To: \u00a0Governor Messinger<\/del> Dayton

\nRe: \u00a0A Time For Choosing<\/p>\n

Governor Messinger<\/del> Dayton,<\/p>\n

I have \u00a0a couple of questions for you.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do you support President Obama’s declaration that legal gun ownership by the law-abiding citizen is a dangerous condition that needs monitoring? \u00a0I’ll ask you not to equivocate; yes, or no?<\/li>\n
  2. If you support it, please make sure everyone knows. \u00a0You’ve never been shy about using the media that serves as your praetorian guard, and the lavishly-funded apparatus that your puppeteer<\/del> ex-wife owns, to get the message out before; please don’t stop now.<\/li>\n
  3. If you support the President, could you please prevail upon Minnesota’s DFL legislators to publicly declare their support as well? \u00a0Very, very publicly? \u00a0Maybe in a big press conference on the Capitol steps?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You ran as a “pro-2nd-Amendment” candidate in the 2010 election. \u00a0I’ve always suspected that you did it more out of memory of what happened to Ann Wynia (and the rest of the Democrat majorities) in 1994, or to the DFL’s majority in the House in 2002, than out of any sincere care for civil and human and rights…<\/p>\n

    …but I’m willing, if not expecting, to be surprised.<\/p>\n

    I mean, one way or another, it’s time for a big profile in courage, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

    That is all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
