About Ernie Leidiger 34A



	Elect Ernie Leidiger, Experienced! Hello Carver and Scott Counties. I ask for your support. Challenges confront our country and our state: An Activist Judiciary. Battles over border security. Out-of-control spending. Massive tax increases. Socialized medicine. Terrorism. Shrinking Private and Growing Public Sectors. The list goes on and on...During times of trouble, you want an experienced person to represent you. Ernie does not want the status quo, it's time for a peaceful revolution and he expects to help lead it.
	Many of you know Ernie from Brothers Office Furniture ads on the radio. The company employs 20 full time people, and up to 10 part time. Ernie knows what it's like to make payroll and how to keep a concern running ... these days what works is running lean, being nimble, and stay true to your business. Government needs to do the same thing, run lean, stay out of the business you're not suppose to be in, and get out of the way of the private sector. Stop government encroachment into the lives of its citizens! If it would stop its spending and reduce the taxes, business will flourish, jobs will become plentiful, and prosperity will once again ensue.
	Ernie has been active in conservative republican politics for a long time, supporting candidates like Duncan Hunter for congress and then later for President (in the picture it's Duncan, Ernie, and Chuck Yeager). Government governs best when it listens to the people and pursues a policy of "for the people by the people" instead of "for the government by the government".
	Ernie has stumped for John Kline and has worked in the trenches to elect conservative candidates. He's walked the parades and contributed in other ways. Like John Kline, Ernie is a veteran. He took an oath to "support and defend the constitution of the United States from enemies foreign and domestic..." it means something. Today we have problems in the country which cannot be interpreted any other way but enemy action against our freedom that is clearly protected by the constitution. Ernie is ready now to ensure our freedom from overreaching governments (federal and state).
	As an early supported of Tom Emmer, Ernie has worked to help elect the very best choice for governor. A true conservative and leader. He will help see that Tom gets elected. Ernie committed early for Tom. He spoke with all the candidates, researched their records, and made his choice early on so he could lend his support to Tom. The easier choice would be to wait to see who the leader would be and jump on the band wagon late in the parade. Ernie will be straight forward and honest, and he will listen to the people, but he is ready to vote with his principles at any time to make the best choice for the people he will represent.
	Go to www.operationhomefront.net. This is the charity co-founded by Ernie Leidiger, Meredith Leyva of CINChouse.com, and Roger Hedgcock, radio personality. Ernie was the Executive Director and President of the organization for five years. During that time the charity grew to 26 chapters and over 5,000 volunteers, and handling over 10,000 cases a year . It's one of the best new charities for families of deployed service members in modern times. Today there are over 30 chapters, and it has a Charity Navigator rating of four stars- one of the best charity ratings measuring performance of dollars going directly to programs supporting clients....92% of the money it receives goes to clients, 8% for overhead....about the opposite of government!
	Ernie's family is his life. His princess Kate runs marathons. Here she is running Grandmas in Duluth. As an EMT in San Diego she scored a few pictures with the President and Arnold (not shown) and Rep Brian Bilray in the background. This was during the fires in California a few years ago.
	My son John on the left, and Luke on the right. Both athletes and great kids. Active in Boy Scouts, where Ernie has been a Cub Scout den leader, troop sponsor, and camper.
