Received this e-mail today from Mark Schauer's (D. MI) gubernatorial campaign regarding Governor Rick Snyder's (R. MI) GOP buddies, Dave Agema and Brooks Patterson:
Governor Snyder cannot sit back while state GOP leaders actively damage this great state. This is unacceptable, and we urgently need your help in telling him so.
Michigan Republican National Committeeman, Dave Agema, has compared LGBT individuals to alcoholics, has praised Russia's anti-gay laws, and has claimed Muslim-Americans have made no positive contributions to society.
Oakland County Executive Brooks Patterson claimed to a national magazine that "what we’re gonna do is turn Detroit into an Indian reservation, where we herd all the Indians into the city, build a fence around it, and then throw in the blankets and the corn."
Governor Snyder has a responsibility to speak out against these damaging comments. Click here to join us in demanding that he call on Agema to resign, and to denounce Patterson's comments.

This ugly rhetoric isn't representative of Michigan values. If Rick Snyder believes they aren't as well, he needs to break his silence and say so. If he doesn't, he will have failed in his duty to uphold the dignity of Michigan's highest office. Our state deserves a governor who will stand up for what's right even when it involves standing up to his own party.
Our state deserves a governor who will put our state ahead of his own political party. Click here and join us today in demanding that Governor Snyder call on Agema to resign, and denounce Patterson's comments.
