Bay City
Meanwhile, citizens in Bay City see closing the Post Office as a crucial mistake because, not only does the building house the Post Office, but it is leased to the Federal District Court and the FBI. In fact, in 2006, the Department of Homeland Security spent $1.2 million to upgrade the building:

Yesterday, Richard Leiner made a facebook fan page, with several status updates. He states on his page...

...this is going to be a low budget campaign done mostly online and with flyers and business cards. the most important tool i have at my disposal will be people talking among themselves and spreading the word. i have a number of friends who have ties to Michigan. if i talk to them and they talk to their friends and so on,... this could be a serious run. Michigan needs a voice for the common man and i can be that voice!

His established campaign email address is richard_leiner.95th@yahoo.com. A quick google search yields the following result, from a social networking site called PerfSpot:
