From the diaries. Two years ago, I was a regular citizen, a physician serving the people of my community, and raising my family in Northern Michigan. Suddenly, I found myself answering the call to become a citizen-legislator. It occurred at a time when many of us recognized how seriously at risk our country was after the liberals had taken control of all three branches of | Read More »
This past weekend, progressive liberal groups gathered in Washington for the “One Nation” rally. It was the Democrats’ response to Glenn Beck’s “Restore Honor” rally held a month ago in DC. I watched both of them, and as I observed the supporters of the One Nation rally, their behavior and how they left the National Mall trashed, I realized what a clear choice America has | Read More »
I started this race back in January when I realized I couldn’t take it anymore. The previous year, the Democrats had passed an enormous Stimulus bill, spending nearly a trillion dollars, and they didn’t even read the bill! It was filled with payoffs and paybacks to special interest groups. This is not only typical behavior of the Democrats, but also of career establishment Republicans as | Read More »
This is it – the homestretch. Next week, our GOP primary is the first opportunity you, the people, will have to start taking back their government. MI-01 has long been represented by a career politician, Bart Stupak, who ultimately betrayed you. On Tuesday, August 3rd, a choice is to be made. Let me speak briefly about the past several months that I have been out campaigning | Read More »
We knew this would happen. We could see it coming. Yet we were unable to stop it–the Blue Dog Democrat betrayal of the unborn. Bart Stupak was the leader of a coalition that promised the people they would hold firm and stand for the unborn. Unfortunately, we know how that played out. Stupak and his coalition betrayed the people who had placed their trust in | Read More »
Read It. Reduce It. Repeal It. Reform It. Later today my first Michigan 1st District TV Ad is going to debut. In it I briefly explain my 4 R’s. I’m glad to have the opportunity to further discuss it here. We all remember the 3 R’s from grade school, and we still need them; but I am going to tell you about a different group | Read More »
I am addressing this post to my fellow citizens of MI-01, fellow activists across the country, and especially to Congressional Democrats and candidates currently serving in Congress. The word is out; Mike Allen at Politico.com had the story yesterday. This administration is going to push the Senate to pass a cap-and-trade bill this summer. Then, with the same arrogance we have seen before from this | Read More »
This past weekend we celebrated Memorial Day. We honored those that have died so that we would remain free. We can feel nothing but gratitude for the full price they paid in service to our country. The men and women of our Armed Forces today continue to serve their country in the cause of freedom. It occurred to me that our all-volunteer military today is | Read More »
We’ve been traveling this week. We’ve logged hundreds of miles and gone from town to town, meeting people of Main Street, America. I’ve talked to them in coffee shops, private homes, businesses, Republican dinners and Tea Party events. Everywhere I’ve gone, the people are speaking out and I am listening. I’ve been extremely impressed with how well-informed the people are. The topics we’ve discussed, the | Read More »
Leaving Behind 18 Years of Democratic Representation This past weekend, Americans For Prosperity sponsored the “Defending the American Dream” Summit. Hearing Sarah Palin, the keynote speaker for Conservatism, was of course the highlight. It was a wonderful opportunity to be there, listen and participate in an event which is part of a broad effort to take back our country. As I listened to the words | Read More »
