To the Citizens of the 1st District of Michigan,
Please accept my thanks to all who supported me throughout the years. I will also fight for freedom and America.
God bless,
Don
I cannot sit quietly and watch our country being betrayed by those currently in office. I will never stop trying to defend our country from enemies both outside and within. Therefore, I declare that I will again, run for the office of the 1st District of Michigan in the Federal House of Representatives.
If you are an American conservative, I know what you want, I know exactly what you want because I want the very same things you do.
We dream of living in a free country as secure Americans, a peaceful place where we can enjoy life and prosperity without the uncertainties of incompetent government and it’s agencies, and unelected people, who insist on controlling every aspect of our lives.
Spiritually, we want to be governed exclusively by the rules set for us by God through the scriptures, and culturally, by our American Constitution and The Bill of Rights. These two directives contain the very basic fundamentals of our cultural existence, and are the total requirements necessary for human happiness in this nation as long as we choose to embrace their wisdom without restraint.
The anger of watching our freedom and liberty being destroyed by our own government beckoned me to re-dedicate myself to doing whatever I can to stop this carnage. I know I have to combat this madness in the very place where it was being formulated; the United States Congress.
Most of you know, I ran for the U.S. House of Representatives three times. It was a formidable task running against a wealthy incumbent. For me, funding was minimal and support from the party ticket was 100% non existent. Nonetheless, I have decided I will run for the U.S. House of Representatives once again, on the Republican ticket. Until a third party is assembled there is no hope that anyone can beat Congressman Stupak without running as a major party candidate.
I have much to offer the people of the 1st District; things like integrity, honesty and steadfastness. I need the support and help of the true branch of conservatives in the party. I also need the help of all the Independents from Tea Party action, and all other conservative groups. I believe this includes most of the district’s voting block because they are realize that we are in a precarious position of losing our country to an insane bunch of radical communists, led by the biggest anti-American of all, Barrack Hussein Obama. They must be defeated at all costs.
The following is a brief outline of where I stand on principles:
- Not an attorney
- Not a Politician
- A full history of personal business experience ( I too drive a truck :-)
- I am well educated on the topics
- I know correct history well
- I am experienced
- I understand how corrupt politics work and want to destroy it
- I am totally for America
- I am fully Pro-Life both from conception to Natural death
- I am not for big government - I want it downsized to minimal governance
- I want us out of the United Nations
- I am not afraid to stand up to those who want to make America into something else
- I am a true patriot and conservative - not a declared moderate or liberal non progressive
- I believe there is not place for liberals or social progressives, Marxist or Communists in American government
- I can address issues at three levels of national and international politics - voter level - congressional strata and the subterranean efforts of Anti-American communism and Islamic philosophies
- I understand the national and international monetary systems an their effects on America and the world
- I will vote no on Earmarks. I believe they are congressional blackmail and totally illegal and unconstitutional. They need to be stopped immediately.
- I believe strongly in the second amendment on gun rights
- I support producing our own fossil energy, (oil, coal, etc.)
- I believe the National Education Department needs to be abolished and our public schools under local control where it belongs.
- I believe any takeover of our health care system is unconstitutional and destructive. There are sensible solutions available from sensible people.
- I believe in a force a balanced budget that does not balance itself by increasing taxation. I believe the people should have full representation in taxation.
- I believe serving America is a privilege and as such, I would not accept any retirement payments after leaving the congress.
