Letter - McNamar has been endorsed by Minnesota Farmers Union PAC

As proven by the recent failure of the U.S. House of Representatives to even permit a farm bill to come up for a vote, the inability of our legislative officials to solve our country’s problems is the result of the refusal of the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party to compromise.

To the editor:

As proven by the recent failure of the U.S. House of Representatives to even permit a farm bill to come up for a vote, the inability of our legislative officials to solve our country’s problems is the result of the refusal of the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party to compromise. We have a similar problem on the state level, as proven by the Minnesota government shutdown after the last session.

What can we do now? The answer is simple. We have to elect a U.S. House and a Minnesota Legislature that is willing to put good government ahead of extremist ideology. This means voting for Democrats President Obama, Senator Amy Klobuchar and Representative Collin Peterson. On the state level, vote for John Schultz, Minnesota State Senate, and Jay McNamar for the Minnesota House.

Alexandria bankruptcy lawyer, Scott Dutcher, Jay McNamar’s opponent for the Minnesota House, is a Tea Party member who will put an extreme, right-wing political philosophy ahead of good government.

Jay McNamar has been endorsed by the Minnesota Farmers Union Political Action Committee.
