Common Sense for the 1st District

Personal Message

Hello, I'm Emily Salvette, a wife, mother and grandmother who thinks freedom is important. That’s why I’m running as the Libertarian Party candidate for Congress in District 1.

While I live in Ann Arbor, my concerns are the same as yours in the 1^st District: reviving economic opportunity everywhere, especially in Michigan; reducing the cost of government so we live within our means and get government debt under control; ending politically motivated and expensive wars that do nothing to keep us safe; and restoring the political system our founders intended so it serves citizens, not burdens them.

The Libertarian Party is the Party of Principle. Since I first voted Libertarian in 1980, I’ve never wavered from its ideas of individual choice and personal responsibility because I believe in people. Every person has a right to his life, liberty and property.

Every person knows better than a government committee what she needs to manage work, family, education, finances and charity. Any person would rather take responsibility to care for himself and his family rather than become dependent on the government--people just need the opportunities freedom and limited government bring to do that.

If you agree with me, please support my campaign and that of other Libertarians running this November. I invite you to contact me at the e-mail address or phone below.

Michigan Congressional District 1: Major Cities

Issues

This year we have a great opportunity to turn our country and our state around:

toward liberty and the Constitution
toward responsible limited government and the rule of law
toward honest money and personal freedom
toward peace and civil liberties under the Bill of Rights

As a member of Congress, I would vote to repeal Obamacare, stop the tax-payer-financed bailouts of the well-connected, end the wars (including the wars on drugs and immigrants), and would vote to support any legislation that brings us closer to the American ideal of individual liberty and personal responsibility.

Our standard bearer nationally is Gary Johnson, popular former governor of New Mexico, the People's Candidate for president. Please take a moment to hear his message Be Libertarian with Me.
