Just came here to post this.
Simple, to the point. Grassroots.

Currently airing in the Grand Rapids market (#41 nationwide, I believe) on several networks, including FOX News, ESPN, and others

How do Club4Growth expenditures work?
Can they give directly to the candidate, or do they run their own ads?

I believe Club for Growth runs their own ads.
Some examples:
YouTube - Gov. Charlie Crist and the Stimulus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI4MZxEXd28)

YouTube - Tired of Choosing Between Two Liberals for Congress? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7Ppc9HeDJ8)

Nice ad. It could use a little more racial diversity, especially in light of recent criticisms, but overall it's a nice ad.

Haha, yes. I figured, based on people here in Michigan that I have spoken to that most peeps on the forums would pronounce the name as "AY-MASH" or "AMISH" instead of "UH-MOSH"

Yeah, I always thought it was like Ay-mosh.

Feel free to start a thread on Steve "the plagiarizer" Heacock.

However, moderate Bill Hardiman, should also have a strong finish; Hardiman is very respected in Kentwood (a large suburb), where he was former mayor. As a former vet, Hardiman should also poll well among some social conservatives and veterans.

I've been talking about this race so much that friends are getting annoyed. One even came up with this: (:))
Hardiman + Heacock = Hard-cock

Anyway . . . Go, Justin!
