Dear friends,

39 years ago today, many of our heroes stood on the Edmund Pettis bridge in Selma, Alabama.   They stood boldly in the face of Alabama State Troopers to protect the right to vote for all American citizens.

The commitment and bravery of those citizens inspired me to dedicate my career to working to eliminate barriers to voting and preserve the integrity of our elections.  That’s why I’m announcing today that I am forming a committee to explore a run for Michigan Secretary of State in 2010. 

I believe that with the right leadership, Michigan can become the national leader for ethical government and excellence in election administration. We need to put aside partisanship and implement common sense reforms that will help us promote fair elections.  And with your help, we can build a campaign focused on doing just that.

Please visit our website, www.VoteBenson.com and get involved.  Make a contribution.  Volunteer to host a house party.  Share an idea on how we can improve elections in Michigan.   We need your ideas, your energy, and your shared commitment to fighting for change. 

Your friend,
Jocelyn
