My Name is Tom Stillings. I am a candidate for U.S. Congress from the First District of Michigan. Like most of my fellow citizens I have found it easy to sit back, and let others determine the policies of our nation. As long as America was being run like America there was no need to disturb my happy life.
Those days of complacency have passed. I see America being changed in very disturbing fashion. I see the overthrow of dearly held American values. I see disdain for that which is traditionally American.
Our leaders have lost sight of the values and principles that made America the greatest society on Earth. In their rush to false Utopia they would topple the very foundation upon which this nation stands.
From the foolish expenditure of money that we don’t have, that even our grandchildren will be unable to repay, to the travesty of abortion, to the denial and deceitful re-definition of our basic liberties including our fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of our own happiness, I have had enough. I am offering my candidacy in the hope that others who believe as I do will allow me the privilege of speaking for them.
I believe in the sanctity of human life, and that the rights of the unborn must be protected.
I believe in our form of government, which is a constitutionally limited republic. The federal government must confine itself to those functions delegated to it under the constitution.
I believe in our constitution as originally conceived and amended, including the 2nd, 9th, and 10th amendments which so many seem to have either forgotten or would ignore.
I believe that national defense is the most important responsibility of the federal government. It is the one area where spending is imperative. Without a strong defense all else is lost.
I believe that we must control spending so that we may eventually pay down our debt.
As to the more pressing issues of the day:
Our health care delivery system can best be improved by taking steps that reduce actual costs. A government takeover will result in less care at greater cost. We need a real solution based on American values and the preservation of what I believe to be the best health care in the world.
I am in favor of immigration. It is anything illegal, as in “illegal immigration” that I totally oppose.
TARP, Bailouts, and deficit spending are landmarks along the road to financial demise. We must learn to spend only what we have available, and then only when necessary. “All of the above” is never a valid choice in the selection of government spending priorities.
If you believe as I do, please honor me with your support in this endeavor. I faithfully promise that your voice will be heard, and that I will do all that is possible to put our nation back on its proper course.
Thank you.
Tom Stillings

What can you do to defeat the healthcare bill ?

Here’s where we stand as the sun rises this morning on the healthcare vote.

Democrats are still short votes by double digits.

Four Democrats from Virginia are “No” votes because of Tuesday night’s election with the wins by the GOP Governors in VA and NJ.

The American Medical Association is in deep trouble. The AMA endorsed the House bill. The state societies claim that they have the votes to win a resolution at the AMA conference, which begins tomorrow in Houston, forcing the AMA to rescind its endorsement if it doesn’t do so before the AMA meets. Obama and his aides are quick to say the American Medical Association endorses their plan, but they fail to note that the AMA represents only a fraction of American doctors.

The fate of the Stupak amendment is still up in the air, which bars any federally subsidized insurance plan from covering abortions, including any public plan set up to compete with private insurers. Pelosi is arm twisting the 40 strong Stupak pro-life dem's, by pushing the phony Ellsworth amendment. This amendment is designed to subsidize and expand the abortion industry cloaked in deceptive language, with instead of a Health and Human Services employee issuing checks for elective abortions, HHS will pay a contractor to issue checks for abortion on demand. They want to call it something else, but no matter what they call it, a federal agency paying for abortions -- that's federal funding of abortion, no matter what you call it.

Blue Dogs had dinner at the White House last night. We’ll see how many flip to Obama’s side.

What can you do ?......The vote is scheduled for 6pm Saturday

Call your congressman right now....Bart Stupak DC office (202) 225 4735 or email here http://www.house.gov/stupak/IMA/issue2.htm

House call for Rep. Bart Stupak in Petoskey MI 11-5-09


30 taxpayers made a house call to the Petoskey Michigan office
of Rep. Bart Stupak at noon today. We shared with the Congressman's
staff our disagreement with Bart's support for the Pelosi Healthcare bill.

We don't want government controlled healthcare and we can't afford the
over 1 trillion dollar expense. With government bankrupting Social Security,
Medicare, Medicaid, and the Postal Service, our elected officials have
proven themselves as incompetent, and with "this game" on the
line, we surely have the right to expect touchdowns, not fumbles for our tax dollars.

Additionally, many called Bart out as a smooth doublespeaker and deceiver;
after he was recently caught at a local townhall meeting trying to have it both
ways on health care reform and abortion. This was publicized on heritage.org
and FoxNews here. http://www.foxnews.com/search-results/m/27149960/political-grapevine-10-29.htm#q=stupak
