Well, apparently Sen. Dean Elton Johnson has finally realized who butters his bread. Through the 2006 legislative session, all we heard is he was dealing with the "bread and butter issues" or the "important issues". So, Johnson blocked all of us to vote on the marriage amendment, the passing of the Abortion Regulation Act, and the dedicated funding for conservation and wildlife.
Now, during the campaign season, he is trying to promote himself as the pro-family, pro-life, sportsmen and conservationist candidate. How absurd! Johnson's voting record, his prior statements to the media, and his support from OutFront (Minnesota's largest gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender organization) and NARAL (a pro-choice organization) illustrate his hypocrisy. He isn't a leader we can trust. I put my faith in God and will vote for Joe Gimse.
