President Obama will be in Holland, MI today to break ground on a new lithium ion battery plant. LG Chem, a South Korean company was wooed to Michigan with Federal Stimulus dollars and $100 million in cash subsidies.
This is part of Jennifer Granholm's "going from rust to green initiative" and the plant is supposed to be the supplier for the Chevy Volt, and the Ford Focus.
The company has promised to supply up to 400 jobs in the Holland area, but admitted that they would not be coming to Michigan if not for the tax breaks and Fed dollars.
Liberal Republican, Senator Jason Allen is running against conservative Dr. Dan Benishek in Michigan's First District, that is held by Bart Stupak. Allen voted for the battery initiative to add over $100 million in Michigan taxpayer dollars in cash subsidies to the federal stimulus money to bring LG Chem to Holland. Holland is in the Western Lower Peninisula, and Allen is running in the vast tundra of the Northern tip of the mitt and the Upper Peninsula. No word if Allen will be there for the groundbreaking with Obama and Granholm, but he should be. He thoroughly believes in government creating jobs.
The massive amounts of ink used to distribute the golden ticket for certain companies should have been used to continuously and unabashedly challenge this administration to cut taxes to all business. It is clear that the current Democrat Party is interested in business only when it suits their own lofty notions that certain companies can “save the planet,” it is clear also, that the Republican establishment in Michigan is not leading, but is led around by whatever the Democrats happen to be doing.
You can help Benishek defeat Allen in Michigan's First District by joining the VOTER BOMB. There is 20 days before the primary. Don't let a Liberal Republican win the nomination!
Why President Obama is betting big on battery plants in Michigan,

can anyone else remember a prez (and i say that loosly) that spent so much time out of d.c. basically campaigning when there were so many crisis’s going on in the country...??...i mean this guy is just f’in amazing...everytime i read the news he is jetting off somewhere else to help another lib candidate or breakground on a new something or biden is yucking it up on leno etc etc....what a couple of assclowns....
and they want to point fingers at bush for continuing to read to a class of school kids for a few mins after being told the news on 911.....
Allen is a carpet bagger who moved to run for Stupaks old seat. He is a douch bag
I believe I read that GM is producing the Volt battery “in house” in a new factory built strictly for that purpose.
From rusty to moldy.
Good plan, Gennifer!!!!
