"Government must be limited to prevent tyranny and oppression and to maximize individual Rights and Liberties. Our Constitution goes to great lengths to limit the power of Government. Government should be limited and should intrude as little as possible into the private sector, including the free marketplace, religious and social establishments, and the personal lives of Citizens. It should be lean, efficient, and beholden to the People and the Constitution." -- Dr. Art Coday

by Steve Beren

I've had the opportunity to meet each of the GOP candidates seeking to unseat Patty Murray. And I've interviewed them, one on one, no holds barred, for an average of two hours each. Also, I've attended the three Candidate Forums. I've done my research, and I know these candidates well.

With Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts, it is clear that a powerful change is sweeping America. The American people are standing up, speaking out, and voting in favor of protecting liberty, in favor of cutting federal spending, and in favor of protecting constitutional government. The Tea Party movement, the townhall protesters, and other grassroots pro-liberty movements have inspired and electrified the nation.

Copying the Massachusetts Miracle for Washington State

My goal is to promote "five star conservatism" right in the heart of liberal Seattle - and throughout the state of Washington. Senator Patty Murray, who is so closely tied to President Obama's failed policies, is more vulnerable than ever. I believe that I can best help promote the cause of liberty in our state put concentrating all my efforts, resources, and talents into helping replace Senator Murray this fall.

I endorse Dr. Art Coday for U.S. Senate. He is an outstanding candidate, a true conservative, a sincere defender of freedom, and a passionate patriot. Dr. Coday is a dedicated physician who knows - from the inside, from his own life and work experiences - that increased government control of healthcare will be severely harmful to the American people.

As a physician, Dr. Coday is uniquely qualified to get the Senate on the right track towards true healthcare reform based on a free market approach. He is deeply devoted to the elderly, disabled, and the very poor.

Art Coday has correctly centered his message on economic growth and job creation. As he said in the Seattle Times, Congress should act to revitalize the economy "by controlling its insatiable urge to spend our hard-earned money, lowering tax rates, and paying off a national debt that is ruining our credit." This issue cuts across all demographic and ideological lines, and has a special appeal to independent voters and others who don't necessarily usually vote Republican. Dr. Coday presents unmistakably common-sense solutions to the issues troubling the American people.

Dr. Coday is the candidate who is in the best position to promote liberty and to defeat Patty Murray. He is an outstanding and effective communicator, and possesses a brilliant intellect - he graduated from the University Washington, magna cum laude, with honors, with a degree in cellular and molecular biology, and then went on to Harvard Medical School where he earned his Doctor of Medicine degree.

What a contrast to Patty Murray!

Art Coday is a fiscal conservative, favoring reduced spending and lower taxes, a return to constitutional government, an audit of the Federal Reserve, and an end to corporate bailouts and phony "stimulus" programs. He is a strong proponent of border security first and a strong opponent of amnesty for illegal immigrants. He is a national security conservative, advocating a strategy of peace through strength and supporting our troops in the war against terrorism.

From his campaign website:

The preamble of the Constitution names provision for "the common defence" as one of the primary reasons for which the Constitution was ordained an established. Indeed, this is one of the primary functions of our Government, and it should fulfill this duty honorably and reliably. However, as keepers of the Constitution, providing for the common defense is also our responsibility. We should not withhold our willing service or treasure when called upon by our Country for its defense, nor should our Government take away our ability to defend ourselves and our Nation by unduly infringing upon our right to keep and bear arms.

There are Tea Party students, Tea Party veterans, Tea Party housewives, Tea Party retirees, and Tea Party business owners. Art Coday is not just a doctor - he is a Tea Party activist and patriot. He's for less spending and less government. Coday is for less taxation and more representation.

Art Coday is the candidate who is best able to raise the necessary funds, win key endorsements, and persuade voters. He is the best candidate to go toe-to-toe in a debate with Patty Murray.

Note - Steve Beren, a staunchly Pro-Defense libertarian-conservative, is a two-time Republican candidate for Congress (Jim McDermott seat), in the Seattle area.
