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. I expect to be running in the Democratic Primary in August of 2012.
Once elected to the House of Representatives I vow to put People ahead of Politics. Republicans seem to put politics ahead of people. 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.
I expect to be a great Congressman. That's my commitment to you, and I'll always do my best to you proud. Take a look at this website to learn more about me and what I stand for.
The signature issue for my first term in Congress will be to end animal abuse on factory farms. Even a freshman congressman should be able to an have impact on this important issue.

Bill Haas - Not Your Usual Politician
"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 - April 23, 1910
"Some people see things as they are and ask ‘Why?’ -I dream things that never were and ask ‘Why not?’"
Bobby Kennedy
People Not Politics
"My gifts are God's gifts, and if I do well, it's God's work."
The 2nd District may still be perceived as more of a Republican district, but it’s more moderate after redistricting and Obama got 48% of the district in 2008. So the right Democrat, well-funded, can beat the wrong Republican, and I believe I’m the right Democrat. You never know what God's plan is.
As you may remember, I was the Democrat nominee for this district in 2008. After concluding that a Democrat could not beat Akin, in 2010, I ran for congress in 2012 in the Republican primary against Akin as a moderate. I didn’t change any of my issues. I thought that between moderate Republicans, Independents, and Democrats who could cross over since there was no contested Democratic primary, that I would have a chance to beat the ultra-conservative Todd Akin. It was sound in theory, but people forgot to tell me there was no such thing as a moderate Republican anymore, and the teapartiers done me in. I’m back in the Democratic primary where I belong and expect to have a chance to win if my campaign is well-funded and I can bring my message to the people. If everyone who views my website and would like to defeat the Republican nominee, whoever that may be, contributes $25, I’m there.
"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."
Missouri's 2nd Congressional District
The 2nd district consists of much of St. Louis County, half of St. Charles County, and all of Lincoln County.
