AFLA and Mike Robins

Over on elginite.org there is a rumor battle going on about Mike Robins and the fact that his signs say "Endorsed by AFLA" on them.

That is a true statement. We are endorsing Robins. It is posted on our website.

We also sent him a letter of endorsement.

BUT NO CHECK. We have not given Mr. Robins any money. We have not paid for his yard signs. We have not paid to print his flyers. We did not pay for his donuts or the rental of the legion hall for his meet-and-greet.

AFLA did send out announcements to our e-mail list about his event and we did mention that he was looking for places to put his yard signs. We encouraged our people to contact him and put up a sign in their yard if they felt so inclined.

To cover all our bases, Mike Robins did not give money to AFLA either.

From everything I know, Robins is doing exactly what he says he's doing; paying for his own campaign. I was at his meet-and-greet on Saturday and I can tell you that he did NOT solicit any donations from anyone and none were offered.
