August 12, 2011--Rep. Thad
McCotter spoke
for
a
relatively brief six minutes and twenty seconds, emphasizing that
government "must become citizen
driven and more horizontal and democratized." "In the 21st
century the future is not big government, it is self
government," McCotter stated. "It is the empowerment of the
individual, it is the
empowerment of you." McCotter
took eight questions covering autism, qualifications for a politician,
the super committee, the Clean Air Act, threats to sovereignty, the
Second Amendment, recapitalizing banks, and health care. [transcript]
