I love the way Jack Hoogendyk answers questions. Jack’s ideas are great,  his ethical standards are high. I think Jack will be a great replacement for Carl Levin.

Here’s a link to the debate that was held recently at the Detroit Economic Club –  you can watch a replay of the streaming video. It will also be broadcast again in the Detroit area on Channel 56 this Sunday, October 26, at 4 pm.

You can watch another debate (between Carl Levin and Jack Hoogendyk) that was held in Grand Rapids, Michigan (on Sunday, October 19, 2008) on the WGVU web video channel – Decision 2008 US Senatorial Debate.

In a message to his supporters he quoted Obama:

“Change happens because the American people demand it, because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time.”

Everyone that listens to the voice of principle and reason, agrees that it’s time for change.

Sounds to me like Mr. Levin is asking the people of Michigan to vote for Jack Hoogendyk this November. “New ideas…new leadership…new politics…new time.” If I may paraphrase Levin’s essential message: Don’t vote for me. I’ve been in the Senate so long that I don’t know what hope and change is all about.

The Michigan people are speaking out.  We agree that it’s time for change.

BDBopper said Let’s get Hoogendyk elected to the US Senate, in his blog – Oh, Baby That’s What I Like!

Dennis Lenox said: “Jack has been a tremendous voice for conservatives in Michigan’s Legislature. He’ll make an outstanding senator.”

We are sick of Carl Levin’s hot air and empty promises. It’s time to return to core principles. It’s time to go back to the constitution.

Carl Levin has been very helpful to the citizens of Michigan for the past 30 years. We can thank Carl Levin for the high price of oil, loss of jobs, destruction of business opportunities, and 30 years of nothing but empty promises filled with hot air.

Carl Levin has done so many great things for Michigan in the past 30 years, we can be thankful for all these benefits:

• Every time you fill your truck up with fuel it costs $300 to $500. Thanks Carl Levin.
• When you fill up your car or mini-van with gas, it costs $50, $75, or $100. Thanks Carl Levin.
• Every time you turn around in Michigan, another manufacturing plant closes. Thanks Carl Levin.
• Every time someone tries to start a new business in Michigan, Carl Levin is there to help shut it down with empty promises, higher taxes, more red-tape, failed energy policies, government waste, and more promises full of hot air. Thanks-again Carl Levin
• Carl Levin is very good at something. Carl Levin is very good at raising taxes.
• Oh that’s right — Carl Levin is good at another thing too — breaking promises.

Jack Hoogendyk makes a lot of sense.  It’s time for real change in Michigan. It’s time to return to core principles. Jack has great ideas for bringing business opportunities back to Michigan. Jack understands that less government means more business opportunities, faster economic growth for Michigan, and more jobs in Michigan. Jack understands that lower taxes — means we will have more money to invest in Michigan business, and the creation of Michigan jobs. That’s why I’m voting for Jack Hoogendyk for US Senate in 2008. We need a new leader — a leader who will serve the people of Michigan.

There is only one winner who will make everyone a winner in Michigan in 2008. His name is Jack Hoogendyk.
