His platform is simple. He believes in a representative government that actually represents the people. He pointed out that all of us manage household budgets, and we know that if our income decreases for any reason, we have to cut our spending. He pointed out that if we as heads of families do that, the government should follow our example.

He pointed out that historically tax cuts help stimulate the economy and used the Kennedy Administration and the Reagan Administration as examples of that. He supports the repeal of the recently passed healthcare reform act, and opposes pork-barrel spending.<\/p>\n I was impressed by his ideas–they are the principles of the founding fathers that the current Congress seems to have forgotten, and I will support him as a candidate for Representative from my district. <\/p>\n To learn more, click on this link to his website, Martyforcongress.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Friday night I attended the kick off meeting for Marty Lamb’s Congressional Campaign held in Westborough, Massachusetts.
