Greg Goodwin Withdraws and Endorses Mark DeVol for Congress

Mark DeVol continues to surprise everyone with his growing attention and popularity amongst conservative voters in the Third District.  On Sunday, Independent candidate, Greg Goodwin, withdrew his candidacy for U.S. Congress in the Third District to support DeVol’s campaign.

Stop Talking and Start Listening

At a DC town hall on Monday, President Barack Obama called for the Tea Party to begin offering solutions instead of “…just yelling at each other”.

I am the only candidate that is actually offering solutions instead of party rhetoric in my Third District run for Congress, so I am extending an invitation to the President to sit down, stop his “yelling,” and actually listen to the solutions that I have been offering.

The Impact of the Economy on Small Business

As a business owner I am concerned about the impact of this economy on small businesses.  I recently read an article that cited the St. Louis Federal Reserve’s calculation that businesses in America are sitting on over $2 trillion in cash reserves.  This is $2 trillion that is not circulating in the U.S. economy, not being used to expand businesses, and not being used to create new jobs.

Does Congress have the authority to regulate the purchasing of health insurance across state lines?

Under Section 8, Clause 3, of the U.S. Constitution, the Commerce Clause states: Congress shall have the power to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.

Third District Voters

On August 5, 2010 the Republican Party will nominate their candidate for U.S. House. If the GOP candidate effectively demonstrates the ability to vote against Party leadership and for initiatives such as Term Limits, Fair or Flat Tax, Tort Reform, Enumerated Powers Act, etc; I will withdraw from the race and support this candidate in November. However; if the GOP candidate proves to be a Party ideolog or a candidate that simply reiterates conservative rhetoric, I will remain in the race.

An open letter to the elected Representatives of our State and Federal Governments

With leadership being defined by its actions…I would recommend the following initiatives be considered with regards to the $12 trillion national debt and the State of Tennessee’s $1 billion budget deficit.

Political Affiliation

The political party system has failed to produce the elected officials that are willing to fight for the principles of the Constitution. I believe in the principle of a two party system….I belong to the party that respects the Constitution and the limited role of the Federal Government.
