The dccc is king making a Congressional candidate that is a dino in Minnesota's sixth district. Donating and fund raising for Elwyn Tinklenberg while ignoring progressive Scott Mortensen for an OPEN SEAT! Check it out:
From Minnesota Public Radio:
Tinklenberg opposes legalized abortion, favors gun rights and supports a federal ban on gay marriage, provided there are some legal protections in place for gay couples.
http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2005/06/14_scheckt_tinklenberg/ I also heard he supports Bush's handling of the Iraq war. He is running on the Dems's ticket.
Contact them at dccc@dccc.org and ask them to at least mention Scotty Mortensen. www.scottymortensen.com
I want to retake the House. No more Republican light! In 2002 Janet Roberts "a Republican light like Tinklenberg" lost to Mark Kennedy 57%-35%.
In 2004 Patty Wetterling a more progressive Democrat lost by only 30,000 votes. 54% to 46% http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/elections/2004/mn/ And that was after Republicans aligned her with Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein in an ugly smear tactic. Overall trends are leaning to Democrats. Learn from Paul Hackett. Trust a local guy who grew up in the sixth district and lived there for 25 years.
Scott is a true progressive that stands for all people.
From Scotty Mortensen's website:
"Politicians want to use controversial issues to divide us. I urge Minnesotans to reject the notion of voting on one or two controversial issues to the detriment of our interests as a people. I ask Minnesotans in the sixth district, to consider the overall platform of our campaign to elevate the rights of people, over playing politics. I am opposed to all forms of discrimination, and will never support writing discriminatory law into the US Constitution" http://www.scottymortensen.com/scottymortensen_014.htm
Please contact the Dccc at dccc@dccc.org now and ask them for at least equal support for both candidates. The people should choose, not the dccc.
