NO BULL Event at Angler’s Park in Lakeville, Colin Lee, Steve Quist, Sigrid Iversen, Dan Powers

What fun! We went to the No Bull event at Angler’s Park (Lakeville, MN) tonight. And, zoinks! My two photos of Colin Lee didn’t turn out. (Have one of Colin at this event?  I’d be grateful if you’d e-mail me a photo).
We enjoyed ourselves. Thanks, Colin, for organizing this event. [...]

A Values Match: Dan Powers, Minnesota Congressional District 2

Dan Powers values good sustainable jobs, strong families, a clean environment, and empowering businesses to do better.  He’ll get in office and work for us instead of for massive money, big company dollars.  He wants fair taxation, a strong America, and fiscal responsibility.  And he is listening as he creates his action plan– he won’t [...]

Is John Kline representing his old employer (see trips paid for by the Heritage Foundation), or representing us, the little folk?
In America, we are the government.  And those we elect do things for us we cannot do ourselves.  Right now we need help with health care costs, roads, schools, and the protection of our rights.
The [...]

John Kline, do you really want to help small business owners?

Representative Kline, if you actually want to listen, I’m answering # 4 of your latest constituent survey. Across the board income tax cuts won’t work, but giving money directly to the workers will.  Plus, tax cuts are not “free” and DO increase the national debt.
We don’t want the rich to get richer.  We [...]

CD2’s Dan Powers

Dan Powers called today.
Dan, who is running against Minnesota’s CD2 Representative John Kline, would vote FOR a Health Reform bill, even though he isn’t happy with the House version being discussed due to certain exclusions outlined within the bill.  He feels Democrats need to act, however, and so he’d vote for change and keep working [...]

John Kline: Best Health Care in the World

Minnesota’s Republican Congressman John Kline recently said, “Minnesota is known for its excellent health care, with patients flying to the state from around the world.” John Kline also said: “We have the best health care system in the world.”
That reminds me of when, as a kid, I was stuck on the outside of [...]
