Rollins Mixes Business with Politics

Filed in National by on April 11, 2010

So new GOP Congressional candidate Michele Rollins sent out an e-mail to her list (below) with a phone number to her campaign. But when you call that number, you get the answering machine machine message for “Rollins Jamaica.” You see, Michele Rollins is chairman of Rollins Jamaica, a 7,000-acre complex of luxury hotels, residences and golf courses near Montego Bay, Jamaica. This is in addition to her serving on the board of directors of Wilmington Trust Company, which of course allowed her to take outrageous bonuses at the tax payer’s expense.

So is she she shafting the tax payer’s again with this latest endeavor? Is her political campaign nothing more than a mission to get new business for Rollins Jamaica to further expand her wallet?

Below is the email she sent out to supporters, along with the DELAWARE phone number for her campaign, which leads to her JAMAICA business. You have to wonder at her priorities, even during this campaign, yet alone if God forbid she is elected to represent us. What will be her first concern, Delaware, or her business interests in Jamaica?

Call it right now, and you will get the Rollins Jamaica message. And in case they take down the message in the next few hours, here is the audio of the answering machine message:

I would like to thank you for taking your time to talk about my running for Congress. Your opinions and thoughts have been very helpful for me in making an informed decision about seeking our party’s nomination for Congress.

I strongly disagree with the direction of the Obama administration and the Congress. The passage of the health care legislation on March 21st was, frankly, the last straw.

While the Democrats in Congress spent months pushing through their health care bill, the number one problem in the country, and here in Delaware, the lack of good jobs was relegated to the back burner.

Without a decent job, there is no family security.

As a long-time party activist, I have worked with many of you to build support and raise campaign funds for Republican candidates. I have never been a candidate. While I know that one person alone cannot make a difference, I believe that one person with the dedicated help of many can.

Today I will file the necessary legal documents to become a candidate for our Party’s nomination for Congress. I know the task ahead is difficult and challenging. I can’t do it without you. I need your help and support.

I’m asking you for that support and look forward to our working together.

Please let me know you’re ideas and thoughts. You can contact me directly at 302-426-9489 or at michele@michelerollinscongress2010.com

My thanks for your support.

    Bush league. ( To the wing nuts, that’s a little thing I like to call double entendre.).

  2. Mike Matthews says:

    Wow…that’s just terribly sloppy on Rollins’s part as well as her GOP handlers.

  3. nemski says:

    Well, she is looking to be the first Representaive from Jamaica in the U.S. Congress.

  4. So…. does this mean she is in favor of legalizing Marijuana? Maybe I should look into this a bit…

  5. Jason330 says:

    From the email it looks like she is running on allowing issuance companies to deny coverage. I don’t think her Jamican constiuents will be very pleased to hear that. they have single payer national health insurance. Why does she think we deserve a corrupt for profit system that is expensive and delivers shitty results. Oh wait. She is a Republican. Nevermind.

  6. Yes, it’s very sloppy. Why didn’t they change her phone message? Will Rollins do an absentee campaign like Bill Lee?

  7. So, I’m not clear on this. Is Rollins running on repeal health care reform?

  8. jpconnorjr says:

    A nice lady who knows a lot about politics but abdolutely NOTHING about being IN politics.

  9. anonone says:

    Hey, Mon. Ah sey one.

  10. Your big issue for today is that you don’t like Michelle Rollins’ voicemail. Ok. Not much here, see you tomorrow.

  11. delacrat says:

    Castle versus Rollins.

    The trust fund kid and the real estate mogul.

    Bush was right when he said the GOP is the party of the “haves and have-mores”.

  12. Truth Teller says:

    Her photo reminds me of a picture of Page Evans years ago she to had he mouth open

  13. anon says:

    David – It’s not that someone doesn’t like the answering machine message. It’s that Rollins is mixing business with politics. That is super-duper sloppy for someone who’s running for Congress and has the party leadership behind her. I might expect that kind of amateurism from one of the other dwarves, but not her.

    @delacrat. Only a Cynthia McKinney voter would call Mike Castle a “trust fund kid.”
