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 [...]

Dan Powers says Rebuild the Middle Class, John Kline talks Earmarks

Both Powers and Kline are concerned about spending, but Powers talks about maintaining good programs and using government to help us while Kline talks about earmarks.
The Dan Powers approach: Fiscal Responsibility, Rebuilding the Middle Class
Dan Powers owns a construction company, and he fell and broke his back.   Even though they said he might [...]

Interview with Dan Powers

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 [...]

Interview with Shelley Madore

Democrat Shelley Madore, candidate for John Kline’s Congressional District 2 seat here in Minnesota, has lots of moxy to go with her experience.  She’ll get right in there, toe to toe, with John Kline.  She’s in it for the families.  Some have said no one works harder than Shelley Madore.  Her strength is her experience, [...]

Let’s use government, protect individual liberties.

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.
He recently voted against barring insurance companies from denying coverage to children with pre-existing illness.  This HCR bill helps hardworking American families tackle health care problems by regulating a private [...]

Where are you getting that money, John Kline?

Republicans who appear to support popular government programs at the same time as they call for tax cuts are irresponsible and more out of touch than ever before. The Bush/Kline “tax cuts for the wealthy” years did not result in sustained prosperity but instead have left us with a government unable to help families who [...]

Republicans AWOL, or AW/OL on Education

Is there a military term for absent without leaving?
Republicans recently issued the Republican Principles for Ensuring Student Success in the 21st Century, which, when we look at our current educational problems, is like trying to apply a band-aid to a severed foot.
Instead of nice sounding talk, we need true leadership and decisive action.  We’re [...]

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 [...]
