MI: Constitution Party Nominates Mother and Political Activist for Governor

From State News:

When President Barack Obama was elected and began promoting his economic stimulus package, Stacey Mathia decided she needed to do something. A mom of four who spent her time homeschooling and serving on the Village Council of Fife Lake, Mich., Mathia decided to run for governor. The U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan, an affiliate of the U.S. Constitution Party, officially nominated her as their gubernatorial candidate Sunday. 

As a staunch supporter of the Tea Party movement, Mathia said she felt running for governor was the best way to help Michigan and the U.S. “I didn’t just want to see our country destroyed before our eyes,” she said. As governor, her top concern is restoring state sovereignty promised in the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Mathia said.
