John James Targets Dem US Senate Incumbent for Flip-Flopping on Sanctuary Cities

When I was following the votes on the Senate floor on the Toomey Amendment, to ban federal grants to outlaw sanctuary jurisdictions, I expected some of the Red State Democrats to vote for it because this is a tough election year for Democrats.

I was surprised that Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan) voted for Toomey's amendment, though!

Republican challenger John James called her out on this vote--because she voted against the same legislation three times before. What changed for Debbie?

She's worried about her re-election chances, simple as that. Like Russ Feingold in 2010, Stabenow hasn't been paying attention to the slow but steady political shift under her feet. The state has gotten redder by the minute. The Wolverine State is getting redder by the minute, despite the slip-up in 2014, with Gary Peters taking Carl Levin's place when Secretary of State Terry Lynn Land chose to hew a centrist message rather than standing out as an outspoken conservative.

Republicans control the state legislature in Lansing. Govenror Rick Snyder has overseen economic expansion and growth. Detroit's voter turnout, with voter fraud and corruption of the past 60 years, does not have the power and sway it used to have since the rapid depopulation and bankruptcy.

Last of all, right to work has made the state essentially competitive for Republicans, and the current RNC Chairman is from Michigan!

Is there enough moment to get John James elected, too? Let's hope so.

After 44 years as a politician, Debbie Stabenow decides to flip flop on her weak position on immigration and illegal sanctuary cities.

Maybe that’s because she’s facing a tough election in less than nine months. Tell Senator Stabenow border security isn’t a political game.

Tell Stabenow

Arthur,

 

During my time as an Army Captain and Apache pilot in Operation Iraqi Freedom, I actively secured a border from dangerous terrorists.

Debbie Stabenow voted to protect illegal sanctuary cities in 2008, 2015, and 2016.

In 2018, she faces a tough election against me – maybe that’s why she’s hoping one vote in the Senate will make her constituents forget her past. But I believe you are smart enough to see right through this cheap and insulting political ploy.

I have ALWAYS opposed sanctuary cities and I am the strongest candidate on border security in this election. Now, I’m asking you to stand with me and tell Stabenow she can’t hide her weak record on border security.

I Asked, They Answered: SCF Endorses John James for US Senate

The Senate Conservatives Fund is an attentive independent political force. In August 2017, they endorsed the perfect candidate to replace Jeff Sessions in Alabama: Congressman Mo Brooks. The outcome of the first GOP primary did not work out as we wanted, but it certainly set the stage for future primary fights that our candidates need to be conservative and electable, i.e. doing the necessary work to win and overcome the evil attacks from the regressive Left.

I received a map of open US Senate seats for Election 2018. So far, SCF has endorsed four candidates. I then wondered aloud: "When will the endorse Patrick Morrisey in West Virginia?"

Sure enough, the next day the SCF sent out an eblast announcing their endorsement for the West Virginia Attorney General to replace Joe Manchin.

I then looked into the other US Senate races, like Michigan, where President Trump pulled off an epic win, even if by a slim margin, as the first Republican in thirty years to win the Wolverine State. So far, one clear-cut conservative is running against out-of-touch Debbie Stabenow: John James.

As soon as I found out about him, I tweeted to James, Ken Cuccinelli, and the Senate Conservatives Fund Twitter handle to endorse John James.

@JohnJamesMI Please reach out to @SCF as soon as you can.

It would be great to get their endorsement.@KenCuccinelli

The next day, Lo and Behold!

I think that the Senate Conservatives Fund is going to enjoy some significant wins this November.

Arthur: Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) was founded to build a conservative Senate by helping conservative outsiders compete with establishment candidates who had connections and money. SCF was built to be a powerful tool to help the grassroots elevate outstanding candidates who could win if they only had the resources. Each election, we find candidates who fit this founding mission. This year, John James (R-MI) is one of those candidates. He's never run for office, but he has all of the characteristics we look for in a candidate – he's a true conservative, he has grassroots support, and he can win if he gets his message out. That's why we are proud to endorse John James for the U.S. Senate in Michigan against Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI). Please join us by making a generous contribution to the John James for Senate campaign today. John James is a husband, a father, a combat veteran, and a businessman. He graduated from West Point and served in Iraq as a Ranger-qualified aviation officer, logging over 750 flight hours and leading two Apache platoons. After eight years in service to our country, he returned to Michigan to work in the family business. Under his leadership, the company has rapidly expanded and created over 100 new jobs. John James is a rock-solid conservative who is passionate about our country and the principles of freedom that make it great. He's a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-free markets conservative who has demonstrated energetic and effective leadership.

John James vs. Debbie Stabenow: Debbie Stands With #SchumerShutdown

When she voted with D.C. Democrats to shut down the government at the expense of Michigan kids and veterans, Debbie Stabenow made her priorities loud and clear.

Now make yourself loud and clear: donate any amount if you believe that after 43 years, Michigan can’t afford Stabenow any longer.

Make your voice heard

Arthur,

This month, Debbie Stabenow taught us a lot about her.

When Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, chose to shutdown the government over a noncontroversial budget for the sole purpose of delivering a political embarrassment to Republicans, Debbie could have done the right thing.

She could have chosen to stand with Michigan’s children, veterans, military families, and senior citizens.

Instead, Debbie Stabenow chose Chuck Schumer and D.C. Democrats. Was it worth it?

Two days later, when they realized their despicable PR strategy had failed miserably, and Americans overwhelmingly saw through the transparent political charade, Democrats were the ones who got embarrassed.

Democrats came crying back to the table, finally allowing President Trump and the Republican Congress to do their job and fund the government.

Michiganders deserve better than the cheap political games that Debbie has learned during her 21 years in Washington. The Senate is broken, and she isn’t trying to fix it.

Donate if you want a new Senator

When I’m your Senator, I will always put Michiganders ahead of politics. I won’t work for the leadership in EITHER party – I will work for YOU.

But if we’re going to lead a conservative revolution to the floor of the Senate, I need your help. I need 500 co-pilots to chip in any amount before midnight on January 31st marks our end of month fundraising deadline. Can you help?

 

Thank you,

 

 

John James

 

P.S. Will you be a co-pilot for Michigan’s future? Chip in $5 to help me replace Debbie Stabenow >>>

YES! Trump Supporter Kid Rock Announces Bid for US Senate

Yes, it's real.

Kid Rock is running for US Senate for the great state of Michigan.

The Wolverine State went Republican for the first time in nearly 30 years for Election 2016.

Trump's populist, pro-America, pro-working man agenda inspired Michiganders of all backgrounds to board the Trump train.

Right-to-work legislation pushed away the inordinate power of the labor unions.

Detroit's bankruptcy only made it harder for Democrats to justify their political chokehold on the state.

And now--we have Kid Rock, a hard-core patriot and Trump supporter running for US Senate.

Democrats are really scared now. He is already polling ahead of incumbent Debbie Stabenow. She has been a pretty useless US Senator for the past 18 years.

She could be another casualty of the Trump Train next year. Besides, Kid Rock is making conservatism cool--and winning!
