<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">I have been member and supporter of RTL for over 30 years. Unfortunately I feel that RTL made a serious misjudgment in endorsing Mike Cox for governor.<span>  </span>I believe RTL allowed politics, polls and special interest groups to affect their choice, as several large organizations within two day period all endorsed Mike Cox, it was clearly orchestrated.<span>  </span>Pete Hoekstra, Mike Bouchard, Mike Cox, and Tom George have all been endorsed by RTL in past elections.<span>  </span>I believe the best course of action for RTL to have taken would have been to reject Rick Snyder as a RTL candidate and allow voters to make a choice between the other four candidates for Governor.<span>  </span>I served in the MI house for six of the eight years that Mike Cox was Attorney General, and without going into detail, I have great concerns about Mr. Cox.<span>  </span>He too often lets politics dictate his policies; instead of standing for that which he claims to believe.<span>  </span> </span></p>
