Not surprising, considering the track record of Republicans.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/274711.aspxFri, 01 May 2009 00:36:11 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:274711micapcon0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/274711.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=21&PostID=274711<p>The March/April 2009 <a href="http://www.mackinac.org/pubs/mcc/" class="null">Michigan Capitol Confidential</a> carries a story about a program by the Greater Detroit Democratic Socialists of America to help candidates who line up with their values win closely contested races for the Michigan Legislature. Using organized door-to-door canvassing, fundraisers and other forms of aid, the group claims credit for getting four new Democratic lawmakers over the finish line. Those lawmakers are: Rep. Sarah Roberts, D - St. Clair Shores; Rep. Vickie Barnett, D - Farmington Hills; Rep. Jon Switalski, D - Warren; and Rep. Llisa Brown, D - West Bloomfield.</p> <p>What do you think?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
