Thoughts on the election

To the editor:

We are now less than two weeks away from Election Day Nov. 8, I want to express a few of my thoughts for those who are unsure on who to vote for. Just because you say you are Republican you don’t have to go in and vote down the line Republican and because you may be supporting Democrat candidate also does not mean you need to go down the line and vote Democrat.

Someone asked me about two months ago what does DFL stand for and I didn’t know Now I do! Democratic-Farmers-Labor Party “Creating a Better Life for Minnesotans” Opportunity, Accountability and Prosperity We support:

Employment A job for every Minnesotan who wants one

Economy A strong climate for small businesses

Safety safe neighborhoods and streets

  • Democracy Fair, open elections

Labor The worker’s right to organize and bargain collectively

  • Fair Taxes Basic services at a fair price, progressive taxation based on means
  • Health Care Access to affordable health care
  • Freedom of conscience, expression and worship
  • Due process of law
  • Equal access to justice and public services
  • Environment a clean, safe environment

I recently attended Meet the Candidates at Pioneer Public Television. I listened to when they were asked a question and I heard the answers. I encourage you all to go to pioneerpublic.org and meet your candidates prior to casting your vote.

Friends and family with young kids please pay attention to Andrew Falk, who supports early childhood education; his opponent Tim Miller does not!

Please go vote!
