Welcome!
Dear fellow American,

You don’t have to look far today to find proof that Americans in general, and Michigan citizens in particular, are upset with politics as usual in Lansing and Washington. Incumbents who haven’t already announced their retirement are scrambling. They know that unlike in the past, voters can no longer afford to judge good speeches or intentions. Today’s voters are judging results. It’s no secret that both parties share blame.
When this country was founded, the government was made up of citizens who never envisioned spending their lifetime in public office. They knew that to do so, one risked becoming far too comfortable, too cozy with special interests, and susceptible to corruption and addiction to power. They also knew, having fled a tyrannical government, that the new country needed two separate systems – a strong state government, and a limited federal one. The federal government would handle only certain specified issues. Everything else would remain with the states.
Today’s government in Washington is a far cry from that envisioned by the Founders. It is too big, too inefficient, and too far removed from the people it seeks to serve. It spends money it doesn’t have on things it doesn’t need to avoid future budget decreases. It awards no-bid contracts to select political connections rather than demanding the most for our money. It has grown so arrogant that it seeks to extend its very reach into our homes and dictate even what light bulbs we may use. The federal government has a proper role and it is time to return the balance. It is time to let the people of Michigan have a stronger role in solving Michigan’s economic challenges rather than cede our future to the whims of entrenched, status-quo bureaucrats.
That’s why I am running for Congress – to stand up for YOU and this great state against the self-serving politicians willing to sell out Michigan to buy off Nebraska politicians and hand your family the bill. I want to bring a fresh perspective to protecting citizens against threats to our prosperity, security, and liberty – because what they’re trying right now clearly isn’t working. I’m not a politician. I’m a small business owner, a father, and a proud American who believes in common sense, time-tested ideas of personal responsibility, Constitutionality, and integrity. I am a proud supporter of the Second Amendment, protecting the most vulnerable at both ends of the life spectrum or special needs, empowering families, a strong national defense, and a free enterprise system designed to provide opportunity FOR ALL. I’ve heard the pundits and I’m here to tell them I’m not ready to turn out the lights on my children and I know you aren’t either. Please email me at Don@VolaricforCongress.com and let me know you’re ready to fight. I can’t do it without you!
Eternally optimistic,

Don Volaric
Candidate for Congress
Michigan's 12th Congressional District
