DeVos and Bouchard May want to study the MCRI issue more carefully. Their poorly thought out opposition may sink them in the November election

Dick DeVos’ campaign says he can’t be bought and paid for, because his enormous personal wealth puts him beyond such temptation. . It seems that his enormous wealth also insulates him from being sold on a subject that is of vital importance to ordinary people, the same civil rights for everyone regardless of their wealth, race, gender, religion, or social position in their community. DeVos, and to be fair, Bouchard and other politicians who should know better, claim that the MCRI could or may or might have unintended consequences. None of these so-called men of the people seems to care about the intended consequence of the MCRI, taking the state out of the arbitrary preference game for politically favored groups that affirmative action in Michigan has become.

I would like to know exactly what Mr. DeVos and Mr. Bouchard have to say about the following article that appeared in the (University of) Michigan Review (http://www.michiganreview.com/\25/2/issue_1.pdf . The article is a succinct analysis of the deceptive logic used by MCRI opponents.

Why is it that both of the candidates are running against women holding high office? Are they sexists? Don’t they believe in giving failed politicians who are women another chance just because they are women? Perhaps Mr. DeVos anjd Mr. Bouchard need to stand up and be counted for universal civil rights. They certainly don’t seem to believe in the concept now.
