Huizenga Denounces Latest Obama Spending

Zeeland, Mich. – U.S. Representative-candidate Bill Huizenga (R-Zeeland) today announced his opposition to President Obama’s latest “stimulus” plan that will further increase the national debt.

“More deficit spending is not the answer to our economic problems,” said Huizenga. “Democrats controlling the House, Senate and White House have tried and tried again this method, and it is clear that government spending is not the solution.”

3 Major Hoekstra Staffers Endorse Bill

Pete Hoekstra’s Former Chief of Staff Doug Koopman, Former Press Secretary Jon Brandt, and Former District Director Jerry Kooiman co-wrote a letter to the editor to show their support for Bill. Read below to find out why they’ve endorsed Bill as the best candidate.

Experience Matters

Voters in West Michigan’s 2nd Congressional District have an important choice to make in the upcoming Aug. 3 Republican Primary election. As former staffers for outgoing Congressman Pete Hoekstra, we’d like to strongly recommend Bill Huizenga as the right person to follow Pete. We believe Bill Huizenga has the right mix of experience and skills necessary to make him a Congressman who will be able to hit the ground running if he is fortunate enough to represent West Michigan in the U.S. House of Representatives.

On the Estate (or Death) Tax

For years, Republicans in Congress have been fighting for the permanent repeal of the federal estate tax, which is commonly referred to as the “death tax.”

We thought that goal was on its way to becoming a reality when former President Bush signed a law gradually increasing the size of estates that can be exempted from the death tax. That exemption topped out at $3.5 million in 2009, and there is no federal tax on estates in 2010.

Hansen, Booher endorse Huizenga for Congress

Former State Rep. Bill Huizenga continued to build momentum in his campaign for Congress today by picking up the endorsements of two veteran West Michigan lawmakers.

State Rep. Goeff Hansen (R-Hart) and State Rep. Darwin Booher (R-Evart) both announced their support for Huizenga in Michigan’s 2nd Congressional district race. Hansen and Booher are both wrapping up their third and final terms in the state House and are both candidates for the state Senate.

“The people of the 2nd Congressional district would be well-served by having Bill Huizenga representing them in the U.S. Congress,” said Hansen, who represents the 100th state House district and is seeking the 34th state Senate seat currently held by term-limited Sen. Gerald Van Woerkom.

Debt-Ridden European Nations May Foreshadow Future For U.S.

I don’t enjoy being the bearer of frightening news, but in this case I feel it’s very important.

As we all know, our federal government is reeling in debt, with our percentage of debt to gross national product getting dangerously closer all the time. That’s a recipe for short and long-term economic disaster, if we don’t move quickly to pay down our debt and improve our credit standing with the world’s financial institutions.

We received a warning of how things might turn out this week, when Greece, a European nation riddled with debt, had its credit rating dropped and desperately sought emergency loans from the German government, and other sources, to avoid financial default.
