Dear Fellow Patriots,

Re: 2010-APR-15 TEA Party - Video - Pink Slip

It's getting to be the last month of the real election campaign for the primary election season on August 3rd. I wanted to share this video from April 15th with you as a reminder of who I am and that I've been on the street with you over the past year at most every local event. In fact, I held the "Pink Slip" sign because I also attended the Pink Slip Rally in which we marched through downtown St. Joseph, and then served Fred Upton with pink slips at his office.

I believe I've shown the TEA Party and the community what I'm made of, that this election's about who you can trust: Principles, backbone, and the willingness to stand up and say "No More!" to the Leftists and professional politicians that want to micromanage your lives with their Big Brother "plans". You know I'll be taking taxes, regulation, and government power DOWN, supplanting what they've built with the power of the people as guaranteed by Article I, Section 1 of the Michigan Constitution. Watch for the Independence Caucus interview coming out soon to hear what legislation I'd like to sponsor. In the meantime...

I'd like to call on the TEA Party to indulge in a letter-to-the-editor writing campaign during this last month to help make a difference. Many people read it, and you know the Upton Machine will be mobilizing just like they did to ram-rod the School Bond Issue through and onto every landowner's tax bills (yet another tax increase).

As you know, Jack Hoogendyk, Todd Griffee and I have all put our names on each other's campaigns with mutual endorsements, calling ourselves Team Grassroots. If the grassroots movement can not muster the will to write in, putting their names on their letters in support of Team Grassroots, who will? We also need help getting out our literature, t-shirts, yardsigns, building a phone-bank team, and getting out the vote in your precincts on August 3rd.

The time is now, folks, and YOU are all we've got. It's time to show what you're made of regardless of what your neighbors, community, or the Upton Machine think. It's time to make a difference!

Thank you in advance for stepping up to the plate!

Respectfully,

Paul "Revere" Peterson
