Here are a few shots from the Working America protest in front of the office of MI-07 Representative Tim Walberg yesterday. About 20 protesters showed up and they delivered over 400 buyers remorse cards.

Oh, for cryin’ out loud. I cannot believe this idiot is my representative in Washington, D.C. He apparently, has no clue what “religious” means and, guess what, he’s still a freaking birther. Walberg criticized President Obama for his approach to defending Israel, saying Obama, “doesn’t get it.” Invoking what he called “biblical history and imperative,” Walberg said, “I want God’s […]

From my friends at Working America: Working America members to hold lawmakers accountable for ignoring jobs crisis. On Thursday August 18th, Working America members and organizers will gather at a “Buyer’s Remorse” booth in Jackson, MI to accept “return” ballots from Michiganders who are disgusted with the broken promises of Rep. Walberg who told voters that he would focus on […]

You gotta figure it would take a guy like Tim Walberg (MI-07), who calls himself “The Original Tea Partier”, to say something as patently ridiculous as THIS: “This downgrade is the result of a history of failure in leadership and fiscal responsibility by the President,” Walberg, R-Tipton, said in a statement. “We have responded to the people’s call to action […]

Well, this is a disappointment. From an email I received from former MI-07 Congressman Mark Schauer this morning: I wanted to personally email you, before you heard it in the press, that I will not be a candidate for Congress in 2012. As you can imagine, with all the dysfunction in the Congress today, this was not an easy decision. […]

For the past 6 months, I’ve been predicting that the east side of Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, which includes Chelsea, Dexter, Scio Township and tiny bit of Ann Arbor, will get lumped in with Congressman John Dingell‘s 15th District during this year’s redistricting process. The Republicans in Michigan have the keys to pretty much every office involved in redistricting. With […]

Think Progress reported this past week that the so-called “Shutdown Caucus” expanded to seven members when Representative-elect Steve Womack (R-AR) joined their ranks. Some Republicans, like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, look back at the 1995 government shutdown debacle as a cautionary tale of the practical and political costs of shutting down the federal government. Others view it as a […]

Surprise, surprise, my representative here in MI-07, Tim Walberg, is already on the GOPocrisy train. The Jackson Citizen Patriot reported earlier this week that Tim Walberg will opt out of federal health-care coverage. But it’s a nice bit of bait and switch because — wait for it — he already RECEIVES state health-care coverage!!! “The question is — will they […]

This is why I and so many others worked sofa king hard for Congressman Mark Schauer’s campaign. He’s been named one of the People for the American Way‘s “Ten Scariest Republicans heading to Congress”. Tim Walberg, who is returning to the House next year after representing Michigan’s 7th district for one term from 2007-2009, brags that he “was a tea […]

Mark Schauer’s campaign for his MI-07 Congressional seat has their final ad of the 2010 election season out and it’s a good one. He hits Walberg hard for his party’s outsourcing stance and uses Walberg’s own words to make the point. Mark Schauer: Things are tough right now in Michigan, and there are no easy solutions. But one thing I […]

The Sierra Club and the BlueGreen Alliance are teaming up to send 160,000 of campaign literature to voters in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District urging them to support Congressman Mark Schauer over his opponent Tim Walberg in the upcoming midterm election. According to their press release, there are four pieces being sent, each focusing “on Walberg’s reliance on foreign oil that […]
