With that statement, Spears, a successful Lafayette entrepreneur and co-founder of Firefly Digital Inc, a premier website design and development firm, began his announcement as a candidate for the United States Senate this fall.
"It's no accident I've chosen this historic day to announce my candidacy," said Spears with his wife standing at his side. "On this day in 1775, a shot was fired heard round the world, and the fight for liberty ignited."
"Washington is awash in corruption and irresponsible spending. Lawmakers disregard the constitution and defy the American people's will," Spears said.
"Its time to re-ignite the fight for liberty, to take the Tea Party into the halls of Congress, to take back our country."
Spears, a conservative Independent, believes too many of America's leaders have become little more than a disconnected political elite, bent on changing the fundamental truths of a free America. "They seem more intent on partisan politics than on public service."
Promising to take seeds of a revival, and to return integrity and honor to Washington, Spears said that while he is a "Washington outsider, he is an American insider."
More than political talk, Spears is already proposing a 5 point strategy for restoring America to its original glory, one that will restore integrity, prosperity and the U.S. Constitution.
Spears has been recognized over the past 10 years for his achievements and work on behalf of education, arts, economic development and small business. Spears also conceptualized and designed the Website Gadget® and MINDSHARE™, web-based software that allow business people to manage information.
He served with the 256th Infantry Brigade of the Louisiana National Guard from 1984 to 1993. He was a Sergeant First Class with the Combat Military Police unit and is a Veteran of the Gulf War.
Mike Spears was an honor graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a BA in Communications. He graduated as the department's top graduate.
He and his wife, Ilse, reside in Lafayette, Louisiana.
