Right to Life of Michigan

Today I received notice telling me that I would not be endorsed by Right to Life. I couldn't figure out why since my stances on life align with theirs. This is the only Litmus that I felt the need to fill out. I stand firm behind my beliefs on life.

One of my opponents did get the endorsement.

I called Right to Life PAC committee this morning to inquire about the decision.

Since there are 3 people running in my district and one is considered pro-choice, they will only endorse one candidate. While I met the criteria, they won't endorse me.

Let me be frank, I knew from the moment I walked into the interview that I wouldn't get the endorsement. 3 of the 5 interviewers belong to the Shiawassee County 912 committee. One of my opponents is an active member of this group.

Mr. Miller, from Right to Life, said that the PAC subcommittee ( the ones interviewing) made the recommendation. How convenient. This committee was not able to make an unbiased recommendation based on the relationship held with my opponent. They should have removed themselves from the vetting process.

The 9/12 commission, otherwise known as the Tea Party, has the same views that I embrace.

One of those are being honest, and not using the ladder based on who you know to get you elected. They want to get elected to make an honest change that benefits all.

Let me be clear, I do not blame this on my opponent. I just feel that it was done in a back door way.

This just further solidifies why I will not participate in the political functions from this point forward.

My only goal is to make sure our monies are spent wisely, there is more transparency and breaking up the good old boy network.
