Running for Governor of this great state is about you the citizens.  I know what you're thinking; “Here we go: Its all about the little guy.”  Seriously, it is about the citizens of Minnesota.  Its about how the citizens have been cheated by the current administration.  Though I agree with Governor Pawlenty about many things I can not agree with his attitude of flat out denial to every viewpoint that doesn't line up perfectly with his.  Saying “NO” to everything is not governing.  Governing is about compromise but not compromising core principles.  The state constitution demands that the state budget covers three areas: Education, Transportation and Defense.  In the 150 years since Minnesota was granted statehood many things have changed.  Gone are the days when it is us against nature and if elected gone are the days of paying political favors with appointments to the environmental agencies.  I will make sure that qualified people lead our state agencies.  We as a people, of not only the State of Minnesota but of this planet must do things better.  Neither the United States nor the Minnesota Constitutions are validated by the internal combustion engine.  We use energy as a species this is a fact.  We need to be smarter about producing AND using that energy in our society.  As Governor I will not only make Minnesota a leader in this area of research but of industry as well.  If this is what you want in a Governor then please contact me or donate by clicking the proper button on the left side of this page.
