Are you getting 10-15 emails a day from candidates or political action committees begging you for money? I wonder why I get emails from candidates running in Texas or Massachusetts asking me to support their election campaigns. It is true that I want Democrat candidates to win over Republicans primarily because the historical Republican party of conservative values and rule of law has ceased to exist replaced by a cult of personality apparently focused on dismantling our constitutional rights and social safety net programs in favor of a dictatorship based on chaos, corruption, and cruelty.
I will not contribute to those deserving Democrats running for office in other states or even to Democrats running for election that will not be representing me in Lansing or Washington. I have resolved to keep my money local to support the down-ballot local and regional candidates who I rely on to make important decisions that will impact me, my family, my friends, and my neighbors’ quality of life. I will contribute to my local Democratic party organization because they have proven to be good stewards using my dollars to be more visible and active in the community working to find and support candidates who dedicated themselves to social, economic, and environmental justice |
On deck.... for all, not just those who voted for them or contributed to their campaigns. I want to get money out of politics. There is a ballot measure petition circulating to require legislation prohibiting Michigan utility companies and state contractors from contributing to campaigns of state legislators or state-wide offices. That is a good start, but the money from the large corporations and wealthy people that just received another huge tax break continues to influence those who make decisions on future taxation and regulation. 2026 incumbents will have huge war chests to remain in power. Challengers who bring fresh ideas and positive energy will rely on grassroots support. These challengers are the candidates that deserve your money, your support, and your vote. Look for them, listen to them, and resolve to support them rather than one of those slick email pleas for money. |
