Wil Armstrong for Congress

Congress has gone off the rails. Partisan political bickering has become the Congressional standard while thoughtful debate about tough policy issues is as rare in our Capitol today as a bill to cut federal spending.

The best way to get Congress back on track with Main Street America is with a grassroots revolution that will change some of the resumes of people we send to Congress.

With the current job approval for Congress at just 15%, it is clear that Americans are looking for change. And real change will come when we start sending more "citizen legislators" to Washington to shake up the way Congress does business.

Federal spending is out of control, the federal government is bigger and more intrusive, and legislators are seemingly disconnected from the real concerns of the people they represent. And I, for one, am no longer willing to just stand on the sidelines. I'm running for Congress because I want to help change things.
