Don't blame North Dakota for these three communists. They are financed by out of state interests. About 90% of their campaign funds come from North Dakota. They are elected by the socialists from Fargo, Grand Forks and Bismark. If every one in the rest of the state voted against them but they carry those three towns, they win. Help us stamp out their brand of socialism; stop the flow of funds to the DNC.
