LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – With an eye towards 2024 and the elections, the Michigan Democrat Party is focused on fundraising for their party’s candidates, whether it’s in support of incumbents, new candidates or fundraising for those who might have recall elections on the horizon.

At the same time, the Michigan GOP, headed up by Chairwoman Kristina Karamo, is sending out emails soliciting whistleblowers, possibly trying to hitch her wagon onto the media spotlight of the national whistleblower hearings that have recently been conducted by the Republicans in the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

The MIGOP email also comes a little more than a week after Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel charged 16 Republican electors, mostly senior citizens, with criminal felonies for allegedly trying to award the states’s Electoral College votes to former President Donald Trump in 2020 despite his 154K+ loss to Biden in the state. Kamaro has responded to the charges by saying that Nessel was displaying “authoritarian tendencies and ambitions” and accused her of weaponizing her office.

In a latest email blast from the party, the MIGOP says, “Throughout history, authoritarians have never risen to power alone. They have always had enablers who help them carry out their agenda of abusing citizens. There are patriotic individuals within the FBI, DHS, and Michigan AG’s office who have been compartmentalized while corrupt individuals carry out their oppressive plans. It is crucial that these patriotic members of our government agencies speak out against these actions.”

The email goes on to say, “Whistleblowers are the heroes that make it possible to expose authoritarians, such as AG Nessel, to the general public. Only a small number of people in Michigan fully understand the fight for our freedom. However, the Michigan Republican Party, under new leadership, is working to restore our party to its constitutional principles and is committed to winning this battle. We need your help to achieve this goal.”

The MIGOP concludes the email by saying, “Whistleblowers must be encouraged to come forward and expose any aspiring tyrants within our government. They should not be afraid to step out of the shadows. The public needs to know the truth so that our children and grandchildren can inherit the blessings of freedom.”

Near the bottom of their email, the MIGOP has an email address to send whistleblower information to and then, almost as an afterthought, there is a small donation button under the phrase “Let’s rise up and lawfully resist these tyrants.”

With only about $93,000 reported to be in the MIGOP bank account, it appears that Karamo’s tenure since becoming the Chair in January could be judged as a complete failure if fundraising is her main job. With the state’s political, legislative, judicial and executive control in the hand of Democrats, having a near-barren bank account does not bode well as a successful way to help elect Republicans into local, statewide and federal offices. For her part, Karamo told the Detroit Free Press back in April, “Things are, I would say, worse than I expected…We’re really building the party from the ground up,” and “it’s essentially a startup.”

Over and over again, a majority of the MIGOP chairperson candidates who campaigned across the state in 2022 said that one of their main jobs would be to fundraiser for the party, especially Karamo’s opponent in the race, attorney Matt DePerno, who lost to Karamo 58-42% in a vote by Michigan’s Republican precinct delegates.

Michigan News Source reached out to DePerno about the state of the MIGOP and their fundraising efforts. He said, “The Michigan Republican Party has been infiltrated by people who call themselves ‘The New Republicans.’ They do not understand the purpose of a political party or the basic blocking and tackling strategies necessary to win elections. They admittedly care absolutely nothing about raising money. Instead, their main goal is to burn down the party.”

He continued, “But why? The reality is these infiltrators are Democrats, Third-Party members and anarchists. Their goal is to create internal conflict in every district across the state. But it’s far worse than you describe. Presently, the most corrupt attorney general in the country, Dana Nessel is using her $118 million dollar budget in Michigan to investigate Republicans. While the Republicans fight with infiltrators about bylaws and internal ‘policy,’ the Democrats are dropping felonies on Republicans.”

Michigan News Source also reached out to the MIGOP about the email they sent and whether they had received any responses but they did not return our request for comment.

So while the MIGOP appears to be using their time and energy to condemn and target AG Nessel for political persecution, the state’s Democrat party seems in control of an aggressive strategy to win more elections. In the latest email sent out by the MIDEMS on Tuesday, they sounded the alarm on needing to turn out Michigan Democrats for control of the U.S. House which they say is currently a toss-up. They warn their supporters that the “future of our nation” is at stake and that they must rush money to the party to “start building our winning strategy to elect Michigan Democrats up and down the ballot.” They have donation buttons for $10, $25, $50, $100, $250 and more with a goal to raise $15,000 in their “Take the House Back Fund” before the end of the month on Monday. They stressed they need to money to defeat “GOP extremists on the ballot in 2024.”

Also, as an added note pertaining to the competency and awareness of the MIGOP in their marketing and donation strategies, it seems relevant to point out that the email that was sent out by the party, although correct in the spelling of the term “whistleblower” in the body of the text, inaccurately calls for “whistle blower’s” to come forward in the subject line of the email. Some might say that even the smallest mistakes can prove costly when an organization is trying to convey professionalism and win the confidence of voters and their money.
