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.

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.”

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.

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. (read more...)

As expected, the U.S. House voted Sunday to approve a federal takeover of the American health care system, despite the overwhelming objections of the American people.
Next January, if I have the honor of becoming your next congressman, I pledge to work with other Republicans and other like-minded colleagues to repeal this intrusive, unconstitional legislation, and begin an effort to enact common sense reforms that will lower the price of health care for all Americans.
