Candidate is right for job
This November you and I and voters across the state will decide if we want Minnesota to be a land of opportunity or a land of taxes and entitlements. Not only do I look for a candidate that will support opportunity I want a candidate who supports real principles - Work, Faith, Family, Freedom, and Individual Responsibility. In Senate District 25 only one candidate meets those principles and why he will have my support and vote in November – Al DeKruif.

From the last available scorecards on Project Vote Smart (www.votesmart.org) , current DFL Senator Kevin Dahle received a zero from Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, a zero from the Minnesota Family Council, a zero from the Taxpayers League and 50% from the Minnesota Chamber but received a 100% rating from the AFL-CIO and Sierra Club and from NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota’s position; Senator Dahle received a rating of 75. Senator Dahle has voted for job killing billion dollar tax increases numerous times and surely will support all those DFL candidates for Governor and their tax, tax and more tax proposals. Those ratings and votes speak volumes on who Senator Dahle represents in St. Paul.

At a townhall meeting in Northfield, Senator Dahle indicated that the legislature has cut all that they could cut and at a rotary meeting in New Prague he indicated that the legislature got done on time and balanced the budget. In all fairness, all the legislature did really was kick the can down the road for somebody else to address. General fund spending is projected to increase almost $8 billion or 25.9% in the next biennium http://www.mmb.state.mn.us/doc/budget/report-spend/may10.pdf . With a projected $6-7 billion deficit for the next biennium a little reality check for Senator Dahle is in order.

You and I know that government is too big and getting bigger. It takes too much of our money and its only getting worse. It controls way too many aspects of our lives. The tax and spend, big government mentality of the DFL and Senator Dahle however don’t get it. Join me in sending the right candidate with the right values, principles and ideas to St. Paul to represent us - Al DeKruif. Al will fight and represent the families, taxpayers, and businesses of District 25 not the special interests in St. Paul.

Sen. Kevin Dahle is an amazing Senator with a tough job, and he does it wisely. TPaw has been "kicking the can down the road" for eight years, including this last! Kevin Dahle has voted AGAINST higher taxes multiple times, including the most recent effort at a higher "fourth-tier" tax rate.

Amazing Senator? Tough job?

An almost 100% rating from NARAL and 0% from MCCL. An 100% rating from the Unions a 0 from the Chamber this year and equally dismal rating from NFIB.

What makes him amazing? Looking at his bill introductions he has accomplished almost nothing for this district. Looking at how he votes his tough job is voting with party lines and special interests in St. Paul almost 100% of the time?

He and the DFL voted against almost all reform measures but you claim he is doing a great job..... for whom?
