Something Dick DeVos won't have in his ads
Got this from email
He is a supporter of outsourcing policies as advocated by President Bush that have hurt Michigan’s economy, in the worst way.
Here are the facts:
DeVos Laid Off Michigan Workers As Head Of Amway TwiceIt is an undisputed fact that during DeVos’ time as head of Amway (1993-2002), the company laid off nearly 1,400 Michigan workers.
Under DeVos, Amway Invested Millions In ChinaFrom 1993-1998, Amway invested $100 million in China. In 2003, the company decided to add another $120 million in investments. And while he was lamenting job cuts in Michigan in 1998, Dick DeVos sought to affirm his investments in China.
Asian Investments Cause Michigan Job LossDeVos has repeatedly argued there is no connection between the company’s investment in China and layoffs in Michigan yet; several press accounts from that time paint an entirely different picture.
Amway/Alticor Had Some Tough Years Under DeVosDeVos likes to portray himself as the successful CEO. But during his tenure, Amway suffered through some tough times, enduring the first losses the company had seen in over a decade.
In contrast to the DeVos record, Governor Granholm has created a comprehensive plan to grow jobs and boost our economy, and she is working that plan. She will go anywhere and do anything to create and retain jobs in Michigan. And, she will fight to protect our families and educate our children. Governor Granholm puts Michigan first.
Michigan does not need DeVos as Governor. We need to reelect Governor Granholm. Please forward this important message to everyone you know!
If you live in Michigan I'm not tellin ya to vote for Granholm( if you do that would be cool) but you gotta know what DeVos is all about the clown have these ads talking about I can create jobs when it's not the case, the only place DeVos created jobs are in southeast Asia. I find it really funny those who are critical of Granholm are the same people who supported the former Governor John Engler who in his 3 terms expanded three things 1. his waist line 2.debt 3. his bank account. After 12 years of Engler mess the Michigan Republicans have the never to bring up debt and job lost.
