Political Philosophy for Mike Halliwell

Candidate for United States Representative; District 6

My write-in candidacy is necessary to maintain standing in my lawsuit being litigated in Sonoma County Superior Court. My February 15 Press Release, "6th CD GOP Candidate Challenges In-Lieu Signature Exclusion," explains the logic of this lawsuit (which is only now commencing adjudication with a hearing slated for November 14, 2006).

A good indication of how I would vote in Congress is my May 12 analysis of 44 specific roll call votes in "In Oregon in 1964 and Today `He Cared Enough to Come' Works." You can access any of these rolls on the official House website:
