NEW POLL OVERVIEW:<br />
----------------------------<br />
Conservative leaders are urging House Speaker Boehner to threaten a government shutdown in order to defund ObamaCare.<br />
<br />
Many of those conservative leaders have told Boehner that this is the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span>best and last chance</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span> to stop ObamaCare before its major provisions begin to take effect.<br />
<br />
They feel passing a government funding bill without money in it for ObamaCare will give the president and Senate Democrats the options of; 1) Continuing to fund the government; or 2) Shut down the government on behalf of an unpopular law.<br />
<br />
A growing list of establishment Republicans (Senators John McCain, Tom Coburn, Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, and Richard Shelby, and Rep. Tom Cole) say the strategy will prove fatal to the GOP in the 2014 elections if it ultimately stops the government from functioning.<br />
<br />
They also feel President Obama will never agree to kill his signature healthcare law and that the public will blame Republicans if the government shuts down.<br />
<br />
On the other side more than 50 conservative leaders have signed a letter in support of the proposed defunding of Obamacare.<br />
<br />
NEW POLL QUESTION:<br />
----------------------------<br />
Should the Republicans in the U.S. House remove the money for Obamacare as part of their funding for the Federal Government?<br />
<br />
Yes <br />
No<br />

COMMENT #1<br />
<br />
We need Keith Butler!! Not only does Keith Butler have a clear concise vision and understanding of where this country needs to go, he has already put it in writing in his book! He doesn</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>t waiver on his convictions and would serve with INTEGRITY, something we have not seen at our Senate level in Michigan in a long time. As a bonus, he would have the ability to draw voters from both the independents AND the Democrats. He did NOT receive the backing of the party previously when he ran. If he had Stabenow would not still be in office. Let</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>s NOT continue to make these same mistakes over and over again! Put the best person in the position to do the job that can ACTUALLY WIN THE ELECTION!!<br />
Thank you,<br />

Justin Amash needs to stay in the House. We can</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>t take the chance he will lose in the primary and be gone from congress entirely. My choice is Dr. Rob Steele.<br />

COMMENT #5<br />
<br />
Terry Lynn Land needs to get her ego in check and get out of this race, if any of the other potential cnadidates who could beat a Democrat, get into the race. The last thing we need is any infighting, or competititve fundraising going on to decrease or chances of taking the Senate seat.<br />

COMMENT #6<br />
<br />
Land is accusing Camp of being </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span>establishment</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span>? Someone send her a mirror. Camp at least starts out with $3 million and Land is not a good fund raiser and the tenor of her campaign so far has been lackluster. While Amash would be good in the Senate, getting there is another story: the fact that Amash is actively running for reelection while saying that it would be difficult for a Republican to win the Senate seat does suggest to me that he is unlikely to run for the Senate as he would need to be running now.<br />

Dave Camp</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>s willingness to work across the isle just says </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span>establishment</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span> to me. Our Country needs to head in a new direction or we are lost forever. I would rather take my chances on trying to turn things around with a more </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span>back to the Constitution</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span> candidate like Amash. He may not have the money behind him but is more conservative and its time we stop taking the easy way out on elections.<br />
<br />
We might as well have a Democrat as to end up with a </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span>democrat lite.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'<br />
