Local Politics

[Isaac Bickerstaff]

If you don't believe in "conspiracy theories" you are not nearly involved enough with local politics. Get involved. You will not BELIEVE what you run into.
There. I said it. Now have your way with me.

There’s a new political landscape out there. The partners in this firm helped shape that landscape; so we know it firsthand. For the first time in decades, Minnesota is a key player in national politics. Traditional political bases have shifted. The makeup of the legislature — and the political base supporting it — is different today.

WeberJohnson Public Affairs is uniquely suited to help you meet your public affairs challenges in this changing environment.

Where business and associations desire to be more politically proactive, WeberJohnson is uniquely qualified to help. Waiting until after the elections to determine your strategies can be risky. Business is increasingly active in the electoral process because it pays dividends. WeberJohnson helps at all levels of political action - directing contributions, PAC and foundation administration, independent expenditure activity or simply raising your profile in political circles.
I can't believe they are saying these things out in the open.


By Governor - Tim Pawlenty

“One of his (Greg’s) great gifts is that he reads people and relates to people really well, and he’s got good intuition. He made sure I was getting good information and not getting blindsided … He really was a soul mate.”

—GOVERNOR TIM PAWLENTY

So T. Paw's soulmate is a f---ing lobbyist. . .

"I tell you, we've got a plan and this country desperately needs an energy plan, and I know what I'm talking about," said Pickens, who pointed out that he drives a Honda GX Civic, the only natural gas-powered car made in the United States. "But they don't get it in D.C.; it's too big for them. In Washington, you can't sit down for a 30-minute discussion on energy. Nobody's willing to talk about the fact that foreign oil is costing us $500 billion a year."

That may be one reason why Pickens hopes the citizens of Goodhue County and similar communities will listen to him.

We'll listen when that F---ing windbag has something worth saying. We don't want the failed "energy plan" that that dipstick is spewing.

Help us torpedo Pawlenty's White House dreams on Thursday. We can finally put an end to the shitstorm he created if we can just get the PUC to read the damn laws!
