However, I have concerns with your candidacy-- do you have a college education? I didn't see you mention it--if so where did you go and what did you major in? Also, Profit Over People is a book by Noam Chomsky, is your campaign title a play on that? Additionally, where do you stand on gay marriage? Lastly, you mention morals, what moral philosopher has shaped your thinking? Are you more of a social contract person e.g. Rawls/ Lock/ Rousseau or an act or rule utilitarian or Kantian deontologist? Further, do you primarily care about race issues over poor issues. It seems to me that institutional racism is not solely about race, rather it is about exploiting the poor through external coercion and paternalism. The majority of the poor happens (intentionally or not) to be a minority. However, I think it is about exploiting the poor whites face poor education, higher criminal charges, police brutality etc. Anyways I think you need to be more cognizant of who is being subjugated in society, it is all races and you seem to be focused on your race--this is implied via your anecdotal stories you pull from. Nevertheless, you are the candidate that the DFL needs- you could with the right management team become the next Paul Wellstone, a politician who truly fought for those who face injustice. Peace, Love and Success is what I wish you Good Sir Hello,
