Welcome

Statement:
Stationed at McChord AFB, I married the love of my life Mary, settled down in my adopted hometown of Steilacoom and raised four children who are now married and having our grandchildren.

Future generations will not have the same quality of life we enjoy if the out-of-control spending by the incumbents is not stopped. This generational theft threatens the economic vitality and future of our country. Our government has taxed, borrowed, and spent an exorbitant amount of your money. Every American owes over $40,000 on behalf of the government. Record deficits and lack of smart oversight have mangled the job market and hurt small business growth.

The incumbent speaks like a moderate, but his voting record essentially follows Nancy Pelosi and the liberal congress. With so-called “Obamacare”, the failed stimulus package, special interest earmarks, corporate bailouts, cap and trade (an enormous domestic energy tax increase), and increased foreign aid, the incumbent has ballooned our debt and reliance on foreign countries.

My votes will support federal priorities of ensuring a good business climate for job creation, supporting military families and veterans, giving control of educational priorities to local school boards, promoting energy independence, preserving our beautiful environment, and protecting our borders from illegal aliens.

I am proud to be endorsed by Attorney General Rob McKenna, the Lakewood Police Independent Guild, numerous elected officials throughout Washington State, and thousands of private citizens who are concerned about the direction of our country. I encourage you to visit DickMuri.com to learn about my solutions and strategies to strengthen our country.

We need a congressman who votes the way he talks. America is a great nation; we must have responsible solutions to our problems, and a sustainable federal government that adheres to our Constitution's enumerated powers.

When I discuss our campaign for congress with voters in the 9th Congressional District I tell people, "I am not running against Congressman Adam Smith the person, I am running against Congressman Adam Smith's voting record.”

Independence Day

At the conclusion the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 someone asked Benjamin Franklin what type of government they were to have. He replied, "A Republic, if you can keep it." Independence Day has always meant more than freedom from Britain, more than rebellion. Indeed, many rebels have overthrown a government only to implement a tyranny of their own. But our United States of America was born a fraternal twin: it brought with it the notion that power was held in the individual person; that God blessed mankind with the capacity for self-governance. When the Declaration of Independence said "We hold these truths to be self-evident," it ushered in a new concept in government that is inextricably tied to our future as a nation.
