.
For whatever reason.
It is what it is.
This is an "outsiders" election.
Not "establishment".
Change is in the air.
Michigan's 16 electoral votes will be important in determining who is elected.
Take part in Michigan and our Country's Nov 8, 2016 General Election.
Vote for Who You Want To.
It's an American Right.
Your One Vote and Your Opinion is just as important as the cable views/news gentlemen and gentlewomen on the TV.
Do your own research.
Don't depend on TV.
It is just one source.
We have this thing called the internet...the WWW...World Wide Web...its accesible from your phone.
But you knew that.
Think
   about
             it.
We research every day of our lives.
We just don't think about it.
It's automatic.
Before we buy a new vehicle.
Home.
Buy appliances.
New smartphone, computer
Move into a new apartment.
Choose a school for the kids.
Buy a gift for our loved ones.
Choose a Dentist or Doctor or
A Hospital.
Look for a job...
to pay for all of the above.
We
take
the
time.
Isn't choosing the next President of the United States one of the most important things we as citizens can do for ourselves
and more importantly...
Our Country.
So...
Visit
First...drum roll again, please...
The candidate's Official websites!
The horse's mouth.
Their words.
What they said.
Uncut.
Not out of context.
What they believe in.
Watch their videos
Rallies.
Live streams.
Twitter.
Facebook.
Test your opinions with views from the other candidate(s) on specific issues and solutions important to you and your country.
Look at all sides.
Ponder.
Then decide.
Volunteer to help the candidate, party...etc. if you desire.
Most importantly...
Vote.

Also, check out
C-Span.
It's the bestest!

Since Michigan is Instrumental for Whom Will Win the Presidency 2016, Take the Time to Do Your Research on Where Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and other Presidential candidates Stand on the Issues - Positions Important to all Michiganders and Most Importantly, our Country.
Too easy to listen to the opinion makers on cable news.
Form your own opinions.
We were taught that in school, college, at home.
We decide.
One great place is (drum roll, please...)
the Official Presidential 2016 Campaign Websites! Gotta love the internet!
Official Donald Trump Issues Website

Official Donald Trump Positions Website

Official Hillary Clinton Issues Website

The candidates websites are the "Horse's Mouth" (old school term).
The correct information
Not parsed by opinion on Cable news TV.
They're making the big bucks speaking their opinions.
Their jobs didn't get outsourced.
Ours did.
We are the voters and we form our own opinions.
Our opinions are equally important.
Start at Square One...
The Candidates Websites.
Watch the candidates official videos of their rallies, speeches...etc. Visit their Twitter, Facebook and other social media pages.

C-Span is The Greatest Channel. Has all sides, and no commercials. Video archives. Call In Program called Washington Journal, and much, much more.
They rule when it comes to Presidential Election time.

You can navigate other countries Trading Goods and Services Imbalance or Balance with the United States of America.
Like Marty and Doc in
Back to the Future, in your mind's DeLorean (that was the vehicle in Back to the Future that went backwards or forwards in time)
do the same.
Your town, city, state.
Our great Country.
Then...US Manufacturing was over one-third of GDP.... Gross Domestic Product... with
Plentiful Good payin' jobs, Smooth roads, Social Security, Medicare and other citizen's  Federal, State, Local, services financial foundations beautifully funded because of the Number and Quality of Good Paying Manufacturing Jobs and the 7 or 8 other great jobs created upstream or downstream in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and all of our States.
Now...Manufacturing is barely over One-Tenth of GDP.
That's a huge drop.
Huge.

These trade deals have decimated some of our communities thanks to over 25 years of trade deficits with some major trading partners. Free trade is fine. If it's fair. And everyone plays by the rules...
and the rules are...
enforced.
Common sense:
Surplus good
Deficit bad.
We hear it all the time.
Our states have to balance their budgets.
The Federal gov't talks about balancing the budget.
Why hasn't the ever-lovin' Trade Deficit over the past decades been prioritized and resolved?
Not an economist,
however...
Common Sensically...
It's highly probable and possible
A Balanced Trade with all of our trading partners could manifest itself into the
Greatest Good-Payin' American Job Creator!
Everyone Wins...
Especially, the Good Old U.S.A.
That means Us, the citizens and future generations!
Finally, finally, finally there has been discussion in 2015 and 2016 Presidential Election about remedies to our Trade Imbalances.
Specific, Specific, Specific
Solutions.
Renegotiation, a better deal, new deal, strength at bargaining table, one by one country negotiation, tariffs, taxes, penalties, company incentives...etc.

Trade is one of the most important election campaign issues in Michigan (if not the most important). Who can get the J.O.B done quickly will Win the Hearts and Minds of Michigan voters...and will win Michigan's 16 electoral votes in 2016.
Count on it.
Where would a President Trump or President Clinton be on trade? What are Dem GOP nominees Trump Clinton fixes and solutions on Nafta, TTP, TTIP trade deals?

Whatever state they live in.

Michigan wants those Jobs, also.
And we can and will compete for them in Michigan
with our
Ready, Willing and Able workforce. Manufacturing is in our blood.
GM, Ford, Chrysler and other manufacturing workers and supporting industries and other various downstream-upstream jobs and careers in other Goods and Services Producers, Small and Big Businesses...etc. All Michigan's workforce, and it is a hard-workin' force to be reckoned with.

Big League Band Medicine Show.

The Everbody's have always realized, understood, the importance of Bringing Back Our Jobs Now, not later.

There is finally Music and Lyrics to it.
Dig it!

7. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! (Bringing Them Back Home To Mama and Papa) The Everybody's  Amazing lyrical ability is displayed in the song as it mentions 6 million jobs and 55,000 Manufacturing Plants lost since the Turn of the Century! Wow!


8. The Ballad of The Outsider vs. The Establishment (Rolling Stones meets Fleetwood Mac Vibe). Put on your headphones and read behind the lines, baby. Heavy lyrics. Best song on the LP! DVD of The Everybody's live concerts is unbelievable.
In key, and hittin' the right notes...
The harmony is amazin'.
Beatlesque!

The Everybody's Band is back, big time.
They're Gettin' in Tune. Not missing a beat.
On top of America's issues lyrically.
They Won't Get Fooled Again.
No more Young Man Blues.
It's about time.

The Everybody's drifted apart over the years.
Became apathetic to the music.
There were more important things in their everyday lives.
The music changed on them while they were away.
Music Jobs slowly drifted away...
and away.
They took other jobs. Had to move away.
It was hard on them and their families.

But vacations renew, re-inspire the human spirit.
The Everybody's had
time to ponder.
Contemplate.
Think.
About
What is really important.
For themselves.
But more importanty,
For their country.
It's future.
They became re-inspired.
To write.
To play.
The Everybody's got back on the music scene...
Like a Rock!
Writin' topically important song lyrics...songs that make you think, along with foot tappin' rhythms.

The Everybody's have created their own "Sgt. Peppers" pinnacle of success with "The Outsider vs. The Establishment" Lp.

The albums songs connect the dots on the American political scene 2016.

Common sense
Meets music.
Simply logical.
Easily understandable.
Perfect sense.

And as we all know...
There's No Place Like Home!

Why Manufacturing Matters!

American Flag Animated Gif


Imagine.
Just One Manufacturing Job Repatriated back to the United States provides a good paycheck for a person and their family. Spending creates consumption, you know, buying things. Creating more jobs for others (that 1 job becomes roughly 7 or 8 jobs in other areas of our economy, due to that one paycheck's expenditure. Strengthening small businesses, entrepreneurs, the backbone of our country) and their employees. Creating more work. More hiring. More jobs and More paychecks! Also, each paycheck pays into Social Security and Medicare, strengthening them for us and future citizens. When a person has a job, they feel good, positive and productive. The American Spirit is refreshed, revitalized and reinvigorated. Just One Job. What if Many Manufacturing Jobs were Brought Back?
Imagine.
