Michigan 5 term Congressman Thad McCotter announced friday that he was running for the Presidency.The Congressman also wrote the book Seize Freedom. In which he is surrounding himself with his campaign under 5 Core prinicples.....
"Our liberty is from God not the government"
"Our sovereignty is in our souls not the soul"
"Our security is from strength not surrender"
"Our prosperity is from the private sector not the public sector"
"Our truths are self-evident not relative"
Although McCotter previously stated that "if I run, I would be in to win", he received only two votes in a Republican Leadership Conference straw poll two weeks ago, and lacks the name recognition of his fellow challengers for the nomination. Charlie Cook of the The Cook Political Report rated it "virtually impossible" for McCotter to be nominated.

An adviser said McCotter is dissatisfied with the current candidates and "has something to say and has some ideas and some policies to put out there that nobody else is discussing right now...his presence in the race is going to force these issues and force this discussion that the country has to have right now."
Maybe he is right and he can force them to talk about some real issues. I don't know much about him. Anyone else? Thoughts?
