My, it seems that the Doctor has a problem with truth. For Benishek to not respond is to refuse to participate. Do we need a candidate that is not forthcoming, but is already defending lack of patriot values? As to the sudden support of Foxnews and Hannity, it reminds one of their support of RINOs who are for conservative nationalism, the exact target we the people are focusing on to remove from the GOP leadership/ congress. This demand of retraction of truth just pushed the Doctor further out of contention for my vote. Bye Doctor.

"I STAND CORRECTED"...
...."I STAND CORRECTED!"...
My Post of April 9th has two glaring errors in it, one of which was my fault, the other based on common assumptions....I take this opportunity to correct these flaws and state the truth (As I now know it) publicly...
I was just contacted this morning by the Benishek Campaign, I am a political 'rookie' in an experienced, and sometimes professional, arena....and all I am seeking is a straightforward, level playing field, which is an awful lot to ask in today's environment....and to be guilty of contributing to ANY misconception in the pursuit of this goal is unintentional on my part...and a lesson well learned...
I hereby public;y apologize for the following errors in the referenced post as follows, and place the corrections in context for clarity::
"The real primary race here is between Stillings and Goldthorpe, please pay close attention to anything you hear or see on those two, as hey are also the ONLY two currently being vetted by I Caucus...Benishek refused..."
Dan Benishek has NOT "Refused"...he has not "Responded" to I Caucus' vetting attempts....
"I am asking...pleading for your support for either or both of these two candidates to negate the money advantage the GOP has provided Dr.Benishek with, and to level the primary playing field..."
Dr. Benishek is NOT being funded or otherwise supported by the Republican Party....his support comes from a network of grassroots organizations regionally, and around the country, his appearances on Fox News, Hannity, and TV and radio are paid for by his campaign, and arranged through and by a media consultant hired by the campaign...
This was NEWS to me, and may surprise some other folks following the MI 1st District Congressional race, but in the absence of any hard facts, and virtually ZERO response from anyone directly involved in the sudden emergence of the Benishek for Congress campaign literally overnight, one is left to draw their own conclusions...
This leaves the GOP involvement in this race an open question...
I again apologize to Dr. Dan and his campaign staff and supporters for the misinformation presented in my blog, but wish them to note one IMPORTANT FACT....
My blog drew the EXPECTED RESPONSE...someone came out and CHALLENGED it!!!...
Now, I can proceed to support a "Fair and Balanced" primary competition armed with more facts than previously at hand, and both welcome and encourage the imminent debate and discourse over the following 90 days or so...
Thank you, Andy, for setting me straight, and allowing me to correct the public record...
I hope to see your candidate at our open forum on the 17th (Next Saturday), and in the proposed televised debate(s) soon to become a reality...
Here's to "fair play, and a level field"...

The original blog post follows:
The tour begins in Ironwood on the extreme western border of the Upper Peninsula, and the tour has added several "whistlestops" of 30 minutes or so because of the intense interest and demand by the local Tea Party umbrella groups on the District, media coverage by Fox, local TV, radio and internet will be heavy...
At least 3 of the 4 Republican primary candidates will speak at all or most of the stops in the Stupak District...this particular race is of National importance and interest, so please, whether you're in Michigan District 1 or not, live in Michigan or not, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the news and candidate interviews, speech clips, and radio and internet coverage...
Dan Benishek is the GOP backed "candidate"...if you saw him on Sean Hannity's Grand Rapids show tonight, you are wondering right now why the Republican Party is actively trying to lose this seat (a veritable GIFT from Stupak and the Dems) to whichever Democrat Liberal they decide to dig up when Bart drops out...which he will (prediction)...
The real primary race here is between Stillings and Goldthorpe, please pay close attention to anything you hear or see on those two, as hey are also the ONLY two currently being vetted by I Caucus...Benishek refused...they are both small town REAL Americans, and running on their own money, not being propped up by either Party or any "moneyman" supporter, and BOTH need our financial help to fight the GOP bucks and insiders pushing Benishek down our throats...
I am asking...pleading for your support for either or both of these two candidates to negate the money advantage the GOP has provided Dr.Benishek with, and to level the primary playing field...
Keep this in mind as the Tea Party Express bus rolls through Northern Michigan with the NATIONAL spotlight on it for two entire days...we need your help and support here...NOW!!!
$5, $10...whatever, however large or small, it may seems insignificant against the "big picture", but it adds up...let's help the people ofMichigan send a Constitutional, limited government, fiscally responsible, free market economy believer to Congress in lace of "Beltway Bart" Stupak...
