"If you are elected to any office in Michigan or running for an office from Township Supervisor, to Governor, including U.S. Senate and Congress I am calling on you to stop avoiding issues because you view them as too controversial.

I have contacted most of you about the Industrial Hemp issue and have yet to find one elected official in Michigan who will give a straightforward answer on your position on this issue.
Many of your constituents have told me you have ignored their requests for an answer also.
I have been told by some of you that the issue is "too controversial" and others have told me it is "too political."

Candidates for office have told me and other voters that you "would support it if someone else brings the issue to the forefront but will not publicly say so".
Another so called "Ron Paul Republican" told me yesterday "I will support Industrial Hemp but right now I have to deal with these Republicans so I can't openly say I support it."
Those were the exact words that person used.

It is shameful that you will spend endless hours researching an issue and filling out questionnaires from PAC's and lobbyists in order to get a few dollars or an endorsement but you refuse to do the same for the people you should be most accountable to, the voters.
If you are afraid to state your position on any issue no matter how controversial then you should not be in or seeking public office.
Cowards have no place in government service but it appears that is what we have in office and seeking office now.
