    Crunch Time For Hoogendyk

    Tags: Michigan, CD6, Fred Upton, Jack Hoogendyk, 10 reasons (all tags)

    Last minute blitzing being  planned for the Hoogendyk campaign, as he faces down one of the least conservative members of the Republican congressional delegation from Michigan.

    Saturday the 4th, be looking out for a motivated team participating in a door to door blitz.  In fact, be a part of that blitz and hang out with a great group of patriots having fun and actually doing something.  Questions? Contact Steve.

    In the meanwhile, its worth taking a look at these:


    Just a start.

    Tapayer Party Mel Valkner sends THIS out today to email boxes:

    "Re-election goes to those who have best served their constituents. That is not the case with Rep. Fred Upton. Like President Obama, he is out of touch.

    Here are ten reasons Fred Upton deserves to lose to Jack Hoogendyk in the Republican Primary August 7th:

    • Article II, Section 10 of the Michigan Constitution says, "No person shall be elected to office as representative in the United States House of Representatives more than three times during any twelve year period. Upton has been elected 13 straight times.
    • Last election he promoted a "Five-Point Jobs Plan" none of which have been implemented.
    • When he came to office the National Debt was $3.5 trillion, now it is nearly $16 trillion despite having a Republican President and Congress 50% of the time.
    • Upton voted for the $1 trillion TARP bailout, much of it going to big banks.
    • Upton voted to outlaw the ordinary incandescent light bulb.
    • Upton voted for "Cash for Clunkers," a wasteful spending bill that disastrously destroyed thousands of good used cars driving up prices by 25%.
    • Upton voted for NAFTA causing the loss of 400,000 high-paying Michigan jobs.
    • Upton voted for the federal education program "No Child Left Behind" destroying local authority of public schools.
    • Upton for the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, an unfunded federal healthcare plan leading to Obamacare.
    • Upton has lied about Jack Hoogendyk - so much for being a "nice guy." At least 10 negative mailers have been sent by Upton about Hoogendyk, none of which are true and full of distortions. Why trust someone who will not tell the truth, simply to win an election?

    Oh sure, he did a little good here and there but, overall, the harm he and his cohorts have inflicted will cost our children and grandchildren trillions of dollars over their lifetimes.

    In spite of all the above, Kalamazoo County Republican leaders including Margaret O'Brien and Tonya Schuitmaker are supporting Upton, contrary to their most vocal supporters that stood behind them in their last election - all for the sake of the "establishment."

    Ultimately you decide who will represent every district in the U.S. Congress. Everyone knows we can't keep going the way we are - so why would vote again for the same incumbents, in this case Fred Upton?

    Isn't it time to vote for the other guy and let him have a try to get us out of this mess?
    "

    No kidding.

    Stay involved people.

    ...but Mel's citation is tad over the top.

    Constitutionality: U.S. Supreme Court found that an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution prohibiting the name of an otherwise-eligible candidate for Congress from appearing on the ballot if that candidate had already served 3 terms in the House of Representatives and 2 terms in the Senate was in violation of the Federal Constitution. The Supreme Court held that: "(1) states may not impose qualifications for offices of the United States representative or United States senator in addition to those set forth by the Constitution; (2) power to set additional qualifications was not reserved to the states by the Tenth Amendment; and (3) state provision is unconstitutional when it has likely effect of handicapping a class of candidates and has sole purpose of creating additional qualifications indirectly." US Term Limits, Inc v Thornton, 514 US 779; 115 S Ct 1842; 131 L Ed 2d 884 (1995).

    Welcome to the Progressive world of RobertsCare decisions, and JenniRick Snydholm Exchanges.

    No doubt about it though... throwing Fred's Soros ♥ RINO club(until caught) founding ass out of the congresscritter roach motel in DC would go a long way towards remedying that.

    McKernan's wife, Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, remains on the Partnership's board along with Houghton. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Reps. Mike Castle of Delaware, Tom Davis of Virginia, Doug Ose of California and Fred Upton of Michigan also serve on the board.

    Other current directors of the two Main Street Funds are Sarah Chamberlain Resnick, the Partnership's executive director, and Bob Duke, previously a Partnership consultant. Resnick says she works on her own time as a paid "custodian of records and contact person" for the two Main Street Funds.

    Resnick said the members of Congress on the Partnership's board do not make fund-raising decisions for the two Main Street funds...

    ...Soros gave $50,000 to the Main Street Individual Fund in April 2002...Resnick said Soros also offered a "seven-figure contribution" to the policy side of the Republican Main Street Partnership, which promotes the "moderate Republican agenda."

    But she said the Partnership board "didn't care for any of his money at that point..."

    Oopsie's, Freddy.  Your RINO club's shyster staffer spilled the beans you.

    Pulling for ya big time, Jack!
