Tea Party Patriots Unite Behind Mike Bouchard
Bouchard announces his Tea Party Coalition

Oakland County – Mike Bouchard, Republican candidate for governor, today announced his Tea Party Coalition comprised of numerous prominent Tea Party members from across the state. This announcement comes just days after “Americas Toughest Sheriff” Joe Arpaio endorsed Mike Bouchard for governor.

“I am so pleased to have the support of these patriots,” said Bouchard. “They run a true grassroots effort in Michigan to protect our personal freedom and I applaud their efforts. I am a true constitutionalist and whether it is our state’s rights, personal property rights or the right to bear arms the federal government will know if they come to Michigan trying to trample our rights it will have a fight on its’ hands under a Bouchard administration.”

Bouchard also gained attention for being the first in Michigan to stand with Arizona for enforcing their own illegal immigration law when the federal government failed to secure our borders and called for Michigan to adopt similar legislation.

“Sheriff Bouchard is a true leader that has a proven track record of being a freedom fighter,” said Janice Daniels of the Troy Area Tea Party. “His knowledge of the constitution and his willingness to enforce it is why Michigan needs Mike Bouchard as governor. The Troy Area Tea Party is pounding the pavement for Sheriff Bouchard!”

“I have been fighting for tougher illegal immigration laws for Michigan for years and the only candidate who has been by my side is Sheriff Mike Bouchard,” said Tamrya Lynn Murray of the Frankenmuth Tea Party. “Sheriff Bouchard has been leading this issue before it was popular and I thank him for his service. I know Michigan will be a better place to live if Mike Bouchard is governor.”
