Josh on FaceBookSeptember 14: Vote for Josh Dowlut
for Maryland's 2nd Congressional District

It's time for the GOP to try something else!


In an election that is sure to be about the interrelated storm of the economy, jobs, and the budget, I'm the best man for the job.

I'm the candidate who has:

  • Served in the US Marines (with the Marine Corps Reserve).
  • Owned and operated a small business and directly felt the effects of the payroll tax and government regulation.
  • Written on economic, fiscal, and monetary policy matters.
  • Been published in the Baltimore Sun multiple times.
  • Been on every Baltimore TV station, on a major Baltimore radio station, and in the Baltimore Sun fighting against political corruption.

And I am the candidate who:

  • Advocates exempting all businesses from complying with the payroll surcharge tax on its first 20 employees.
  • Advocates encouraging states to deregulate small businesses.
  • Advocates going toe to toe with government unions to cut bureaucrats' pay to parity and to phase-out unsustainable, unjust pensions.
  • Advocates cutting government contractor spending by 5% per year until the ability to function is impaired, at which point it can level out.
  • Advocates bringing all of the troops home. Policing the world is inconsistent with fiscal responsibility.
  • Advocates the politically unthinkable but the solvently necessary actions to save Social Security: raise the retirement age, cut benefits, or raise taxes.
  • Identifies that the bank bailouts were not profitable, are still ongoing, and have no precedent outside of pre-revolutionary France.
  • Offers a well thought out, economically, and fiscally sound alternative to the bank bailouts: FDIC was staring us in the face all along. Transfer assets and liabilities from the failed to the unfailed, or to the new if necessary.
  • Recognizes that the bank bailouts are the best battleground we have to unite to fight against incumbents who voted for it.
  • Understands what must be done if we don't want another financial meltdown: Credit gatekeepers must not be allowed to divorce themselves from credit risk. The current financial regulation proposal treats symptoms, not causes.

Platforms of platitudes are not going to get it done. We need good, specific ideas, and I have them.
