Bill Haas for US Congress
I'm Bill Haas, and I want to represent you, the 2nd District of Missouri, in Congress, the House of Representatives.
Once elected to the House of Representatives I vow to put People ahead of Politics. My opponent in the general election, the current incumbent, Todd Akin, seems to put politics ahead of people, as when he voted against health-care for children. The people of Missouri deserve better representation, and I will represent the people when I'm elected to Congress. I will put that before partisan politics.
So if you're tired of business as usual in Congress, vote for Bill Haas for US Congress, and help me get elected by your financial contribution and recommending me to others. You will be removing one of the most extreme congressmen, and getting a real good one in return.
I'm going to make a great Congressman. That's my commitment to you, and I'll always do my best to make you proud. Take a look at this website to learn more about me and what I stand for.

Bill Haas - Not Your Usual Politician!
"Some people see things as they are and ask ‘Why?’ -I dream things that never were and ask ‘Why not?’"
Bobby Kennedy
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again … who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly."
Theodore Roosevelt
People Not Politics
"My gifts are God's gifts, and if I do well, it's God's work."
I may be the underdog, and some say I don't have much chance, but I'm going to beat my friend Todd Akin anyway.
You never know what God's plan is. And who better to bring the dysfunctional Congress together than a Republican who used to be a Democrat?
"As your congressman, I would have an obligation to represent the views, values and interests of my constituents, and I can and will do that."
With a District that may be somewhat evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, that may not always be easy to do, but I should try, and will. As an elected Democrat I might have had somewhat more freedom to vote with the Democrats on close or complicated issues, but as a Republican I think I'd have more ability to help the parties carve out common ground to bring the Congress and the country together.
Todd Akin - More About Politics Than People
5000 children in our district lose their health care coverage when Akin voted to sustain the S-CHIP Veto.
He voted against children! he voted against veterans! He voted against seniors and Medicare! He voted against jobs and improving the economy! He knows or should know better! These don't represent your values or my values. They shouldn't be Republican or Democratic values. And they're sure as h--- not American values. I can and will represent well the values and interests of you, the people of our 2nd District. Todd Akin has been your representative for 10 years. What has he done for you? I like him, and he's my friend and a nice man and will make a fine private citizen. But he's had his chance. Now it should be mine, and ours, don't you think?
