Subject: Dear Governor Palin from Chuck Yob
To:
Governor Palin,
I saw your comments on Fox News today and described in the Detroit
Free Press article below. I wholeheartedly agree with you that the
decision by the McCain campaign to pull out of Michigan was the wrong
decision.
We have all been wrong at times, and I think this is a decision that
will be corrected in a couple of weeks. We were ahead three points as
of a week ago according to MRG, a polling firm that I trust more than
any national pollster.
I talked to Michigan Republicans and McCain supporters on a conference
call last night and they vowed to redouble their efforts. Indeed,
there will still be a campaign for John McCain in Michigan whether it
is sanctioned by the professionals in Washington DC or not.
Senator McCain has great appeal to Michigan voters dating back to his
2000 campaign. He is a Maverick, independent-minded leader who has
bipartisan appeal to the voters of our state. He is the perfect
Presidential candidate for Michigan.
I also strongly believe that you are the best possible Vice
Presidential choice for Michigan. You kicked Joe Biden's butt in the
debate yesterday by showing your blue collar appeal and highlighting
why Senator McCain's plans for tax cuts, increased energy supply, and
strong foreign policy are what is needed for our country's future. We
also know that Obama's tax increases, $1 trillion spending promises,
and willingness to befriend dangerous rouge leaders is not the right
prescription for our problems.
Democrats have failed the workers of Michigan. Michigan voters know
that when Jennifer Granholm increased taxes it cost Michigan jobs.
Michigan voters know when Kwame Kilpatrick promised new leadership for
Detroit it led to failure. Most importantly, Michigan voters know
that Barack Obama's association with Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and other
questionable individuals had important roles in developing his
worldview that is dangerous for our future.
I agree with what you said on Fox News today and I hereby invite you
to come to Michigan immediately. The good people of Macomb County,
Northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, and Grand Rapids await your
response.
Your Friend and Loyal Supporter of McCain-Palin 2008,
Chuck Yob
Michigan Co-Chairman
