Club for Growth has endorsed him: http://clubforgrowth.org/endorsedcandidates/

WASHINGTON – Club for Growth PAC has announced its endorsement of state legislator Justin Amash in the race to represent Michigan’s third congressional district.

“Justin Amash is a name pro-growth conservatives are going to hear and know for a long time,” said Club President Chris Chocola. “Amash epitomizes a new breed of limited government conservatives committed to breaking Washington’s addiction to deficits and debt, and freeing a rising, entrepreneurial generation to rescue our economy and our nation from political mismanagement.”

“In Lansing, Amash has fought against tax increases – even those supported by his fellow Republicans – and advocated for greater accountability and transparency, swearing off earmarks and even explaining his every legislative vote on his Facebook page. His election to Congress would not only mark a philosophical victory for those who believe in limited government and economic growth, but a cultural victory for those who believe in straight-forward, transparent democracy.”

Amash is the 13th candidate Club for Growth PAC has endorsed in the 2010 election cycle. He joins Senators Jim DeMint (S.C.) and Tom Coburn (Okla.), Congressman Tom Graves (GA-09), Senate candidates Sharron Angle (Nev.), Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Pat Toomey (Pa.), and House candidates Kevin Calvey (OK-05), Tim Huelskamp (KS-01), Mike Pompeo (KS-04), Robin Smith (TN-03), Jeff Duncan (SC-03), and Tim Scott (SC-01).

Ron Paul has endorsed him: http://www.businesswire.ca/portal/s...d=news_view&newsId=20100621006745&newsLang=en

LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Congressman Ron Paul has endorsed State Rep. Justin Amash in the race for Michigan’s 3rd Congressional district.

“We believe that Justin Amash is the best candidate in this race and is best poised to win in both the primary and general elections. We hope the people of Michigan will send this fine conservative leader to Washington at a time when he is sorely needed.”

Said Dr. Paul, “I am proud to endorse Justin Amash for United States Congress.

“Justin Amash in one of the most principled young leaders I have seen in a generation. Justin will do the work to fight for lower taxes and spending and for more freedom in Washington. We need people like Justin voting with me in Congress.
“Justin Amash understands our Constitution and will fight against out-of-control government to restore our Liberty. Justin has the courage to stand up against the bailouts and government takeovers being forced down our throats by Washington insiders.

“In addition to his impeccable voting record and tremendous personal integrity, I have been thoroughly impressed by Justin’s commitment to transparency. Justin draws back the shroud of secrecy that Big Government uses to confuse our fellow citizens and shows his constituents, plainly and clearly, what our tax dollars are paying for.

“The American people need more than just another vote. We need a man of principle who will always stand up for what is right. We need a citizen politician who will represent US. Justin Amash is just that kind of individual.”

Said Liberty PAC director Jesse Benton, “We believe that Justin Amash is the best candidate in this race and is best poised to win in both the primary and general elections. We hope the people of Michigan will send this fine conservative leader to Washington at a time when he is sorely needed.”

Legislator Posts Votes on Facebook. All of Them.

A strangely beautiful sight.

Justin Amash is running for Congress as a Republican in Michigan. He's currently a state legislator. And as part of his campaign for higher office [UPDATE: He's been posting votes for a year], he's posting every one of his votes on Facebook, with a short account of why he voted the way the did. A casual visitor to Amash's page can learn that he voted against a pilot program for ignition interlocks and against an increase in the school budget. Michiganders and others can comment on the votes or the reasoning directly below the posting. Meanwhile, a quick glance at his info page shows that he's a member of St. Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church and that his motto is the cheesy but nicely punctuated "Principled. Consistent. Conservative."

The fact that this idea is novel—his press release claims that he is the first legislator to post all of his votes on Facebook—shows how far we are from a real, voluntary culture of disclosure in our legislatures.

FreedomWorks has endorsed him: http://www.businesswire.com/portal/...d=news_view&newsId=20100729007059&newsLang=en

FreedomWorks PAC Endorses Justin Amash, Candidate in Michigan’s Third Congressional District
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FreedomWorks PAC is pleased to announce its addition of conservative Justin Amash, congressional candidate in Michigan’s third District, to the Take America Back in 2010 campaign leading up to November. Amash earned the “Champion of Freedom” endorsement for his unwavering commitment to a limited government, free market agenda.

“When limited-government conservatives take back the majority in Washington this year, I am confident that Justin Amash will be among those leading the way.”
.Since 2008, Justin Amash has served the public as a member of the Michigan State House of Representatives, where he witnessed firsthand the stagnant and ineffective nature of an overreaching government. For this reason, Justin opposes all unnecessary tax hikes and encroachments on individual freedom, including Obamacare and the trillion dollar Obama “stimulus” bill.

FreedomWorks PAC applauds Justin Amash for his impressive history of transparency while serving the people of Michigan. Having never missed a vote, Amash publishes the upcoming voting agenda online, publishes all of his votes online in real-time on Facebook and Twitter, and directly responds to questions and comments regarding his votes.

FreedomWorks PAC will support the Amash campaign by organizing numerous Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts, including direct mailings, yard sign distribution, volunteer phone banks and neighborhood literature drops leading up to election day.

“The moral character and unwavering loyalty to limited government principles that Justin Amash has displayed during his career as a legislator in Michigan is exactly what Washington needs right now,” commented Matt Kibbe, President of FreedomWorks PAC.

“When limited-government conservatives take back the majority in Washington this year, I am confident that Justin Amash will be among those leading the way.”

For more information about this race and others that FreedomWorks PAC will be targeting in 2010 as part of the Take America Back campaign, please visit the PAC website, http://FreedomWorksPAC.org/ or contact FreedomWorks PAC Managing Director Rob Jordan at (202) 942-7624.

Great post, Michigan 11.

People need to wake up and see just how realistic Amash's chances of winning are. He is in a dead heat and some sources have him as the front runner. With support from the liberty movement, he will win the primary.

He wins the primary and he is in. MI-03 is extremely conservative.

RSVP for the July 8th moneybomb here!!

Michigan's Own Ron Paul

....Apparently an "overwhelming" majority of our elected officials think it's human to throw people in cages because you disagree with their personal choices.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the vote on two bills. 105-1, with 70 co-sponsors. The other, 104-1 with 64 co-sponsors. Who was the lone voice of Liberty?

As it happened, I passed over some other votes in the journal to get to these votes, and what did I see? 96-10 on "an act to meet deficiencies in state funds by providing for the imposition, levy, computation, collection, assessment, reporting, payment, and enforcement of taxes", 104-2 on a bill to tighten licensing requirements on psychologists, 86-20 on a bill to give you more "compensation" for eminent land seizure--if and only if you don't move out of town, but use the scraps the government gives you to buy a place to live in the same town.

Guess who was the only guy to vote against each one of these socialist bills?

Justin Amash.

Reading over this journal made me really realize what a treasure he has been. I've known about him for a long time--he is our sponsor on several bills to block the implementation of Real ID in Michigan, and he has, in just one term, made a name for himself as a pioneer in transparency: he posts his monthly expense sheets on-line.

But what really struck me, reading the day's journal, is that Amash is voting correctly day after day after day. If we had the resources to mobilize on every single bill in the House, we might have swung some votes here and there. But Amash is voting right, every single time.

On the drug issue--one of the most politically controversial of all--Rep. Amash, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House: Proponents of HBs 6038 and 6226 have not persuaded me that the penalties imposed under these bills are commensurate with the harm committed. I support imposing stiff penalties on individuals who engage in activities that endanger the lives of others. It does not make sense, however, to impose lengthy prison sentences on individuals engaged in non-violent activities while the State of Michigan continues to release individuals imprisoned for violent offenses in an effort to save money."

If character is what you do when nobody's watching, this is your proof right here. Nobody paid any attention to this law. It had no news coverage. I didn't hear of it until after it passed.

I VERY rarely say anything nice about politicians, but I thank Rep. Amash for his excellent record and steadfast defense of liberty.

Justin Amash is the best candidate we have running across the state. He is the lone NO vote on most bills that come up for vote. He was the lone NO vote on the recent bill to ban K2, which is similar to marijuana. The bill passed. We have an extremely high concentration of idiots for politicians here in Michigan.

I have every confidence that Amash will win.:D
 
He also donated around $1,700(just don't remember the exact number) to Ron Paul's Primary run in 07/08'... it's in open secerets

This guys is the real deal.

Hopefully more people in this forum will look into him quickly before this opportunity passes.
 
How's this for a Facebook status?

Justin Amash Thirty-eight bills and resolutions are scheduled for a vote on the (Michigan) House floor tomorrow. Thirty-eight. Most representatives had never even heard of these bills until we received our agenda at 7:23 p.m. this evening. I will be up all night reading. I'm afraid that most of my colleagues will not be doing the same.

30 DAYS UNTIL THE PRIMARY

Justin's campaign needs our help. The establishment is running scared and the media is pulling out all stops with 2 hit pieces in today's Grand Rapids Press. Please consider donating to Justin for July 8th's moneybomb (even a $10 donation will make a difference!).

We can group together and push for Rand's victory after August 3rd. However, in the next month we MUST prioritize and realize that Amash is our guy. We need to rally behind Justin if he is going to pull off this establishment-crushing defeat.

Amash is in good shape to win this race, but the establishment will surely throw some more sticks in the spokes of his campaign before the August 3rd primary. SPREAD THE WORD AND SUPPORT JUSTIN IN ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN!!
 
Justin Amash Thank you to supporter Jeff DeBoer for producing this video to promote the July 8 money bomb being organized by fellow supporter Brenden Boudreau! It's the unsolicited efforts of remarkable supporters of liberty like you that will ensure victory in the August 3 Republican primary!
