Why am I posting this in Grassroots Central? Because after Ron Paul is gone, there will only be one man to take up his mantle in the House of Representatives. That man is Michigan Congressman Justin Amash, a true defender of liberty who has endorsed Ron Paul. AND HE NEEDS OUR HELP!
Justin Amash has just garnered a serious challenger, and it hasn't been posted anywhere on these forums. I was shocked to read it, because I occasionally google Amash to see what's going on with him. THIS IS FREAKING IMPORTANT. READ ON...
The Challenger
Amash's challenger is a guy named Steve Pestka, a former state representative and Circuit Court Judge for Kent County, MI.
A recent Politico article, released before Pestka officially announced, describes how Democrats see Amash as vulnerable:
Here is an article about Pestka's announcement of candidacy.
This guy is a formidable challenger and if this becomes an Obama election year, his district (which has become more swing-y) might well be in jeopardy. THIS IS THE TIME FOR OUR LIBERTY ACTIVISTS TO RISE UP AND DEFEND ONE OF OUR OWN. If we can't defend someone like Justin Amash when he needs our help, how can we possibly expect to elect MORE liberty-minded representatives?
What We Can Do to Help
FIRST and MOST IMPORTANTLY at this critical early juncture, you can DONATE to Justin Amash's reelection campaign by clicking here. EVEN A FEW DOLLARS HELPS! Give what you can!
You can also sign up for his e-mail list to be informed about his campaign goings-on by clicking here.
You can also e-mail or call the campaign. The e-mail address is [email protected]. The phone number is 616-719-1935. Ask about how you can volunteer your services to the campaign, particularly if you live in or near Justin's district (around the Grand Rapids, MI area).
Here is the Ron Paul meetup group for Grand Rapids, MI. Contact these folks and ask them how you can help reelect Justin Amash to Congress.
Here is the Campaign for Liberty website for Michigan. If you are in Michigan and signed up for C4L, start rallying the troops!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST...
Contact the Club for Growth and ask them to again endorse and help fund Justin Amash's campaign, as they did so critically in 2010. The Club for Growth helped Justin Amash win in 2010 and they can again, with their significant influence and financial resources. Justin has scored an astounding 100% on the most recent Club for Growth congressional scorecard, so there's a decent chance that if enough of us speak up, they might help him again!
Here's an example of what Club for Growth did for Justin in 2010 (an ad against one of his primary opponents):
Why Does This Matter?
Ron Paul won't be around forever, and when he is not in Congress anymore, we need committed representatives who fight for liberty every single day. Justin Amash is the rare congressman who, like Ron Paul, never compromises on the principles of life, liberty, and property and has not, and will not let us down!
We know Justin. We know what he's done, and we know who he really is. He walks the walk.
We need to do everything we can to help him get reelected, or else, what can we really say we've done to grow the cause of liberty in our country?
Stand with me to help reelect Justin Amash. Donate if you can, or at least volunteer some of your time to his campaign. Maybe we can set up a phone from home for him. Maybe we can get people near Michigan to go help out. Hell, I don't know. We are all smart grassroots volunteers, we will think of something. But we have to, folks. We have to do something to make sure Justin Amash stays in Congress.
We have to defend one of the only defenders of liberty we have.
For liberty!
