Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers and donors who worked to demonstrate that politics can still be done with integrity!!! It is very difficult to run a positive, clean campaign that is focused on solutions. Our team did just that and I thank all of you! Great Work and God Bless, Steven
Sling Solutions Not Mud - Wilson Challenges Walz to demonstrate his specific solutions to solving our national debt crisis. Wilson is posting his on this website under "Solutions"
We need more truth and
less politics. There is a lot that Congress is not talking about. In
December, many leading economists came to an agreement on a credit card
limit for America. Several of these economists reported that same limit
(60% of GDP by 2018) before the Senate Budget Committee in early
February. By now, Congress should be well aware of the urgency. The
bottom line is our deficits will need to be reduced by as much as 5
trillion by 2018 from the current projections in order to avoid a
possible financial crisis in America. The good news is by immediately
committing to such a credit card limit and implementing a plan by 2012,
America can likely avoid such a crisis according to December's report
from the Peterson-Pew
Commission on Budget Reform. Unfortunately it is not happening. For
example, the health care bill scored by the Congressional Budget Office
on Thursday (March 18th) will save the nation a projected 138 billion
over the next decade. That savings could amount to less than 3% of the
needed action. Congress cannot seem to get ahead of the problem. If you
want to hear more truth contact us at www.stevenwilson.org.
What
about the Conrad-Judd Task Force proposed in January? It would have
begun the needed action. However, it missed approval by seven votes as
23 Republican and 22 Democrat senators voted against it. America, this
is a "We the People" moment in history. We need to start taking action
ourselves. If you would like to review new ideas from our innovative
policy team, contact us at www.stevenwilson.org.
What about that debt commission President Obama ordered? I asked David
M. Walker (the rock star of the national debt) if the new debt
commission guaranteed a vote. He told me it did not.
The action
will need to come from "We the People." Are you in the game?
Wilson stopped in Fairmont Minnesota to talk with farmers through the airwaves of KSUM AM radio. While talking to Rod Halvorson Assistant Farm Director, Wilson told farmers "we have to be careful that the federal government does nut rush in with a wheelbarrow of good intentions and then drive out with a truckload of unintended consequences."
Wilson spent part of the time comparing farming in southern Minnesota to farming in Iraq.
The campaign stop was part of Wilson's announcement tour in February.
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC-DT) -- Another candidate is throwing his hat into the ring for U.S. Congress.
Seven Wilson is with the Independence Party of Minnesota and hopes to someday represent the First Congressional District.
Wilson says he's a conservative Independent and will not be influenced by major party politics in Washington, D.C., especially when it comes to tackling our rising debt.
"It's not a numbers issue or a policy issue," says Steven Wilson. "It's a people issue. The fact is, people from the two major parties in Washington can't get along."
Wilson says he will also not be swayed by special interest groups, but will only take donations from individuals in the campaign.
Wilson continues traveling across southern Minnesota in February. In addition to meeting individual voters, Wilson was interviewed by KTTC TV Rochester, KAAL TV Rochester, KEYC TV Mankato, KTOE Radio Mankato, Owatonna People's Press, KSUM Radio Fairmont and conducted an announcement in southwestern Minnesota at Cable TV 3 in Worthington.
Wilson announced this week that David and Becky Atwood of Rochester will be the campaign Treasurers for the Wilson campaign. David Atwood is the Chair of the Math Department of an area college. His wife Becky has experience as the treasurer of a community organization in Rochester. They along with their two children reside in Rochester.
The vision of the accountability team is to instill integrity into the political endeavors of Steven Wilson both before and after he is elected to the United States Congress.
The vision of the Solutions Team is to provide an environment where great thinkers from the left, right and middle can come together with a vision of creating effective policy.
The hope is that consensus will be built early in the process rather than forcing policy through Congress.
