I would like to know who Congressman Peter Stauber is representing in the U.S. House.
It does not seem to be me or any of my neighbors. His votes prove that without question. Stauber voted to force all states to adopt federal voting rules that could steal voting rights from many in his 8th Congressional District.
Any married woman in the district who is registered in her married name would have to present a notarized copy of her birth certificate and her marriage license in order to update her registration. All voters would have to present their birth certificate or passport to register to vote or to update their registration. Such rules are unnecessary.
Minnesota can manage its own ballots. ADVERTISEMENT On another issue, Stauber supported $1.5 trillion in cuts to basic services, things like education, Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, the IRS, the Food and Drug Administration, the U.
S. Postal Service, the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, veterans services, child care, the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Park Service, all of which could suffer 10% to 20% reductions in staff. Billions in medical research grants would be slashed and agencies already stressed would be crushed. The same proposal Stauber supported promises $4.
5 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires and multinational corporations; our deficit would grow ever larger. Stauber doesn’t represent the people of his district but is acting as a toady to the administration. Patrick Stevens Moose Lake Email submissions to: letters@duluthnews.
