Two days ago we began a $250,000 TV and radio ad blitz.  For weeks we&#8217;ve been organizing tea party rallies specifically targeting Stupak for defeat.<\/font><\/font><br \/>\n<font face=\"Arial\"><font size=\"3\">&quot;Last night in Ironwood, MI some 400+ people turned out for a rally against Stupak, which is almost 10% of the city&#8217;s population.  We are currently en route to Escanaba, MI where a giant rally is planned.<\/font><\/font><br \/>\n<font face=\"Arial\"><font size=\"3\">&quot;People in this district are furious with Bart Stupak.  He betrayed his constituents and his own principles.  Those who helped him win electoral victories of more than 60% in the past were now working to defeat him.<\/font><\/font><br \/>\n<font face=\"Arial\"><font size=\"3\">&quot;There has not been a similar national push in the Upper Peninsula and Northern Lower Michigan as is currently underway by the Tea Party Express.  This effort is historic, and it has been possible because of the disgust voters have towards Stupak&#8217;s betrayal of those he was supposed to represent.<\/font><\/font><br \/>\n<font face=\"Arial\"><font size=\"3\">&quot;Just as Scott Brown was propelled to vicoty in the U.S. Senate thanks to the tea party movement, now Bart Stupak appears to have succumbed to the movement&#8217;s strength as well.<\/font><\/font><br \/>\n<font face=\"Arial\"><font size=\"3\">&quot;Our movement is real &#8211; it is not Astroturf, and we&#8217;re not going away.
