Friends,
We are proud to announce that Rand Paul has endorsed Kerry's candidacy!  Please read Senator Paul's endorsement and donate today.
Dear Patriot,
I am proud to endorse Kerry Bentivolio for the House of Representatives and I hope you will join me by helping him today.
A veteran, Kerry Bentivolio is still fighting a battle to defend the Constitution. This time it is against both the progressives in Michigan that support President Obama's wasteful spending and big government and his own party's elites who believe they should be allowed to handpick a successor to Thaddeus McCotter. Instead of supporting the only Republican on the ballot, the establishment GOP has chosen to run a write-in campaign in favor of a person who authored some of the worst tax legislation in Michigan's history. 
Kerry Bentivolio is ready to start taking on big spending Republicans who claim to be conservatives but don’t really act like it. He’s running to represent Michigan's 11th District and he needs our help.
We need conservative leaders who truly want to change the way business is done in Washington. That’s the kind of person Kerry Bentivolio is. He's already promised to propose an amendment to the Constitution that bans the Obamacare tax mandate as his first action in Congress. Kerry Bentivolio is tough, principled, and ready to serve the people rather than special interests.
Kerry's establishment opponent is Nancy Cassis who wrote the Michigan Business Tax, a job-killing proposal that hurt Michigan's economy. We can send a message to the Republican establishment by sending a small government conservative to the House of Representatives like Kerry Bentivolio rather than their handpicked candidate.
Both parties helped put us on the path to a debt crisis by propping up big government spending.The race in Michigan's 11th District is a chance for the Tea Party to send a message to the Republican Party establishment. You are there to represent us!
I proudly endorse Kerry Bentivolio and ask you to join me in supporting him.
For America,
Rand Paul

PRESS RELEASE: MOVING AMERICA FORWARD ENDORSES ROCKY RACZKOWSKI

34122 Woodward Ave. Birmingham, MI 48009 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, October 14, 2010 CONTACT: Susan Emfinger, 248-556-4400 susane@rockyworksforus.com

NATION’S LARGEST PRO-TROOP GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION TO ENDORSE ROCKY RACZKOWSKI AT RALLY THIS SATURDAY (Birmingham, MI) –

Move America Forward, the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization, will lend the endorsement of its Freedom PAC to 9th Congressional Candidate Rocky Raczkowski this Saturday from 12 to 2 p.m. at a troop salute and veterans/military family rally at Shiawassee Park in Farmington, Mich.

"As a soldier, I am honored to have the endorsement of Move America Forward, whose mission work on behalf of our troops is near and dear to my heart," stated Rocky. "I know firsthand how much it means when serving overseas and in hostile terrain to receive a care package, an encouraging note and the warm gratitude of pro-troop outfits exemplified by Move America Forward."
The primary focus of the Move America Forward PAC is to help war veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who are running for Congress and/or those candidates who will strongly support America’s troops before Congress, especially when it comes to winning the war against Al Qaeda and its allies. The organization also advocates for the elimination of excessive rules of engagement, which constrain our military and put them at an unfair advantage and expose them to greater risk in fighting the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Rocky, the Republican seeking to unseat freshman Democrat Gary Peters, enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves at the age of 17. His 24 year military career includes two tours in the War on Terror, most recently in the Horn of Africa. Rocky was awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service during combat operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Slated to appear at the rally are former U.S. Navy SEAL Ben Smith who served in Iraq from 2000 – 2005, and Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee, whose son, Marc, was the first Navy SEAL to be killed in Iraq and who was awarded a Silver Star for valor, posthumously.

A GREAT DAY FOR ROCKY RACZKOWSI, CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS, MI 9TH DISTRICT

I was driving along I-75, heading to a last minute special event at Rocky's new campaign headquarters in Birmingham, listening to the Frank Beckman show. As I was wondering what the special event would be about, Frank introduced Senator Rick Santorum who was in town for the annual Reagan dinner as a speaker.  The senator told Frank that he already had endorsed Jay Riemersma (MI CD2)and Pete Hoekstra for Governor.  He was going to do some campaigning next for Rocky's campaign and endorse him.  So, the cat was out of the bag before I even got to the event.

At a great Birmingham location, people were just pouring in.  Standing room only, lots of excitement in the air. Finally, Rocky walked into the room with the Senator. I think I had goosebumps, Rocky actually introduced me and my husband to Senator Santorum and told him that I am with Icaucus. 

Santorum is an excellent speaker and got the crowd fired up about all current issues. He then proceeded talking about Rocky and what an excellent choice he will be for Michigan 9th with his State, Military and business experience. Watch here what else he had to say:


To top off this great day, the following was released :
A poll released today by Strategic National Consulting gives Rocky a substantial lead in the Republican primary to be held on August 3, 2010.

ROCKY 26%

Welday 15%

Undecided 59%

"The big undecided number makes me want to work even harder, reaching out to every voter in the district, said Rocky. "That's why we need your help even more to get the word out. So, please volunteer or make a contribution today. "
The survey used Interactive Voice Response to gather the views of 900 likely Republican primary voters and the margin of error is 3.25%.
All in all, a great day for Rocky and all of us in support of him.

Oh, and here is my favorite photo.
