Come out tonight and hear Mike speak at the VFW forum
Come out tonight (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. and hear Mike speak at a candidate forum sponsored by Fowlervillve VFW Post 6464 and the Ladies Auxiliary at the VFW Hall, 215 Veterans Drive in the Village of Fowlerville. The forum is billed as for all candidates seeking office in Livingston County, so we don’t know if our opponent will be there. We certainly hope so. Mike plans to take few hours off from door knocking to bring his message to a larger audience.
We are looking for opportunities to talk to larger number of voters, such as house parties, service club meetings or any gathering of people. We hope to engage our opponent in more than just the one debate. We need all the help we can get to get our message out.
The listeners of WHMI-Radio heard an excellent piece on Mike yesterday. WHMI followed Mike and Jim Marcinkowski, the candidate for the U.S. House for the 8th District, as they knocked on doors in Brighton. We would like to take this opportunity to thank WHMI News Director Jon King and reporter Jessica Matthews for their great continued and sustained coverage of the campaign. They are taking very seriously the traditional role of the media in informing the public about the issues and the candidates.

Hey, CG - The Detroit Free Press (Democratic paper) endorsed Chris Ward today.
When did McGonegal have his endorsement interview with the Free Press? Didn't he impress them enough?
The Democratic paper endorsed Ward? What gives?
The Free Press did not conduct an endorsement interview with Mike, and I have no idea what they based the endorsement on. I don’t even care. They are not the local newspaper, and I have no idea how they make endorsements now or in the past. Nor do I even care who they endorsed if they did not even bother to meet the candidates. However, I do know how endorsements were made in past at the Press & Argus. Why would an endorsement matter from someone who has not even bothered to take the time to meet the candidates? I have personally met every candidate I am voting for on Nov. 7.
There is no such thing as a “Democrat Newspaper.” However, the Detroit Free Press is owned by Gannett – one of the largest corporations in the country - just like the Press & Argus. Maybe it was a corporate decision made at Gannett headquarters in McLean, Va. for all I know.
Thanks for your comments, who-ever-you-are. Maybe someday you’ll write something you will feel good enough about to actually own up to.
