Former U.S. Senate Candidate
Mike Bouchard's Endorsement

My Fellow Republicans:

I really appreciate all the work that was done by you and the whole Republican team this past cycle, but future challenges lay ahead of us. I am supporting Saul Anuzis to continue as Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party. Saul is the right leader to help lead our party to success in 2008.

I have known Saul for over 20 years. He is a tireless worker, great motivator and, critical to the party, a successful fundraiser. Saul and the Michigan Republicans were a big part of our efforts to try to win back the U.S. Senate seat.

Senator Elizabeth Dole at one point said "you're lucky to have a chairman like Saul" and I couldn't agree more. He was an aggressive advocate for our race with the White House, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Republican National Committee. He pitched national pundits and the media to help us establish our campaign as one of the "winnable" challengers, which helped bring additional resources into Michigan. Those relationships meant a great deal.

I encourage you to join me in supporting Saul now. Let's continue the efforts of building lists and supporting our grass roots so our candidates of 2008 have a strong party behind them. Thank you again for all you have done and will do in the future.

Sincerely,

Mike Bouchard
