An Open Letter Form Congressman West
Dear Fellow Patriots,
I write to you today with mixed emotions. As you have probably heard by now, on Tuesday, I announced my decision to seek reelection in the new proposed 18th Congressional District.
It was not an easy decision, and one I reached only after much reflection, prayer and consultation with family, friends and supporters like you.
Representing the people of the 22nd Congressional District has been among the highest honors of my life. I am honored by the trust that voters have placed in me this past year. I am truly humbled by the generosity and support of thousands of Floridians, and Americans, who have knocked doors, made phone calls, and donated their hard-earned dollars to our campaigns over the past four years.

West Won’t Flinch at Selling Medicare Cuts to Florida Seniors

If some U.S. House Republicans are having qualms about the political fallout over their plan to privatize Medicare, Allen West isn't one of them.
Less than two weeks after voter opposition to the Medicare proposal helped elect a Democrat to an open House seat in New York, West offered constituents in his south Florida district an unambiguous defense of the plan that Republicans say is needed to save the federal insurance program for the elderly.
“We have got to do something about this program or else,” he told voters of the 22nd Congressional District at a June 6 town-hall meeting at Old Davie School Historical Museum, a 1918 national landmark that sits amid Florida’s commercial and residential sprawl.
