Group 1— Democratic Parties are actively giving voters an array of candidates Group 2— It appears that local Democratic Parties are actively working to keep candidates off the ballot. I had spoken to the Chair of the Cass County Democrats, and he tried to console me about the UAW controlled Allegan County Democratic Party that tried to kill the Democratic Club of West Michigan. He said they had the same problem with the UAW there in Cass County and they did exactly the same thing to their club. All they did was put their members up to run as precinct delegates, then they went in and “kicked the bums out.” So Allegan, Barry, Berrien, and Van Buren counties definitely need some work. * Allegan County - I was the only Democrat on the ballot for a county office. In 2004, under Marty Jo Flesser, there were 3 Democrats on the ballot. Do you think they might be working with the people in power. They went out of their way not to endorse me, yet I was the largest vote getter in the county even with their vote manipulations. |
