With #Freedom, comes #Responsibility . It’s time we each did our part to take back our government! So, this week’s #GetInvolvedChallenge is to team up with friends, neighbors, those in your church, etc., to keep an eye on what’s happening at the local and state levels.
Fences, like the one built by the property owner in Matthew 21:33, are a recognized way of protecting ones land, but they also help us heed the instruction in Proverbs 25:17, “Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest he have his fill of you and hate you.” So, don’t let your municipality get away with imposing unlawful or unconstitutional fence ordinances!
This week, we discussed Fence & Ground Cover Ordinances & HOA Rules. To check the constitutionality of your ordinances, you must first find them! So, check out these #FreedomFightingTools:
We shared how an unconstitutional ordinance allowed a man to be kicked out of WI Village Turtle Lake, and how the Village Board chose to not only repeal this ordinance, but also reevaluate ALL ordinances to check for constitutionality. We now challenge you to THANK the Turtle Lake village board, AND urge your own city or town board to do the same check!

1 Thessalonians 5:12–13 tells us to “acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” So, we thank Prosecutor Kyle Butler for promptly sharing the MSP updates last week, but we also commend this WI community for proactively working to evaluate ALL of their ordinances for constitutionality! youtu.belpL9yN4as5RE
God tells us in 1 Corinthians 16:13 to “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” So, let’s all do our part to keep a watchful eye on our courts.

Press Release: August 3, 2022 Ottawa County loves freedom!
Ottawa Impact was built by the efforts of moms and dads, grandparents, hard working Americans, and business owners, who simply desired to have individual freedoms, parental rights, and American values protected in our county.
Our current county commissioners refused to listen and act in defense of these issues— core values to our people and to the Republican Party platform. When elected officials refuse to listen to the people and protect constitutional freedoms, they must be replaced.
The people of Ottawa County have worked tirelessly towards this day. The people have spoken, and overwhelmingly voted to replace those who ignored their freedoms, their parental rights, and their values.
RESULTS Ottawa Impact-Aligned County Commissioner Candidates – Republican Primary 2022
Jenni Shepherd-Kelley fought a valiant race in District 10 and worked to inform and activate her community in the Tri-Cities area. We have tremendous respect for her passion and conviction to defend her district. She lost by 618 votes in a heavy crossover area to progressive incumbent candidate Roger Bergman.
We are thankful for the support and efforts of thousands across Ottawa County. We welcome the voices of parents and courageous individuals as we work to restore freedom, parental rights, and American values in Ottawa County.
For Freedom & Family,
Joe Moss and Sylvia Rhodea |
If a man will not work, he should not eat (Thessalonians 3:10)
God reminds us that we need to be willing to work if we want to reap any rewards. (Such as in Thessalonians 3:10) So, as we talked about over the last two weeks, make sure you are doing the work to pay attention to what’s happening in your local and County levels of government. Stay informed, stay involved, and reap those just societal rewards.
On Wednesday, we challenged you to identify your county gov’t. For this week’s Freedom Fighting Tools, we are giving you resources to help you with this quest.

For this week’s Freedom Fighting Tools, I have something a little different for you. First, here are your 3 tools:
MI Residents – https://bsaonline.com/MunicipalDirectory – This link provides you with the full list of Cities, Townships, and Villages within each county.
FL & other residents – https://bsaonline.com/MunicipalDirectory – This link defaults to MI as the state, but you can change it in the top dropdown option, so you can see all the municipalities in your own state.
MI’s Charter Township Act – http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/mcl/pdf/mcl-act-359-of-1947.pdf
But, I also have 2 organizations / websites to warn you about. These two organizations often have misinformation, especially as it relates to the duties of government bodies & government officials and the rights of citizens. They often demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge or understanding about the US & MI Constitutions, so BE AWARE!

Find out when the next elections are in your state & city (likely primary elections), then find out which candidates & issues are on your next ballot. Identify which issues & candidates you support, and which you don’t. Do your homework – don’t guess or just take someone else’s word for it.

Ottawa County administrator finalist interview to be held in public
Following an extensive national search, a selection committee is recommending that the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners move forward with a familiar candidate, John Shay, for consideration as the next County Administrator. Shay is currently serving as the Interim County Administrator and has been in the role of Deputy County Administrator since 2018. As part of its regular meeting, the Board will be conducting a Public Interview Session on March 24 at 5PM with Shay. The interview will be held in the Board Room located at 12220 Fillmore Street in West Olive. The public is invited to submit potential interview questions via MIOttawa.org. On March 24, residents can watch the interview unfold live online or in person.
There were 36 applicants for the post of County Administrator. Four of those applicants were interviewed for the position. The selection committee for the County Administrator included outgoing Board Chair, Roger Bergman, current Board Chair, Matthew Fenske, and current Vice Chair, Allen Dannenberg plus citizen representative from each of the four county quadrants. Those individuals were Monica Verplank, northwest; Michelle Fare, southeast; Jose Gomez, northeast; and Jennifer Owens, southwest.
