Get to know Lisa Michaels for US Congress - Key Actions Congress Should Take

2012-04-30T08:20:00.000-07:00

2. What are the key actions Congress should take to help boost employment?

The Federal Government should get out of the way by lowering all taxes on everyone, eliminating onerous regulations that stifle commerce and closing down anti-business Federal agencies. We must incentivize individual achievement by rewarding hard work with lower taxes. When our business owners are able to afford to hire more workers because less of their money is being sent to the Government, then those added workers will begin paying taxes instead of receiving unemployment. This is precisely why history shows that lower taxes create more prosperity by lowering unemployment while increasing productivity. Lower Corporate taxes will inspire our companies to return home to a more level playing field requiring them to hire more Americans rather than outsourcing their work force to business friendly nations with lower taxes. Government should stop placing artificial limits on our workers, by lowering the legal age to work and eliminating the job killing minimum wage.

1. Why are you the best choice to fill this office?

Because I am the only candidate who has been actively involved with my community, listening to their concerns with every election in which I been a candidate or a volunteer over the past 12 years. With my "LIVE with Lisa Michaels" community access cable show I speak directly with my viewers about the salient issues facing Oregonians. With my radio/cable show "Accountability" I have worked hard to shed light on important issues that have been ignored by the media. If hired by my neighbors to represent them in Congress I will continue to be available to address their concerns about how best to fix our failing Federal Government.

Jobs the Economy and More Jobs

2012-04-20T21:03:00.000-07:00

Job Creation is Job 1

The reason we have been losing jobs steadily since liberal Democrats took over the Congress in 2007 is due to their socialist policies which have consistently punished the doers and rewarded the takers. Our corporations and the jobs they provided left because of:

Higher taxes and onerous regulations require businesses across the United States to relocated to more business friendly countries.

Lower Cost of doing business

Competitive Labor Costs
Lower Corporate Taxes
Tax Credits
Lower Capital expenses
Lower environmental protection cost

Risk of Frivolous Lawsuits
Risk of unpredictable healthcare costs brought on by Obamacare
Higher Cost of Living
Higher Capital Expenses

Government Mandated

Wages
Benefits
Fees
Licensing
Regulations

Therefore we must arrest control of Congress from the liberal Democrats who are clearly forcing our job providers out of the country or out of business entirely. These class warfare liberals are forcing us to rely on Government charity to survive, while robbing us of the opportunity to thrive and prosper in life affirming work.

Once elected I will make every effort to support or sponsor legislation to repeal Obamacare, lower taxes and dramatically cut all government agencies not provided for by our Constitution. We must do all in our power to reverse the Socialist legislation that has driven us into insolvency. As our founding fathers so eloquently wrote we must support our rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." That means getting Government our of our business.

John Fund Speaks to the Issue of Vote by Mail in Oregon

2012-03-18T11:19:00.003-07:00

Many thanks to the hardworking conservative Republicans in Multnomah county, who treated last night's Lincoln Dinner attendees to an eye opening expose on voter fraud by the expert scholar on this subject, Wallstreet Journal Columnist, John Fund.

Like I have been warning for years, our all vote by mail system opens up our ballots to manipulation because those who may not be still breathing, under age, illegally residing in or no longer living in our state are able to vote early and often. Obviously if our vote can be canceled out by 1 to a hundred fraudulent votes our vote no longer counts towards a legitimate result.

A widower must bring in proof to his county's Elections office of his spouse's demise in order to permanently lay his wife's voter registration to rest. Once our ballots are mailed out anyone in the voter's life may pick it up fill it out then either ask the true voter to sign the security envelope or if they have access to that voter's signature they could try to forge it. This might be why college voter registration drive workers have been seen scanning new registration cards before turning them into the Secretary of State. There should be no mystery as to why voter ID is now being challenged so intensely by our Justice Department, two words "Job Security." The left simply cannot ensure Obama's re-election if voters are required to show photo ID.

Indictments were handed down on 4 groups for voter fraud in the all important state of Ohio during President Bush's 2004 re-election:
-NAACP
-ACORN
-ACT
-SEIU
http://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/national/ohio_electionreport.1.pdf
It is no wonder these same groups are working so hard to stop voter ID laws and encourage Oregon's all vote by mail system.

We must revisit the wisdom of voting entirely by mail. The risks to our sacred right to vote in direct proportion to our fellow citizens, were never fully vetted before we Oregonians agreed to exchange convenience for honest elections.

Lisa Michaels is back in the hunt for Oregon's CD1

2012-02-29T10:45:00.000-08:00

I am pleased to report that I have just filed to run for the Republican Congressional nomination in Oregon's 1st District.

As many of you may know I ran a tough primary race for this position during last year's Special Election to replace the disgraced Congressman David Wu. Unfortunately, the victor in our primary race, Rob Cornilles, was unsuccessful in defeating David Wu's long time friend and supporter Suzanne Bonamici.

David Wu's Democrat supporters deceived us for 12 years by propping him up and hiding his unethical personal life, we Oregonians should not have rewarded his supporters by electing one of them to replace him as our Representative in Congress.

It is my hope that once the members of our community learn the truth about the woman they recently elected to replace David Wu, that they will support the conservative Lisa Michaels as our new Congressional Representative this November.

I welcome your advice and support as we seek to return integrity to Oregon's 1st Congressional District.

Sincerely,

Lisa Michaels

The Cure caved to the Cause

2012-02-02T14:43:00.001-08:00

Abortions artificially stop the production of milk causing abnormal cancerous cell development. The breast was created for the purpose of feeding the baby, so don't mess with mother nature. If you have a baby, breastfeed him or her as God intended so you do not contract breast cancer.

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure has helped fund abortions which cause the very disease that they are supposed to be raising money to cure. To my mind this is the single most important reason not to support this charity. We should all ask some serious questions of any breast cancer prevention or research charity before making our donations.

It is no wonder that so many former Planned Parenthood clients were so upset with Race for the Cure for flirting with eliminating their support for the organization that facilitated their abortion "choice." Many if not most of these unfortunate souls may now have contracted breast cancer due to their uninformed "choice."

Why Not Support the Candidate Everyone Likes- Rick Santorum

2012-01-30T13:23:00.000-08:00

The Romney supporters can’t stand Newt Gingrich, while the Gingrich supporters can’t stand Mitt Romney and the Ron Paul supporters can’t stand either one of them, so why not vote for steady Eddy the guy everyone likes, Senator Rick Santorum who has remained conservative throughout his entire career and the fact that he does not have big beltway money influencing his campaign is all the more reason why he should earn our votes. Senator Santorum’s only shortcoming is that he has not governed a state but then again neither did Abraham Lincoln.
The left desperately wants either Mitt or Newt to be our nominee because they have counter attacks all set up and ready to go for either candidate, but Senator Santorum is the wild card who simply cannot be destroyed with opposition research. Once Mitt were to get the nomination they will pull out the anti-Wallstreet “Occupiers” and argue that Mitt gave us Obamacare “we only copied his MA plan after all…” and with Newt’s full closet of skeletons on display for all the tabloids to expose we will find ourselves with 4 more years of economic destruction by Obama.
Senator Santorum NEVER
-supported an individual mandate as did both Mitt & Newt
-proposed to his 2nd and 3rd wife before informing his current wife that he wanted a divorce as Newt did
-crafted his state’s socialist healthcare system with an individual mandate as Mitt did
-wrote racist newsletters as Ron Paul did
Neither of the two frontrunners have to date won more states than Rick Santorum has so what is the big fuss about “the Mitt” and “the Newt?”
Vote Conservative!
Vote for Rick Santorum for President of the United States.

A Physicist, Meteorologist, & Climatologist Debunk Global Warming Hysteria

2012-01-27T13:00:00.003-08:00

This scientific event finally took place on 1/25/12 at the Airport Shilo Inn in Portland, Oregon,after being censored by Oregon Museum of Science's management and "Global Warming" hysteria advocates who depend on promoting this false science to support the taking of our liberty in order to supposedly "save our planet" from global climate change. We must spread the word that the sky is indeed NOT falling and that anybody promoting such nonsense needs to be ignored.

Letter from Physicist, Gordon Fulks PhD to:

Dear Senator Whitsett,

Thank you for standing up for all of Oregon, not just the rural sector. You are certainly correct that the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) is unnecessary, counterproductive, and dangerous.

It is unnecessary, because there is no satisfactory evidence linking human emissions of carbon dioxide to the Global Warming observed during the 20th century. That was most likely a solar effect as we experienced a grand maximum of solar cycles that brought us out of the Little Ice Age. Similar warm periods occur about every thousand years: Medieval, Roman, and Minoan. Since the present warm period began about 1830, long before significant human emissions of CO2, human activities cannot be blamed. You say that a growing number of scientists reject climate hysteria, and that is true. But a better test would be to look at the qualifications of those scientists. Many, like Professors Richard Lindzen of MIT and Will Happer of Princeton, are tops in their fields (meteorology and physics respectively). Science is never democratic. We do not vote on who is right. We only argue the logic and evidence.

The LCFS is counterproductive, because bio-fuels require roughly as much fossil fuel input as they return in bio-fuel. In other words, they are a monumental waste of time and money that returns only an apparent reduction in carbon intensity. They are a sort of 'laundering of carbon' similar to the illegal 'laundering of money.' Is there ANY benefit in fooling ourselves?

The LCFS is dangerous because it weakens our economy by encouraging wasteful behavior that only benefits those directly involved in the 'laundering of carbon.' Continuing or expanding this stupidity amounts to economic suicide. Our economy should be freed from these green shackles.

It is also important to realize that bio-fuels are inferior to regular fuels. Ethanol has much less energy content per gallon than gasoline, is corrosive to fuel systems, and needs to be trucked rather than sent through efficient pipelines.

The intensive agriculture necessary to produce bio-fuels damages our environment from encouraging the destruction of rainforests to grow palm oil to requiring vast amounts of fertilizer and water to grow corn. No legitimate environmentalist can support this.

Existing bio-fuel requirements have been a disaster for Oregon. Please help all Oregonians by repealing them, not by following California deeper into insanity.

Thanks for your efforts,

Gordon J. Fulks, PhD (Physics)

GA case exposes Obama's efforts to fully negate our US Constitution

2012-01-26T17:29:00.000-08:00

"I just got off the phone with Dean Haskins who was in the courtroom this morning assisting with the Art 2Pac live stream. Judge Malihi talked to the attorneys in chambers before the hearing this morning and told them that he was going to enter a DEFAULT JUDGMENT against Obama and recommend that Obama's name not be on the Georgia ballot! All of the attorneys expressed a desire to put an abbreviated streamlined case on the record and the judge agreed."
http://talkwisdom.blogspot.com/2012/01/breakiing-news-from-obama-eligibility.html

Since the GA Secretary of State has as much as promised to follow Judge Malihi's recommendation as to whether or not Obama is indeed eligible to be placed on the Georgia Ballot in March, then I think it is safe to assume Obama will need to win his party's nomination and the general election without the votes of the good citizens of Georgia.

Pandora's box has now officially been opened to all those brave citizens around the country to demand, like the folks in Georgia did, to see proof the DNC's Presidential nominee is actually eligible to serve as the "Natural Born" President of the United States.

Georgia Court to Finally Ask for Proof of Obama's Eligibility

2012-01-25T16:44:00.000-08:00

A Georgia Court has demanded to see proof that Candidate Barack Obama is indeed a "natural born" citizen before being allowed to have his name placed on Georgia's Democratic primary ballot in March.

I created this video in 2008 with fellow patriot, Jim Ellison, just a few short weeks after this mysterious candidate succeeded in duping the American people into electing him to serve as our "natural born" President, despite revealing very little of his background.

Since then every lawsuit addressing this matter has been halted before it has begun due to "lack of standing" which means that no one individual including one of his former political opponents apparently is qualified to demand our President prove his eligibility under the Constitution. We doubters may finally find satisfaction when this court hears the case tomorrow. I for one would dearly love to see Obama and his team defend the viability of that suspicious looking long form birth certificate that our President is passing off as the genuine article.

Perhaps if at long last it is proven that he has indeed been disingenuous all along in order to command the greatest nation on our planet, then the remedy must include trying Obama and every complicit member of the DNC, Congress and his cabinet for high treason then to resend all of his administration's appointees, laws, rules and agencies. As much as possible all should be returned to the way it was before Obama was elected to be our President.

While I understand that putting the genie back into the bottle may be impossible never the less we citizens of the US deserve to know that everything that can be done will be done to rectify this Constitutional crisis through implementation of safeguards to ward off any future attempts by any foreign person to again falsely assume our country's highest office.

Where did 08's most Conservative Candidate Go?

2012-01-23T14:27:00.000-08:00

Mitt Romney met his wife at Cranbrook/Kingswood where both myself and my mother graduated from high school. My mother was a boarding student who was invited by her friend Jane Romney to spend Thanksgiving with her family in 1955 before Mitt's father entered politics.
I was able to meet Governor Romney after I created this video in 2008 while he was campaigning for John McCain. He was very friendly and seems to be a man of good character and I would be proud to have him take the helm and steer our country back to the shinning beacon of freedom that we once represented.
This will never happen if Mitt does not strongly embrace conservatism.
I just ran in a special election Congressional primary race against a moderate GOP establishment backed LDS candidate, Rob Cornilles. I recognize many similarities in how both the '12 Romney and '11 Cornilles campaigns are run. The same brilliantly stupid theory is obviously being implemented by both campaigns. The flawed concept that you must run to the middle and abandon your base to attract the small number of moderates and enough liberals to win is simply WRONG! You will obviously alienate any strong support FOR you by your base and no self respecting liberal Democrat will abandon their own party to vote for a liberal LIGHT Republican so you LOSE. Which is exactly what happened to Mr. Cornilles when he ran against our disgraced former Congressman, David Wu in 2010. I retain high hopes that Rob's elevated name recognition and the fact that he is running against a person who propped up David Wu for years by hiding his problems from the public, will deliver him a victory this time around.
This plan will not work for Mitt and hopefully he will throw out his current moderate campaign advisors and invite only truly conservative grassroots advisors to direct his campaign if he wishes to serve as our President.

Electing Attractive Conservatives Works Every Time it is tried

2012-01-23T13:43:00.000-08:00

We cannot once again nominate another white haired candidate with nothing but a track record of making speeches in Congress. History shows these kinds of candidates lose every time.

Everyone secretly wants to be onboard a winning team but the primary is not the time to sacrifice your values. There are just two candidates who should seriously be considered to replace the worst President of our lifetime. They both are young enough to retain some of their natural hair color and both have clean records of success.

While Senator Santorum has not governed a state he does have a spotless record of conservatism and has proven himself as an advocate of small honest government. He has been steady Eddy so if we can get people to understand that he can and should win then he will with the strongest record of conservatism.

Governor Romney is also an attractive candidate who history shows should win handily due to his vast experience successfully turning around companies, the corrupt Olymmpics and the State of Massachusetts.
My sister has lived near the Romney family in Massachusetts for 20 years, so I called her in 2008 to ask what she thought of Mitt Romney's leadership as Governor. She said he was amazingly successful, especially considering the fact that her state is overwhelming controlled by Democrats.
When you look at his record he is accustomed to analyzing the situation and devising the best approach to solve the problems necessary to deliver a successful outcome. I was a big supporter of Mitt Romney as the most conservative candidate who was best capable to winning against Obama in 2008. I literally cried for our country when our last hope of victory, Mitt Romney, left the race prematurely in 2008. You can imagine my disappointment when I learned earlier this year that my dream candidate began moving to the middle and leaving his conservative '08 positions behind.
It appears to me that the GOP "king makers" promised him the nomination this year if he would drop out in 2008 paving the way for the MOST unelectable old timer moderate candidate, John McCain. Now that he is back in it he is listening to the same "know nothing" campaign advisors who have steered campaigns like McCains off the cliff for years.
Please someone tell Mitt the tired old theory that you must move to the middle to win in the general is completely false!!
Just think if you are a member of one of the majority groups to the right or to the left and you have an opportunity to vote for a candidate who is truly right or truly left in your own party and a moderate, which one are you going to vote for?
Battleground survey has shown for years that only around 5% to 10% of us actually don't self identify as either conservative or liberal so Mitt stop moving to the middle.

Our nominee needs to follow Ronald Reagan's advise and just be proudly conservative!

2012-01-19T21:07:00.000-08:00

Now it is official the Conservative Party USA's candidate, Senator Rick Santorum did indeed win the Iowa Caucus. Let's hope there are enough patriots in South Carolina who agree with the folks in Iowa and will support the GOP's most consistently Conservative candidate for President- Senator Rick Santorum.

History "Looks" like it Matters when Selecting our Presidential Nominee

2012-01-05T03:27:00.000-08:00

Let history be your guide when nominating a candidate for President.
1. Executive Branch experience trumps Legislative Branch experience for Successful Presidential Candidates.
2. The most attractive candidate always wins which is why in close races both candidates are generally considered to be equally appealing to the voters. Compare the outward appearance of these Presidential opponents to see if this bizarre trend towards the attractive is true for you or not.

Unfortunately history has this nasty tendency to repeat itself. That goes for character flaws and superficial voting preferences alike.

In 2012 the solution is not to vote for either the weighty or grumpy old Congressman, as neither has Executive experience and both are too unattractive to beat Obama in the General Election.

There are several attractive candidates who are still in the hunt. However, the only attractive candidates with “Executive Branch” experience are the 3 Governors Romney, Huntsmen and Perry. Unfortunately, the only true conservative of the group reminds too many skittish Republicans of another Texas Governor who failed to communicate well at the podium.

In 1980 after 4 horrible years under another ultra liberal failed President, Gov. Ronald Reagan ran an unabashedly Conservative campaign with his charm, good looks and quick wit, we voted for his uplifting, Conservative vision of America in overwhelming numbers winning 44 states in 1980 and all but Mondale’s home state of Minnesota in 1984.

Despite being just a Senator, Rick Santorum can win if he emulates Ronald Reagan’s successful strategy, and runs an unabashedly Conservative, limited government, pro Constitution and pro family campaign.

From an historical perspective this is how it “looks” to me.
