"4th Congressional District, meet Sean Bielat. Again." March 04, 2012|By David Filipov
Bielat steers clear of social issues like same-sex marriage and abortion. He has never identified himself as a Tea Party candidate but says he shares positions with the movement on debt reduction, limiting the powers of the federal government, “a return to traditional Constitutional values,’’ and a strong national defense.
He is a member of group that helps shape national defense policy of Mitt Romney, the most moderate of the Republican presidential hopefuls.

That's considered moderate? Seems extreme to me.
Bielat speaks against cuts to the defense budget that would reduce the country’s combat capability, and said he would support air strikes against Iran if that country’s actions threatened Israel.
Then I don't support him.
Yet he believes the decision to go to war should not be made lightly - it should require an act of Congress, rather than an executive decree, as he said was the case in Libya.
Legislators, he says, must reflect the will of the people, not party loyalties....
Yeah, good luck with that one down there. AIPAC meet with you yet?
The message resonated with Raffaela Feinstein, 60, who was one of a half-dozen volunteers to show up at the Golden Spoon in Hopkinton to meet Bielat....
Yeah, I guess they have.
