About Erik Shelley
Job History:
After graduating from Southfield high school, I attended a number of colleges before graduating from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor's degree in Broadcasting and Cinematic Arts. I've used what I'd learned as a reporter at WAAM-AM, an Ann Arbor radio station, as a live sound engineer for Michael Charles, an Australian blues musician in Chicago, and then as an instructor at Full Sail in Orlando, Florida and the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan.
I returned to Michigan in 2001 to work in the audio post production industry. I've worked at General Television Networks in Oak Park and Three Point Productions in Novi. Currently, I am an Audio Engineer at Wall Street Productions in Southfield.
Important Issues:
Impeachment.
On its face, impeachment may seem an extreme measure with little benefit since George W. Bush has so little time left in office. But our government is built on the strong foundation of our Constitution. Moving forward, we must decide what kind of government we are going to live under. At this moment in history, only impeachment will get to the truth and repair the damage, real or perceived, that has been done to the constitution over the past 7 and a half years. How can we ever trust our government if we cannot trust the foundation upon which it is built? Only impeachment will clear away the debris, butress the foundation and restore our faith in government as Thomas Jefferson intended.
Thank you.
Candidates who are running as endorsed greens or running non-partisan campaigns that are supported by the Green Party, from local to national office, may have a free web site through this page. Green and Green-friendly campaigns that already have a web site, may still be listed in our directory with a link to their official election site. Green candidates with little or no campaign budgets and no technical support can still have their qualifications, issues, and contact information available online.
