Dear RESIDENTS of State house DISTRICT 3 -
I would be deeply honored to represent the concerns of constituents in Dearborn regarding peace. Suffering is our concern, where ever it occurs. While a state representative does not deal with matters of national foreign policy, yet the plight of Palestinians needs to be better understood. In extreme times, many will embrace a cause of nationalism, a kind of loyalty which is virtuous in itself, but can tempt us into seeing others as enemies, less-than-human, or even evil, justifying whatever happens to them. This is demeaning to ourselves and therefore we must not be seduced by one cause, however worthy, into violence against the innocent. Insofar as the Israeli response to provocation, responding to terror with greater terror, is disproportionate, it is morally wrong, and should not be supported by our policy or our rhetoric.

Some will say that Palestinians have elected leaders who support terrorism; some may say that terrorists shield themselves by embedding themselves in hospitals, schools, and other targets that should be off limits in war. However terrorists by nature intimidate civilians into cooperation. I have no easy military solutions as to how to deal with such situations, but we should not fail to recognize the tragic position of civilians living in war zones.

There are matters more directly the concern of the State legislature to which I aspire to be your representative:

1) I oppose government interreference in traditional families. Current practice which regards a minor as having interests over and against the family is dysfunctional, depriving children of accountability and discipline in the home. School instruction which present alternate genders and deny the connection between sexuality and procreation should not be tolerated in our schools. The duty of men and women to reserve sexual gratification for the commitment of marriage needs to be taught for the public good.

2) With respect to business regulations, I favor far fewer government regulations and requirements. These discourage business and initiative. Government attempts to subsidize the economy has the effect of making local communities dependent on government largess. Detroit's decades of failure stems in great part from the unintended effect of such well-intended policies.

I am proud to be a part of the Michigan Republican Party, a diverse organization reflecting many viewpoints and interests. I would count it a great honor to represent Dearborn's Arab and Middle Eastern community in the Michigan statehouse and in the Republican Party.

Please share my words with all who may take interest. It is a privilege to share them with you, Neighbors!

Peace be upon you,

Dr. Richard Zeile, Republican Candidate for State Representative, District 3.

I am the 2024 Republican nominee for State Representative District 3 covering east Dearborn and a portion of Detroit's Warrendale. I am eager to attend civic events in the district, but also available to speak anywhere on political participation ("What I Learned in my [successful] run for state office"), and the interface of religion and politics ("The Believer in Politics"). Contact me (313.802.1146/[email protected]) if interested in either the campaign, or in arranging for a presentation/seminar/keynote, etc.

Today is my 46th Anniversary of marriage to my cherished bride, Barbara! Red & white roses and a VIP car wash followed by intense cleaning up of some of my own clutter is my agenda today. We will have a nice dinner out later in the week

Today I indulged in a little Birthday week excursion, spending a couple hours at the train show at Taylortown on Ecorse in Taylor. I picked up a steam locomotive, several rolling stock, and admired several pieces that were older or more expensive than me...

I am looking for two or three men to praise the Lord with me in a men's chorale. Call me at 313-802-1146 or via email at [email protected]. Put "chorale" on the subject line and I can send you a prospectus.

Just to let party friends know, I have become an election inspector (poll worker) and worked the last 2 elections in Ypsilanti and Dearborn Heights respectively to help ensure honest voting. I hope to work a Detroit precinct in 2024.

I have seen similar questionable "research" used repeatedly in Michigan political debate and particularly on the State Board fo Education.

Hanson points out that the same standard for Fox should be applied to other disingenuous media behavior.

This is an interesting connection between the right to bare arms and other civil rights for Blacks.

Don Lemon doesn’t know the history.

This story says a lot about the world in which we live.

MTG told Weingarten at a hearing that she is ‘not a mother.’ Democrats said her comment was ‘unacceptable.’
