Letter - Make our democracy work as our forefathers intended

To the editor:

Fellow voters in HD12B including Sauk Centre, Villard, Lowry, Starbuck, Albany and southern Douglas County, it’s time to vote again and make our democracy work as our forefathers intended.

Please check out Rick Rosenfield. He is not a politician, but a well-respected, retired business executive with a wealth of experience and knowledge to bring to government. He worked in the world of leadership, communication, cooperation and decision making. He has the tools to fight gridlock, finger pointing, shutdowns and excuses. St. Paul is a microcosm of Washington, D.C., where greed, money, power, self-interest and special interests rule.

One can trust the incumbent is a nice guy, but he is part of the problem and how does one fix the problem when they are a part of it?

Rick is a not a politician as his bio and resume show: www.rickrosenfield.com. He spent 34 years at Douglas Machine in Alexandria where he attained the position of vice president before retiring as director of Douglas Metal Finishing.

Rick can bring positive change to HD12B and St. Paul. So, all of us in Lake Henry, Freeport, Melrose, Forada, Spring Hill, Belgrade and Brooten, please vote for Rick Rosenfield on November 6, 2012.

Clifford C. Patrick

Alexandria, MN
