Dan Benishek: Of The People, By The People

New Ad and Money Bomb

We are getting down to the wire here and a candidate who can win needs our help. Dan Benishek is running in MI-1 for the seat that Bart Stupak is vacating. Y’all remember Bart Stupak, right? The man who proved that the myth of the Pro-Life Democrat is just that; a myth. He disgustingly sold out the unborn, after promising not to, and voted for Obamacare. Then bravely ran away, in the form of retirement.

Dan Benishek is the man that can, and should, replace the cowardly Stupak. He has a money bomb going on right now; donation page can be found here. His latest ad, entitled “Get Us Back” shows why we need him to win:

Sarah Palin endorsed Dan Benishek earlier this month. At the time of her endorsement, she said this:

There’s a lot of talk about the race in Michigan’s 1st Congressional District.  Dr. Dan Benishek is the kind of commonsense voice we need in Washington to replace the retiring Bart Stupak. As a physician, he understands why Obamacare must be repealed and replaced with true health care reform. Dan is determined to work to get our country’s fiscal house in order. As a self-described “hunter and fisherman and proud member of the NRA,” he’s great for Michigan 1st District, which like Alaska, is home to outdoor enthusiasts who love their hunting and fishing.

She’s right. I’d only add that Dan Benishek “gets” it. The ad featured above? That ad was made by the grassroots. Specifically, it was created by our very own Ben Howe, whose recent trilogy of videos can be found here, here and here.

Dan Benishek doesn’t just talk the talk, you see. He’s fully engaged. He is truly of the people and by the people. He went to the grassroots to hear what they have to say. He put his trust in them. When the ad was released, this is what his campaign had to say:

At this critical moment of the campaign, Dan has put his trust in the grassroots to convey his commonsense conservative message.

This is not your typical campaign ad. It’s not all about Dan. It’s about the things that upset ordinary Americans and got them politically involved for the first time in their lives: too much spending; the bailouts; a growing debt; higher taxes; an out-of-control government that ignores the people.Dan will fight for you in Washington.

No, not typical at all. It’s not Washington as usual. It’s not the typical entitlement mentality. Dan Benishek is a man who will fight for, and with, We, The People. Let’s fight for him, too.

    If you are in Northern Lower Michigan, please be sure to attend Sunday’s rally in Petoskey. And Herman Cain will be there!

    He’s got the poeple’s hearts. But it’s union country, and they’re counting the votes. Dan needs your help.

    Lori, Thank you so much for supporting my campaign. And thanks as well to my blogging friends on the net around this wonderful country. As we go into this final week of the campaign my son Mick and I are on the road in Charlevoix in the motorhome in the parking lot of the GOP headquarters. It’s ten till two in the morning and we’re catching up on our email. It was a good day although the weather has been horrible. We left Munising this morning after a breakfast and radio interview and then spent the day in the Soo. We were escorted over the bridge because of high winds and have a week’s worth of events in front of us before heading home to vote.
    After having started this campaign in January against Mr.Stupak we have had an unbelievably wild ride through a tumultuous period in our American history. I am so proud of the people that I have met along the way who want to restore our country to the greatness we all know it can still have. I sincerely believe this is the most important election of my lifetime and thank you all again for the commitment to take our country back to the ideals of our founders. I humbly hope to be able to represent my district in the 112th Congress with these ideals foremost in my mind. My very best and kind regards. Sincerely, Dan
