Osceola County Democratic Party -Michigan

DAVE CAMP HAS ALWAYS VOTED WITH HIS VALUES IN MIND. PROTECT THE WEALTH OF MILLIONAIRES OVER HELPING THE MIDDLE CLASS. END MEDICARE AND MEDICAID BY TURNING THEM INTO VOUCHERS, MEANING YOU'LL PAY MORE OR WON'T HAVE THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE YOU HAD BEFORE UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD PRIVATE COVERAGE.
DID WE SAY THAT PRIVATE INSURERS DONATE EXTENSIVELY TO HIS CAMPAIGN COFFERS??? THEY DO.

WE CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW DAVE HAS NOT HELD A TOWN HALL MEETING FOR DECADES AND HAS RISEN TO A POSITION OF REAL POWER IN THE CONGRESS.
THERE'S A SAYING, "WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY". DAVE CAMP HAS CHOSEN TO TAKE THAT GREAT POWER BUT NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LOOKING OUT FOR HIS DISTRICT.

DEBRA FREIDELL WIRTH, AN ATTORNEY LIVING IN CLINTON COUNTY, DECIDED THAT DAVE CAMP NEEDED TO BE CHALLENGED.

SHE BELIEVES IN

THE PROMISE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS,

AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL,

COLLEGE LOANS THAT DON'T ADD TO THE NATIONAL DEBT BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING PAID OFF AND NOT BANKRUPTING GRADUATES OR THEIR PARENTS

STOPPING TAX CREDITS AND BREAKS FOR COMPANIES IMPORTING JOBS OVERSEAS.

REAL TAX RELIEF FOR MICHIGAN BUSINESSES AND THE MIDDLE CLASS

HOLDING WALL STREET ACCOUNTABLE FOR KILLING JOBS IN MICHIGAN.

THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE AS UNION MEMBERS

THE PROMISES MADE TO OUR  MILITARY VETERANS AND CURRENT SERVERS THAT THEY RECEIVE THE BENEFITS AND CARE THEY HAVE EARNED.

PRESERVING SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND STOPPING ATTACKS ON RETIREMENT INCOME. SENIOR CITIZENS ARE NOT WASHINGTON'S ATM

PRESERVING THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE, THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THEIR HEALTH CARE

IS THIS THE PERSON YOU'D LIKE REPRESENTING US IN CONGRESS?


DEBRA FREIDELL WIRTH FOR US CONGRESS!

IT'S TIME FOR DAVE CAMP TO GET OUT OF WASHINGTON.

Thank you to EVERYONE who signed or passed petitions for Deb Wirth.

And this is where we are today. Seniors are getting angry because Pat (Mr. Blue Suede Shoes)Boone is scaring them into believing Debbie Stabenow supports death panels and rationing of health care. Women believe that republicans really don't like them. A legislator in Georgia introduced a bill requiring women to give birth at 20 weeks because that's what cows horses and pigs do. And in Arizona, even thinking about sex means you're pregnant. Yes, the Arizona legislature rammed through a law  that defines pregnancy as two weeks before conception. Don't think about pregnancy in Arizona, because oops, Congratulations Mom to be!
Michigan is considering laws that would make it a requirement to have a legal investigation in the event of a miscarriage (because they're really a way to cover up an abortion) and women are just murdering babies left and right.
Rush Limbaugh doesn't get it about contraception and thinks that women who want contraception coverage are sluts and he (even scarier) wants them to post sex tapes online so he can judge them.The most popular conservative voice in American hates women (enjoys marriage. Is it number 4 or 5 now?) but loves Porn! There's true family values for you. Contraception is not Viagra. And when "Every Sperm is Sacred" bills are introduced, men get grumpy (seriously guys, read the Physician's Drug reference and you'll see there's more problems with Viagra than just the 4 hour one) claiming that's government overreach. REALLY?
The Congressional Budget Office has said even including the subsidies for small businesses and low income people we will save 50 million dollars on healthcare with the HCRA. That's $50,000,000.00's  (Count the zero's folks) And our citizens will be healthier and less worried about choosing between food or doctor bills.
Now in a three day marathon, a law that is not completely introduced (the requirement does not go into effect until 2014) the Supreme Court will decide the constitutionality of this law. Think courts aren't important? Think again.
