Here in Michigan, I know people are doing their best to make a good life for themselves and their families. When it comes down to it, I think that’s what we all really want.

I’m running for Congress to make life a little easier for all the families who feel they have fallen through the cracks in today’s economy. I believe building a new economy is a team effort, and we need to bring fresh voices to the table to get the job done.

Please join my campaign, and together we can build that new economy for Michigan.

Melissa Gilbert is running for Congress yet she evidently owes $500,000 in taxes to the IRS & the state of California and doesn't plan to pay it off for 10 years. In other words, she's a Democrat.

She’s running as a Democrat in a Michigan district that’s gone to Republicans since the ‘90s. Still, Gilbert, who is married to actor Timothy Busfield, has raised a lot of money from her celebrity pals, including Alec Baldwin, Aaron Sorkin and Michael Douglas.

There you go. Just lay on those labels, always puts things in perspective. And yes, she is a Democrat, and yes, she is trying to pay it off, not make excuses like some do.
