My First Endorsement: Justin Amash (R-MI)

Over the next couple of months, I will be making endorsements for the 2012 General Election. As I have already stated, Ron Paul was my pick for the 2012 primary, but I will not be publishing an endorsement for President in the General. I am not going to endorse a write-in, and I am not going to endorse a splinter party. All I will say is do not vote for Mitt Romney or Barack Obama. My endorsements will be primarily for the House and Senate. There is a record number of liberty candidates and Ron Paul Republicans running this year and I want to let everyone know about them.

For my first endorsement, I picked a bit of an easy one to get it out of the way (and for practice). I am endorsing incumbent Representative Justin Amash, a Republican from Michigan's 3rd District. Most of you probably know of Justin already. He is, in most libertarian and paleo-conservative circles, considered to be the most liberty-oriented representative in the House other than Ron Paul. He ran two years ago on the tide of the Tea Party and won in his moderately conservative Grand Rapids district. He was endorsed by Ron Paul in his first campaign for U.S. Congress and returned an endorsement of Ron for President in 2012.

Justin is perhaps known best for leading the resistance to NDAA in the House. He is also known for almost never missing a vote in Congress and for explaining every one of his votes on his Facebook page. He has been a crusader for accountability in the Fast and Furious case without showing the hypocrisy of other Republicans. He has been called "the next Ron Paul" by several Ron Paul and non-Ron Paul organizations. He and Rand Paul have been looked toward to carry on the revolution, and Rand is beginning to lose much of that.

In conclusion, I endorse Rep. Justin Amash for Congress this November of the year 2012. He is a principled libertarian conservative with a now proven record of liberty-oriented voting. If re-elected, he will continue the fight against NDAA and take over Ron Paul's libertarian leadership in that chamber. I highly recommend that MI-3 re-elects Justin Amash.
