Meet Dana

Dana Walsh is an independent businesswoman who wants to serve her country. She has no desire to become a career politician like her opponent. The entrenched political elite in Washington, seeking their own power, have grossly mismanaged the nation’s affairs, and will continue to do so without action by responsible citizens. Dana Walsh is standing up to take action at this critical turning point in our nation’s political and economic history. Rarely in our history has the country needed the strong voices and courage of its citizens to retake the reigns from those who misuse power. Standing up now is more important than ever before.

Dana’s campaign began simply - with a discussion among business colleagues who, busy trying to stay ahead, found little time to understand the significant issues of the day. The excessive tax burden, complicated government bureaucracy, and intrusive government regulation made it impossible for these citizen friends to stay informed about what was occurring in their country. They wondered, “how has our government become so big and complicated that bright business people couldn’t keep up? Why don’t most people see that we are heading toward socialism?”

Dana believes that today’s state of political and constitutional affairs is not what the founding fathers had in mind. Members of Congress were supposed to serve their country as a “Citizen Statesmen,” and return shortly to private life. They were supposed to serve the interests of the citizens, not the interests of the government. Unlike many great leaders before them, most of today’s Congress (especially Nancy) put their own careers and interests, and the growth of government, ahead of the country’s best interests. This must stop!

Dana decided that she would do something. Dana launched her campaign to help right the country’s policy culture away from its present collectivist course and back toward our Founder’s constitutional vision of truly limited government. Like the Founders intended, Dana has no interest in staying in Congress forever or making a career out of it. Dana considers the most important objective to be: stop Nancy and her liberal / socialist comrades from destroying the country’s prosperity.

In her 2008 campaign Dana set the tone and laid the ground work; in her 2010 campaign she intends to finish the job! Dana is uniquely qualified to serve as a “Citizen Statesman:”
