Greetings everyone, I'm Brian Falldin, New Media Director with the Entenza campaign. If there's one thing I learned, and learned well, from working on the Obama campaign in 2008, it was that the Internet is transforming the way we generate participation in the political process.

We are now interconnected with each other more than ever, and finding new and innovative ways to work together politically and civically will only help our democracy and increase the efficiency of our government. It's why I'm very honored to be working with Matt Entenza on his campaign to be Minnesota's next governor.

You see, Matt gets it.

His vision for Minnesota reimagines the way our government and our state will work in the 21^st century.

As I'm sure many of you know, he talks a lot about the clean energy economy, American-made clean energy, and the secure high-wage jobs it'll bring, but he also firmly supports using the Internet and related technologies to improve our state as a whole.

He understands that while yes the Internet brings Facebook and Twitter to the living rooms of everyday Minnesotans, it also is a way to create new opportunities for businesses and organizations throughout Minnesota. The way Matt sees it, we need to increase and improve broadband access to rural Minnesota and beyond.

Matt likes to say: "The Internet is the new main street." And I couldn't agree more.

If you haven't checked us out yet on Facebook or Twitter. Please do!

And if you really want to show off your support for Matt, we put up some brand new (and did I mention FREE) icons for people to use on their Facebook and Twitter profiles.

Until next week...
