Steve Carlson, winner of the statewide primary for the Minnesota Independence Party for 2014, faces an effort to exclude his campaign (but to promote instead DFL'er and television personality Al Franken and rich businessman Mike McFadden) from a debate covered by the 1st Amendment requirements not to stifle political expression during the heat of an election, and by requirements for equal time under federal licensing provisions of broadcasters benefiting from public broadcasting facilities

Steve Carlson is the Independence Nominee for U.S. Senator, facing Al Franken November 4. After the Minnesota Vikings announced Adrian Peterson would play, these two DFL'ers who want to be re-elected attacked the Viking decision, forcing the Vikings to "get it right" and suspend Peterson indefinitely with pay. Carlson explains that Franken and Dayton "got it wrong" not the Vikings. Carlson carefully distinguishes between a parent doing what is right and violence against persons.

This increasingly important race for the national leadership of the Senate is shaping up to be anyone's guess, as Franken fails to reach 50% and Steve Carlson, Nominee of IP, dishes out the issues facing America today.
