Thadeus McCotter is a U.S. Rep. for Michigan’s 11th district. (Wish I could claim bragging rights, but that’s the district next to ours.) Last month I attended a local Republican function at which he was the featured speaker. Unfortunately, the Q & A session was too short and I didn’t get a chance to ask him if he was considering a senate run for 2013. Sure hope he is! Articulate, and thoroughly grounded in history, philosophy and constitutional principles, he’d be an awesome replacement for either of the huge liberals (Levin & Stabenow) that we’re stuck with now.

Video is from yesterday (April 8th) – hours before the country was heroically saved from the devastating effects of a federal government shutdown.

Here are McCotter’s U.S.House and youtube sites.
