LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to speak Friday in Grand Rapids to the Police Officers Association of Michigan and accept the group's endorsement, a Bush campaign spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Cheney plans to speak at 1 p.m. EDT during the association's annual convention at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.
Cheney isn't the only Bush administration member in the state this week. Secretary of Education Rod Paige will be in Michigan Thursday to speak during the opening session of the Detroit Regional Chamber's Mackinac Policy Conference on Mackinac Island.
Bush last campaigned in Michigan on May 3 during a bus tour that took him to Niles, Kalamazoo and Sterling Heights.
Cheney's last visit to Michigan came a year ago when he attended a June 30 Bush-Cheney '04 fund-raiser in Grand Rapids, campaign spokeswoman Merrill Smith said.
The FOP is the big one.
I see the AP just can't use the words "police union endorses Bush-Cheney."
Real Cops are Conservative.
Well, that's a block from my office and also right in the middle of a huge Arts Festival. It should be a complete, but welcome zoo. I saw the President in Kalamazoo but this event doesn't look open to the general public.
My democrat congresscritter, Bart Stupak, was a cop in his former life...........................At least he is pro-life.
Oooh. I forgot about Festival. That's this weekend?!
Yes, first weekend of June. I think it officially opens Friday at noon, but I'm not certain.
