MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz plans to speak at a GOP leadership gathering in Michigan in September.

The Michigan Republican Party announced Wednesday that the U.S. senator from Texas will attend the 31st Biennial Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.

In a statement, Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel says she is glad to “add another fresh and positive Republican perspective” to a “great lineup” at the meeting.

The party last week announced that another GOP presidential candidate, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, will speak at the conference scheduled for Sept. 18-20.

Other Republican speakers will be announced at a later date.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I would love to have seen the look on Ronna Romney McDaniel's face when she said it.

Actually seems a peculiar place for such an event. Not particularly “grassroots”, now is it?

No it isn't, neither is the "Broadmoor" in Colorado Springs which Ted will be @ this week.

Love to see him come to some of the Tea Party haunts in S.E. Michigan via his Bus. The Willow Run Tea Party Caucus would love to have him drop by the Blue Sky Diner and the Rattle with us folks would love to have him so up @ one of their meetings at the Cultural Center...

Mackinac Island is actually a great place. - Mackinac Center for the Advancement of Liberty and Opportunity does a lot in Michigan for Conservative Values in Michigan. It seems for it to be an oddity for it to take place on Mackinac Island at the Grand Hotel. But Mackinac Island is actually open year round, during the winter accessible by plane and snowmobile.

many doctors appointments have been achieved at the new Mackinac Straits Hospital.
