Just saw this from the pew research center.
Democrats say Obama should
Stand up to GOP 43 percent
Work with GOP 46 percent
Republicans say
Stand up to Obama 66 percent
work with Obama 29 percent
I being a "professional leftist" think we should stand up to GOP.
What do you all Think ?

In 2008 when the polls closed, Fox news, Glen Beck, the Hoch brothers Dick Armey and others began their get out the vote campaign for 2010. They were excellent campaigns and beat us soundly. WE must start our campaign for 2012 NOW!
Also we must get someone like Ed from the Ed show or Cenk from the internet on local radio on a daily basis. We must support this effort even if we have to provide it free to local stations. I believe this is how Rush started and over the years he has convinced many working class Americans that the reason for their economic woes is the people with even less than them are getting too much.
I was at various meetings in the last month prior to the election. Attending these meetings were mostly hard working middle class citizens. They would listen quietly to all comments being made, but when welfare and/or earned income credits were mentioned they would rise up in harmony to agree with the speaker. We must get the message out that our woes come because the top 1 percent are accumulating 80 percent of all wealth created not because of welfare or earned income credits.

Hi there,
I am working with folks at Sawmill Golf Course in Saginaw, Mi. To set up a fund raiser with a possible golf outing in the event. Have not firmed up a date yet. Would like to get an idea of how many would be attending and how many would want to play a round of golf at the beautiful Sawmill Golf Course.
If interested contact me at

Today's mail included a fund raising letter/survey from the DNC. Neat thing about it is, it has a section where we can enter comments or opinions. And of course a survey.
I answered the survey questions as best I could giving the President a Fair rating over all. My comments were as follows:
"I am still hoping for a change. The Sherrod situation was a shameful event for the White House. I feel like I have been let down. Elizabeth Warren is my "line in the sand."
In the donation section I wrote "Any extra money I can afford to donate is going to Jerry Campbell for Congress in Michigan's 4th district.

Dave Camp (R) Dow Chemical, has not been seen in Michigan for a lengthy time. After visiting his Midland office numerous times I gave up on any chance of a visual sighting of him.

Last night a lady sitting at the same table as me told me if I wanted to see him it would cost me $100. She explained it would be at one of them $100. a plate dinners.

Not currently having an extra $100 I was wondering if anyone out there has seen him anywhere Michigan? Does he ever come back for a visit ?

In any case if you are looking for a congressman that will be available to you, click on the link below and donate to Campbell for Congress.

Jerry Campbell has a new survey up on his site. Take the survey here http://jerrycampbell.org/page5.html
You have to check out his site as it has been updated. I really like the background music.

Every day I come here in general discussion and find someone complaining about the Dems we have running the country. They have sold us out etc.
Well Michigan DUers, here is your chance to do something. Vote for Virg Bernero. He is a DU type Democrat, not a DINO. So get out on primary day and vote him in.

In the meantime you may want to drop a dollar or two in an envelope and send it to:

Campbell for Congress
P.O. Box 5576
Saginaw, Mi
48603-5576

This guy is another DU type Dem and he needs our support.

Thank you,
Larry Benjamin, Treasurer Campbell for Congress

I am writing this as a request for support in throwing out the incumbent in this district.

Jerry Campbell is currently running for this seat which has been occupied by Dave Camp, a corporate pawn. Camp has held this seat for 20 years, how do you feel about what has taken place in Michigan for the past 20 years ?

If you are like Jerry and feel it is time for a change, please help us. We are all part of the OTHER 98 percent. We are a TRUE grass roots campaign, we do not have any billionaires buying us bus's to drive around the district.
It is currently just Jerry in his Jeep and me in my 10 year old chevy driving around the district. Trying to drum up support.

If you can would you drop a buck or two in an envelope and send it to"

Campbell for Congress
P.O. Box 5576
Saginaw, Mi
48603-5576
and after doing so send an email to all your friends in the district asking them to do the same.

If you can't spare a couple bucks and still want to help, send an email to either Jerry or me.
