I normally do not devote this blog to political information that does not pertain to technology just so I can stay on a particular subject. However, I feel that it is so very important that I share the letter that I wrote to the subscribers at SMSU Politics today:
Attention All College Republicans,
You all probably know why I am sending out this email. Tomorrow (Tuesday, November 2) our community, our state, and our nation have a vitally important election.
We have the opportunity to once again exercise our right to vote. And Vote We Must! The liberals have been out in force this year. They have insulted our troops, they have vowed to raise taxes if elected, and have they committed to unraveling all that our conservative movement has sought to achieve in the past decade.
Under the leadership of Governor Tim Pawlenty, with representatives like Marty Seifert, our state has been the beneficiary of astounding growth. We currently have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation (3.9%).
Under the leadership of President Bush, and our congressmen like Mark Kennedy, our nation is just beginning the work of securing our borders with new bills passed that will place a fence along key areas of the U.s. Mexico border.
The list could go on and on, but you all know the many advances our nation has made in the past decade.
The thing is that if the democrats take over, in both state and national elections, we will see a repeal on much of the benefit we have seen come to our state and our nation in the past ten years. We will see a rise in taxes, a cut and run from the war on terror, and a large amount of bureaucracy put on top of the existing government structure.
A vote for the democrats will surely not benefit anyone!
That being said, this election will be very close. Your vote will matter. Many elections are likely to be decided by just a handful of votes.
Please remember to vote tomorrow. It is important to our future that you stand up for what is right, and that we push back the preemptive liberal status quo so that we can make our state and our nation better for us all.
The Republicans have endorsed the following excellent candidates because of their integrity, their strong belief in a free and conservative government, and their commitment to the people of the state of Minnesota:
Mark Kennedy ………………… U.S. Senate
Michael Barrett ……………… U.S. Congress
Tim Pawlenty ………………… Governor
Jeff Johnson ………………… Attorney General
Mary Kiffmeyer ………………. Secretary of State
Pat Anderson ………………… State Auditor
Dennis Frederickson ………….. State Senator
Marty Seifert ……………….. State Representative
While the choice is yours, I would like to encourage you to print off this email, and sincerely consider voting for the above individuals.I have met and spoken with each one of them at one time or another and I believe that they are dedicated to making a better Minnesota for us all.
Counting on YOUR vote,
Terry Pearson
SMSU College Republicans Secretary
