Rob "Rush" Ruszkowski for Congress
Independent running in Georgia's 14th Congressional District located in the beautiful Northwest portion of the State.
Why I'm Running as an Independent
The 2 Political Party's in Washington are driving the U.S.A. off a Cliff
Northwest Georgia has always been home to Hardworking People with Big Hearts and Honest Values — the kind of Americans who keep this country standing even when Washington forgets them.
And Washington has forgotten them.
Both parties have spent years fighting each other while supporting the same Special Interests instead of Fighting for the People. Our District, and Our Nation, have Paid the Price.
THAT ENDS NOW!
I'm running as an Independent for U.S. Congress because the people of this District and Country Deserve Better! Better Representation that works For the People, NOT for a PARTY that's been corrupted by the Powerful Elite.
This Special Election offers something rare in American politics:
A Real Chance for a Non-Party, People-Powered Candidate to Rise and Win.
For once, the draconian Georgia ballot-access petition signature requirements ( 35-40 Thousand!!! Registered Voter signatures needed in a 6 month window ) that usually block Independent/3rd Party Voices are not standing in the way. Getting on the ballot is not as big a battle for this Special Election — earning the People’s Trust is.
And make no mistake: This election will not just be watched in Northwest Georgia or in the state of Georgia.
The Entire Country — and even the World — will be watching to see whether Americans are finally ready to say Enough to the Corruption and Dysfunction in Washington, and to the broken politics that trickle all the way down to the Local Level.
This Special Election is a Rare Opportunity to send a message that can echo across the Nation — and ripple around the Globe. A message that the people are reclaiming OUR Government.
Only with your Support — Wherever you Live — Will We Restore your Voice in D.C. and Show the Entire Nation what Real Accountability and Real Unity look like when they begin at the Local Level.
For generations, the Statue of Liberty’s torch has stood as a beacon of Hope for the World.
Today, Americans are searching for a New, Brighter Torch —
One lifted by the People Themselves.
This Campaign and Northwest Georgia will be that Light.
And Together, we will help guide a Country that’s Ready to Rise Again.

LOWERING THE COST OF LIVING -
THE SOLUTION
LOWERING THE COST OF LIVING - REAL COMPETITION, REAL RELIEF
I WILL FIGHT TO:
- Break up corporations that control excessive market share
- Enforce antitrust laws against price fixing and collusion
- Block mergers that eliminate competition
- Protect small businesses, farmers, and independent producers
- Restore real competition across food, energy, housing, healthcare, and transportation
This is pro-market, pro-business, and pro-consumer.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
Real competition means:
- Lower grocery bills
- Fairer food and fuel prices
- Stronger local businesses
- More choice, not less
- Prices that come down without cutting wages or benefits
That’s how America kept costs affordable for decades — before monopolies took over.
THE PROMISE
Lowering the cost of living doesn’t require blaming workers or accepting permanent price hikes.
It requires ending corporate control of our markets and restoring an economy that serves the people — not billionaires.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING FAMILIES IN NW GA
The biggest problem facing families in Northwest Georgia isn’t laziness, immigration, or government handouts.
It’s prices that are rigged upward.
Groceries, meat, energy, housing, healthcare, and basic goods keep getting more expensive because too few corporations control too much of our economy. When competition disappears, prices rise — permanently.
That’s not a free market.
That’s private price control.
THE TRUTH OTHERS WON’T SAY
You cannot lower the cost of living without breaking up corporate oligopolies.
Both major parties talk about “inflation,” but refuse to confront the real cause:
- Corporate consolidation
- Price fixing and collusion
- Market power concentrated in the hands of a few mega-corporations
They won’t say it — because they’re funded by the same interests that profit from higher prices.
NO KINGS! NO TITANS! NO BILLIONAIRES! NO MORE!
A GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS — FOR YOU
I’m not a career politician.
I’m a small business owner, a father, and a neighbor who’s spent his life building things from the ground up.
I’m also a musician and activist—using music to give voice to people who feel unheard, and to remind us that real change doesn’t start in party headquarters, it starts in our communities.
I believe power belongs with the people—not political parties, corporations, or billionaires.
I’m running for Congress because government should serve people—not manage them.
This campaign is about one simple idea:
It’s not left vs. right.
It’s people vs. corruption.
Here’s how we fix it — and how it helps Northwest Georgia.
