 <title>Ms. Veurink, I understand</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Ms. Veurink, I understand you&#039;re partisan.  And I understand you&#039;re trying to paint your party in the most favorable light.  But do try to remember that Erik Paulsen&#039;s most notable &quot;achievement&quot; while in the legislature was, while serving as Majority Party Leader, leading the state to a shutdown because he - and the Governor - refused to work in a bi-partisan manner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While local school districts were waiting for the legislature to finish work, so they would know what their budget was, Paulsen &quot;worked&quot; to shut the state down.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And now you&#039;re touting Jenifer Loon?  Her &quot;record&quot; includes working with Newt Gingrich and on the &quot;Contract On America&quot;, which has increased the partisan rhetoric to the intollerable level it is at, today.  Newt Gingrich was the author of the seminal treatise on name-calling, &quot;Language:  A Key Mechanism Of Control&quot;.  His &quot;Contract On America&quot; directly led to the Abramoff scandal, the K-Street lobbying scandal, etc etc etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most recently, according to an intro speech for Ms. Loon at the recent SD-42B Convention, she was deeply involved with George W. Bush&#039;s re-election.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, Ms. Veurink, to be clear - you are touting the election of someone that is an entrenched adherent to the architecht for today&#039;s bitter partisanship,  and the worst president in American History.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until George W. Bush came along, I did not think I&#039;d ever miss Richard Milhous Nixon.  And until Cheney came along, I thought Sprio T Agnew&#039;s place as the worst Vice-President was secure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you like George W. Bush, vote for Jenifer Loon.  If you want more of the same, and want to &quot;Stay The Course!&quot;, volunteer for Jenifer Loon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want change, vote for Jerry Pitzrick.&lt;/p&gt;
