8th District Candidate’s View: Communities and families deserve a voice in the Capitol
August 11, 2012 at 7:00 pm in Duluth News Tribune
We know what’s important. Our families are important. Our communities are important. Our future is important. Washington has lost sight of what’s important. There, it’s Wall Street, Big Oil and billionaires. It’s time to change that.

She has money and a leased condo. She lost to Bachman and brought her sorry act here. I think the info below sums the rest up.
With less than two weeks to go before the 8th District DFL Congressional primary, some outsiders are filling our mailboxes
with lies and distortions about Rick Nolan’s record on women’s issues.
Shame on Tarryl Clark and her outside Washington supporters.
With outside money and distorted, negative attacks, they are attempting to tear down Rick Nolan’s well-earned reputation as
a 30-plus year champion for women’s rights, for Planned Parenthood and for civil rights and human rights for all Americans. This is wrong.
Not being from the district, Tarryl is obviously unaware that this is not the way to do politics in the 8th Congressional District
and in our DFL Party. Tearing down a good friend and Democrat is not the way to advance the cause of women’s health and
women’s reproductive rights here in Minnesota and across our nation. Nor is it the way to beat Chip Cravaack and the
Republicans in Congress.
We are deeply disappointed Tarryl Clark and her allies have become so desperate as to go negative. Rick Nolan has never
strayed from running a positive and uplifting campaign focusing on the core issues that unite us: creating jobs, protecting
Medicare, ending the partisan gridlock in Washington and ensuring equal and fair treatment for all. This is why he won the DFL endorsement and this is why he is the best candidate to beat Chip Cravaack.
.
We must reject these negative campaign tactics. We are confident that 8th District primary voters will respond by resoundingly
confirming that our DFL endorsed candidate, Rick Nolan,
will win on August 14th. He will represent us all in a manner we can be proud of.
Sincerely, Women for Nolan Co-Chairs:
Becky Lourey – former State Senator, Kerrick
Tina Welsh – Founding Director, Women’s Health Center
Cordy Strand – Aitkin County DFL Vice Chair
Cathy Daniels – 8th CD DFL Treasurer, Hibbing
Lynette Swanberg – Senate District 7 DFL Board, Duluth
Tessa Hill – Senate District 32 DFL Director
Twyla Ring – Former State Senator, North Branch

Rick Nolan sucks too! He voted against allowing continued use of snowmobiles and outboard motors in the BWCA in 1978, so he isn’t one of us.

As a person whose family paid enormous taxes to own a cabin bordering the BWCA and that also earlier on owned a different cabin inside of the limits, but were forced out of the BWCA, by the federal government at the beginning of the BWCAs existence, I would like to hear your arguments supporting the major breach of private property rights that occurred in that area. The taxpayers who live on the lake should dictate the rules, not the government!

This was all before 1978 mind you, dissenting person. Before all of you liberal blowhards forcibly took stake in a place that was not yours and still should NOT be today.

The logic behind voting for someone because she is a woman should be put to rest with these words, Sarah Palin.

Voting for a candidate simply because she is a woman, is as ridiculous, and utterly stupid, as putting an anti-American Marxist elitist statist in the Whitehouse merely because of the color of his skin. These are examples of the lowest forms of sexism and racism exercised by, and inflicted upon the American people in modern times.

I am puzzled as to how the 8th district can even consider sending someone with Clark’s background to DC. Her current employer is the Blue-Green Alliance, an environmentalist group dedicated to stopping mining. Mining is what drives the economy here in the 8th. People need to know exactly what covert agenda this carpet bagging activist has.
Follow the links and you’ll see that the Blue Green Alliance does NOT have the best interests of the 8th congressional district at heart. The only way for Clark to get elected here is to suppress or downplay her association with this group.

I wonder where Clark will move after she loses this race.
