A Message from the Feed the Governor Foundation:



Meet Jennifer.

Unlike that other gubernatorial candidate, Jennifer can’t afford to buy all the airtime that she needs to have a competitive campaign. While the other guy is buying all his ads during the highest rated television shows, Jennifer is stuck purchasing slots during “Michigan Farm Report” at 6:30 AM Sunday mornings. Without your dollars, Jennifer’s message to end tyranny and oppression in our lifetime might not get on the air at all! Won’t you please help?

While others can afford to have super-stick glue on the back of their bumper stickers, Jennifer is being forced to use scotch tape- tape that will need to be replaced every time it rains! If you act today, you can help Jennifer buy some glue so her name can be seen speeding down the highway just like all the other candidates for office, both big and small!

Without your generous donation, Jennifer might have to write her own campaign signs by hand with giant magic markers. The consequences of that would be catastrophic- picture Jennifer wearing an arm brace after she gets carpal tunnel syndrome. Holding a microphone could become nearly impossible! Think of how horrible that would be!

And the sad truth is, Jennifer just might run out of money right there on the campaign trail, perhaps driving up to an event in Alpena or Traverse City, forcing her to hitchhike on the Michigan back roads or maybe even go without lunch. Don’t leave Jennifer on the side of the road, hungry and tired with her thumb sticking out in the air! Help out today!

Imagine! For only $2.37 a day from now until November, you can help Jennifer have the quality of campaign that every candidate deserves. So many of us take it for granted that our politicians have enough to get by- in reality some of them can barely afford to buy a decent set of clothes to wear for their photo shoots or even have their teeth bleached. It’s tragic, but it’s the hard truth of today’s expensive political world.

Act now! Help put a smile on Jennifer’s face. You’ll be glad you did.


(In all seriousness, the July 23rd deadline is fast approaching. For all those that complain about a lack of campaign from Granholm, consider these numbers- Hillary Clinton, probably the heaviest hitter in Democratic fundraising, has a reported $22 million in her war chest. Dick DeVos has now spent $10 million. He has gone into overdrive in my market, both on TV and radio. Dick at this point has spent almost half of Hillary numbers, and it's only July. Imagine what he will do when Granholm goes on the air.

Give. Give today. Give all you can. Your state is on the line.)
