Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers.
Thank you to all workers—you are appreciated and are essential to our state and nation's strength, freedom, and leadership.
It is appropriate that our nation pays tribute to the contributions the American workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
Some history on this day:
Detroit’s first Labor Day celebration was on Aug. 16, 1884, according to Adelbert M. Dewey, one of the union pioneers and on June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday.
More than a century after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.
Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, an Irish-American cabinet maker and pioneer unionist, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, proposed a day dedicated to all who labor.
Others believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.
The form that the observance and celebration of Labor Day should take was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday — a street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families.
Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.
Again, THANK YOU to all those who labor day in and day out. The dedication of the American worker is what builds our nation. Let's persevere, let's draw the line behind us, not between us, let's continue to show our spirit and thrive.
"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men" - Colossians 3:23

From Conception…....
My husband and I have three children. Our third was our 10th pregnancy. I understand the pain of miscarriage and the
anxiety of years of waiting, wondering, hoping,
praying.
...to Natural Death
God blessed me with the strength and opportunity to care for my mother in my home, singing to her, praying with her and to her, loving and honoring her through her last breath. I wish that peace for all people and will do everything I can to ensure that all people, especially our seniors are honored and cared for at the highest level of dignity until the time determined by God.

I’m Emily Bauman and I am running for Michigan State Representative in the 16th District. That’s the cities of Wayne and the majority of Westland.
I am running because I have a core belief that if you don’t stand for something, you stand for nothing. I also believe that each of us is given gifts to make a positive impact in our world. At least every year, I take assessment of my gifts, talents and strengths to see how and where I can make an impact. This year, I saw preparation and opportunity come together to finally realize a goal and step into running for the position of State Representative for my neighbors in Michigan.
My husband, Bill, and I have been married for almost 24 years and have three children (20, 12, 9). We have lived in Westland since 2009 and in Michigan a total of 18 years, not consecutively. We are members of Peace Lutheran Church in Livonia.
I am a strong pro-life, families first, small government, pro-2nd amendment candidate, supporter of small-medium businesses. Three of my top campaign platforms are:
1) I will work for changes in mental health
a. I believe we need to look at the care of our mental health differently.
b. I believe a healthy mind and brain is vital to our all-over physical health.
c. I would like to see mental health as a ‘pro-active’ and preventative medicine.
2) I will support and improve opportunities for small business
a. I believe small business is what keeps our economy and families thriving.
b. I believe small businesses need opportunities to be successful, especially in their first five years.
c. I would like to see improved sustainability through education and assistance for businesses and their employees, encouraging them to start, to hire and to build long-term plans.
3) I will fight to support and maintain our liberties in the constitution (U.S. and Michigan)
a. I believe our forefathers built a solid foundation to our country and state.
b. I believe we all must know and understand what the constitution says and how it affects us.
c. I will uphold and defend our liberties written into our constitutions.
