The Anoka County Fair is over. THANK YOU to all those SD 48 people who volunteered to work there and to our SD 48 representatives who showed up. Some people worked multiple shifts! Jim Bendtsen, Nancy Bendtsen, Eric Olson, Debra Musgrove, Harry Niska, Jen Niska, Roland Willis, Rep. Tom Hackbarth, Sen. Mike Jungbauer, Ed Fiore, Don Huizinga, Robert Diede, Tom Heideman, Suzanne Erkel, Donna and Chuck Thibodeau, Matt Stevens, Joe Field and Jeremy Mess. Your commitment is greatly appreciated!!

Just want to say that I am proud to be an American, thanks to all of you who have called your representative and made your feelings known. The only thing that politicians will listen to is the people who pull the lever on election day. Most of them are career politicians and don't know what they would do, to make a living, if they were thrown out on their ear. I talked to many people, at the two County Fairs that we attended, who believed that their voice didn't matter. I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that your voice and your letters do make a difference, so please do not stop making noise. If you disagree with the current Health Care Proposal, or the Cap-N-Trade bill, then let Franken and Klobuchar know it. If they are allowed to pass these two bills, our economy and life as we have known it will be completely destroyed, with very little chance to change it back. So if you don't want your children and grandchildren to be broke, with no chance of living the American dream in their lifetime,  then you had better make sure your voice is heard! I do not want to hear any complaining or arguments from anyone who does not become active and work to keep these bills from becoming reality.  God Bless those who would help save this Country!
