Still preparing the full videos of yesterday’s debate but this statement from Bill Gunn expresses perfectly the difference between conservatives and liberals and liberalism

“I offer you the difference between the three candidates today. I offer you on the one hand a candidate that respects liberty, respects freedom, respects the potential of every individual to attain heights only imaginable. I offer on the other hand candidates that want to dictate to you what healthcare you must have or not have, what you can and cannot to, and will sentence your children to a life of mediocrity.”

If anyone has put the choice in this election better, I haven’t heard it

Here is the video

All three candidates graciously agreed to speak to me after the debate:

It was quite a thing to hear a democrat actually defend Obamacare and not talk about repeal, it was almost refreshing. If you’re going to vote for something; own it!

This was my first meeting with Mr. Engel, he is a good advocate for ideas that I totally disagree with

Gunn pointed out Olver has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on TV. He will be running some TV but could use about 40K to try to compete with Congressman Olver’s volume and put him over, can you help? if you can Click Here to contribute.

Three cheers for my hometown paper!

Gunn has already made good on his promise to listen to the people, holding several town hall-style forums across the far-flung district. (Here the incumbent, ever the earnest lecturer, could learn something from his challenger.) Gunn’s candidacy is truly a grass-roots effort born of the tea-party movement, and he acknowledges that his is an uphill battle. He said he is relying on the more conservative pockets of the districts, such as those right here in the North Central region, to deliver him victory.

Oh, lest we forget, there is an independent in the race, Michael Engel, who is a self-described Democratic socialist. Enough said there.

The race for the 1st Congressional District is a microcosm of the battle for control of Capitol Hill being waged across the country. It’s a race of big government vs. smaller government. More taxation vs. less taxation. Government telling you what’s best for you vs. you telling the government what’s best for government. That’s why we endorse Bill Gunn for Congress in the 1st District.

I beg I URGE my readers to consider kicking in to help Bill, if he had 1/10 of the money that is going to Sean Bielat he would have this race in a walk.

Help us make ma-1 part of the big red wave!
