Chief at Freedom Dogs sent this today to the MN Sun-Post

I saw on candidate Gregg Prest’s website (gprest.com) that Gregg was recently endorsed by the Twin West Chamber of Commerce PAC for Minnesota House. This is no small order. I’ll go further—this is a very big deal.

For those who don’t know, the Twin West Chamber is an excellent group of fairly diversified business leaders in the northwest suburbs that, in my opinion, has tilted to the a bit to the left in their endorsing over the last few years. They tend to favor incumbent candidates, unless they have a problem with that candidate’s voting record. However, they will support the opposing candidate when they believe that candidate will foster a legislative environment that will help the business community prosper, create jobs, and support the community.

Well, it has happened. Twin West saw Lyndon Carlson’s voting record and has reconsidered who will be the responsible leader in 45B. Rep. Carlson has held his seat for 36 long years. In 2007, he voted along DFL party lines that voted against businesses a shocking 12 out of 12 times (source: Taxpayers League of Minnesota).

The fact is, in this very challenging economic climate, we simply cannot afford to let Lyndon Carlson continue his over-taxing, over-spending ways. Maybe Twin West feels the same as I do…36 years is too long! It is time for a change!
 
Vote for Gregg Prest—a businessman who lives in and works hard in House District 45B.

 
Congratulations, Gregg Prest!

One area Minnesota House incumbent representative earned over $16,000 in per diem expenses last year.

Gregg Prest supporters grabbed a camera and showed how "Rep. Stinka" spent his earnings:

Volunteers came up with a creative character for 45-B candidate Gregg Prest to "oust" his opponent, an incumbent in office for 36 years - and running again this year. Posted at FreedomDogs:

Gregg Prest is seeking a humorous way to let voters know he's running to defeat this "lifer" with a long history of voting to raise taxes. Volunteers came up with an idea for a character and "ran with it"...

Meet "Representative Stinka," who tries to explain away his long tax and spend history.
