We really need a "Doc"...

 

 

 

"Is there a doctor in the house? Because we really need one!"

Is there a doctor in the house? Is there someone who can triage the mess we have in the SOS office? The one created by, and left to us by "Leftie" Mark Richie? Is there someone, anyone, who can put validity back into our voting process? Who can help make it better? Can be a voting advocate for our fighting men and woman? Yes there is - and that person is Dan (Doc) Severson!

For those who do not know "Doc", or don't know his background, let me help. Like me, he is retired Navy. Unlike me, "Doc" spent his time in the Navy on the tip of the spear. In other words, he was a fighter pilot. He flew the A-7 as well as the F/A-18 Hornet. He was stationed all over the world as well as being a member of the elite TOPGUN school. "Doc" is a hometown boy, graduating from Hopkins High School. He went to St. Cloud and earned a degree in Physics prior to going into the Navy. After 22 years in the Navy, he retired and then served four consecutive terms in the Minnesota House.

No, Dan is not a doctor - and he does not play one on TV. "Doc" is his call sign from his Navy days. All Naval Aviators have one. Early in his career, other aviators thought his name sounded quite a bit like Doc Severinson from the Johnny Carson Show. The next thing you know, Dan became "Doc" to his Navy chums. And the name still sticks.

In 2008, John Fund of the Wall Street Journal wrote a book called Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy. In that book, he specifically pointed out the razor thin election of Al Franken. Because our Secretary of State position at that time was held by Mark Ritchie, any voter fraud allegations that were brought up by Minnesota Majority or other citizen watchdog groups, were very lightly considered or dismissed. Not to re-litigate the 2008 Senate election, but the facts speak for themselves. Over 1,000 felons illegally voted, and Franken won by less than 400 votes. A Secretary of State who is an honest broker, and not a George Soros operative, would have righted this grievous wrong. By the way - if we did have an honest election, we would not have Al Franken. And we would not have ObamaCare.

"Doc" wants to ensure our military people are not disenfranchised in any election. They have been in the past. It is a proven fact. "Doc" will ensure that WILL NOT happen in the future. He will ensure our election process is viable and valid. No more shenanigans. He still believes in Voter ID, as do many of us. We have to have photo ID for just about everything else. We should also have it for voting.

Our "wrong way" local newspaper came out today and endorsed Steve Simon for Secretary of State. That was a shocker! I read the article - it said nothing. They don't like "Doc" because he focuses too much on military voting. Plus, he was involved in the Voter ID effort. Mostly, they don't like him because he a Republican and not a Progressive. These are all the reasons we SHOULD support "Doc" for crying out loud! 

After two terms of Mark Ritchie, we need a good house cleaning in the SOS office. Or, we need take the SOS position in for a full physical. And if we do get a physical for the SOS position, I know just the "Doc" who can do it!
