The Michigan Chamber of Commerce has invited Glenn Beck to be the keynote speaker at its annual Future & Forum Annual Meeting.
The event will take place on September 15 on the campus of Miichigan State University at the University's conference and convention facility, the Kellog Center.
ANY KOSSACK WHO LIVES IN MICHIGAN NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION!
Write to the Chamber with your displeasure at inviting such a divisive figure to speak to its members. Here's their Staff directory. One person to focus on may be Amy Bahs, their Director of Marketing and events.

RILE UP THE CAMPUS DEMOCRATS AT MSU! They can take the forefront of any protests at the Kellog center and voicing of opposition to the University.

Anyone with a Michigan blog should post something as well. We need to get the word out. We only have a few days notice.
ADDENDUM: Glenn beck is an enemy of Auto Workers and lied about the UAW during GM's bankruptcy crisis. Lots of auto workers live in the mid Michigan area.
Let's let them know Beck is coming to town.
UPDATE: inspired by a commenter -- a suggested protest sign might be: "Glenn Beck -- YOU LIE!"
UPDATED AGAIN: Pay close attention to the list of the OTHER people speaking to the Chamber on that day. A veritable who's who of state GOP political candidates running for Governor and Attorney General. If they thought the Beck thing was going to go under the radar - they are in for a rude awakening.
