 Sen. Norm Coleman stopped in Fergus Falls this morning as part of a statewide tour to kick-off his re-election campaign. Coleman made his formal re-election announcement at a St. Paul rally Wednesday.

Speaking to a crowd of supporters at Barringer’s Coffee House, Coleman said the issues concerning many Americans — rural infrastructure, national security and foreign oil, for example — affect him, too.

“I’m like a lot of folks,” he said. “I had to take a part out of my retirement fund to pay for my child’s college education.”

Coleman touted his efforts to slow an active Supreme Court, protect the Second Amendment and hold the United Nations accountable for its programs in Iraq. He also spoke on biofuels, describing the crucial role ethanol plays in developing other fuel sources.
