Michigan Update
Equal Junction loves new ideas and independent thinkers-we too believe they are the best vehicles for change and the cultivation of a better future for us all. Michigan needs new ideas, badly! It was just ranked by CEO’s as the 3rd worst state for businesses in the US. It is in more trouble than anyone wants/or is fully willing to admit. Except for Scott Withers and his Congressional Campaign, dedicated to doing just that, APPROACHING THE PROBLEMS WITH NEW IDEAS.
We’ve written about Wither’s campaign for Congress and now we hear news from the campaign that they, a grassroots campaign, have been approached by the democratic leadership in Michigan-Mark Brewer. Mr. Brewer within a minute of their first conversation requested that Mr. Wither’s DROP OUT of the race! WTF Dem’s! Stop hiding from the independent thinkers. Us Young Dem’s are supposed to be the independent thinkers and the patrons of bringing more people, while supporting diverse views to the table.
With an 34 year incumbent (Dale Kildee) the Democratic party should be supporting an open debate between it’s candidates as we enjoyed during the 2008 election. Currently, Michigan is in a free fall and Scott’s commitment to new industries, green technology, education, and a creative background is what this disenfranchised population needs. One of the reasons our party is taking so many hits form the far sides is we’re not acting like the progressives, we claim to be, within our own party. Rep Kildee has a weak record on everything, period. Ask anyone in Flint, MI if they feel their Congressman for 34 years has been there for them? When we first met Scott he asked us, with family ties through out the Midwest, “Has Mid-Michigan gotten any better?” It certainly is not going to get any better if the same people continue to run Michigan in the same way. Check back to EqualJunction later when the press release goes out.
