Stupak Is Out!

Politico is reporting that Bart Stupak will “not seek re-election” in Michigan’s first district, with ‘friends’ being quoted as saying this:

Friends said Stupak was not leaving because of the health fight but because of the exertion that would be required to hold his sprawling Upper Peninsula District.

Well, that’s a nice way of saying this is precisely because of the health fight…and that he can’t stomach the idea of facing the constituents he sold out when he voted in favor of it.

Perhaps he took the $700, 000.00 he was offered by some Tea Party folks…perhaps not-either way he’s gone. Now, on to the next battle: let’s get Dan Benishek elected to take what will now be an open seat. You can DONATE here and help send Dr. Benishek to Washington to help clean up the mess Stupak and his cronies made.

DONATE early, DONATE often.
