Michigan Needs a proven Leader Father Husband Business Owner Volunteer Activist Bill Gelineau for Governor When Bill talked with his family and business partners about a possible run for Governor, the fact that so many knew he had not only the skills and drive to bring new ideas – but, also his experience and compassion for those on the margins would make him a candidate the People of Michigan would welcome. Bill's goal is nothing less than destroying the political establishment in Michigan. But, rather than calling names and complaining, he and his team are laying out detailed plans to help every citizen of Michigan achieve their dreams. Take time to find Bill on Facebook and read his detailed plans on line. As the months unfold, you'll hear more and more about how Bill and the team of legislative candidates of the Libertarian Party will inspire the next generation of Michigan citizens. Grab an Oar and Join the Effort DROP the CAP! ComeTogetherMichigan.org The People of Michigan believe in small government. One of the political parties gives lip service to this idea. But, when it comes to spending, both parties challenge voters with poor choices. Let's put some teeth in the idea of small government. Michigan has a spending cap? Most voters don't know that — but, taxpayer advocate Richard Headlee's landmark amendment to the Michigan Constitution (Article IX, Section 26) – sets a limit on our State Government. Reducing the limit of spending to 8.55% is a necessary first step to tell investors, taxpayers, and the legislature that we don't want to return to a high-spending state. With focus on the priorities, we can repair our infrastructure, make needed repairs and make needed investments without blowing the budget. This little-known aspect of our budget exists due to the efforts of the late Dick Headlee, who in 1978 spearheaded an effort to ensure that Michigan got off the gravy-boat tax & spend ride it had been on. Come Together Michigan This isn't our slogan - it's a principle for governing with all the people of our state What has happened in so much of our public life, too often our elections are about personalities, and perceived "sides" of our political divide. As a candidate for Governor of Michigan, I will work to inspire conversations about solutions. Many of our problems are not Right/Left, or Conservative/ Liberal. Important aspects of my campaign is to explain the concepts and ideas of the Libertarian movement. Whatever happened to good old-fashion debate? Respect for competitive ideas? And civility? I will do my best to be a candidate of decency and solutions. I don't pretend to be the best champion for the Libertarian ideal. In fact, I hope you'll evaluate what those ideas might mean to you. Read it at MichiganLP.org. I will advocate for common sense and use FACTS. We're going to do it differently. Why should we succeed when so many have failed? The public has come to see how many things we need are just a mess right now. Schools to roads – from our increasing stressed environment to an overcrowded and dilapidated prison system – Michigan is falling behind. Let's follow Gary Johnson's simple formula. First, we should recognize a few truths: 1. Government tries to do too much. 2. Many of the things we do now are outdated and need reform. 3. Small businesses and entrepreneurs drive growth in our State and make it harder than needed for these job creators to succeed. Every great what deserves an equally great how The plan to clean up our most serious problems starts basic concepts. Proposal 1 – How does this serve the needs of our citizens? Proposal 2 – Are there market-based solutions which can best address this need? Proposal 3 – Is this something the government should be doing at all? Proposal 4 – How do we best utilize the precious resource of government funding (taxes)? 1. Fix the Roads 2. Auto Insurance Reform 3. Water Quality These problems are complex – but can be solved with innovative thinking.

Bill Gelineau Father, Leader, Community Involvement, Proud Small Businessman, Problem-Solver Campaign@Liberty4Gov.org What does Michigan really want? Simple, really. Leaders that tell them the truth and aren't in the pocket of special interests. We have some serious challenges in Michigan – many of which have been ignored for years. Team Blue and Team Red spend most of their time arguing with each other. Let's do something different For the first time in a generation, the people of Michigan have given the Libertarian Party a chance to become the 3rd voice – the voice of reason – the voice of solutions. Instead of shouting unrealistic and unworkable ideas that most Michigan voters would reject or even be frightened by – our campaign hopes to introduce voters to Libertarian values. 1. The Non-Aggression Principle 2. Small Government that meets the obligations of law 3. Inspiring Self-Ownership and Personal Responsibility Learn more: www.ComeTogetherMichigan.org |
