I thought the most honest thing he ever said was while making the obligatory visits to Senators prior to his confirmation hearing - as one Senator said after Ed's visit - Ed said " Only 10 people in the world understand this stuff (agriculture programs) and 9 of them live in North Dakota." That's our Ed.

I'm proud of Ed Schafer because he hasn't forgotten that one can start with nothing in this country like his grandfather and his own father and that with hard work and an eye on the goal, the sky is the limit in achievement. Honesty, hard work and playing fair doesn't mean you can't think out side the box and be creative enough to start something new. Ed does all that and more. I'm proud to call him my cousin.

We love Ed in North Dakota, and are glad to see him doing so well in D.C. He represents North Dakota well, and his hard work makes us so proud. I recently read another glowing review of Ed at NorthDecoder.com.
