Michigan Coalition against Homelessness
2014 Candidate Questionnaire
1. What can you tell us about the issue of homelessness in the state of Michigan? Can you please share your views on the causes, other related issues, and solutions? “More Jobs = Less Poverty = Less Crime”. CREATE JOBS. I am the only candidate who proves HOW. As your Congressman I will be victorious in enacting HR Bill 2990 “The Need Act” that will create full employment by rebuilding our nations’ crumbling roads & failing infrastructure – without increased taxation, fees’ or national debt. See web site www.NORTHFORCONGRESS.com.
2. Is homelessness a significant issue in your district? How familiar are you with the service providers that address homelessness in your district? YES. I contribute to “Interfaith Shelter” - I support “poverty funding” via my church.
3. Are you aware of any pending or proposed legislation, or would you be proposing your own legislation, that will have an impact on homelessness? I will be victorious in enacting THE NEED ACT. 1st thing I learned about politics is “once legislation is introduced – it never goes away”.
4. As an elected Michigan public servant, how would you work to provide resources that address the issue of homelessness? CREATE JOBS by enacting HR Bill 2990, The NEED Act.

SAVING THE UNITED STATES IS NOT A DEMOCRATIC OR REPUBLICAN THING – IT’S AN AMERICAN THING. Any candidate, Democratic or Republican – who can not prove why we should vote for them – are liars. I am the only candidate who PROVES – how we can create full-employment – that will result in the greatest economic boom sine our industrial revolution. www.NORTHFORCONGRESS.com.
