Letter: Show Peterson out
In the Seventh Congressional District we expect that our Congressman is going to be above the normal political tomfoolery. Unfortunately, our current Congressman, Collin Peterson, has fallen short in his last term. He has resorted to smoke-and-mirrors politics to ensure that he is re-elected, and the honest good ol’ boy that he portrays is simply part of the act to fool the voters one more time.

Letter: Re-elect Peterson
Collin Peterson is the clear choice for voters this November. Collin Peterson has been in office for many years. There are many reasons why you shouldn’t give Peterson a pink slip this November. Collin Peterson has been an advocate for small farmers and small-business owners for all the years he has been in the House of Representatives.

Letter: Give Peterson a pink slip
Every 80 years, America faces a crisis. These crises can be economic, military, societal or a combination of the three. Although the pattern can be traced back to the beginning of time itself, let us start with the American Revolution.

Letter: Endorsement was propaganda
After reading the West Central Tribune’s editorial endorsement of Congressman Collin Peterson, I was nothing short of appalled.

Letter: Peterson is no friend to farmers
The West Central Tribune recently endorsed Collin Peterson for U.S. Congress in the 7th District. This is no surprise, the Tribune tends to lean to the left.

Letter: The answer to our problems
It is time to take a check on the direction politics is taking in our area. In 2010 some 15 money bills came before our House of Representatives. The District 20A representative, Andrew Falk, voted taxpayer-friendly 7 percent of the time, according to the 2010 legislative scorecard of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota. He did not have the courtesy to respond to a Minnesota Citizens Concerned For Life survey and gave no response on nine queries. What does that say about his social values?

Editorial: Peterson is the best choice for 7th District
Collin Peterson has been re-elected by the voters of the 7th District every two years since he was first elected to Congress in 1990. It should happen again in 2010.

Letter: Byberg is the right man
I have had the pleasure of working closely with Lee Byberg for the past five years. While I selfishly may wish that he remain in our organization, we need to send him to Congress.

Letter: Peterson is liberal pawn
On Nov. 2 we will determine the direction of our nation. Minnesota Congressional District 7 must take the lead by defeating a Nancy Pelosi pawn.

Letter: Peterson’s duplicity
The local Chippewa County Area Visitors Guide contains a paid advertisement by Collin Peterson for himself. He states, “As your representative I’ve tried to maintain my independence in Congress. Sometimes that has meant opposing my own party leaders.” He obviously has not tried hard enough. Dick Morris, in his book “Catastrophe,” has documented Peterson voting with his party leaders 91 percent of the time. Peterson calls himself a Blue Dog, but he is actually a lap dog for Nancy Pelosi and the Obama regime. One is reminded of the Roman god Janus with two opposite faces — one for his ultraliberal Washington colleagues and another for all us rubes out here in flyover country. Judge him by the political company he keeps and consequently the way he votes.
