McCormick's Primary Opponent Dredges Mud

New Boston, MI, July 30, 2010- A letter from a New Boston candidate to voters in the 23rd District is claiming that Matt McCormick does not have as good a voting record in local elections as his major opponent does.  The letter further indicates that the reason that the negative campaigning is taking place is due to robo-calls from a bogus Tea-Party group that were sullying the voting record of other republican candidates.

Matt McCormick was asked if he was behind the robo-calls in June and early July:

"I told the candidate's dad that I didn't have anything to do with the robo-calls and I even offered to help find out who was.  There are a bunch of these Democrat planted tea-party groups cropping up.  I figured it was one of them.  Shoot, I've been a tea-partier since the beginning and I realize that our name has been co-opted by Dems.  My buddy Chet Zarko helped to rip the lid off this liberal politicking."

"Apparently they know they're way behind and they're forgetting the Reagan 11th Commandment. Don't lie about other Republicans."

"It is a way for me to serve. It is only by the power of the vote and the exercise of the freedom of speech that voters and taxpayers can hold politicians to account for their actions. I want to serve the people of this area by listening to them and implementing their ideas. A majority of the citizens in this area are tired of being ignored."

"I believe in a limited government and the reliance on the greatness and strength of the people.  I think that you and I do a better job of raising our kids, handling the bills, getting exercise and living our lives to their fullest than the government does."
