ANSING, MI -- Michigan Republican National Committeeman Dave Agema has cancelled plans to attend this week's GOP meeting in Washington amidst growing calls for his resignation.

"My liberal critics within the Republican Party have chosen to elevate this discussion to the RNC Meeting and make it a drawn out fight between liberals and conservatives within the party," Agema said in a statement provided to MLive.

"For this reason, I have decided it is best for the party that I not attend the meeting this week and instead have sent a proxy who will vote how I want on the Rules."

Word of Agema's no-show at the RNC meeting sparked internet rumors that he had resigned. But Kevin Heine, chief strategist for iCaucus Michigan, said Wednesday afternoon that he had talked directly with Agema, who told him the rumors were false.

It is a shame what the GOP-e is doing to this guy. He should be a presidential contender, not an outcast! I am positive the vast majority of patriots think as he does.

Next time Dave, use the Centers for Disease Control own statistics about homosexuality:

That will shut the haters up.

I keep swinging the hammer and trying to get tea partiers out to elect tea partiers to the RNC.

In reality this isn't even about Dave Agema so much as it is Terri Land who is running for the senate seat. Liberals and "moderates" are screeching for her to denounce Agema and she refuses.

If I had my way, Agema would be governor of Michigan and running for president in 2016. He is OUR KIND of candidate!

One of the recent fights was because Agema exposed the RNC game of putting things in the party platform with every intent to support the exact opposite.

AG Bill Schutte or SOS Ruth Johnson would make fine governors as well.

Doing to him just what they did to Joe McCarthy when he dared to tell the truth.

Liberals threw a tantrum a few years ago when Dave Agema introduced a bill in the legislature that required constitutional literacy as a requirement for graduating high school.

The government is full of communists. That is why the commies had to destroy McCarthy. He was plugged into the soviet code and he knew where their agents were and who they were. He set them back a bit before they got him.

She’s simply not expressing an opinion on Dave Agema despite liberals screeching for her to do so. From what I’ve seen her only comment was that she basically believes in the equality for all.

Spencer Abraham lost his seat because enough of the base stayed home because of his open borders agenda. The Senate candidate will do worse if they think amnesty is a moderate position.

Priebus and the RNC say they care about workers.

I think she disagrees, but does not want him to resign.

They should turn this into a debate about the same RINO’s who weren’t behind the affirmative action ballot measure in Michigan. I thought this was about treating people equally.

Snyder is a big open borders and tech lobby supporter.
