DETROIT - A Detroit minister and political activist says he is dropping out of a Democratic primary campaign against veteran Congressman John Conyers.

The Rev. Horace Sheffield III says he originally filed petitions to run against Conyers because he was told the congressman was having difficulty collecting enough signatures to get on the ballot.

Sheffield says he and Conyers reached a joint decision that it's in the best interest of Detroit and the congressional district that he withdraws and supports the congressman.

1. Good. Go John!
We need HR676 -- and we need John Conyers to steer it with our House victories in November.

This is his baby -- let him keep the job long enough to see it through!
