November Speaks: Michigan’s 7th District Rejects Schauer, Government Spending

LANSING- Today’s election was a historic rejection of President Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s big government agenda designed to regulate the everyday lives of American citizens. In Michigan, voters in the seventh congressional district said No to Mark Schauer, who voted in line with Nancy Pelosi on cap-and-trade, health care, and the stimulus package.
“The people of Michigan’s seventh district deserve a representative that will listen to taxpayers and return government to its constitutional limits,” said AFP Michigan State Director Scott Hagerstrom. “I’ve traveled from Houghton to Hillsdale, and everywhere I go Michiganders roar that they are sick of out-of-control spending. We intend to hold the new Congress accountable and demand real change.”

AFP activists in Michigan made thousands of phone calls in each district using the At-Home Freedom Phone program while also distributing 30,000 pieces of literature door-to-door to targeted households. Additionally, the November Is Coming and Spending Revolt bus tours held a dozen events across the state.

TV ads totaling over $450,000 ran in the seventh congressional district calling attention to Schauer’s out-of-control spending.

“The last few years, AFP has been on the ground running the most comprehensive education effort to inform where citizens where candidates stand on key policy issues like cap-and-trade, health care, and the stimulus,” said AFP President Tim Phillips. “Today, our 1.6 million activists have made their voices heard despite a President who has repeatedly ignored public opinion to force his own agenda on the American people.”
