WHY VOTE SEPTEMBER 9?
Why is September 9th such an important day? It's the date of the Minnesota State Primary where you will have the opportunity to determine who will be the Democratic Candidate for the United States Senate; Priscilla Lord Faris or Al Franken.
Al Franken does not represent Minnesota values:
His coarse humor and language is demeaning to women and minorities.
His tax problems and questionable financial transactions are not consistent with the way most Minnesotans view their responsibilities.
He has lived in New York almost all of his adult life and has moved to Minnesota just to run for office.
Most of his funding comes from his Hollywood and entertainment business contacts.
He has demeaned and insulted other Senators and office holders, the very people he will have to work with to accomplish anything in Washington.
In his own words he is an angry man, and he screams profanities and insults to those who disagree with him.
He says he would not be a good person to hold political office because he is "indecisive" and he views politics as interesting only because the election races are interesting.
He is behind Coleman by 15 points in the polls.
I represent Minnesota values:
Fourth generation lifetime resident of Minnesota
University of Minnesota and Hamline Law School graduate
Demonstrated abilities as a respectful advocate, mediator and problem solver.
Small business owner for 24 years.

Teacher of 3rd grade and special education
Young Life staff member
YOUR VOTE ON SEPTEMBER 9 IS CRITICAL AND IT COUNTS.
I urge you to vote for me in the Democratic Primary. You may not vote in both the Democratic and Republican primaries at the same time, but by voting in the Democratic Primary on September 9th, you are NOT prohibited from voting for candidates from either party in November. We need a strong Democratic candidate in November to begin to reverse all of the damages done by the Bush/Cheney/Coleman administration in Washington.
