Michael Firsching is running for the Illinois 13th, currently represented by Rodney Davis. There are six people running between the two major parties. I am clearly the small government, anti warfare, end the Fed, end deficit spending person in the field. If you want more government and more...

I doubt anyone can take some beef and run a test to tell you if it came from an animal fed GMO or not. Typical grocery store beef comes from cattle fed at a feedlot for a couple of months. They tend to have a higher fat percentage which increases the tenderness. When working on a cattle ranch...

My race is interesting as there are seven candidates between the two major parties. On the Republican side there is a one term incumbent with a large warchest, a former Miss America who worked in Chicago as an attorney, and myself. I am a veterinarian with a terrific background. I own my...

I am Michael Firsching. I am running in the Republican primary the 18th of March. My positions are the strongest liberty positions of anyone running for federal office in the State of Illinois. Please like and share my facebook if you agree (Mike Firsching for Congress). Around 20 to 25% of...

Transfer fees would be more fair than property tax. Transfer fees are applied whenever money exchanges hands. Transfer fees are more fair than sales taxes. Sales taxes hit lower income harder. Transfer fees would apply to the use of money for all purposes.

I am at 96 kilos. My favorite shoe is the Asics Cumulus. I can get it in 4E and it has very good cushioning. I run 5-6 days a week alternating sprints and shorter distances of a mile or two.

The OP is just stating old fashioned political rhetoric. "We all need to be in this together!" On this site there is plenty of disagreement as to what principles we can all agree upon. Being honest is a good thing. I wonder if we can agree to what that is. The one thing we all agree upon...

The best forum I know for political discussion across all political spectrums is americasdebate.com. It is moderated with good debate policies. It is not what you say but how you say it.

I do not like the tired old philosophy of voting for the lesser of two evils. Between Ron Paul and Gary Johnson we do not have two evils. We have two goods. Ron Paul is solid on economics and Gary Johnson is weaker. On many issues Gary Johnson is on top of of the principles of smaller...

The conclusion to the nomination process has been reached. Two weeks ago, 8 people who submitted interest via a questionaire, were interviewed for 45 minutes each on that Saturday. Four were selected as finalists. I, Mike Firsching, was not one of them. There were two congressional staffers...

The process now...the Republican county precinct chairmen will gather and pick a replacement. The votes are weighted by the number of Republican voters in each county. Counties are holding elections in a few weeks to choose their chairmen. There is no official date when the vote for the...

Tim Johnson is dropping out.

AOK I am whole heartedly with you on 435/33/1 strategy. Our quibble seems to be around whether people should put primary elections efforts into their own district's candidates or if their congressional efforts should be decided on a national basis. Definitely people should know all there is...

I had not previously seen mention of the 435/33 strategy. I recognize the 435 as the number in the House. What is the 33 and what is the strategy?

Nathan Hale, I hear what you are saying about the 'limited core liberty movement donor pool'. There is no single congressional race where the national pool can be directed which will make much difference in the big picture. It is logical. I appreciate your interest and support in my...
