I don't want protectionist feelings in Congress to stand in the way of progress for Minnesota,
I don't want a Democrat in the board room and I don't want a Republican in the bedroom, ... Democrats can't do business ... and all Republicans want to do is get in your bedroom and tell you what you should do in the privacy of your own home.
