mnpACT’s Dave Mindeman and I recently asked candidate Dan Powers questions about government, issues, and John Kline votes. Dan is running for John Kline’s Congressional District 2 seat here in Minnesota and has made waves everywhere he’s gone.  He has no problem filling a room for his “meet and greets.”
I can relate to Dan [...]

Congressman John Kline (R-MN) doesn’t understand we can use government to help make lives better while we simultaneously work to protect individual liberties.

I attended Kline’s town hall tonight.  I’m glad he was there, but I got that same old feeling.  Full post tomorrow.

I can tell from the Coleen Rowley endorsement that Dan Powers must have a lot of integrity. Go Dan!

Taxpayers recently paid for a special report to be mailed out in Minnesota’s Congressional District 2 (please see the image to the left, which is of Kline’s report).
