"The weekend before the McCain campaign withdrew from Michigan, some state party volunteers learned that about 300,000 McCain-Palin literature pieces were sitting at the campaign's state office in Farmington Hills.  A phone call to the M-P regional director confirmed that MIGOP was sitting on the literature and refusing to release it to the county distribution points.  These volunteers quickly "phone-treed" other party volunteers throughout the state, and the entire group descended on the campaign office (complete with a rented delivery van) to pick up the literature and deliver it where it needed to go.  However, as the load-up was in progress, the volunteers were met by state party staffers who threatened the volunteers with all manner of legal and political consequences if they didn't cease and desist immediately.  I have no idea if that literature ever got to where it was supposed to go."
