ARABIC, 3 FOR SPANISH</title><content type="html">Here is another boondugle between Granholm and Obama that has been hidden from us. We know that Obama recently promised billions to bring in arabic refugees, even though we can't afford it. But what we didn't know is that not only will we house them, clothe and school them, now we have to put up with yet another option when making our phone calls. When will we draw the line and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just received this info and will share the bulk with you:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;Muslim men are allowed to have as many as 4 wives. Many Muslims have immigrated into the U.S. and brought their 2-3- or 4 wives with them, but the U.S. does not allow multi marriages, so the man lists one wife as his, and signs the other 2 or 3 up as extended family on welfare and other free Government programs!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Michigan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;has the highest population of Muslims in the United States . When President Obama took office, the United States paid several millions of dollars to have a large number of Palestinians, (all Muslim), immigrated here from Palestine . Why? I have no idea. Do you? We don’t pay for other persons to immigrate here, and I’m sure that some of those Muslims moved into Michigan with the large current number of Muslims already established there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;So now in Michigan , when you call the Public Assistance office you are told to “Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Spanish, or Press 3 for Arabic”!&lt;br /&gt;
Every time you add a new language to an American program it requires an additional number of persons fluent in that language to process those persons who refuse to learn English in order to live here at an additional cost to the taxpayer! Why are we even allowing persons to immigrate here who cannot provide for themselves and putting them in our welfare system?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat repeat;"&gt;Press 3 for Arabic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;This is quite alarming!!! This seems to have happened clandestinely, for, as far as I know, no public announcement or opportunity to vote on this was offered to the American people. They're just adopting an official stance and very likely using tax-payer money for it, in various capacities, without public knowledge or approval.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The following link takes you into the State of Michigan Public Assistance page, (as in Food Stamps etc). You won't have to scroll far before you see the assistance-letters options for...(get this).....&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;En&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;glish, Spanish, and ARABIC !!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When did the ARABIC option sneak into our culture? Will we soon have to listen to our governmental offices, stores, and other venues offer us the option of "pressing 3 for ARABIC?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check it out for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Please inform every red-blooded American you know, that this is happening. It is outrageous! The camel's nose is literally now OFFICIALLY under the tent! I am afraid.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;YOUR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Oakland County Executive Committee met last night and elected new officers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW Oakland County Republican Party officers!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chair: Jim Thienel&lt;br /&gt;
Vice Chair: Angela Rivers&lt;br /&gt;
Secretary: Lauren Gervason&lt;br /&gt;
Treasurer: David Staudt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What a great team in place to move us forward and prepare for 2012!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jim’s multi-million dollar entrepreneurial business experience, vast knowledge of the party and people involved, his involvement in growing NORC to become the largest republican club in MI, and his tremendous behind the scenes efforts supporting successful candidates, certainly gives him the ability to lead us forward!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Angela’s marketing and image building background will help put a positive and strong face on our party! Her own campaign experience gives her first hand knowledge of what it takes to recruit and elect conservative candidates!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lauren’s long and successful record of fundraising for candidates such as Mitt Romney, Joe Knollenberg, and most recently Rick Snyder will help bring in much needed funds for our county party to win in 2012. She is a graduate of U of D law school and has worked for the OCRP in finance and fundraising prior to the Snyder campaign!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
David’s experience as our current treasurer ensures financial continuity at a critical time! He is also committed to upgrading the OCRP web presence and making it the number one webpage in the country! This is key to opening up the lines of communication between all of us!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new OCRP leadership stressed the importance of working together, providing transparency, building the grassroots, and welcoming the tea party efforts and ideas. They have an open door policy to each and every one of us. As Jim said last night, ‘don’t talk about me, talk to me’. He also said ‘ I have always let people know what I like and dislike and expect the same from all of you’. And if you know Jim, he couldn’t have said it any better and meant it more J.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope you are as excited as I am and are ready to work with and become an active part of the team. They will need our support in terms of manpower, ideas, and finances. It’s up to us to make sure they get it so OCRP is successful in 2012 and beyond!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;But after reading about this gentleman that has a urostomy bag and was humiliated to such a degree,&amp;nbsp; I now think we need to seriously take a stand on this.&amp;nbsp; Enough is enough.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This month Transportation Security Administration agents hauled aside a white, 61-year-old retired Lansing special ed schoolteacher bound for Orlando from Metro Detroit airport and — in a rough pat-down — broke the bladder cancer survivor's urostomy bag. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"I am a good American and I want safety for all passengers as much as the next person," Sawyer told MSNBC. "But if this country is going to sacrifice treating people like human beings in the name of safety, then we have already lost the war." &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editing God out of history distorts truth:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Ask any grade school kid who the Pilgrims were giving thanks to on the first Thanksgiving and I'll lay you three-to-one odds that the answer you get is, "the Indians." Public education is so obsessed with separation and so uncomfortable with discussions of religion that it has sanitized the unbreakable link between faith and America's founding. Now children are taught that the Pilgrims set the first Thanksgiving dinner for the Native Americans who helped keep them alive during their first harsh year in the New World. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is more than just a small distortion in the name of political correctness. And it's not one of those Merry Christmas versus Happy Holidays issues. Whether you're a believer or non-believer, you should be concerned that God is being written out of this nation's history because doing so will limit our understanding of who we are as a people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A H/T to A Conservative Teacher for the following blog expanding on Finley's thoughts:&lt;br /&gt;

I will never forget the video about kindergartners praising Obama.&amp;nbsp; We should all check out our children's books they bring home, especially those dealing with social studies or history.&amp;nbsp; It is a well known fact that many of those books are being altered and no longer teach the "real" history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it has come to my attention via email from a fellow patriot friend that one of our local parochial schools, Marion High, is now being indoctrinated as well with social justice.&amp;nbsp; Parents need to be made aware of that, especially if they have not been informed of those programs being launched in their school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following is an excerpt of what one mother of a Marion student wrote:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
".....&lt;em&gt; A couple of you already have your girls there and you may have heard about the "assembly" on Tuesday. Your daughters may or may not have told you about the assembly. You may or may not find it and it's contents offensive. To sum it up, I have never felt more outraged and undermined since my children began school. I am pleading with you and your fellow alums, if what I relay does not represent the Marian that formed you and that you so dearly love and want to embrace for your daughters, to complain to the administration over what is going on.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In short, an assembly took place without parents' knowledge or permission which included "Bishop" Gumbleton, another priest who shared his views, and several "nuns" of the same ilk. The panel went on to preach to the kids for 90 minutes about the importance of "social justice", while reminding the kids that they are the future leaders of our society. (hint, hint, half of you will be voting in two years) Many of you probably know that the term "social justice" has been co-opted in the past several decades and it is a buzz word for socialism. The children were told they are not good Catholics if :&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;*they do not support socialized medicine&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;*they do not support all immigration. (there should be no such thing as illegal immigration)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;*they do not accept that Jesus' teachings tell us that everyone should live equally, not just equal opportunity (socialism)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;*they do not accept that people from all life styles should be respected. (gay rights)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;*they did not support the programs that are being offered to save the earth (hmmm, cap and trade??)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;They went on to demonize Glenn Beck and upheld MICHAEL MOORE (with a huge picture displayed) as some sort of person to be emulated. "Bishop" Gumbleton went on to say that he is called a communist, and that's okay with him because he knows that it means he is doing good work.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;My daughter, who has a wellformed conscience and has been brought up in an orthodox, Catholic home was physically shaking she was so upset, as were several of her friends. One courageous teacher left in disgust.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dana has endured four years of being chastised by teachers and teens alike for speaking against abortion and speaking out against President Obama's policy on abortion. Her current teacher has a large poster representing a group that is attempting to get school sanctioned permission to be formed. It is a large picture of a rainbow, it will be called the diversity group, and its intention is to support girls who are confused about their sexual identity. While this hasn't been sanctioned, YET, the teacher is all for it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;This is just a taste of what our $ has paid for. If you think there was nothing wrong with the messages imparted at the meeting were okay, then I accept your opinion and hope you can respect mine. If you find it wrong, please speak out to Sr. Lenore and let her know her brand of Catholicism is not what you are signing up for.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;I am meeting with Sr. Lenore on Monday to go express my outrage and suggest one more assemly before we let these impressionable ladies out into the college world. I am suggesting my favorite, concervative priest, Fr. Riccardo, Holy Name Alum and maybe a video from my favorite internationally respected, speaker/preacher Fr. John Corapi. (Fr. Corapi - google him if you don't know him- is the first person of the cloth to warn me and others to RUN from any church that begins preaching social justice) I'm sure it'll fall on death ears and the only thing that gets attention is money. Some outraged parents are considering meeting next week to see how we can best handle this.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Thank you for your time. I encourage you to forward this to as many people that may want to know what is going on at Marian, especially those who are contemplating entrusting their children to the school."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If&amp;nbsp; this last election has not yet left an impression on our teachers and union officials then it only tells me that the battle has just begun and we cannot sit idle and let this continue.&amp;nbsp; We all know what we have to do.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4182072762846617763-762492175121304836?l=rottitoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://scottyurb.blogspot.com/2010/11/coming-soon-to-ballot-near-you-part-i.html"&gt;http://scottyurb.blogspot.com/2010/11/coming-soon-to-ballot-near-you-part-i.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is in short the possible forecast for Gary Peters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Congressman Gary Peters originally sought to be Governor during the 2002 campaign, but dropped out because he diodn't have nearly enough support. He narrowly lost the race for Attorney General that year - the first Democrat to lose a race for that office in 50 years.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Gary Peters and Hansen Clarke: Re-election in 2012, then in 2014, one can run for Governor while the other runs for US Senate. (I'd be shocked if Carl Levin ran for another term in 2014.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Looks to me, the battle will continue.&amp;nbsp; I am still Gary Peters' nightmare.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4182072762846617763-868195162607033589?l=rottitoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Read below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peters and three other Dems got major heat for trying to cut more than $1 billion in spending that was added to the fiscal year 2011 budget because House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other Dem leaders had asked for deficit-reducing trims on the budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And all of the spending they were targeting wasn't requested by the White House; instead, it was spending added on at the request of Democrats during the appropriations process. According to The Hill, the cuts included "... $400 million for national infrastructure investment; $400 million for high speed rail development; $200 million in HOPE IV housing grants;&lt;strong&gt; and $22 million for housing assistance vouchers for disabled &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;veterans."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From The Detroit News: &lt;a href="http://apps.detnews.com/apps/blogs/dcblog/index.php?category=Michigan%20and%20Washington#ixzz150gCcsvh"&gt;http://apps.detnews.com/apps/blogs/dcblog/index.php?category=Michigan%20and%20Washington#ixzz150gCcsvh&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
In contrast, the Salvation Army is now coming to the aid of homeless veterans by breaking ground in the spring to provide housing to homeless veterans. The need for transitional housing is on the rise and the Salvation Army is investing $ 10.2 Million in Clinton Twn and Detroit. &lt;a href="http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20101111/SUB/311119995"&gt;http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20101111/SUB/311119995&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

But there were pockets where good conservative candidates lost their race. Kupiec in MI 5th, Flint area is one of them.&amp;nbsp; I've been informed by a poll worker there that voters came in asking for help how to vote. After an explanation was given, they would answer, that's not what we were told. They told us just to mark an X on the Democratic side.&amp;nbsp; After looking at the election results in Oakland County, I noticed that in some pockets, especially the Pontiac precincts, the vast majority of voters were also using the straight ticket method, that is without considering the unusual large amount of voters that came out in Pontiac. Who woke them up?&amp;nbsp; Where did they really come from?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just now I received information about some possible voter fraud having taken place in some Waterford precincts. This is part of the information I received, somewhat modified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"He was a poll watcher in Waterford and said there was fraud going on. He said that there were two precincts in a gym. He was watching 15 which was by the door and a Dem was watching (or running) 13 which was at the other end of the gym. People were coming in with SC drivers licenses and saying they had moved to MI. They were giving addresses that would put them in precinct 13. The person there was allowing them to vote with a "Challenge" written on the ballot, but was then just running the ballots through with all of the good ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He&amp;nbsp;said, &amp;nbsp;when he got there for the afternoon, no one had been watching the polls earlier. He said one of the poll watchers from a Tea Party&amp;nbsp;, left in tears at some point in the afternoon; someone had threatened to call 911, I guess, when she was challenging things.&amp;nbsp;He called the Republican help number and twice attorneys came in. I don't know what they did.&amp;nbsp;My friend&amp;nbsp;wanted to go to the clerk's office but didn't go when he heard that the clerk was a liberal Dem. If all of this was really happening, I don't know WHY something wasn't being done about it at the time."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If anyone has more info on these incidents, please post it here. We all need to learn and know what is going on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all the so-called training Poll watchers have received, this is troubling to me and seems it is an issue we all need to continue to work on.&amp;nbsp; We can work all we want to help get a candidate elected, but large amounts of voter fraud will turn against us.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The democratic machine targeted certain candidates, especially those that had to win questionable cities like Pontiac or Royal Oak, Flint where they find willing voters to do what they are told.&amp;nbsp; We have 24 months to learn our lesson.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4182072762846617763-6214611219555433503?l=rottitoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

A friend forward the follong stats to me and it is clear something is out of kilter with this picture.&amp;nbsp; There is nothing I can do about it, but think you will find it interesting as well. The following is a response to an Oakland Press article: &lt;a href="http://www.theoaklandpress.com/articles/2010/11/03/opinion/doc4cd1ae92f412b787973431.txt?viewmode=default"&gt;http://www.theoaklandpress.com/articles/2010/11/03/opinion/doc4cd1ae92f412b787973431.txt?viewmode=default&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rocky won the following cities by the following percentages:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bloomfield, 57.5%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oakland, 69%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orion, 59.5%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waterford, 52.4%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Southfield, 51.6%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Birmingham, 54.6%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bloomfield Hills, 63.9%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lake Angelus, 82.5%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orchard Lake, 65.5%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rochester, 58.1%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rochester Hills, 57.2%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sylvan Lake, 53.7%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Troy, 54.5%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is not representing the interests of those communities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rocky won more precincts around the district than did Gary Peters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gary Peters represents Pontiac, where he won by 87.6%, and had 7500 more votes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You take that one city out of the mix, and Rocky wins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And while it’s great that Peters wants to encourage small businesses to take on more debt, some of us would prefer to that he instead back off on the spending and stop incurring debt on our behalf. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the Oakland Press might believe that “memories are short” on the stimulus, perhaps they might consider how many decades – perhaps even generations – it will take to pay off that debt, or how many years will see our budgets be constrained because of the interest payments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is not “sour grapes” Peters campaign – while victorious – was dirty. Had he won by campaigning on any of the issues you listed here, then perhaps you might have a point. But he didn’t; he instead resorted to mudslinging and fearmongering. He should be ashamed of his ill-gotten victory.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4182072762846617763-6784958575003738654?l=rottitoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

In his bid to hold on to his first-term congressional seat in a race that’s been handicapped as one of the closest, most competitive in the nation, Mr. Peters is projecting himself to be the champion of Main Street and the tough watchdog protecting our interests against big banks, Wall Street and other assorted “sinister” outside influences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Mr. Peters is not as chaste as he would have you believe. Just in time for Halloween comes an expose &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/(http://www.propublica.org/article/new-democrat-coalition"&gt;(http://www.propublica.org/article/new-democrat-coalition&lt;/a&gt;) from the Pulitzer Prize-winning news organization, ProPublica that is ripping off his masquerade as the guardian of mainstream America against the excesses of greedy banks, Wall Street, Big Pharma and special interests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ProPublica published a blockbuster investigation of the 69 New Democrats, of which Peters is a member. The expose documents how the New Democrats have raked in millions from the very same “fat cat” lobbyists they decry in public and how they have wielded their congressional clout as payback, weakening important financial and consumer reforms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the past year and a half, New Democrats have pulled in more than $18 million in campaign contributions from their lobbyist fundraising network. The lobbyists, in turn, have mingled with lawmakers and their staffers at least 850 times during fundraising events and informal get-togethers,” ProPublica reports. In the past two years, since the start of the 2008 election cycle, the financial industry has donated $24.9 million to members of the New Democrats, according to a Business Week profile of the New Democrats. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34644156/ns/business-businessweekcom//.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peters himself has profited handsomely from his membership in the New Democrats, pulling in close to half of his PAC donations (from 1/1/2009 through 09/30/2010) from interests which also donated to the New Democrats. Peters and his New Democrat colleagues refused to be interviewed for the story, the reporters note.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the bidding of these special interests, according to the articles, the members of the New Democrats Coalition, several of whom, like Gary Peters, sit on the House Financial Services Committee, have watered down financial regulatory reform, fought to ensure that banks receiving TARP money didn’t have to trim executive bonuses and helped block a proposal to allow bankruptcy judges to adjust home mortgages — a move many experts say could have mitigated the wave of foreclosures. Records show The National Association of Realtors PAC donated more than $403,000 to the New Democrats according to ProPublica.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The New Democrats tapped Peters because he had the perfect resume, having made his living as a Wall Street insider with 23 years combined experience as an executive at Merrill Lynch and Paine Webber. But nowhere is this background to be found in Peters’ ads or on his campaign website where his focus paradoxically is “cracking down on Wall Street.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peters was also named as one of three House conferees selected to hammer out the final financial reform bill while the leadership of the New Democrats “worked behind the scenes to make sure the interests of the New Democrats and their allies were represented” ProPublica reported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both the ProPublica and Business Week accounts chronicle how the New Democrats also played a decisive role during the healthcare reform debate, delivering a win for Big Pharma and biotechnologies on a class of medicines called biologics used to treat cancer, anemia and arthritis. At stake was the period of patent protection during which cheaper generics would be prevented from competing. The biologics industry wanted to keep the patent window at 12 years; the Administration pressed for seven years following a Federal Trade Commission report concluding that the 12-year monopoly was “too long.” Ultimately, the New Democrats threw their “full weight” lobbying their party leadership and prevailed for Big Pharma, sliding through the 12-year patent protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The New Dems were also instrumental in shaping regulations for over-the-counter derivatives, the largely unregulated, complex financial products that were at the epicenter of the global financial meltdown. According to the Business Week report, a full-court press by the major investment banks and a consortium of businesses leaned hard on the New Democrats to ease up on the Administration’s insistence that derivates be moved to regulated trading platforms to prevent “reckless behavior on Wall Street.” The recommendations advanced by the New Dems “created a loophole that would allow risky and unregulated derivates trading” the head of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission warned, ProPublica reported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite pitched back-room dealing, the New Dems’ derivatives exemptions were scrapped in House/Senate conference. And while the New Dems didn’t produce for Wall Street as it had hoped on this particular issue, “the group helped make the overall bill more palatable to the financial industry by forcing concessions on multiple fronts,” ProPublica reports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, even though the New Democrats — including Gary Peters — “helped block or water down measures proposed by the White House and Democratic leaders, many of its members are receiving cash infusions and strong support from party institutions like the DCCC,” ProPublica explains. It’s no wonder that the DCCC has just dumped $497,000 in last minute advertising buys for Peters, making him among the top 10 recipients of the DCCC’s 11th-hour giving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is troubling indeed that Peters, who portrays himself as a crusader for “Main Street” against the excesses of “Wall Street” is himself compromised by these apparent conflicts of interest, as exposed by ProPublica. Mr. Peters needs to come clean to his constituency immediately about his role in the New Democrats bloc.&lt;br /&gt;

Independent Candidate Bob Gray Throws support to Rocky Raczkowski in 9th Congressional race &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2010electioninoaklandcounty.blogspot.com/2010/10/independent-gray-throws-support-to.html?spref=tw"&gt;http://2010electioninoaklandcounty.blogspot.com/2010/10/independent-gray-throws-support-to.html?spref=tw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following article/link about Gary Peters corrupt connection to Wall Street needs to go out immediately.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If any unsure voters are still out there, this will convince them that there is absolutely no integrety or honor in this man. He is totally out for himself and has no concern for the voters in his district.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Below&amp;nbsp;is an article to compliment this and also an opportunity to read the green with envy comment by Dan Farough, Peters' campaign handler. I always call him a handler, he is not what I would call a manager.&amp;nbsp; A manager would never act that slimy. &lt;br /&gt;

Make sure you read the protesting comments.&lt;br /&gt;

"I know firsthand how much it means when serving overseas and in hostile terrain to receive a care package, an encouraging note and the warm gratitude of pro-troop outfits exemplified by Move America Forward." &lt;br /&gt;
The primary focus of the Move America Forward PAC is to help war veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who are running for Congress and/or those candidates who will strongly support America’s troops before Congress, especially when it comes to winning the war against Al Qaeda and its allies. The organization also advocates for the elimination of excessive rules of engagement, which constrain our military and put them at an unfair advantage and expose them to greater risk in fighting the Taliban and Al Qaeda. &lt;br /&gt;
Rocky, the Republican seeking to unseat freshman Democrat Gary Peters, enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves at the age of 17. His 24 year military career includes two tours in the War on Terror, most recently in the Horn of Africa. Rocky was awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service during combat operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. &lt;br /&gt;
Slated to appear at the rally are former U.S. Navy SEAL Ben Smith who served in Iraq from 2000 – 2005, and Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee, whose son, Marc, was the first Navy SEAL to be killed in Iraq and who was awarded a Silver Star for valor, posthumously. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Washington- The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced today that Republican Andrew ‘Rocky’ Raczkowski (MI-09) has reached ‘Contender’ status as part of its Young Guns program. ‘Contender’ status is the second step in the three-level program, with Raczkowski now facing a new set of benchmarks to reach ‘Young Gun’ status in his bid to unseat Democrat lapdog Gary Peters. Since being elected in 2008, Peters has eagerly rubber-stamped his party’s reckless agenda that includes a trillion-dollar stimulus, a job-killing cap-and-trade bill and a disastrous healthcare takeover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Founded in the 2007-2008 election cycle by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Young Guns program is a member-driven organization dedicated to electing open-seat and challenger candidates nationwide. By achieving ‘Contender’ status, Raczkowski has already proven his ability to build a successful campaign structure and achieve vital fundraising goals.&lt;br /&gt;
“Rocky Raczkowski has already proven that he will be a formidable candidate by meeting the Young Guns program’s rigorous goals and is well on his way to building a winning campaign that will put this seat in the Republican column,” said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX). “Rocky is part of a strong pool of candidates who are frustrated with the Democrat majority’s agenda of more spending and less jobs and aren’t willing to stand by any longer. His campaign has put Gary Peters on notice that Americans are ready to turn the page on the failed experiment known as the Obama-Pelosi agenda.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With business, military, and community involvement serving as the cornerstones for his campaign, Andrew Raczkowski has the experience and enthusiasm needed to help carry his constituents’ interests to Washington. Elected in 1996 to the Michigan House of Representatives, Raczkowski soon climbed the ranks and in 1998, became the youngest Majority Floor Leader in the nation. Prior to his public service, he volunteered in the U.S. Army Reserves and has completed several military tours with his most recent one ending just over a year ago in September 2009. Raczkowski also has extensive business experience, as he is the former Chairman and CEO of Star Tickets, a Michigan corporation that employs many Michigan residents, and also serves with the Chamber of Commerce, Optimists, Jaycees, ALS of Michigan and many other civic and charitable organizations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While already having achieved certain benchmarks to place him on the road to victory, Raczkowski now faces a new set of rigorous goals that will elevate him to the top level of the Young Guns program and help him build a competitive, effective and winning campaign. &lt;br /&gt;
