Dear Eden Prairie News and to the person who kindly pointed out all the letters “bashing” U.S. Rep Erik Paulsen:
When Paulsen was elected, there was a Democrat in the White House, a Democratic majority in both U.S. House and Senate.
He was part of a vote for moderate and progressive values.. I think we all thought he was progressive.
Now that we have a Republican in the White House and a Republican majority, those of us who thought he was moderate are just so dismayed to see his voting record in this environment. I really do worry about President Donald Trump’s finances and what he’s hiding, and Erik is on the committee that decides whether anyone sees them. He personally has voted to help Trump maintain his privacy.
Well, friend. He’s the president. He opted out.
At the same time, Paulsen voted for internet service providers to be allowed to sell your information. I personally didn’t opt out, and I bet you didn’t either.
Where is Paulsen’s concern for my privacy? Is it only OK for me to have privacy if I’m the billionaire owner for a corporation?
Emily Christie, Edina
