OUM's Latest Ad Uses Victims of 9-11 and Katrina For Their Political Gain

Equating 9-11 and MCRI cheapens the loss of the victims of 9-11 and Katrina

One United Michigan has unveiled its latest radio ad that capitalizes on the loss felt by the victims of 9-11 and Katrina to benefit their desperate political campaign.

"I simply don't know where to begin.  To think that OUM actually thinks that using the devastating loss felt by the victims of 9-11 or Katrina as a way to convince voters to preserve race preferences smacks of the worst kind of political opportunism.  9/11 was a national tragedy that took fathers and mothers from their children.  This ad is sad, sick and simply wrong. 

"Once again, the supporters of race preferences have resorted to fear and distortion as their tool. There is no place in Michigan politics for this kind of ad." said Doug Tietz.

The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative Committee (MCRI), a Michigan-based Ballot Question Committee, is dedicated to giving the people of Michigan the opportunity to end preferential treatment based on race, gender, ethnicity or national origin by state or local governments.  MCRI will make Michigan a place of equal opportunity for all, not a state that uses discrimination as a tool to create "diversity."  Achieving "diversity" should never be an excuse to discriminate!
