What Others Are Saying

Here's a mini-roundup of what others have said about Democrats in our part of Michigan in the last week, in case you missed it:

The Conservative Media has a nice piece on the Thursday (July 24, 2008) Livingston Press and Argus debate.

WHMI had great coverage of Bob Alexander's campaign kick-off event, Road Trip for Change, Thursday also.



"The Democratic challenger to Brighton Congressman Mike Rogers kicked off his campaign for office Thursday. 64-year old Bob Alexander, who ran unsuccessfully against Rogers in 2004, made stops in Ingham, Clinton, Shiawassee, Oakland, and Livingston Counties. He told a crowd of about 25 people at Bagels and Bites in Brighton he wants to bring new jobs, renewable energy and better health care coverage to Michigan. He also spoke of his commitment to being fiscally responsible and getting through the foreclosure crisis. Alexander tells WHMI he realizes he’s headed into an uphill battle in squaring off with the republican incumbent, but says when going door to door people have expressed their frustration to him about current leaders; giving him confidence local residents are ready for a change. Alexander has an active teaching background at the K-12 and college level and has served in the Peace Corps. He currently owns and operates Alexander Consultants L.L.C., a governmental and business management consulting firm in East Lansing."

Great picture of Bob. A well-done event by Bob's campaign.

And the Livingston Press and Argus mentioned our write-in candidates in a sidebar in Sunday's editions.
