Prior to the 4th of July parade in Brighton, a friend told me she ran into Michigan 8the District Rep. Mike Rogers in Costco looking for people to march with him in the Brighton parade.
Hmmm.
This week, another friend (who wishes to remain anonymous) forwarded me a local Republican email saying that Rogers is looking for people to march with him in the Howell Melon Fest parade on Saturday (August 16, 2008).
Double hmmm.
This guy is a member of the Rogers family, which dominates Brighton-area politics. He is an incumbent member of Congress, well-known in the community, part of the Republican Party, which has thousands of supporters in the county.
And he is still looking for people to march with him in a parade less than 3 months before the election.
Too bad he can't dress up some of that hundreds of thousands of dollars he has raised and let the dollars march for him.

The chickens are coming home to roost on this one. Rogers has spent so much time zipping around the country becoming on of the GOP's top fund raisers he has neglected home, like on his recent minority NO, vote (6/24/08) over House Resolution 1252, which makes it illegal for gas stations to price gouge.
Is it any wonder he's scrambling. Unfortunately, the big war chest he has collected at our expense may be enough to carry him to victory again. I've been to parades, fairs and other public gatherings around the 8th district all summer with Bob Alexander (D) who is running against Rogers and I can tell you people are ready for a change. They are ready to vote Rogers out. This guy is beatable we just have to work together.
Well said.
