Meet Mike Republican Candidate for Congress in MD-8

Mike Philips is the Republican candidate for Congress in Maryland 8. Mike is running against ultra liberal and a rubber stamp for Nanacy Pelosi.

Please go to Mike Philips For Congress volunteer to help Mike, so that November 2, we can FIRE Chris VanHollen!


Meet Mike Philips

I am a Candidate for U.S. Congress in Maryland's 8th District. I am running for Congress because I believe I can make a difference. I have grown frustrated with what I see happening in Congress and feel that no one is listening.

I have “had enough” and I am ready to work hard to stop the spending spree in Congress. I am an ordinary citizen with common sense and good business experience, not a career politician. We must bring Fiscal Responsibility back to Congress. I have the Leadership and Management skills that are currently lacking in our Government. I will listen and represent the people in our District.

Served as Captain in U.S. Marine Corps
30 years Management Experience

As you get to know me and my positions on the current challenges we face, please contact me for further discussion.

Mockerman the one of the Many New Rising Stars in the MD GOP

Matthew A. Mockerman – State Delegate District 15

“According to the Department of Legislative Services, Montgomery County has the largest population, generates the most tax revenues, and has more debt than any other county, yet we receive back only 18% of our tax dollars in state aid. We have not been fairly represented in Annapolis and we’re paying a high price with our jobs and prosperity being driven to neighboring states. Let’s stand together and vote for a new direction in November.”

Live from Boston: Martin O'Malley's Budget Bluster

BALANCING THE BUDGET From BobEhrlich.com



BALANCING THE BUDGET

Maryland politicians are spending at unsustainable levels and mortgaging our future. Total spending in Maryland over the past four years was $22 billion more than the preceding four years. Families and entrepreneurs across the income scale have been forced to pay $6.3 billion in new taxes, yet see little return on their investment. Even after these tax increases, $3 billion in fund transfers, and $4.5 billion in federal stimulus funds, Maryland remains in an $8 billion hole from which it cannot emerge without a fundamental reexamination of the services government provides.

Bob Ehrlich will take on five priorities for Maryland’s fiscal future.

Value for dollar budgeting: Government’s legacy the past four years has been to force Marylanders to pay higher taxes while providing them fewer services in return. As a result, families and entrepreneurs get terrible value for their tax dollar and the next Governor gets an $8 billion structural shortfall looming on the horizon.
Bob Ehrlich will scrap the mindset of the past and begin budgeting anew by instituting the Value for Dollar Initiative. The goal will be to align government’s expenditures with revenues by delivering outcomes for Marylanders at a price they are willing to pay – and not a penny more. Value for Dollar Budgeting will:
• Reevaluate the mission of government agencies.
• Shift government’s starting point from last year’s “base entitlement” to what citizens are willing to pay for core government services. That means removing last year’s “base entitlement” entirely and beginning budgeting anew.
• Invest in mission critical programs that deliver high value for the lowest cost.

Conservative budgeting: To maximize Value for Dollar Budgeting’s success, the Ehrlich team will pursue conservative revenue estimates to avoid unpleasant shocks associated when revenues do not meet expectations.

Eliminate needless spending: Bob Ehrlich will change the mindset in government that taxpayers are obligated to fix budget deficits created by politicians. He will direct state government to identify inefficiencies to help balance the budget. For example, the State of Maryland hands out expensive government contracts for public relations services. The Ehrlich Administration will consolidate these assets and eliminate expenditures that are not mission critical in a fiscal crisis. He will enforce laws requiring state agencies to justify grants over $50,000 to determine whether they are necessary. Additionally, the Ehrlich Administration will identify duplicate state and local government functions for potential cost-savings and consolidations.

Pension Reform: The preeminent threat to Maryland’s long-term fiscal solvency is its pension obligations. The Pew Center on the States recently raised “serious concerns” about Maryland’s pension liabilities, noting that Maryland has only 65 percent of the funds needed to meet $33 billion in obligations to retirees. Politicians in Annapolis have done nothing in four years to fix the problem. In fact, they’ve delayed a task force report on pension reform until 2011 – five years after it was created.
As Governor, Bob Ehrlich will introduce bipartisan pension reform in the General Assembly. His proposal will be fair to both pension beneficiaries and the taxpayers who finance the system and will reflect serious discussion with the legislature and state employees about the fiscally responsible path forward. Most importantly, Bob believes all stakeholders in this debate – from beneficiaries and state employees to taxpayers — should be given equal voice and consideration before a final proposal is enacted.

Review Mandates: Nearly three-quarters of Maryland’s $32 billion budget is dedicated to mandated spending. The Ehrlich Administration will commission a bipartisan review of all mandated spending in state government to identify ineffective expenditures.

Modernize Government: Government spending can’t be fixed until we fix government itself. Bob Ehrlich will reform state procurement processes to cut costs on big contracts like computer equipment and office supplies. He will streamline the purchase, management, and sale of state real estate and explore public-private partnerships for costly assets.

Red Montgomery Urges all Republicans

Red Montgomery urges all Republicans running for office in Montgomery County and Maryland to take the American’s for Tax Reform, Taxpayer Protection Pledge.

Everyone should take this pledge, in my book with a few exceptions if you don’t take the pledge you’re a RINO and we shouldn’t waste our time helping you. I will be posting names of those who have and haven't taken the Pledge.

Before any of you say Gov. Ehrlich didn’t take the pledge, well you are wrong, he took that pledge when he ran for House of Delegates. The Pledge doesn’t go away because you run for a different office.

GOP Pledge to America

This is a link to the GOP Pledge to America

Please take a look and share with your friends.

Also remember between now and Election day talk to ten friends, tell them to vote Republican.

Red Montgomery supports the Pledge to America

Red Montgomery supports the “Pledge to America”; I find this a bit humorous that Liberals/Progressives have already attacked the pledge on state it doesn’t talk about Social Security, Clean Energy or Social Justice.

To all the Liberals/Progressives with what little respect you people get from me (and it is very, very little) your team has been trumpeting those issues since they seized power. What has been the results, 9.7% unemployment; quadrupled the National Debt; lastly expanded the welfare state to give TAXPAYER dollars to a Radical Imam who hates America to raise money for a Mosque on Ground Zero.

Keep it up that all I have to say! You’re doing a real bang up job.

Maryland’s Future

This November all Marylanders will have to make a big decision it’s not that hard, however some might have a more challenging time making this crucial decision.

Lets layout the issues:

Over the past four years we have seen our taxes almost double, unemployment almost doubled, we are all paying more a higher sales tax. We are losing hundreds of businesses every month. We have tried things their way for the past four years. Can anyone honestly say they are better off today than they were four years ago?

This is what we had under Governor Ehrlich, lower taxes, more jobs, business moving into Maryland (Ritz Carrolton to name one) the list could go on forever.
Our sales tax was only 5% (one comment I have to make IT ISN’T JUST ONE PENNY IT IS 1%)

Jobs & the Economy:

100 Percent increase in unemployment from 2006 to 2010

211,000 Number of Marylanders currently unable to find a job

Jobs & the Economy:

100 Percent increase in unemployment from 2006 to 2010

211,000 Number of Marylanders currently unable to find a job

3,000 Maryland small businesses closed under Martin O’Malley

1,200 Maryland jobs lost when Black & Decker moved

300+ Potential Maryland jobs lost when Northrop Grumman moved to Virginia

300 Maryland jobs lost when BP Solar closed this year

540 Maryland jobs lost when Solo Cup closed

45th Maryland’s ranking among the 50 states in The Tax Foundation’s survey of business tax climates

0.018 Total reduction in Maryland’s jobless rate if Martin O’Malley’s much-touted jobs tax credit works

0 Net new jobs created under the O’Malley Administration

Budget & Taxes (From Ehrlich for Maryland website)

$22 billion Four-year spending increase under Martin O’Malley compared to four years under Bob Ehrlich.

$8 billion Four-year structural deficit Martin O’Malley will leave the next Governor.

$6.4 billion New taxes enacted by Martin O’Malley, including sales tax, corporate income tax, personal income tax, real estate tax, solar energy tax, vehicle excise tax, and vehicle titling tax.

$3.6 billion Cost to taxpayers of two new transit projects promised by Martin O’Malley when the State has no money to pay for them.

$1 billion The cash reserve left to Martin O’Malley by Bob Ehrlich.

$1 billion Increase in debt under Martin O’Malley, despite denying that he ever “borrowed from the future.”

$1,608 Every Marylander’s share of Maryland’s debt obligations, nearly twice that of citizens in neighboring Virginia.

20% Percent increase in Maryland’s sales tax under Martin O’Malley

43 The number of new services likely to be taxed next year if Maryland’s current political leaders are re-elected. New sales tax will be put on cell phones, gym memberships, cleaning services, tax preparation, and other services.

18% Percent increase in Maryland’s corporate income tax under Martin O’Malley.

So, ask yourself do you really want to continue the radical O’Malley-Obama Agenda that has bankrupted our Country and State? Remember the difference between a recession and a depression is, if your neighbor loses his job it’s a Recession; When you lose your job it’s a Depression, with that said when Martin O’Malley and Anthony Brown lose their jobs in Annapolis and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid lose their jobs it is the start of a recovery.

Lastly ask yourself are you better off today than you were four years ago?
