Issue Position

It's more important than ever to remain vigilant about our constitutionally established liberties. Among these threatened are our 2nd Amendment rights and the rights of the unborn. But, additionally we have seen in recent news coverage the scandalous behavior by the IRS targeting political opponents, the National Security Agency (NSA) capturing every email and the phone records of millions of innocent Americans, and the Obama government seizing the personal phone records of media reporters. The endless expansion and massive power of government is spiraling completely out of control. Our Founding Fathers understood that this day of federal usurpation might well arrive and included the 10th Amendment in the Bill of Rights to protect the concept of Federalism and "States Rights" and the 4th Amendment against illegal search and seizure. Jim Runestad is a strong supporter of all the Bill of Rights and adherence to the whole Constitution. Jim will fight to protect the personal liberties of Michigan's citizens from the ever-increasing size and scope of progressing federal government overreach.
