I’m Carrie Lucking, the Communications Director for Tarryl Clark’s Campaign for Congress in Minnesota.

I wanted to take a moment and share this with you! The St. Cloud Times, the largest daily newspaper in Minnesota's 6th District, endorsed Tarryl Clark for Congress this weekend. This conservative-leaning paper is widely read in the district, and their endorsement means a great deal. They know what we all know know - Michele Bachmann is serving the special interests, not her constituents. And as the newspaper that knows Tarryl the best, they know that Tarryl will be on OUR side in Congress.

Read it for yourself here or read it below, and if you can, make a contribution to help keep our momentum going!

Our View: Bachmann isn't serving district's best interests

St. Cloud Times Editorial Board
October 17, 2010

Minnesota's 6th Congressional District is diverse. It features rural, agricultural edges; vast stretches of exurban areas; an overload of suburbs; and enough urban pockets to raise eyebrows.

Growth-related challenges abound, and this recession - fomented by the bursting housing bubble - didn't help.

All of that is why the district needs a U.S. House member who puts constituent service first. Sadly, after four years in office, Michele Bachmann has proved with unabashed consistency that serving 6th District constituents is essentially her last priority.

Come Nov. 2, voters should replace her with Tarryl Clark.

1. Love the news here but...

you need to pare down the excerpt from the editorial to comply with DU rules. We don't want to give Righthaven any more grounds.

2. thanks Catshrink. I didn't realize she posted the whole thing

:hi:

3. No problem

I just don't want DU to get in trouble again. Righthaven's actions loom large!

4. Thanks for the encouraging news. Bachmann getting defeated couldn't happen to a

more deserving person.
