ROCKY HAS THE "IT" FACTOR
Rocky Raczkowski has all the attributes from life, business,military and political experiences that qualify him to be my next Congressman. But the one specialty that sets him apart from his opponent Gary Peters is the “it” or electability factor. This is not something a person can learn, you are born with it. Watch him in a crowd or at a townhall how he reaches out to the voters. Watch him at a parade how he criss-crosses the roads reaching out to the people. He listens, he talks to them, and always answers phone calls or letters. I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I’ve experienced it myself. I feel ,he truly cares about us, the folks in his district, he cares about our State and he deeply cares about our Country. When he says that he will work for us, I believe he literally means it.

AFTERTHOUGHTS ABOUT THE RACZKOWSKI/PETERS DEBATE
After reading numerous reports from local papers, blogs, and on social networks, there is no need to detail the debate again. Here are two of my favorite reports on the debate:
http://aconservativeteacher.blogspot.com/2010/09/9th-congressional-district-debate.html
http://detnews.com/article/20100928/MIVIEW/100928001/Debate--Rock--em--sock--em
Prior to the debate there was a rally outside with supporters from both sides in attendance. The Peters crowd ALL had the exact same sign, as all dems always do - no originality and which indicates to me that these folks are brought in and handed their signs. Maybe they are even paid to attend. Most of them were "kids", at most college freshmen. It was obvious the way they were jumping and dancing that they really didn't understand the seriousness in which they were getting themselves involved in.
In contrast, Rocky's crowd sported mostly mature adults, many with homemade signs, neatly dressed and respectfully cheering Rocky's name. One slogan comes to mind that originated in Rocky's crowd: Rocky works for us, Peters works for Pelosi.
The rain got worse and we ventured inside the auditorium and waited for the debate to begin. The questioning panel were from the Oakland Press, namely Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Adler and a lady whose name I don't remember. This is where it became interesting. The moderator announced that the audience was allowed to applaud even before the debate was over. The Peters crowd got loud, noisy and somewhat rowdy at times as a result of this. While Rocky's supporters were accused in the Newspapers of being loud and insulting, that is not true.
The questioning was biased at times, with Rocky getting 3/4 of the time to respond and he was often interrupted by both Gary Peters and the panel, always referring back to the frivolous lawsuit or other non-issue items. At the same time, Rocky tried to get back to the issues at hand, trying to put Peters on the spot on his vote for healthcare and cap and trade. The panel also let Peters get away with completely answering the questions. The amnesty question comes to mind. While Peters and Rocky agree on securing the border, they never made Peters answer the amnesty issue.
Rocky was toe to toe with Peters and often got to Peters which showed in his red face At one point he lost his composure and started yelling at Rocky that he doesn't know what he is talking about. That is not how I want to see my congressman behave.
Rocky will be a superior statesman and he will work for us.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GARY PETERS IS EMERGING
Suddenly there are more and more comments and blogs surfacing about Congressman Gary Peters. While I have posted numerous myself on this blog, I am now posting links to several that are of great interest and don't just talk about his biggest bad vote, namely Obamacare, but this takes us into various other leftist areas.

ROCKY LEADS IN FIRST GENERAL ELECTION POLL
Independent Polling Shows Incumbent Peters Trailing
Birmingham, MI - The Kelly Rossman Group, an Lansing based firm, issued tracking poll results in the 9th Congressional District today showing challenger Rocky Raczkowski up on Incumbent Congressman Gary Peters.

Birmingham, MI - The Kelly Rossman Group, an Lansing based firm, issued tracking poll results in the 9th Congressional District today showing challenger Rocky Raczkowski up on Incumbent Congressman Gary Peters.
The automated poll conducted September 13th showed Raczkowski with 45 percent, Peters with 40.7 percent and 10.3 percent undecided. The other four percent were divided among the Independent, Libertarian and Green Party candidates.
"This poll reflects the fact that Gary Peters says one thing and does another. From Obamacare to the stimulus to tax cuts, Gary says one thing to middle class families in Oakland County and then goes to Washington DC and votes the other way," Raczkowski said. “Voters want a candidate with a rock solid commitment to cut taxes and stop spending so our economy can start creating jobs again."
Peters voted for the $787 billion failed federal stimulus package, last year's healthcare bill known publicly as “Obama-care”, the Cap and Trade bill which would have raised taxes and harmed the Detroit area's auto industry and has recently flip-flopped on his long standing opposition to extending the 2001 and 2003 'across the board' tax cuts which are due to expire at the end of the year.
Rocky Raczkowski is the Republican nominee for Michigan's 9th Congressional District. Raczkowski is a Major in the U.S. Army Reserves who was awarded the bronze star for meritorious service during combat operations, a successful businessman, and former Majority Floor Leader of the Michigan House of Representatives.

MICHIGAN LOBBYIST ALSO DIRECTOR FOR IRAN POLICY COMMITTEE
Welday, candidate for MI’s 9th Congressional district recently lost all my respect when he came out with the most pathetic smear campaign and ads against his opponent Rocky Raczkowski, http://www.rockyworksforus.com/. Rocky is a recent veteran, serving 3 tours oversees against the war on terror, he’s a businessman and served 3 terms in the MI state house.
After seeing the repulsive ads I decided to come out and let the world know what I have found out about Welday. Here it goes:
After hours of research I have come to the conclusion that Paul Welday is sympathetic to the MEK. While he thinks they should be removed from the US terror list, I believe fundamentally they are radical islamists. In a letter to the Detroit Free Press, Welday explains his reason for this: http://irandemocratic.org/FeaturedArticles/070905DetroitFreePress.html
As a board member of the IPC (Iran Policy Committee) he further shows his interest and support of the Middle East and MEK. Here is an article that supports this and that he’s a board member of the IPC. http://www.allbusiness.com/government/government-bodies-offices-government/11761697-1.html
In this article he is further pushing his agenda, along with Gen Vallely who previously endorsed Welday. They are of like minds, making the endorsement easy and not meaningful. http://www.analyst-network.com/article.php?art_id=1366
While he was chief of staff for Joe Knollenberg in 1998, Knollenberg received contributions from the Food for Oil organization : http://www.usefulwork.com/shark/archives/001865.html
It was reported that in Oct 2004 Welday spoke to a Cair group. While the author of this article is credible and his source not always so, I have to rely on the author for having verified the report. http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2004/01/cair-accepted-as-mainstream
It is now said, that Cair is endorsing the building of a new Mosque at the 9/11 site. I would like to know if Welday is ok with that, too. http://marionalwaysrunin.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!4C50CAC721A0BA86!4477.entry
The founder of IPC is Raymond Tanter and his CV includes the CFR (akin to the Bilderbergs and other globalist groups) and the Woodrow Wilson Institute. http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Tanter_Raymond With connections like that, it makes me wonder where Welday might fit in there.
The IPC work looks all fine and dandy on the surface, but, what they are trying to do is the same thing our government did back with the Ayatollah Komeni and look how well that worked out. America should not be trying to work with the “lesser of two evil” factions in foreign countries to manuever things the way we want them..
During his lobbying years for Knollenberg, the following occurred:
“U.S. State Dept To Splurge on Persian Media: Iran-Syria Operations Group
On February 15, 2006, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asked Congress “to provide $75 million in emergency funding to step up pressure on the Iranian government.” If granted, the request would increase to $85 million the 2006 budget “to promote political change inside Iran,” up from $3.5 million last year. $50 million would be used to “significantly increase Farsi broadcasts into Iran, mainly satellite television broadcasting by the federal government and broadcasts of the U.S.-funded Radio Farda.” Another $5 million “will be aimed at reaching the Iranian public through the Internet and building independent Farsi television and radio stations.” $15 million “would go to Iranian labor groups, human rights activists and other groups, generally via … groups such as the National Endowment for Democracy,” Ewen MacAskill and Julian Borger reported February 16, 2006, in The Guardian (UK).” I’ve seen Condoleezza’s name linked thru some of the other Iranian-American groups also so will have to go back and check again. The circle keeps getting bigger and smaller at the same time. Here’s where I found this http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Iran
Just today I received a copy of a IRS form 990 which shows Welday as a Director for the IPC along with General Vallely and others you know of. The form shows no earnings to Welday, but indicates that he has workd for IPC 10 hours a week. This IRS form is from the year 2008.
I’m hoping that you agree with me that this is not what we are looking for in DC right now.

LOBBYIST-CANDIDATE SHOWS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM SPECIAL INTEREST
Who will the voters believe to be the conservative candidate? Who is looking to reap the benefits of a lobbyist in office?
Who is standing up for the voters in the 9th district and who is against them?
Paul Welday, lobbyist and businessman claims to be the conservative candidate. But when looking at the campaign finance reports, one wonders if he will really represent the voters in his district or will he be beholden to the many donors from whom he collected the majority of his contributions.
You can read and decide here for yourself.
Here are some interesting figures that show the difference between the campaigns
Andrew Raczkowski (R ) Paul Welday ®
Sector Total
Construction $1,000 vs $7,200
Energy/Nat Resource $2,300 vs $1,000
Finance/Insur/RealEst $3,000 vs $43,050
Health $2,050 vs $19,400
Lawyers & Lobbyists $1,800 vs $21,850
Transportation $1,500 vs $17,350
Misc Business $8,200 vs $11,364
Ideology/Single-Issue $29,048 vs $2,650
Other $15,050 vs $11,750
Rocky leads in contributions among the voters $29,048 to Welday's $2,650
Welday leads in the finance sectors $43,050 to Rocky's $3,950
Welday leads in the lawyers / lobbyists $21,850 to Rocky's $1,800.
All Info from Opensecrets.org.
This was just a small section of the entire finance reports to give the reader an idea what is happening here. The real conservative here is Rocky Raczkowski, the guy that wants to work for us here in Michigan's 9th Congressional District. Vote Rocky. www.rockyworksforus.com and visit here again as I will have more info coming.
Here are some more examples since my last report. While the columns are not properly lined, you will get the idea. Rocky is the left column, Welday the right one.
Health Professionals
2050 vs 16,650
Retired
14,100 vs 10,850
Real Estate
250 vs 16,000
In spite of all those numbers, Rocky is way ahead of Welday due to the generous contributions from the people, in fact Rocky even had more contributions than Gary Peters in the 2nd quarter.
Don't let the lies, rumors and smear campaign from the Welday camp distract you. Rocky is staying focused on the issues, so am I, so should all of us. After all, we need a winner to send to Washington in November.
