Which of the confirmed or possible candidates for the Republican nomination for the 2nd Congressional District would you support?

Since when does playing football qualify one for congress???

Riemersma was not even that good in the NFL! I could play tight end better. I could probably do a better job in Congress, too!

While not a voter in this district, I have been following this race and have been very interested in what Mr. Cooper has been doing. His efforts to give back to his community through the Thanks a Million mobile food pantry MUST be applauded and what he has done as an entrepreneur and businessman cannot be challenged by any other candidate. If Michigan wants to turn itself around and regain the greatness that it once had, this state will need people like candidate Cooper in Washington DC.

If everyone does their research on the candidates, what they stand for, what their history is, they will see why Bill Cooper is by far the best choice for Western Michigan.

Bill,

Is by far the most connected to the belief of giving. He has given not only his time, money, and voice to helping where he can. His class and integrity is something to believe in and should be seen and heard with his actions and voice. I support Bill not only in his run for congress, but as a person who believes in the people of West Michigan, and his resolve to give them what they deserve. A true leader.

I know all four and they are all good men. Here is why I beleive Bill Cooper is the best for the job. Committed to giving. A good businessperson, which is needed in Washington. Not alot of B.S. which is also needed

Bill Cooper has employed nearly as many people in a host of small businesses as Jay Riemersma's total # of catches in the NFL Mr's Huizinga and Kuipers, however, have contributed to the loss of more jobs in the state with their misguided voting records, including the punitive MI Business Tax, than even Bill can put to work. Vote for Cooper.

As State Legislators, Kuipers & Huizinga voted with Granholm to raise our taxes.

No thank you. I'll be voting for a REPUBLICAN in the Republican Primary.

Vote NO on Wayne Kuipers and Bill Huizinga.

I have known Bill Cooper for just a couple of years but in this short time he has done so many things for people from food banks to jobs and much more. He is a great person and I know he will do alot for this broken state. He has my vote.

Who is Cooper?

Bill Cooper is a doer. He not only gets things done but, does so with integrity. His energy will be an asset for West Michigan.

Knowing and seeing what type of administration we now have in Washington, I would not want to send anyone to fill the 2nd congressional seat that will need on the job training . We need a representative with a business background as well as the demonstrated ability to work with others.

Jay Riemersma has two of the biggest qualities that I am looking for. 1) He's not a career politician; and 2) He has leadership qualities.

To define him as a football player, which by the way - he was extremely proficient on my fantasy team - is inadequate. We made the mistake of inaccurately defining Ronald Reagan too. Let's do ourselves the service of understanding who the strong candidates are, based on their principles.

AS a business owner, and from what I can see, Jay has what it takes to win and to to be effective. He'll be heard and he'll be respected.

Who is Jay Riemersma?

Rep. Huizinga = higher taxes

Do some research:

Huizenga did NOT support Granholm's tax increases.

Huizenga was on a committee in 2006 to come up with a plan to reform the Single Business Tax. The plan he supported was completely scrapped when the Dems took control of the House in 2007.

To not choose him because of misinformation would be a crime. He is the best candidate for the job by far.

Bill Huizinga = failed economic policies (Michigan Film Office was his pet)

Who is Bill Cooper??

Don't be fooled by people and pundits who say the Michigan Film Incentive is a failure. Bill Huizenga sees the long-term potential of Michigan's ability to draw significant investment from the film industry, and West Michigan is poised to draw millions in new business from this opportunity.

I thank Huizenga for his creativity and forward thinking to bring studios, skilled labor and other investment to the Lakeshore. Those who think Michigan's Film Incentive is a failure are thinking myopically.

Huizenga will make be an excellent representative of our voice in Congress.

Thank you State Rep Huizenga for the new Michigan business tax that's credited for driving jobs away from our state.

Bill Cooper is a proven leader in business and community efforts. His focus and drive are exactly what West Michigan needs right now.
