Michigan Democratic Party- Brewer Gives DeVoses China Presents
As they say on "That 70's Show"- Burn!

LANSING - Today Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer sent gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos and his wife Betsy a letter along with appropriate Christmas gifts, a tie and a door hanging made in China. Brewer's letter is below:

Dear Dick and Betsy,

With Christmas approaching, I wanted to give you this festive tie and door hanging. I thought they would be appropriate gifts for both of you because both were made in China.

The people of Michigan know that China is a place very near and dear to your heart. As head of Amway, Dick invested hundreds of millions of dollars in China and created tens of thousands of job there. You both sought and got favorable China trade legislation, legislation which resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars of benefits for Amway. In 1997, you received a $300 million tax break on your China investments after your family had given millions of dollars in soft money to various Republican groups in the 1990's.

So this holiday season, I hope these gifts remind you of the investments and job creation you've given to China.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Mark Brewer,
Chair, Michigan Democratic Party

Wow. This guy is good.
