QUOTE OF THE DAY: If you like what Jennifer Granholm has done for Michigan, and what Kwame Kilpatrick is doing for Detroit, you’ll love what Barack Obama is going to do to America.
Update by an activist.
MORNING UPDATE:
SUPER SATURDAY A BIG SUCCESS…BUT ONLY START…folks continue to talk about how well our efforts went Saturday. But this was ONLY the start. Victory Centers are up and running statewide and we need your help and time. Please visit the Victory Center near you and join our Republican effort!
OBAMA TAKES McCAIN’S APPROACH… Obama Says Future Troop Levels In Iraq Are “Entirely Conditions-Based.” So much for his “anti war liberal” approach to Iraq and Afghanistan. See complete text below.
OBAMA…A RISK WE CAN’T AFFORD…since returning from vacation, I mean his campaign trip…or wait, he calls it “credential building” the spectacle continues. I backpacked through Europe in college and on my honeymoon…and probably got a much better feel for the people, politics, and what was happening than his staged campaign photo-ops.
OBAMA…WANTS TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF…but which policy will he pursue…on Jerusalem, on Iraq?… withdrawal or 50,000 residual troops?…on Afghanistan…withdrawal or a major new involvement of our troop?…on Iran, appeasement or not?…on Cuba?…on Chavez?…He CAN’T have it both ways on every issue. He will say anything to get elected…that’s very scary…very risky.
TALK RADIO 1400 AM…I’ve become a weekly guest on the Hughes Sullivan Show on WDTK-AM 1400, which is broadcast in metro Detroit every evening. I am scheduled to regularly appear Mondays and Fridays between 9:05-9:45 pm. Good, conservative talk radio. You can hear it online at http://wdtkam.townhall.com/
THE BIG SHOW…every Tuesday morning, Democrat State Chair Mark Brewer and I go head to head on WJIM with Michael Patrick Shiels, where we discuss the issues of the day. The Big Show is heard statewide on many local stations, and can be heard online at http://www.wjimam.com/article.asp?id=505870
CARD CHECK…Protect the workers’ right to a secret ballot. The vast majority (around 81%) of Americans believe that American workers have a right to have a secret ballot election before they are forced to join a union. Last year the House Democrats passed a bill that would strip American workers of the secret ballot. A new bill should be introduced reaffirming that right, and it should be brought up again and again until marginal Democrats are forced to vote with the American people against the union power structure. This, coming from a Teamster.

100 Days until Election Day
July 27, 2008
MORNING UPDATE:
SUPER SATURDAY A BIG SUCCESS…as Republicans statewide came out to various Victory Centers and county headquarters to kick off the campaign season. We had folks working the phones, others knocking on doors, delivering yard signs and literature statewide. Thanks to all who participated.
OBAMA…if the Europeans like him so much…shouldn’t we begin to worry…more?
MEDIA BIAS…FOR OBAMA…SHOCKING…The New York Times’ refusal to publish John McCain’s rebuttal to Barack Obama’s Iraq op-ed may be the most glaring example of liberal media bias I have ever seen. But true proof of widespread media bias requires one to follow an old journalism maxim: Follow the money.
Two hundred thirty-five journalists donated to Democrats, just 20 gave to Republicans - a margin greater than 10-to-1. An even greater disparity, 20-to-1, exists between the number of journalists who donated to Barack Obama and John McCain.
McCAIN NATION… Through the McCain Nation online headquarters you can create events, upload and invite your contacts, send out invitations, get maps and directions, and much more. Lets go Michigan; lets show them what we’ve got…more information below.
GOP TOOLBAR…download it, use it, it’s free…and every time you use the Yahoo search on a sponsored site, the Michigan Republicans pick up a contribution. See the details below.
