Worthington is a town out towards the South Dakota border. Fergus Falls is a town between St. Cloud and Fargo. The Worthington Daily Globe and the Daily Journal of Fergus Falls ran the following piece:
...Michele Bachmann, who represents the 6th District, has said she will not fully complete her family’s census information form because she thinks most of the information it seeks is private. It’s an odd argument coming from someone whose job is to make laws, and it sets a very unfortunate example...
...We wonder whether Bachmann believes all Americans should make their own interpretations of the Constitution and act accordingly. If so, there will be no need for 95 percent of the laws Congress creates. And, of course, we would have chaos.
Bachmann is in a unique position as one of the nation’s most powerful leaders. She has the ability to change the way the Census is conducted. Doing that, rather than flouting the law, would be the responsible thing to do. And, in fact, we wish she would lead a drive to make the Census less intrusive rather than arguing for near-anarchy.
Michele Bachmann is setting a terrible example for her constituents and all Americans. What she ought to do is use the power of her office to change things for the better, rather than leading a rebellion of lawlessness.
This is a sign that media across the state are committing themselves to making things less stupid and dangerous. |
