Happy Voting

Today, we as Americans, should be voting! It's your right to vote. It's your responsibility. Not everyone can vote in their country. So today I will be voting. But this year I am struggling with who I should be voting for, for our Governor. I'm not a Republican or Democrat so I don't vote based on party lines. I vote based on who I believe is the right person for the state, while not compromising my beliefs.

Mark Dayton, I do know that I will not be voting for him. There are many reasons why I don't care for Dayton. Biggest thing though is that I don't trust him. I'm not saying I trust all the others more, but there is something about Dayton that can't be trusted.

Tom Emmer, is anti-gay. He may have other things that I do like, this is one thing that I cannot overlook. I have many friends who are gay and I support them 100%. Voting for Emmer would be going against my beliefs and support for my friends. Simple as that.

Tom Horner, I believe he can be the bridge for the state of MN. He has been endorsed by a well known and well liked past Governor of MN, Arne Carlson. We need a change!

And a side note for my hometown, Austin, MN. It is time for a change there too. I can tell you my vote for Mayor would be Marian Clennon (although she is a Dayton supporter...her choice). I wouldn't be voting for her only because she is my friend, but because I believe the city needs someone that is to open to working for the citizens of Austin, not just the ones in the "good 'ol boys club". Go Marian!

Happy Voting!!

***This are entirely my opinion, as I know others may choose differently. That is the beauty of America and why we can vote.  We vote for who WE believe can do the job.***
