Standing Up for Michigan's Middle Class


Standing Up for Michigan's Middle Class

5th Generation Michigander

Gary's Michigan middle-class roots run deep as his family has lived here for five generations. Gary and his wife, Colleen, are the proud parents of a son and two daughters, and live in Oakland County.

A Record of Service
Gary volunteered for duty in the U.S. Navy Reserve just shy of his 35th birthday. Then after September 11th, he volunteered for service again.

Holding Washington Accountable
In Congress, Gary kept his office spending below budget and returned over half a million dollars back to the Treasury. And he fought to stop Congress from giving itself a pay raise it didn't deserve.

ELECTION DAY IS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH

Trusted to Fight for the Middle Class

Working with members of both parties to find commonsense solutions that strengthen Michigan's economy and the middle class, Gary is:

  • Cutting taxes for small businesses and middle-class families
  • Protecting Medicare's guaranteed benefits and strengthening Social Security
  • Helping small businesses by writing and passing a new law that makes it easier for them to get loans – a program that's creating thousands of Michigan jobs
  • Cracking down on China's trade violations and ending tax breaks for corporations that send jobs overseas
  • Taking on Wall Street banks by helping write the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights which eliminates hidden fees and saves Americans $20 billion a year

TERRI LYNN LAND
MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES CAN'T TRUST HER
Land shares the same dangerous agenda as the out-of-state, oil billionaire Koch brothers, and their special interest allies, who are spending nearly $14 million to buy Michigan's Senate seat for her.

HARMING MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES
Land and the Koch brothers would make middle-class families pay more, while giving tax breaks to millionaires and big corporations, and support tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. These are the same Koch brothers who dumped pet coke in Southeast Michigan and who manage a toxic waste site on the Kalamazoo River.

PUTTING WOMEN AT RISK
Land backs a plan that would ban all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest, or when the mother's health is in danger. She supports a plan that would cut women's access to preventative healthcare services, like mammograms. Land would also allow bosses to deny contraception coverage for their female employees.

ENDING MEDICARE'S GUARANTEED BENEFITS
The Land/Koch agenda would privatize Social Security and end Medicare's guaranteed benefit. This would cost seniors $6,400 a year and risk their retirement on Wall Street.
