Michael Donihe For Congress

My Message

I have deep concerns for my native region of East Tennessee, and like many of you I'm frustrated and angered with the lack of real representation displayed by our current representative and his party, and in fact, with the other party as well. Therefore, I'm not running to toe the party line, but as an individual, and one who holds to a strict adherence to the Constitution of the United States. Having a good understanding of constitutional law, and a real vigilance in protecting individual civil liberties, in addition, curtailing big government to its constitutional size and scope.

It's time that our region was represented by someone who understands real East Tennessee values like hard work, family values, responsibility, and faith, someone who will represent the best interests of East Tennesseans, someone who will provide honest, effective, and a constitutional representation from our region to Washington DC.

The very core of all our problems that exist today, stem from Washington's total disregard to following the constitution as the founding fathers has prescribed for constitutional government. For far too long, our politicians have been ignoring and blatantly disregarding this great document. Samuel Adams said, “If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” In this I rise on this occasion to meet our nation's call, as a patriot and a fellow Tennessean to meet those challenges in Washington DC.

The many ills that our region suffers, and the nation as a whole, be it healthcare, energy costs, housing, school tuition, prescription drugs, employment, retirement and the cost of living in general, can be laid squarely at the feet of our politicians, and this illegal monetary system that has a stranglehold on our lives. Article one-section ten, demands that “only gold and silver are to be legal tender.” Gold and silver have always held their value for more than six thousand years. Did you know that from 1833 to 1930 the cost of living remained relatively the same for that ninety-seven year period? How much has our cost of living been going up since the creation of this leviathan known as the Federal Reserves? The answer, our cost of living has risen by more than eighteen hundred percent since its conception. In effect, they have stolen from our savings; our livelihoods and it must stop!

As your representative I will work to get the federal government off our backs, out of our wallets, and out of our living rooms... I know you are as dedicated as am I to building a better quality of life for all citizens in the First District of Tennessee.
