Duluth for Sue Jeffers

Thank you Duluth!

2006-09-13T08:17:00.000-07:00

Thanks for everyone that has helped on this great campaign. We put in many hours of hard work. We did what we could and the people are not ready it looks like.

Thanks for getting out to vote to those that did. Again also a huge thank you again to everyone for helping, it could not have been done with out you.

I don't know what the next step is or if there is a next step. Keep it hear to find out. I let everyone know when I find something out.

Duluth and Minnesota not ready.

2006-09-13T08:10:00.000-07:00

Well it seems like Minnesota wants to continue going in the same direction. The State over all elected Tim Pawlenty in the primary last over Sue Jeffers.

Sue has a great message one more Minnesotaians have to hear. She is the only true candidate for lower taxes, government respocibility.

Her Duluth numbers seemed near on track of what she was getting else were around the state. I wish Duluth and Minnesota would listen more to the words of Sue. She is a great candidate and we as a State did a huge dis-service by not listening.

Voter turn out.

2006-09-12T16:37:00.000-07:00

We have been hearing that voter turn out is low all across the State. We know in Duluth it has been a pretty light day to this point.

We hope that it is the Jeffers people going out to vote. Again if you have not done so please get out to vote.

Also a report from Minneapolis that the turn out is low as well. The same for the Brainerd lakes area. There for the trend seems to be a low turn out.

What does it mean? Your thoughts welcome.

Sue Jeffers needs our help today.

2006-09-12T16:11:00.000-07:00

Here is an email sent out today. Please remember to vote. It is the most important thing for us to do to make sure she continues on.

Dear Friends,

I would like to thank each and every one of you for your prayers, support, and hard work as I campaign to become your next governor. Every day more of you share your hope that fiscal responsibility, strong conservative principles and values and common sense will prevail this election.

Four years later, Minnesota still has a spending problem and I am clearly the only candidate who can and will stop the spending. I have signed a no new tax pledge and I can keep my promise. I will not compromise away our freedoms, liberties and tax dollars. We all know a fee is really a tax, a thirty year $1.1 billion Twins tax comes at the expense of other programs and our congested roads will not be safer or more efficient with a new train. Health care is expensive, more money will not fix our failing schools and illegal immigration and crime continue to spin out of control.

I believe I am going to win the primary today. I believe conservatives across the state will stand up, show up and vote. Together we will say, we deserve better. I know you will not stay home, I know you won't settle for just pretty good, or hey it's better than the other guy.

So here I am, the primary is today. Now I need your help. Get out and vote. Tell your family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Show our politicians we stand for principles and values, we believe in our platform, we deserve better.

I thank you for all your prayers, support, encouragement, and hard work for my campaign. And rest up, November will be here before we know it, we have a couple more candidates to beat between now and then!

Thanks,
Sue Jeffers

2006-08-08T09:30:00.000-07:00

This little piece came for dl online . You can read the whole article by clicking the link,http://www.dl-online.com/articles/index.cfm?id=24482§ion=news&forumcomm_check_return.

If debates or forums are going to be held all candidates should have the chance to be there. As you can see Becky Lourey was left out and there is no mention of Sue Jeffers. This is wrong all candidates should have the chance to at least be there by being asked. If they can't make it at least they had the opportunity to go to it.

The three and the Green Party Ken Pentel answered agriculture-related questions as part of a series of forums presented by FarmFest. The candidates endorsed at the four parties state conventions were invited, leaving out DFL hopeful Becky Lourey who is challenging Hatch in their party Sept. 12 primary election.

Remember to vote in the primary, and vote for Sue Jeffers for Governor.

******update******

Lourey did recieve time at farm fest. Here it is again from DL online.

FarmFest organizers gave the state senator from Kerrick five minutes to address a thin crowd before what she called “the city boys” took the stage. She and her husband ran a farm and she promoted the fact that she is the only farmer running for governor. She also spent 16 years on Senate agriculture committees.
“We haven’t had a governor from rural Minnesota for 16 years,” Lourey said.

Expect things to move.

2006-08-07T23:09:00.000-07:00

We are getting organized and read to move. Duluth needs a strong show of support for Sue Jeffers for Governor.

We will provide that movement.

This will be the spot.

This is the spot to get all the news about Sue Jeffers and what is going on in Duluth with her campaign. We will have all the news of events and fundraiser's that are held up here and any other events that happen.

We hope to have Sue up to Duluth many times. People need to hear her ideas.

Welcome

2006-08-07T16:10:00.000-07:00

Welcome to our site. We are dedicated to getting Sue Jeffers in as Governor of our great State.

If you believe it is time for a change, then give Sue a chance. She is a straight talker. She is not going to give you the political answer that you would get from Governor Pawlenty or Mike Hatch. You get a straight answer that is refreshing and real.
