Thank you for the commentary by Mike McFeely titled Dont count out ol Collin Peterson just yet in the Sept. 19 paper.<\/p>\n
Many years ago I was able to attend a meeting of the whole U.S. Ag committee at an open hearing in Marshall.<\/p>\n
In attendance were both Democrats and Republicans. Collin Peterson was there as well.<\/p>\n
What was clear was how much respect all the members had for Peterson. The agriculture committee is much less partisan than most of our congressional committees.<\/p>\n
Michelle Fischbach is running against Collin Peterson.<\/p>\n
This individual knows nothing about agriculture yet agriculture is our districts lifeblood.<\/p>\n
Her only real claim to fame is that she is married to Scott Fischbach, who is chairman of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life.<\/p>\n
Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life has more and more in this part of the state turned into an organ of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n
And yes, I know what I am talking about. At one time I was chairman for that organization in Kandiyohi County. Why is it that MCCL always has its fair booth right next to the Republican Party's booth?<\/p>\n
In the past Peterson was a strong supporter of MCCL.<\/p>\n
Michele Fischbach will have a fight on her hands if she wants to take on Peterson successfully.<\/p>\n
