Officially, politicians are not supposed to campaign on the taxpayer's nickel.
But we all know that line is hard to draw. It's more a broad gray band than a bright white line.
But Mike Rogers has crossed it, in my book.
He now is sending emails to his Michigan constituents and asking their permission to put them on his campaign email list.
He writes, "As your Congressman, I’d like the opportunity to talk to you periodically about important political issues being debated as well as hear from you on things that are important to you."
Then he goes on to babble about his plan to keep Americans burning oil until there is none left or the price is $20 a gallon.
"Occasionally, I’d like to be able to talk to you through email updates on campaign issues and events. I hope you will find them informative and useful."
Where did he get these emails of constituents? Did they come from his office, from people who wrote him about issues? Inquiring minds want to know.

It would seem this kind of behavior is consistant from Rogers. Let's not forget he recently dimissed a letter of complaint about a video on this website from Arab anti-distrimation groups as politaly motivated because it arrived at his office on the Primary, Yet he had texpayers pay for his flyers advertising that same plan which arrived in voters mailboxes the very next day.
