Here's your Saturday morning update from the campaign trail:

• Battle Creek Enquirer Campaign notebook: Schauer: Halt robocalls. "Schauer's invitation to incumbent U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton, went out Thursday — the same day a series of negative attack calls were starting in the district by independent political group Freedom's Watch against Schauer's position on drilling for oil."
• Battle Creek Enquirer Letters: Mr. Walberg Wants It Both Ways. "Today I just received a summer newsletter to the residents of Michigan's 7th district published by Tim Walberg and his staff. In his paper Mr. Walberg stated he is supporting efforts to preserve and protect the Great Lakes of Michigan. I find this rather odd given the fact that he has supported drilling for oil in it!"
• Jackson Citizen Patriot: Officials want Jackson on high-speed rail. "State Sen. Mark Schauer, who participated in Friday's discussion, said, if extended to Jackson, the rail would help Jackson foster business growth and establish stronger connections with the major cities to the east. 'This is the start of a discussion that will get broader in the community,' said Schauer, D-Battle Creek, who is challenging U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg for his 7th District seat in Congress. 'With high gas prices we need transportation alternatives.'"
• WLNS: Big Money For Brooklyn. "Race action is underway in the Irish hills for the second big summer weekend of NASCAR events at Michigan International Speedway. For stock car fans, it's almost a ritual, as the small town of Brooklyn is cashing in." Keep an eye out for Mark at the race tomorrow – he'll be there as an honorary official.
• Walberg Watch: Walberg: Iraq, 9/11 Connected. This is a talking point that has been de-bunked over and over again. Congressman, the seventh district deserves better.
• Adrian Daily Telegram: Mailing costs taxpayers. "Shame on you, Tim Walberg! In your latest mailing to “The Findlay Family” you state: “I repeatedly hear concerns from constituents about high gas prices. Family budgets are strained” etc. How much were we, the taxpayers, forced to pay for this request for a “pat on the back”? Yes, on the lower left corner it states: “This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense.” If Tim and his cohorts wish to help the family budget they could stop this type of waste of the taxpayers’ budget. I’m miffed.
