The Tea Party Express will be rolling through much of Michigan this weekend — and they have a goal in mind. It’s time, they say, for Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Ispheming) to lose his seat.
The group’s website declares:
“You, the politicians in Washington, have failed We The People with your bailouts, out-of-control deficit spending, government takeovers of sectors of the economy, Cap and Trade, government-run health care, and higher taxes! If you thought we were just going to quietly go away, or that this tea party movement would be just a passing fad, you were mistaken. We’re taking our country back!”
And according to an interview with the Associated Press, Stupak is the most important target in the fall elections, after Sen. Harry Reid (R-NV).
“Bart Stupak has lost touch with the people of Michigan, and he has betrayed the public’s trust. It’s time to vote him out of office,” said Mark Williams, chairman of the Tea Party Express.
To support their swing through the state, which will include rallies in several upper peninsula, and northern Michigan locations, the group has launched a radio and television campaign against Stupak as well.
