Mike Rogers thinks representing mortgage lenders is more important than taking care of the voters in Michigan’s 8th Congressional District.
Mike Rogers (R-Brighton) was once again on the wrong side of the issue when he voted against a bill to help American homeowners. The bill, which passed the House (272-152), authorized funding to help up to 400,000 families keep their homes and contained $3.9 billion in local government grants to purchase and rehab foreclosed properties in at-risk neighborhoods. In addition, the bill provided tax credits for new homeowners and federal support for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The support for Freddie and Fannie is tied to new regulation of the mortgage giants, including the power to limit executive compensation at the companies. Read More

Change is coming to Mid-Michigan, and Bob Alexander is leading the way.
Bob believes Mid-Michigan deserves a representative who understands that the serious challenges facing its citizens require real solutions and immediate action. He wants to foster America’s energy independence, protect the environment, and safeguard Michigan jobs. So when it came time to say goodbye to his 1995 Ford Escort – all 256,000 miles of it – Bob chose the Chevy Malibu hybrid: an American car driven by American innovation.
Made right here in the United States, the state-of-the-art Malibu Hybrid has a better MPG rating and a smaller carbon footprint than the Honda Accord. It reflects Bob’s dedication to American jobs, energy innovation, and environmental stewardship. Read More

LANSING, Michigan — Late yesterday, Congress easily overrode President Bush’s veto of the 2008 Medicare bill, and avoided drastic cuts to health care providers. Over 150 House Republicans voted for the override, but Rep. Mike Rogers (MI-08) was not among them.
Rogers strongly supports the current system of hefty payments to private insurance companies at the expense of doctors who care for elderly and disabled patients. Read More
