Withers Endorses Michael Moon for Congress

Oct. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Democratic Congressional primary candidate, Scott Withers, today endorsed Michael Moon, the Libertarian candidate, for Michigan’s 5-th U.S. Congressional District in the upcoming November general election.

Withers’ primary campaign was dedicated to fighting for the rights of the working poor, the middle class, small business owners and women’s reproductive rights.   Michael Moon is the only candidate on the general election slate who supports the issues for which Withers fought.

“I whole-heartedly endorse Michael Moon’s candidacy for the U.S. Congress,” said Withers. “Moon is dedicated to fighting for Michigan families and small business owners,” said Withers.  “Moon is the only candidate in the race who is living through the extreme economic challenges faced by lower and middle- class workers here in mid-Michigan.”

“I am honored Scott Withers has endorsed my candidacy in the general election,” said Michael Moon, Libertarian Congressional candidate.  “Scott and I both share a dedication to improving the lives of the poor and middle class, both groups have been hurt by the anti-competitive and anti-small business owner policies supported by Congressman Kildee.”

Withers decided not to endorse incumbent Congressman Dale Kildee because of his voting record.  Kildee has voted in favor of billions of dollars of taxes on small business owners and voted against women’s reproductive rights.  Additionally, Withers was discouraged by Kildee’s decision to move his family to McLean, Virginia in 1977.
