All you need to know about Jason Allen is that he's owned by the SEIU who in their own bylaws state that control of the health care industry is their goal.

On Aug. 5, 2009, Sen. Jason Allen, R-Traverse City, introduced Senate Bill 731, which would give statutory cover to a scheme transferring approximately $6.6 million in taxpayer money annually to the SEIU government employee union, one of the parents of ACORN. This is accomplished by creating a shell government "employer" for some 42,000 individuals who are actually hired by elderly or disabled Medicaid recipients to provide personal care services in their homes. A Mackinac Center lawsuit is pending regarding a similar arrangement imposed on home day care providers.

Snip

passing the bill was part of a quid-pro-quo between Senate Republicans and the SEIU for union support of former state representative Mike Nofs in a November 2009 special election, which state Republican Party Chair Ron Weiser had characterized as among the party's top priorities. Day observes that the SEIU endorsed Nofs on August 22nd, two weeks after SB 731 was introduced, and sent four full-time workers to help on his campaign.


GOP Senators, SEIU Taxpayer Giveaways, Campaign Cash and More, OH MY!

deary me, yeah I know about this cripplecreek, methinks Allen is right now trying to come up with a good reason why he did that....something having to do with the abuse of the elderly, which I believe he will use to scare the older folks in the first. Just my opinion.

We’re in serious need of a good hard scrubbing in Lansing as well as DC.

Rooney skipping the right to life banquet to go fund raising with the main street republicans doesn’t look good at all.

A few basic questions:

Who is Jason Allen?

Is Stupak's seat officially vacant now?

If so, what is the date for the special election to fill it?

Stupak lame-ducked himself. He’s seated until the next election.

How’s Dr. Benishek’s name I.D. doing?

I think he’s probably better known than Allen.

Your link refers to "the office formerly held by Bart Stupak." I presume, from your other post, that it is incorrect since you state that Stupak will serve out his term as a lame duck and is still in office until next Juanuary.

Am I correct to infer that Benishek and Allen will face off in a Republican primary? If so, when would that happen?
