Rebecca Otto - Now it’s up to you

"Letter to Editor"

11/04/2006

Dear Paul:

Please forward this to every Minnesotan you know.

Rebecca has traveled this great state tirelessly and without pay for the last 19 months, standing up for restoring a fair and non-partisan approach to the state auditor’s office.

She’s been endorsed by all three of our most recent state auditors of both parties, and by newspapers in Greater Minnesota, who know what’s at stake.

But she won’t win without you.

In a “down ballot” race, the simple fact is that many people don’t vote, or throw a vote to a minor party.  That’s what happened last time, when republican Pat Anderson won by less than 3/4%.  But her policy recommendations drove up property taxes and slashed services around the state.  We’re paying more, and getting less.

Rebecca needs you to forward this to all your friends, whether they’re democrat, republican, independent or green.

Consider:

Rebecca is endorsed by our last 3 state auditors of both parties

The mayors of Minneapolis, St Paul and Duluth endorse Rebecca

Newspapers in Greater Minnesota endorse Rebecca

Rebecca has a bi-partisan track record

Rebecca has a big heart

Rebecca lives her values

Rebecca stands up for freedom and tolerance

Rebecca has found hundreds of millions of dollars in errors

Rebecca has worked to reduce property taxes

Rebecca is honest and has made her service an open book

Rebecca has stood up for our schools and communities in a way that hasn’t been just about the next election, but about the next generation.  Isn’t that what government should be about?

In short, Rebecca will do the job fairly, wholeheartedly, competently, and impartially, and she deserves the support of every Minnesotan.
