Minneapolis is a premier American city
handicapped by an ideological leadership. Now there is good news
for the city!
The Minneapolis City Republican
Committee intends to reverse the effects of decades of
liberalism--taxation, government control, weak law enforcement, and
anti-family policies--by electing Republicans to city offices who believe
that common sense conservatism is the answer to the city's problems.

Will the 2009 elections
in Minneapolis be honest? |
|
|
 |
With the obvious
irregularities in the Minnesota U.S. Senate race, we need to be
concerned about the integrity of the upcoming city elections.
Also, in 2009, Minneapolis will be using Instant Runoff Voting
which is a complicated system making it even more important that
the elections are fair and open. So what can we do to
ensure honest elections in Minneapolis?

conversation. Even Santa dropped in to distribute gifts and
holiday cheer! Click here to see

As the city pours millions of our tax dollars into its
mortgage lending business and bike trails, the mayor freezes the police
department budget in order to repair the streets. Below is a list of city
council members (click to email them). Maybe it is time to tell these
liberals, "Enough is enough!" Source: Star Tribune, Friday August 15, 2008, B1.
