16 Days to Victory!!!

Broken Promises Calendar: No Results from Governor Granholm

PROMISE: “A Granholm-Cherry Administration will demand full public disclosure of the names of those paying for election-time ‘issue ads’” (Blueprint for Michigan, pg. 29, September 2002).

RESULT: As you read this, Granholm’s Democratic Party is spending millions of dollars to run issue ads on her behalf. The donors paying for these ads are secret and the public will never know where this money comes from. Granholm has been silent.

The newspaper editorial board endorsements are in. Dick DeVos has been endorsed by The Detroit News, Grand Rapids Press and the Oakland Press. Jennifer Granholm received the endorsements of the Detroit Free Press, Lansing State Journal and Saginaw News. Granholm’s endorsements seemed to be based on letting her “work her plan”…I guess four years hasn’t been enough, and they’re ready to be “blown away”?!?

Saturday was our biggest day yet making phone calls and knocking on doors. We started the day with Dick DeVos doing a conference call with volunteers at Victory Centers statewide. Yesterday was Dick’s 51st birthday and we wanted to deliver a record breaking 51,000 contact day as a fun birthday present…still too early to tell, but we’ve been averaging over 25,000 a day…so we’ll know later today.

Lawn signs and general campaign activity was in full swings. I drove by my church and noticed an “event” going on yesterday afternoon. So I dropped off some lawn signs at the side door and several folks did pick them up on the way out. I also got a friend to put a bumper sticker on his car. Every little bit helps, this is a cumulative effort…so get creative and join in the fun! OK, maybe not so fun, but it’s for the cause!!!

Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman will be joining us on our Monday evening conference call. I would just like to remind all State Committee members and County Chairs to join us on the call.

Despite the media hype, an examination of all the facts make it clear: the Republican base is active and engaged. No matter how your measure it – whether by record-breaking fundraising, unpercendented volunteerism, or scientific polling – the numbers show that Republicans understand the importance of the choice we all face on November 7.

We are having record volunteer activities across the state…making more phone calls, knocking on more doors and getting more signs out than any previous election.

And in Michigan…we are on the offense – planning and working towards victory!

Michigan PBS stations will re-broadcast the U.S. Senate debate this Sunday evening at 7:00 pm. Mike Bouchard did an awesome job taking Debbie Stabenow to task for her lack of results. Once you watch this debate, it’s clear why Stabenow doesn’t want to debate Bouchard….Mike “cleaned her clock”.

Absolutely a great ad. The Republican Governors Association started running this ad yesterday in Michigan. It’s funny, it’s different but it hits all the key points right on the head. Please watch it and then share it with you friends.

Michigan Republicans last night became the FIRST state in the country to make over 2,000,000 voter contacts. As of last week’s RNC report to state chairman, only 5 states had broke the 1,000,000 mark. Thanks to your efforts and the thousands of volunteers statewide that are manning our 27 Victory Centers…Michigan Republicans will be better prepared than ever to implement our GOTV and 72 Hour program to insure a Republican victory.

We have Dick DeVos, Mike Bouchard, Terri Lynn Land and Mike Cox leading the ticket…you see them everywhere, working hard every day to take our Republican message to the voters of Michigan.

Thanks again for all you do!
