Let's all spread the word and make this as big a possible for one of the liberty movement's most promising rising stars.

Friends,

On April 18, my 31st birthday, will you please join countless other defenders of liberty by contributing $31 to my campaign? I am fighting for you, and I need your help.

When I got to Congress, I expected to find out-of-control spending, endless waste, and reckless disregard for the wise limits on government that our Founders placed in the Constitution.

It's worse than I expected.

Our government is spending our way into a bleak future, borrowing billions of dollars a day at the cost of our children's and grandchildren's well-being.

Our government is putting Washington insiders in charge of the most basic areas of our lives from health care to education.

Our government is illegally prying into the private lives of law-abiding Americans, eroding our liberty under the pretext of security.

Our government is operating under a dysfunctional process that has Members of Congress voting on legislation they haven't been given an opportunity to read.

It has to stop. You can help stop it with your donation of $31 on April 18.

In my first three months as a U.S. Representative, I have fought for constitutionally limited government, economic freedom, individual liberty, and congressional transparency. And people are taking notice—unfortunately, not all of them want me to succeed.

Help me continue my efforts on behalf of liberty with your donation of $31 for my 31st birthday on April 18. Please visit http://amashforcongress.com/ to make your generous contribution—up to a maximum of $2,500 per person. Together, we can empower people, not government.

Your friend in liberty,

Justin Amash
 
Fortunately, Justin's seat is very safe. If I hear otherwise, though, I'll gladly contribute.

This is not a safe seat

Fortunately, Justin's seat is very safe. If I hear otherwise, though, I'll gladly contribute.

This is not a true statement. This is an extremely vulnerable seat in the primaries. Yes, it is a safe Republican seat but there are very strong forces who want to see Amash gone. He is a first term congressman in a redistricting year with many establishment GOPers who are still sore over him winning last year.

The weaker he looks on paper (ie, the amount of cash on hand) the more likely he will face a stiff challenger. I think a quality challenge is almost 90% likely right now but if he shows the ability to raise money, possibly he can scare some people away.

If he wins the next primary then I suspect he will coast for a while. However, his votes are viewed with suspicion by many of the 'regular' party types here and this puts him at risk. Remember, this is Gerald Ford's old congressional seat which is the very definition of establishment Republican.

THIS THIS THIS ^^^

Couldn't have said it better!

In the 90s - when he ran to get back into Congress after his "hiatus" - Ron Paul was the target of a highly concerted effort by the establishment GOP to prevent his (re-)election.

They really put their weight behind the effort. Fortunately, they failed - otherwise, we wouldn't be where we are today. No Ron Paul for President, no Senator Paul, no R[EVOL]UTION, no Tea Party - nothing.

We can't let them do to Justin what they tried to do to Ron. Whatever happens in 2012, I don't think it's possible to over-emphasize how important it is to keep Amash in Congress.

Ron Paul won't be in Congress much longer. If nothing else (such as moving to the White House), he'll be retiring sometime in the too-near future. We simply can't afford to lose anyone else in Congress or the state legislatures. Not Rand Paul. Not Glen Bradley. And not Justin Amash. There's still a long way to go & the RINOs are going to do everything they can to stop us.
 
Carl Cameron of Fox News mentioned Justin last nights saying "Republican Congressman Justin Amash is saying there will be a government shutdown". Nothing really anything of substance, just the first time I've ever heard Justin's name mentioned in the MSM.
 
@Occam's Banana, you're absolutely right. The advantages of having a young'n like Justin Amash stay in Congress and continue to spread the liberty message for many years to come are clear. If we do not support him now, we may deeply regret it later. The more allies of the people and the Constitution that we have in Congress, the better. I think Dr. Paul would agree with me here.
 
Just went in for $100.00.

Wish it could have been more, but I gotta save some back for May 5th ... :D

Ticker is at $3592.12.
