On June 27, 2012, the Tuscola County Republican Executive Committee voted unanimously to endorse Congressional Candidate Tom Wassa who is running for Congress in Michigan’s 5th Congressional District. Wassa will face Jim Slezak, a former Democrat, in the Republican primary on August 7th. Tuscola County is divided between the 5th and 10th Congressional Districts, with six townships remaining in the new 5th district. Wassa, who wasn’t present at the executive meeting, was notified of his endorsement shortly after the meeting.
“Our campaign has been gaining momentum daily and it’s endorsements like this that keep us energized. It’s not every day that county parties endorse a candidate who is facing a primary challenger.” - Wassa

Our federal government is growing at the expense of the economy, and as it grows we lose private sector jobs, shifting the tax burden to a smaller percentage of taxpayers. Legislative action that includes government stimulus programs, bailouts, homeowner incentives, and other government programs have all failed.
Legislators in Washington continue to support aggressive tax legislation over spending reforms. It is big government legislators who support the growth of the federal government and legislation that has caused the degradation of our local governments and economy. Every dollar of our national debt is a dollar taken from our communities, and is given to China who holds our debt. Our federal government continues to print money to pay for their reckless spending which has devalued the American dollar. Unfortunately, we feel the effects of their actions in the form of an indirect tax called “inflation”.
As your representative in Washington, I would work hard to restore America. We must reverse the effects of federal governmental growth by aggressively cutting those departments and programs that exceed the law. As your representative, I would not support legislation or funding that exceeds the scope and responsibility of the federal government. I would stand strong on those values, not only to those on the other side of the aisle, but also within my own party.
I alone cannot be your voice in Washington, I need your support. Not only do I need financial support, but I also need platforms to reach out to the communities. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, or would like to assist in my campaign.
Thanks again for your support.
Socialized Healthcare
Written by Thomas Wassa
Every model of socialized healthcare around the world should be considered failures when it comes to compassion or care. In Canada some cities have established a local lottery to move patients to the front of the healthcare waiting lines. Canadians are crossing over the boarder to the United States to seek out efficient healthcare, willing to pay for it out of their own pocket. In Europe there are reports of mothers giving birth in lobby's and parking lots because there are not enough hospital beds. Furthermore, these countries are giving seniors end of life counseling and comfort care instead of the government paying for the treatment they need.
We have been told that socialized healthcare systems around the world are far more superior then the United States. Tom Wassa knows that this is a fabrication that has been used to support a socialized healthcare in the United States. Tom Wassa knows that our government has been remiss in providing us the details on the devastating impact of the Healthcare Bill on our economy and healthcare.
Your Tax Dollars
Written by Thomas Wassa
As a local leader, Tom Wassa has developed and balanced local governmental budgets for over 14 years. He knows that at the local level pennies count when it comes to taxpayer’s money, and there should be no difference at the federal level. Tom Wassa would work hard to cut all unconstitutional programs, projects, or departments in an effort to balance the budget. There would be no question that Tom Wassa would oppose any efforts on the part of Democrats or Republicans to raise the debt ceiling.
The Economics of Renewable Energy
Written by Thomas Wassa
Our landscape has been littered with unsightly windmills, which provide us no real alternative to fossil fuels. Currently renewable energy provides no cost savings or economic benefit to the consumer. The renewable energy program is currently mandated as part of the federal air permitting process, which requires fossil fuel plants to produce a small percentage of renewable energy in order to operate. Our federal government gives electrical providers no alternatives but to erect windmills and to engage in other alternative energy projects. The installation and operations of the windmills are subsided by your tax dollars, and by your ever-increasing electrical bills. Based on data, windmills will never generate enough power to meet our electrical power needs. Moreover, it takes more energy to construct the windmill then it will ever produce, and the cost of the windmill will never be recovered during the operational life of the windmill.
