We did the best we could meeting with whomever we could. But, we did not know everyone that we should contact nor did we have the time to do so. Leslie & I alone made the contacts. We did not have a bunch of people helping us and not a lot of money. The major parties have lots of resources and, quite frankly, are the ones that get covered. It is like pulling teeth to get mainstream media coverage if you are not a major party candidate. If you've ever run for office you probably understand what I am saying. As Lt. Gov. I was to shepherd through the legislation that would enable state-chartered banks to create the money for road and bridge maintenance debt and tax-free in lieu of bonding or taxation. Sorry to have dissappointed you. Gregory K. Soderberg, Candidate Mn. Lt. Gov. 2006 Austin, MN. Dear Sir,

The tools will be continuing to work with schools all across the state to continue the work of civic education so our students are prepared to vote when they turn 18. I want to use the foundation created in the Secretary of State Office web site over the past 8 years and institute an online voter's guide and also take the beginnings of the Election Judge Trainee work and turn it into a full-fledged program. On the business services side of the office, I am proposing an overall reduction of 45% to our business services fees. We must continue to provide ever- improving service to keep current with the needs of our business customers. This will include increasing public access to information and services, as well as continued coordination with county officials. Implementation of the Safe At Home program (address confidentiality program) to allow victims of domestic violence to enjoy greater peace and security in their home and vote without fear.
