ABM Independent Expenditure Radio Ad: Vern Swedin
Channel: Bluestemprairie
Date: 2012-10-03

HELLO YOUTUBE LEGAL TEAM: You do understand that 1) Vern Swedin ran for Minnesota Senate District 24 in  2012 and thus became a public figure and 2) this post is part of coverage of that race and 3) The radio ad was created by the Alliance for Better Minnesota and 4) Vern Swedin was given multiple opportunities to make a statement defending himself that would have been published here and on my blog..  Thanks!  

NOTE: Vern Swedin is disputing the information in this radio ad and has asked Bluestem Prairie to pull it and the post at www.bluestemprairie.com that discusses it. Bluestem's editor has asked for a public statement from Vern Swedin about his objections, as he now asserts that his emailed objections about the ad and post are confidential.

here's the post:  http://www.bluestemprairie.com/bluestemprairie/2012/10/third-gop-jensen-mailing-abm-radio-ad-dishing-swedins-business-record-raises-rancor-in-sd24.html

The audio of this youtube is a radio ad independently prepared and paid for by the Alliance for a Better Minnesota Action Fund. A resident of the district sent Bluestem Prairie the audio file and we asked ABM  for the text and supporting documentation. Read Bluestem for the post about it.
