WHY WE HAVE TO RE-ELECT CONGRESSMAN KERRY BENTIVOLIO FOR MICHIGAN'S 11TH DISTRICT

Our Congressman is being primaried by an establishment chosen foreclosure lawyer that is literally trying to buy this election.  If anyone wants to keep the status quo they should vote for Dave Trott, but the real gem here is:
KERRY BENTIVOLIO FOR MICHGAN'S 11th District

In the HOUSE

Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations

He is an active participant in the investigation of the IRS targeting scandal & the State Department efforts to obstruct the investigation into Benghazi.

Such as THIS....

Kerry also serves on the Small Business Committee
Subcommittee on Investigations, Oversight and Regulations
Subcommittee on Contracting and Workforce

The following is some of his opponents bio:

-Foreclosure Attorney - has kicked several hundred thousand people out of their homes
-GOP Mega donor to moderate candidates
-Works on behalf of the bailed out Wall St. banks
-He has a war on veterans
-Endorsed by the largest Pro-Amnesty group in the country

Our opponent has made so much money from the bailed out Wall St. banks and his foreclosure work that he has the ability to pour in millions of dollars into his campaign to hide his past. In fact, he's already poured in 2.4 millions dollars in an attempt to buy this congressional seat.

He also was the first candidate to go negative and has been running a mud slinging campaign. The foreclosure attorney can't run on his own record so he is trying to distort Kerry's record.

If Kerry's opponent is elected, he will be another vote for amnesty in Congress.

We need your help to stop him today.

Please consider contributing $25, $50, $100, or $250 today so Kerry can keep up the fighting against Obamacare, amnesty, and the liberal agenda.

The election is just a few short weeks away.

THIS is what Rep. Kerry Bentivolio does in D.C. THIS is what Bentivolio does for “WE the PEOPLE”.

CARLY FIORINA IS NOT CONSERVATIVE

From the I-Caucus opposition research team:

Carly Fiorina’s ad characterizing Tom Campbell as a wolf in sheep’s clothing has, with the findings of recent days, become the epitome of hypocrisy. Mrs. Fiorina’s ties to the deep left and her position on boards of international organizations promoting ‘global governance’ provide lots of hard evidence that she is in fact that 'demon wolf'. As an example, Carly Fiorina is on the board of the Vital Voices Global Partnership, a very left-wing organization.
 According to http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/funderProfile.asp?fndid=5282 “Among the many leftist organizations funded by the Arca Foundation are…. Vital Voices Global Partnership” Also listed are The Tides Foundation and ACORN. She is also a board member of the World Economic Forum ( Soros, Andy Stern and Van Jones are contributors to those organizations) and has given talks in that forum pushing ‘social and economic progress’. However, the blatant hypocrisy pales in comparison to the cloaked left-http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.discoverthenetworks.org%2FfunderProfile.asp%3Ffndid%3D5282&h=0afb3

AN INVITATION TO JOIN INDEPENDENCE CAUCUS

I'm a member of the Independence Caucus (http://icaucus.ning.com/). We are an organization whose primary mission is to replace our compromised, fiscally irresponsible incumbents with good men and women who share our principles and values.

Every conservative group shares that same goal and we have something to offer the other groups that they cannot do for themselves or their members. We truly are the last-mile solution to get the job done. At Independence Caucus, we have five golden keys to help us accomplish this.

1) Independence Caucus has a well defined candidate vetting process which includes a set of 80 principle-based vetting questions, which we pose to all potential candidates for office. We believe that this is a job interview, and that the primary reason we have so many people in office who have not represented us well in the past is because we have not vetted them properly. The Independence Caucus members and partners for each area (comprised of people who are in that particular candidate’s voting district), must agree with at least a 70% majority, that the candidate is the right person to back before Independence Caucus will endorse that candidate.

2) We conduct specific research on incumbents to show the link to their voting records & earmarks, and which big money special interest groups have donated to their campaigns and how much they’ve donated (it’s a whole lot more than the media reports). We use that research to give our endorsed candidates an advantage in campaigning against that incumbent.

3) Our founders understand that “all politics is local” and they have a strong knowledge of how politics works down to a precinct level and understand what is needed to win campaigns. Their first win was Jason Chaffetz from Utah’s third Congressional district. Chaffetz is the Congressman who sleeps on his cot in his Washington office to save the tax payers money. Frank Anderson and Monte Bateman, the co-founders of Independence Caucus helped Chaffetz beat an incumbent Congressman while being outspent by 6:1.

4) We’ve identified 26 specific functional positions within a campaign that are needed in order to win and beat compromised incumbents who are owned by the big money special interest groups.

5) Finally, the Independence Caucus currently has programmers developing a powerful political social networking tool, which connects candidates to enthusiastic and motivated volunteers for their campaigns. This social networking tool contains all the tools a candidate needs to manage his/her campaign, as well as the tools and training volunteers need to be most effective in working for their chosen candidate.

We would like to partner with any and all groups as well as individuals who share our goals and would like to participate with us to use the tools we provide. Are you interested?

Thanks,

Rotti
