175 Days until Election Day

MORNING UPDATE:

LOWERING GAS PRICES… With gas prices inching toward the $4 a gallon mark, House Republicans announced Monday that they are backing legislation that would suspend the 6 percent sales tax on gas purchases through Labor Day in an effort to boost the state’s tourism market.

HOOGENDYK FILES 30,000…Jack Hoogendyk filed over 30,000 signatures yesterday to put his name on the ballot to run for the United State Senate as our Republican nominee. Congratulations to Jack and thanks to all that helped.

McCAIN’S ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY SPEECH…McCain seeks out a “third way” on environmental policy…looking for reasonable and practical approaches.

OBAMA IS COMING TO TOWN…details developing, but lets give him the kind of welcome he deserves. I’m sure he’ll be driving in with high CAFE standard hybrids.

JEWISH VOTE IN 2008…Attorney General Mike Cox will be hosting a discussion Thursday, May 22nd with the RJC at the law firm of Trott & Trott…more below.

GOP LEGACY BRICK…make a permanent contribution to the Michigan Republican Party’s building fund, to insure we have a home for a long time to come. See more information below.

WALL OF HONOR…we are honoring Michigan Republicans who have served our party in the past…remembering those who have built our party…more info below.

THE REST OF THE STORY:

- Obama in Michigan… On Wednesday, he will hold a town hall style event in Macomb County – home to the Michigan’s Reagan Democrats movement – and then lead a rally that night in a Grand Rapids arena. Ask about CAFE and our domestic auto industry…who will pay our bills, pay the pensions, provide the health care, and ensure our middle class lifestyle if you destroy the domestic auto industry?

- The Importance of the Jewish vote in 2008 with Attorney General Mike Cox. The RJC event will be held, Thursday, May 22nd at 5:30pm at the Law Firm of Trott & Trott, 31440 Northwestern Hwy, Suite 200, Farmington Hills, 48334. For more information or to join the RJC, renew your membership, or to RSVP please contact Eric Axel, by phone: 202-638-2909 ext.107 or email: grassroots@rjchq.org

- LEGACY BRICK..Give a Gift that Will Last a Lifetime!
The Michigan Republicans moved their headquarters to the Secchia-Weiser Republican Center in 2006 and plan to install a legacy site to honor those who have served the party and the citizens of Michigan. The legacy site will create a well-deserved tribute to honor Michigan’s past, present, and future Republican leaders! Buy a brick to celebrate, to inspire, or to commemorate friends, family, or yourself! They are a great way to honor others in memoriam, birthdays, anniversaries, or any special occasion. Your honoree will receive a certificate commemorating their personalized brick. Choose from our four different options and be a part of the Michigan Republican Party Legacy!

To order your personalized Legacy Brick please visit www.migop.org/legacy, or contact Erin Meteer, Major Donor Program Manager at emeteer@migop.org.

- WALL OF HONOR…Nominations are currently being accepted for the 2008 Michigan Republican Party Wall of Honor.

Last year marked the inaugural year for the Wall of Honor and we recognized 43 Republican activists from across the state. To submit a nomination this year, or to review the nomination criteria, please download a nomination form at http://www.migop.org/WallOfHonor/.
