TC Common Sense, Traverse City, Michigan

A Little Help For Our Friends

Our TC Common Sense fundraiser is coming up on October 14th to raise money for ALL the candidates in the five-county area (not just Traverse City). So please join us!

Attorney Grant Parsons is our featured speaker and will talk about his investigation of Ross Child and the Traverse City Record-Eagle. Really, an evening that promises great, great conversation.

Please join us! It all happens at the Inside Out Gallery (in back of the former Bubba's on Grandview Parkway), at 7 p.m., October 14th. Please rsvp to rorielewis@hotmail.com.

Donation amount is $25, and all the money will go to the candidates.
They are:
TiYi Schippers (running against state Senator Michelle McManus)
Dan Scripps (running against state Senator David Palsrok)
Roman Grucz (running against state Representative Howard Walker)
Shari Unger (running against state Senator Jason Allen)
Mike Huckleberry (running against U.S. Senator Dave Camp)

If you can't make it, please send a check to:

Please specify if you would like the money to go to a candidate or TC Common Sense. Thank you!

Our first billboard went up in April 2005 in an ongoing effort to unite and catalyze the region's liberals and progressives. Now we're on to our second (pictured above). We're spreading the word about Traverse City's Democratic majority and such blue values as pursuing alternative energy, preserving constitutional freedoms, and protecting our children and their future world. To contribute to this year-long campaign, please send donations to TC Common Sense at P.O. Box 1925, Traverse City, MI 49685. For information, please email us.

You'll find the billboard by driving north on Cass toward 14th Street. It will be on your right hand side, just past the Profile building.

Our first bumper sticker lets the neighbors and world know that you're a true-blue voter. Suggested donation is $4 per sticker to TC Common Sense, P.O. Box 1925, Traverse City, MI 49685, and we'll mail one right out to you. For bulk purchases, please contact us.
