Climate Change

I went to a hearing on Climate Change a couple of years ago and was told that MN would be seeing an increase in thunderstorms and storms with high volumes of water as well as an increase in droughts even as floods were happening in other parts of our state. An increase in the number of hail storms will result in higher auto and home insurance rates.  But did you know that our Congressman, Erik Paulsen had only a 7% pro-environment voting record in 2013? Even Bachmann had a higher score! Ramstad had a 67% pro-environment lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters; Paulsen's lifetime pro-environment score is only 19%. Erik Paulsen is NOT the moderate that Ramstad and Frenzel were. His opponent in the next election is a scientist, Sharon Sund. She has not held elected office but she is smart and she is the right person for that office at this time. Congress can use more people who understand science and the impact of Climate Change.  Do your own research if you don't trust mine and then ... if you care about the future for our children and grandchildren ... vote for Sharon Sund and tell everyone you know to do the same!
