Linda Goldthorpe, a 'Ron Paul Republican' Running for Congress Needs Support

Please contribute to her campaign!!
Linda Goldthorpe of Curtis in the Upper Peninsula plans to run in the Republican primary against state Rep. Tom Casperson and conservative Don Hooper, and if she prevails will run as a “Ron Paul Republican” against seven-term Democratic Congressman Bart Stupak.
An outspoken disciple of Ron Paul, Goldthorpe says she has called herself a “pro-life Libertarian” for years.
She said she had no intention of running as a Republican until she realized that Ron Paul had returned to the party’s founding principles of limited government and low taxes. She said today’s Republicans have overspent and overreached their constitutional mandates.
“I’m embarrassed by Republicans bombing the world in my name,” she said, when asked to distinguish herself from Hooper, the maverick three-time candidate from Iron River who says the country cannot afford to pull out of the world’s trouble spots, including Iraq.
“We don’t need 700 military bases in 130 counties,” Goldthorpe said, adding that she supports strict enforcement of U.S. borders.
She said alliances between government and environmental groups unconstitutionally deny citizens the right to the use of their property.
A strict constitutionalist, Goldthorpe would work to do away with virtually all government agencies, including the department of education.
“It sounds radical, but that was part of the Republican Party platform during the Reagan years,” she said. “Congress can only do what the Constitution allows and must leave the rest to the states, if at all.
Linda Goldthorpe, like her opponents, admits she has few financial resources for the campaign.

How fantastic
To have Ron Paul Republicans running for office all over the country.
Thank you all
I usually spend time on the Ron Paul sites each day...and it was a little unusual to see my own name there tonight. Thanks so much for the comments, encouragement and donations. Our district is enormous...31 counties...so just gas money alone is a major concern and I'm really grateful for the help.

Redefining the Republican Party...
It's clearly obvious that the Republican party needs to be re-trained on what it is to be conservative and follow the Constitution. People like Linda Goldthorpe, and all of us, are instrumental in that process. Go to your local GOP meeting. Go to your local Democrat meetings. Recruit people to join us that are truly concerned about the future of our country. Get involved in the local leadership of your county parties. We'll take back this country, county by county.
And spread the word around to help Linda, and others like her, that are brave enough to take on the machine. If you live in the 1st. Congressional District here in Michigan, and would like to join us in supporting Linda, please contact me, Bill, at 'me @ PoliticalPatriot.com - or call me at 877-777-9909. Contribute what you can to her financially. Bart Stupak spends over $400K every 2 years to keep his office. We need to be able to compete. Thank you Ron Paul Patriots!
Let's match that number and
Let's match that number and let the policies do the rest.
