Alticor running ads for DeVos . . . are you kidding me?
Edited on Fri Sep-01-06 10:17 AM by EmmitFitzhume
Luckily it looks like the media is all over this one, but Alticor is running ads for the first time in 20 years coincidentally while DeVos is running for Governor. Thanks for the help Dick, reminding everyone of your connection and giving us a chance to remind voters that you shipped all those jobs to China. Here is a Grand Rapids Press article about it,

Hopefully the ads will feature the Chinese workers who now hold the jobs lost by Michiganders. So his $13 million spent on ads isn't enough and he needs help from Alticor as well. What's next his brother-in-law and Blackwater will start running ads for him? Unbelievable . . . well maybe not for DeVos & Co.

Matt over at MI liberal has the video clips of the ads plus the oldie but goodiw Dateline investigation on the "multilevel marketing" = pryamid scheme rip off at Amway. Worht a watch. Have a great Labor Day weekend everyone.

1. They are doing their best to buy the Governor's mansion
but it isn't working as well as they had hoped. Granholm has been surging in the polls lately.
