 Michigan, USA - The Chaldean Caucus has sent out over 6,000 e-mails and mailed out over 2,000 letters to likely Chaldean voters reminding them that tomorrow, Tuesday, August 5 are the primary elections. “We want to keep the Chaldean community informed and excited about local races as much as the upcoming presidential race,” says Lauren George, western district Chaldean Caucus representative.
Politicians have come to realize the importance of winning the Chaldean vote says George. “The community values democracy. Coming from a country that would kill your entire family should you dare consider thinking and acting in democratic ways, we are hungry to participate. Our community is active in campaigns, involved in running for politics, and we get out the vote.”
The largest population of Chaldeans in the United States lives in Oakland County, Michigan. George says that political candidates in that county wisely court the Chaldean constituency knowing that Chaldeans can make all the difference.
“We have great candidates vying for their party representation or to make the ballot list in the primary. Candidates for Oakland County Prosecutor Attorney, County Commissioners, County Sheriff, district representatives, 6th Circuit Judge, 46th District Judge, Probate Judge, and even a ballot proposal to fund West Bloomfield parks and the Detroit Zoo,” shares George. District representatives for the 26, 27, 29, 35, 37, 38, 39, and 40 are highly populated Chaldean regions where candidates have to fight through a primary.
“Voters can not split their ticket,” says George . “In other words, if you vote for a candidate in a Republican primary, all voting must remain on the Republican side otherwise you spoil your ticket and the vote does not get counted. You just have to pick one side and stick to all the votes on that side. The ballot will also reflect the district for representative, county commissioner, and local races.”
The Chaldean Caucus candidate communication packet encouraged Chaldeans to vote for the following candidates:

At war with the USCCB; Pro-life reaction to Tebow Super Bowl ad
(Matt C. Abbott) - Would it be best for the Catholic Church in the U.S. (and Rome, for that matter) if the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops were to be dismantled? I say yes, but more on that a bit later. First, there have been a few interesting developments in the ongoing Catholic Campaign for Human Development controversy...
Feminists are a bunch of irrational ninnies
(Carey Roberts) - I've been waiting all day to unload this, so sit down and get ready for a good belly-laugh... Remember Susan Estrich? She was Michael Dukakis' campaign manager for his disastrous presidential run in 1988. But washed-up liberals don't shrivel up and blow away, they reinvent themselves as pundits and news analysts...
John Murtha, RIP: statesman or political thug?
(Jim Kouri) - News of the death of 77-year old Congressman John Murtha, of Pennsylvania, on Monday garnered the usual coverage afforded a high-profile political leader by the news media and the Beltway elites. Even Republicans fawned over his long record in the House of Representatives...
Marvel Comics: Captain America says tea parties are dangerous and racist
(Warner Todd Huston) - Marvel Comic's Captain America is the mightiest soldier with the super powerful secret soldier formula that makes him a super man. Sadly, this muscle bound hero that took on the whole Nazi army during WWII seems to be afraid of those American people who've joined the Tea Party movement. Not only is Cappy quaking in his little red booties, but he's sure that the Tea Party folks are dangerous racists, too...
A life worth living? It depends!
(Judie Brown) - It is always interesting to follow the trends in other countries, particularly when the subject is ending the life of a loved one due to severe disability or serious illness. There have been two such cases in the news in England over the past week...
Yes, you can believe in the Old Testament God
(Grant Swank) - In the Old Testament, God commanded the death penalty in twenty-some cases. This was not because God was barbaric, but because God was civil. The Israeli twelve tribes had no law enforcement agencies. Further, they were surrounded by barbarisms of strange magnitudes exhibited by neighboring pagan nations...
Tebow ad flap and result merely prove how pathetic pro-abortion groups are
(Gabriel Garnica) - All we heard amid the Super Bowl buildup is how the ad by Focus on The Family featuring Tim Tebow and his mother was an outrageous attempt to hijack America's showcase sporting event to push a political and religious agenda. Liberal mainstream media ( sorry for the unnecessary use of an adjective) outlets whined how this game was no place to jam a pro-life message down throats more interested in eating chips and salsa or cheering a favored team...
The Bush family's project hammer
(Deanna Spingola) - Hammering the USSR's Economy In 1989 President George H. W. Bush began the multi-billion dollar Project Hammer program using an investment strategy to bring about the economic destruction of the Soviet Union including the theft of the Soviet treasury, the destabilization of the ruble, funding a KGB coup against Gorbachev in August 1991 and the seizure of major energy and munitions industries in the Soviet Union...
Warren Buffett: outfoxing the wise men of Wall Street? Or preparing for the Obama economy?
(Wes Vernon) - "Watch what we do, not what we say." That helpful hint -- once let slip years ago by a high government official -- was meant to convey the message that we do smart things but that doesn't mean it's always smart for us to brag about them. The always cynical media interpreted it to mean that we're actually ashamed of things we do, and it's not smart for us to advertise them...
Obama & Dems steal our money, wreck economy, demand we pay for it
(Sher Zieve) - The Apex of Chutzpa has now been reached by Obama and his Marxist minions. Since they gained control of both houses of Congress in 2006, Democrat leaders have been on a hell-bent mission (both literally and figuratively) to plunder the wealth of the USA and suppress its people...
Odd fellows: Glenn Beck, Marcel Reid, and Ron Karenga
(Michael Gaynor) - Did Ms. Reid mesmerize the Beckster? Is Beck educable, or doomed to remain a Reid dupe? Why has Glenn Beck enthusiastically promoted Marcel Reid and her ACORN 8 band and repeatedly called her his "Rosa Parks" while (rightly) exposing President Obama as radical and calling out self-identified "communist" Van Jones?...
America, a nation founded on individualism, not collectivism
(Doug Hagin) - There is no greater difference between the Left and Right than on the issue of human rights. The Left talks incessantly of human rights, equality, social justice, free elections, and so on. Wonderful stuff, really inspiring, until you look at what the Left REALLY means. In the mind of a Leftist, rights are collective, not individual. Take a peek at the "right" to health care, one of the pillars of Marxism, which, of course Leftism is a direct descendant of...
