<span style="font-size: larger;">West Michigan business leaders are plotting to take down Rep. Justin Amash as part of a broader effort to punish some &ldquo;Tea Party&rdquo; type lawmakers over the government shutdown.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Prominent Michigan donors have requested financial backing for Amash&rsquo;s primary challenger including seven individuals, including Michigan businessmen Mark Bissell, J.C. Huizenga and Mike Jandernoa. They argue Amash and others have effectively crippled the Republican majority in the U.S. House.</span><br />
