Michael Moshe Starkman - (R) MD 4th US Rep. Cand.

[PapaSmurerf]

"In every generation, Americans have embraced freedom and rallied against the binds of government oppression. We have rebelled against tyranny, fought to end slavery, and mobilized a coalition to bring down unethical discrimination. Today, after years of government spending and growth, exploitation of power, and an almost complete disregard towards the will of the people, it is time our government answered for its irresponsible behavior."

"I believe it is time for increased government-transparency and an emphasis on strict fiscal discipline. If elected, I pledge to defend the American taxpayer against special interests, expanded government, and corruption - wherever possible. I stand ready to advocate for border security, US job protection, education, limited government, and the wholesome American family."

Jewish Community Leader Runs for Congress as "Ron Paul Republican"


Through the Ron Paul facebook group (linked) I recently learned about Michael Moshe Starkman. Starkman is running as a Republican in Maryland's 4th Congressional District and openly endorses Ron Paul. Starkman is a 30 year old entreprenuer who leads both his own technology start-up company and a synagogue which serves the local community in conjuction with a private Jewish school. As a man of both Torah and high-tech, he represents two of Israel's greatest strengths - the blessing of Hashem and a dynamic economy. He has spent time studying in Israeli yeshivas and has many family members who have made aliyah. Even with this background, he is firmly focused on the traditions that make America great: our heritage of limited, Constitutional government, including a foreign policy of peace and non-intervention.

Starkman has run for this heavily gerrymandered Democratic seat before, when he was deafeted by a lopsided 82-18%. However, he was largely a "paper candidate" at the time who was devoting most of his political energies to helping a friend in a neighboring district and merely filled the ballot for the undermanned GOP in his own. This time around is different as Starkman is focusing on his own race and his opponent, incumbent Al Wynn is facing a stiff primary challenge likely to divide the Democratic base over Wynn's pro-war stance.

If we can get Ron Paul the Republican nomination - a feat that looks about 100x more likely now than when we started back in February - there is little chance he would lose to the pro-war Hillary Clinton. And when/if that happens, we'll need more "Ron Pauls" in Congress promoting our freedom message. Please join me in helping one of our best candidates - Michael Moshe Starkman. - www.starkmanforcongress.com
