About the Candidates:
Barb Davis White (R):
This is Barb Davis White and I am running for Congress in the 5th District of Minnesota.

The people of this Great Country have had their hearts broken by the likes of Government Officials in whom we trusted. Where is the decency and the indictments of those who placed us in this position from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Are we just supposed to accept all of this as gospel? The People of this Great Land are the ones who can now be trusted, and they begged and pleaded for our Conservative leaders not to vote for an unconstitutional bailout amendment. It is now law and our cries could not be heard. Barely 10% wanted this "Bailout"

This new law cannot guarantee any remedies, and it is sad that we must also sit down and read the PORK along with the rest of the amendment. My opponent Keith Ellison was speaking in Minnesota, and then flew to Washington DC, and unless he is a speed reader he did not have the time to properly digest what was thrown at our children and our children’s' children. This is an atrocity and May the Lord God have mercy on The UNited States of America. (I left the first two letters capitalized as that is where I believe we are heading.)  For more infomation go to www.barbdaviswhiteforcongress.com.

Bill McGaughey (I):

Bill McGaughey (pronounced “MaGoy”) came from a privileged background. He was the oldest of four children born to Joanna and William McGaughey, Sr. in Detroit where his father held public-relations positions in the automobile industry.

His father’s father was a medical doctor who was an ardent Republican. Hence his father’s full name: William Howard Taft McGaughey. His mother’s father was a lawyer from Putnam County who became Democratic leader of the Indiana state senate. Without knowing each other then, his parents both served as pages in the Indiana legislature.

William McGaughey Sr. was a protégé of George Romney, CEO of American Motors and later Governor of Michigan and Housing Secretary in Richard Nixon’s cabinet. At one time, Romney was considered Nixon’s main rival for the Republican nomination for President.
Romney and McGaughey both worked as industry representatives when the automobile industry converted to war production during World War II. While Romney headed American Motors, McGaughey became its vice president in charge of communications. His main achievement was to pick a proposed television show from a list of ad-agency recommendations. That show was Disneyland. It helped the Rambler become a brisk-selling car and launched Romney’s political career. The “compact car” revolution of the late 1950s resulted from Rambler’s success. After Romney left American Motors, William McGaughey became senior vice president of the National Association of Manufacturers in New York and Washington, D.C.
