Dear Reader,
Thomas Jefferson was right.
No government ought to be without censors.
That’s why we founded Michigan Capitol Confidential — to dig into government activity, ask hard questions from the free-market perspective, share our findings and help citizens hold elected officials accountable.
With help from friends like you, we’ve uncovered everything from the SEIU dues skim to failed government spending on “green energy” companies to which Republican legislators voted against charter public schools. 
I don’t have to tell you that election years often lead to wildly exaggerated claims on both sides of the political aisle.
Minimum wage. The Detroit bankruptcy. Public school funding. Right to work.
All of these issues affect our individual and economic freedom, and all of them might be campaign issues in Michigan this year.
Will you consider a gift to Michigan Capitol Confidential today, so we can challenge irresponsible claims and hold candidates accountable? We don’t get involved in electioneering or endorse candidates – but we do get involved in giving you the facts.
All of our support comes from individuals like you who share our belief in the public’s right to know.
Because Thomas Jefferson was right.
Government needs the press to keep an eye on what’s happening.
Thank you for your consideration today.
