They have been trashing candidates for Party leadership and anyone who supported them - Take a look at what they did when one of their own kind dared not follow the Ron Paul way during elections. I'm not Marty fan, but I could care less about sucking or not to a group that is so politically stupid that even tried to defeat John Kline during the last election.

It would be nice to see something written in candidate's own hands on describing where they stand on the issues and responding to other's stances. It's great that Marty has a website and Laura has a website but how about a blog debate/discussion between them and the other candidates? Do any of the party websites host anything like that? Why not? So where can we see a tete a tete blog debate on where the candidates stand on the issues?

The issue of state spending is such a priority, as a candidate during the 2008 elections I refused PCR. Our current campaign for 2010 also refused to participate in the PCR program. We enjoyed being on the leading edge of financial restraint in the political arena. The downside of our governor using un-allotment on PCR is we lost a talking point against the liberal Democrat I am running against. Oh well she provides plenty of other issues to challenge.

Miller Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:09:41 +0000 http://www.truthvmachine.com/?p=10905#comment-130758 Thanks for stopping by, Rep. Seifert. You are correct in pointing out that far too many of our caucus has used public financing for campaigns. In my mind at least what separates this instance from others is that the Governor, leveraging unallotment, correctly sent PCR to the dust-bin of history where it belongs. I was unsettled to see your effort to leverage the program in an aggressive way. For too long Republicans have been against government spending -- until it proves to come at a personal cost. For that reason I thought your first instinct and that of your likely opponent was illustrative in light of the budget situation in which many Minnesotans are being asked to sacrifice at great cost. Regardless, please accept my great thanks for stopping by and taking time to explain your position. Warmly, Gary M. Miller Thanks for stopping by, Rep. Seifert.

For the record, I do not agree with what Mike Barret said and told him immediately after he sent his e-mail. He sent is without me knowing and without my permission - he does not speak for me or my campaign. I spoke with Marianne Stebbins, 7th District Chair Craig Bishop and other Ron Paul supporters to let them know this as well. While I appreciate your support for Laura Brod, my friend, I think your energy might be better served attacking Democrats rather than me. We have freedom of speech and I appreciate that, but let's be honest: every single House Republican, including Laura Brod has used the PCR program during their time in office. Not using it for the last 10 days of its existence somehow is an issue? I guess if that is the #1 issue for Republicans, than I will find that out. So far, I have not heard from anyone that it's a big deal, other than you and a couple of Laura's supporters. Let's keep the main thing, the main thing. Winning the Governor's office on real issues. Thank you. Marty Seifert Dear Gary,
