Congress did not do anything to approve U.S. troops to be diverted to Monrovia, Liberia, where they are at risk for contracting Ebola, which could spread through our military. Now one U.S. soldier on the ground speaks out.

Neither Franken's nor McFadden's attempts to explain how to revive northern Minnesota's flagging economy were successful. But in my opinion, Al outdid his old SNL routines, and raises questions about whether he is serious and not still spoofing political leaders. Back to the drawing board.

The StarTribune's Lori Sturdevant has long talked about the Independence Party, one of the most interesting features of Minnesota politics, in her politics columnist beat. She called this meeting of the 2014 candidates, in a year of controversy and turmoil, to ask: "Why would anyone want to vote for the Independence Party?" This is what we told her.

Independence Party candidates met for the first time to discuss the Party's upcoming campaign in all state wide offices and federal offices. Steve faults Senator Franken on attacks on free and fair elections, ObamaCare admitted flaws, and failure to amend the National Bank Act, which would create millions of new jobs--and sets out radical centrist views on the economy, drug laws and marriage rights.

Carlson visited Rochester, MN and submitted this recording of the Duluth Senate Debate on ObamaCare. Medical excellence and community organization to fight breast cancer represent two alternatives to ObamaCare.

Expanded version of 2-minute PSA taped tonight at KSTP-TV, one of Minnesota news leaders in the Senate campaign. Question: Paul Wellstone said "Politics is about improving people's lives." It this REALLY what Al Franken and the DFL are doing in Washington and Minnesota?

Part II of the Duluth Debate where Al Franken could not escape debate. This focuses on Al's failure, in six years, to figure out if sulfide mining is even safe. And yet, he's pushing it as his only jobs program. And thinks he's doing a great job!

Al Franken is still ducking debates. And so is Mike McFadden! But they can't escape debate! Steve Carlson nails them and will force open the remaining debates, having filed one FCC complaint so far, including violations of the 1st Amendment.. Free and fair elections!! Guess Harvard guys don't need democracy.

Steve Heads to Duluth Minnesota for big U.S. Senate Debate Today

Part of a Series of Debate Topics called "Debate This!" Independence Party Nominee for U.S. Senator from Minnesota Steve Carlson tells his own story with the failure of ObamaCare and the blessing of a national targeted cancer screening program that touch his own life, and which he has promoted as the alternative to ObamaCare.
