No point excerpting for this. Minnesota Progressive Project has full detailed coverage. Here and here, the last item linking, appropriately to the Clark contribution page - here - where citizens can help get the word out that Bachmann needs to be dumped and that there are only two weeks left until doing it.
Clark does need that fiscal help very much, to get that message out against the tsunami of mailed junk that the Bachmann camp is flooding into Sixth District mailboxes on a daily basis.
Counter the Bachmann bunk. Contribute to Clark, early and often.
Remember, Bachmann may raise millions from chumps.
However, no credible news outlet would ever endorse the carnival barker.
She has to turn to the likes of Jason Lewis.
Low. Very low. Exceedingly low.
Bachmann has to reach lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut, to get anything but well-earned universal informed disdain.
Aside from how awful Bachmann is; Tarryl Clark is one of the better legislators Minnesota has had, and one of the hardest working there is. She is a sensible, highly intelligent, and hard-working person respected by her peers in the legislature, DFL and GOP. Bachmann needs to be allowed more time with her family, so help, by voting her out of office. The opportunity comes every two years. This is the chance.
___________UPDATE___________
The online HometownSource.com item from ECM Publishers is here. It is incredible. Bachmann stiffed them on granting the editors an endorsement-inquiry interview, and that says it all about her actual opinion for the District, other than as a springboard for greater publicity outlets - something the ECM editors note.
This excerpt from the middle of the endorsement:
As editors from ECM newspapers that serve the Sixth District converged as an editorial endorsement panel to screen candidates in this election, we had hoped that the incumbent would grant an interview to assist the panel in its deliberation. Repeated attempts in late August and throughout September to schedule an interview were not successful. That was disappointing and the panel had no choice but to move on.
We understand that Rep. Bachmann has been part of the House minority, Still, in the four years that she has served in Congress she has authored only one piece of legislation that became law. Still worse, she has not supported important construction projects in St. Cloud and Stillwater — projects of great value in this district.
To her credit, Clark is no rookie to the legislative process and has been willing to work in a bipartisan arena for the betterment of the state. Sen. Clark’s life experiences in teen counseling, parenting, senior citizen advocacy and work with groups like Habitat for Humanity and the Minnesota Community Action Program give her a solid foundation that will help her succeed in Washington.
She demonstrated deep understanding and knowledge of national and international issues. Raised in a conservative Republican family, she has matured to form a philosophical view that draws on her upbringing and world views today.
The editorial panel also found Bob Anderson to be an interesting candidate. After collecting 10 percent of the vote in the Sixth District race in 2008, Anderson is certainly a factor again this year. As a third-party candidate, he believes he offers a choice between Sen. Clark (too far left for the district) and Rep. Bachmann (too much of a rock star).
Bob is a gentleman, just as Clark is a refined and decent person. Both are good people. With a choice between them, quality people, who needs a lesser qualified third option?
