Anyone who supports change and hope must vote against our current Congressmen Mark Schauer and John Dingell. Both are consistent supporters of Nancy Pelosi's agenda, including voting for Obamacare and cap and trade. Her agenda implies big change but little hope. Hope comes with less taxes and smaller government.

Our current representatives have supported the wrong type of change. They have supported expansion of government at the expense of growing business and creating jobs. The last two years has been business as usually in Congress.

Congressman Dingell is proud of the earmarks he has brought to the Ann Arbor area such as funds to repair the Stadium Boulevard bridges but Michigan sends much more money to Washington than it receives back. We need to shrink the amount of dollars going to Washington (i.e. smaller federal government) in order to allow some tax money to remain in Michigan.

I have written Congressman Schauer many times over the last two years and I don't recall receiving anything but a form response. I made suggestions on how to change our health care system and offered assistance. He didn't responded to the questions asked or issues raised.

Elections have consequences. For our future sake, for the economic prosperity for our children and grandchildren, I urge you to show the politicians that we need to reduce spending and taxes and support smaller government. The best government is that government that governs the least. Vote against our current representatives. Support hope and change. Vote for Tim Walberg and Rob Steele.
