Michigan news website MLive.com reports 2008 Green Party U.S. House candidate Erik Shelley has “posted a series of YouTube videos documenting his repeated and failed attempts to set up a town hall or personal meeting” with Rep. Thaddeus McCotter to discuss health care legislation.
Shelley received 5,072 in his 2008 run in Michigan’s 11th District, finishing behind McCotter, Democrat Joseph Larkin, and Libertarian John Tatar, who received 6,001 votes.
Skyler McKinley, the same Skyler who patronized me when I contacted him about Gravel/Ruwart being a possible mediocre fusion ticket? Your guy could be POTUS right now. But noooooooooooooooo.
What possible incentive could Rep. McCotter have to meet with a Green Party activist who came in 4th place in a Congressional election?
Further, a Green advocating for health-care reform increases McCotter’s arsenal and ability to paint health care reform as extremist, and as a fringe movement.
