He's getting noticed around the country, and is gaining momentum. Would be nice to give his already leading fund raising a nice bump via donations.

More blogs are picking up on him too.

I have forwarded this on to some supporters who may know more people who can help.

From Amash's website in speaking about the legislative process:


When evaluating legislation, I first look to see if it is constitutional. If not, I stop. I cannot vote for something that is unconstitutional, no matter how well intentioned. I then look to see if the proposed law would move us further in the direction of limited government, free markets, and individual liberty. A bill does not have to be perfect for me to support it, as long as it tends to move in the direction of my principles. I also consider unintended consequences. Failing to read legislation carefully (or simply relying on a summary) leads to poor public policy, such as the Michigan Business Tax, which was passed with substantial Republican support.

He's a committed non-interventionist who loves Mises and Hayek. One of my old college friends is a full fledged anarcho-capitalist economics professor, and he's had some solid conversations with the man and is behind him 100%. He's a rising champion for the freedom philosophy.

Lawrence Reed, President of FEE:

" I support very few candidates for public office but they don't get any better or more principled than Justin Amash!"
