<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Once more before the MI Primary, <span>I will be supporting Pete Hoekstra for Governor<strong>.</strong></span><span>  I met Pete 18 years ago when he first ran for Congress.<span>  </span>He is not a political game board politician; he understands he was elected to represent the people, not himself.  Pete went to Washington with a fully formed political philosophy and value and belief system, which he has never compromised.  Pete has stood against a giant Federal Government Bureaucracy which wants to tax us more, control us more and take more of our freedoms away.  I have watched him carve out his own path doing what he believes was right, even if it went against his own party.  I respect him and I support him.<span>  </span>I believe he is a man of great integrity.   Pete is not afraid to publicly express his Christian beliefs, because he is not ashamed of them; he embraces them and is guided by them.  </span></span></span></p>

<p class="yiv1732039223MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Pete has been endorsed by business groups and individuals; including the Grand Rapids Chamber, Dr. James Dobson (Focus on the Family),<span>  </span>Mike Farris (Home School Legal Defense), and David Barton (WallBuilders), to name a few.<span>  </span>Those of you who are familiar with these individuals know they would not endorse any candidate unless they were the real thing.  </span></span></span></p>

<p class="yiv1732039223MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">No other candidate for Governor has a viable economic plan to turn this state around.  He also has the only viable taxation plan the Michigan Fair Tax Proposal (</span><a href="wlmailhtml:{E4F5AFD2-CB9C-4000-8D63-135FB5ADB003}mid://00000200/!x-usc:http://www.mifairtax.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.mifairtax.org</span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">), in which the numbers add up and can be substantiated.<span>  </span><span>  <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Contrary to the attack articles</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Pete has a 95% voting record over his 18 years in Congress, which very others could match, his a current session rate is 74%.<span>  </span></span></span>Mike Cox is spending his time and money negatively campaigning against Pete, instead of focusing on his own record and positions.  Candidates should run on their own records, positions and proposals, if they can’t do that, they don't belong in the race.</span></span></span></p>

<p class="yiv1732039223MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">If ever there was a time that Michigan needed a leader who had faith in God and not themselves, who will fight for people and against the ever growing state bureaucracy, who is not afraid to clearly state his position and let the chips fall where they may, who stands for life, the Judeo-Christian family model and the Biblical foundations on which this nation was founded, it is now.  </span></span></span></p>
