Vote Your Favorite – Ignore Attacks/Dirty Politics
We have some great candidates running for our statewide ticket. Unfortunately, there are those who are more than willing to launch a negative campaign against others and even worse, not sign their names to these attacks.
Support whomever you please…we are lucky to have a great crop of candidates and some real choices to make at this convention. Ignore the negative attacks, especially the unsigned garbage…if they work, we ALL lose.
GOP Takes Historic Lead in Generic Ballot
“The latest Gallup generic ballot test shows the Republicans leading the Democrats by the largest spread in the history of the generic ballot. Republicans lead by seven points — 50 percent to 43 percent. This also appears to be the first time Republicans have ever hit 50 percent in the history of the Gallup generic ballot.”
To put things into perspective, Democrats won 257 seats in 2008, and won the national vote by eleven points.
Rick Snyder for Governor
It’s nothing but good news about Rick’s campaign, but there is much to do. We need every Republican, Independent, Democrat and Tea Party vote we can pull together to help turn Michigan around.
As I travel our state, you can feel the excitement and commitment to turning a new page. We feel like we’ve been ‘blown away’ and are looking for ‘real change’ we can count on…and Rick’s in great position to lead that effort.
Join us and do your part…whatever it is. Every effort counts, every effort matters!

Join The Battle – RNC Launches “V1”
The RNC launched a new tool for activists and volunteers at GOP.com. It’s called Volunteer Match, and it’s a network that collects volunteer opportunities for this election cycle. That includes opportunities to volunteer for campaigns, state parties, and RNC Victory Centers. It lets you create your own profile and search for volunteer opportunities. It also lets you specify how you feel your skills would be best utilized, and connects you directly to organizations looking for help. Using Volunteer Match, you can search for opportunities in your area and find the ones that best suit you. Whether you’re looking to get involved on a national, state, or local level, Volunteer Match is the tool to make it happen.
The RNC built Volunteer Match so that you can make an impact. Volunteering is the surest way for you to make a difference this fall. And make no mistake: you are going to make the difference. You can start today by signing up for Volunteer Match, and then forwarding this email to two friends who you think are ready to help turn Michigan around…turn America around. http://volunteer.gop.com/
John Stossel’s Broken Window Fallacy -
The Fallacy that Govt Spending Creates Jobs?!?
A great analysis and explanation on why “government” work is little more than what economists call the “broken window fallacy”. Make shift work doesn’t create real jobs.

Yet another Soros tentacle exposed –
The Religious Left?!?
Sojourners revenues have more than tripled-from $1,601,171 in 2001-2002 to $5,283,650 in 2008-2009-as secular leftists have learned to use the religious left to elect Obama and others.

2nd Annual John Galt Freedom Fest in Ovid
It was a great afternoon of politics, beer and music in Ovid. I joined Tony DeMott of Campaign for Liberty, Scott Hagerstrom of Americans for Prosperity and others as we discussed politics and getting involved in the process. Planning for the 3rd Annual event is in the works…join us next year!
R.I.P. Pam Posthumus
