"Group needs $1.5m to save Rosie the Riveter’s workplace" by Mike Householder | Associated Press March 29, 2014
DETROIT — A group trying to save the Detroit-area factory where Rosie the Riveter became an icon of American female empowerment during World War II said Friday that it must raise $1.5 million in little more than a month to save the site from being demolished.
I wonder how much it costs to demolish a Palestinian home.

Maybe, but amidst the hollowed-out city a war memorial is just what we need -- along with another world war.
Readers, I don't mean to be sexist, the the mind-manipulating reinforcement on so many levels is appalling. It's pushing the world war narrative (let's not this time); it's the equation of equal rights and liberation with war effort service (forget about the rape crisis in the military); it's another war worship icon supplying conventional myths; and lastly, I gue$$ $ome people have dough around here.
Those behind the Save the Bomber Plant campaign said they have raised $6.5 million of the $8 million they need by May 1 to buy the Willow Run Bomber Plant west of Detroit.
They want to convert the factory, where Rose Will Monroe and other workers built B-24 bombers, into a museum dedicated to aviation and the countless other Rosies who toiled at similar US plants to aid the war effort.
The group has received several extensions to acquire a portion of the plant, but the time has come to either raise the necessary money or see it relegated to the history books, said Dennis Norton, the president of the Michigan Aerospace Foundation and one of the leaders of the effort to save the plant.
‘‘They need an answer from us,’’ Norton said, referring to the trust set up to oversee properties owned by a prebankruptcy General Motors. ‘‘Demolition is underway, and they can’t stop demolishing the plant, then come back later.’’
Norton and his team want to separate and preserve 175,000 square feet of the Ypsilanti Township, Mich., site and convert it into a new, expanded home for the Yankee Air Museum, which would move from its current location less than 2 miles away. Included would be the iconic 150-foot-wide doors through which thousands of bombers left the plant to play their role in winning the war.
By committing mass atrocities and war crimes against the German and Japanese enemy.
The sad thing is, sitting here after 13 years of the 21st century, you realize that all the received history through the jew$meCIA propaganda machine and the Amerikan ejewkhazional $y$tem needs to be turned inside-out, upside-down, and backwards for the truth to be revealed.
I'm not saying the Nazis and Imperial Japan were the greatest guys, either; I'm just saying nothing that has been taught or told to me has been true. It's been some other $elf-$erving narrative for certain other $elect interests and tribes.
The plant where Monroe and her fellow workers labored is ‘‘one of the birthplaces of modern America,’’ campaign fund-raising consultant Michael Montgomery said.
How sad for the rest of the world.
What they not building drones there now?
He said that in addition to churning out a bomber every hour, workers of different races and sexes worked side-by-side for equal pay, an achievement acknowledged at a reconstituted Yankee Air Museum.
I $uppo$e all wars have their $ilver linings.
Unless WAR is GOOD!?!
Montgomery is ‘‘guardedly optimistic,’’ that the group can raise the rest of the money over the next few weeks, and Norton gave the group ‘‘a 75 percent chance of pulling it off.’’
Meetings with some major donor prospects have been scheduled, Montgomery said, and the campaign is hosting two public events over the next eight days designed to generate some cash as well as awareness.
An attempt will be made Saturday at the airport to set a new Guinness World Record for ‘‘The Most Rosie the Riveters in One Place.’’ The public is invited on April 5 to buff some historic bombers in preparation for the air show season.
I thought they were putting an end to those because of the crashes and costs.

"Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers not seeking reelection" by David Runk | Associated Press March 29, 2014
DETROIT — US Representative Mike Rogers of Michigan, who has taken on an increasingly sharp profile in Washington as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee in a time of widening global security crises, has decided to give up his seat in Congress for a career in broadcasting....
Do I even need to type it?
The 50-year-old established an impressive broadcast resume with regular appearances on nationally broadcast Sunday interview shows.
I'm soooooo glad I never watch those!
As international issues, incidents, and crises mounted in trouble spots ranging from North Korea and Iran to Syria and now Russia, Ukraine, and the Crimean Peninsula, his presence on the airwaves has been increasing.
Rogers’s face became even more familiar in recent months amid the burgeoning controversy over widespread telephone surveillance by the National Security Agency.
On that issue, Rogers took the middle road, saying he shared concerns about individual privacy but also understood the need for an increasing intelligence capacity in a time of persistent threats of terrorist attack.
A Rogers revision because this guy has been as hard-line as they come on spying!
So what does the NSA have on this guy to make him quit?
In recent months, he has worked closely with Democrats on intelligence issues, an unusual display of bipartisanship in a divided Congress.
Yeah, whatever. That whole $hit-$how fooley of parti$an$hip not flying anymore.

I'm glad he's leaving!
