My state rep., Elizabeth Coulson, announced that she's running for Congress, in the 10th District. I'm running for her seat, in the 17th District. If you know anyone who wants to help me, by volunteering and/or
donating, please ask them to email me at philacollins@yahoo.com. I'm pro-tax cuts, pro-spending cuts, pro-life, pro-gun rights, and anti-illegal alien. In the 2006 primary, I ran against Rep. Kirk, as a write-in candidate, because I think that he's so liberal, he should be a Democrat. The Daily Herald printed an article about me. The day after the election, that paper said that I received 144 votes, although I didn't spend any money on the campaign. I've been a member of the ICRC for six years and a member of the steering committee for almost four years. For the past month, I've been the ICRC executive director, and I hope to increase membership and meeting frequency. I've been a member of the RALC for almost seven years. I was in the navy for 21 years, including six months near Baghdad, in the Triangle of Death.
