I've worked a long time in the UP and the people of Upper Michigan are good hearted GREAT people.

That's only the Lower Peninsula. To make sure the Upper Peninsula is not forgotten, state lawmaker Michael Lahti proposed legislation requiring that both be included on official publications that include an image or map. A state House committee unanimously approved the measure Tuesday.

The U.P. has nearly one-third of Michigan's land area but just 3 percent of its population. Some "Yoopers," as residents call themselves, felt slighted last year when a state-sponsored tourism commercial only showed the more populous Lower Peninsula. The television ad was later fixed.

People have also seen maps elsewhere that show the U.P. as part of Wisconsin or Canada -- or not at all."

If lower Michigan doesn't want them , we will. If we had to have a dem congressman, we would take Bart Stupak hands down over Steve Kagen. At least Stupak is against abortion.

On second thought why doesn't the UP tell the south to stick and create their own state!
