On Saturday, June 15th, conservative
activists from all over the state packed the St. John's Lutheran Church
hall to hear two experts from the
Leadership Institute
give practical advice on how to win elections--even here in Minnesota!
The delicious lunch, snacks, and beverages were from the famous
Sentyrz Supermarket, which has been a landmark in NE Mpls since 1923.
MCRC is very grateful to Chris and Holly for imparting
their wisdom gained over years of experience in the business of politics.
Everyone who attended is well prepared for this fall's elections in the
city and for the crucial year of 2014!
After the Campaign Bootcamp and the rain
ended, attendees strolled down the block to SD60's picnic fundraiser
for burgers, brats, and all the sides. Mayoral candidate
Cam Winton
showed up, babe in arms, and gave everyone a campaign update. It turned into a beautiful
evening and the talk went way into the night!

MCRC DOES MAY DAY FOR THE 5TH YEAR IN A ROW! |
|
Once again MCRC hosted a table at the May
Day Festival in Powderhorn Park on May 5, 2013. The day started out
chilly, but quickly warmed up in the May sunshine. There was lots of
activity at our booth as we discussed conservatism with Festival goers,
gave away flowers, and just generally enjoyed interacting with the
crowds! |

Winton slams streetcars during "moving press conference"
By Eric Roper
Star Tribune, 5/30/13
"To build a streetcar line would be an epic mistake," Winton said. "Minneapolis can achieve its transit goals and meet its transit needs with an enhanced bus system.
And the facts show that an enhanced bus system is the only way to meet the transit needs of Minneapolis in a responsible way."
Cam Winton Questions Downtown East Development Plans
Cam Winton for Mayor, 5/29/13
Finally a candidate who's willing to question the business as usual, crony
capitalism at city hall! Cam Winton has looked into the mixed-use
development plans for Downtown East and has several great questions of the
powers-that-be who run the city. It's possible with Cam that we will at
last have a mayor who represents us and not just special interests.

Flashback: Schumer, Franken urged IRS to target tea party in 2012
By Jeff Poor
Daily Caller, 5/17/13
When Democrats are in control of government you get the abuse of power we're seeing at the federal level to restrict the Constitutional rights of free
speech, association, and participation in the political process by conservative groups. This is why they want big government and political power. Obama's
darling, the unfunny and pornographic comedy writer Al Franken, who was elected to represent
not rule Minnesotans, is at the center of this illegal and
unconstitutional intimidation. He's got to go.

Toxic Government by Democrats: Minneapolis
By John Perazzo
Frontpage Mag, 4/4/13
"The city of Minneapolis, Minnesota--whose population is composed of 63.8%
whites, 10.5% Hispanics, and 18.6% African Americans--has been governed
exclusively by mayors from the Democratic Farmer Labor Party, the state
affiliate of the Democratic Party, since 1978. As of 2011, the poverty
rate in Minneapolis was 23.5%, more than one-and-a-half times the national
figure of 15%....Prior to the permanent Democratic takeover of Minneapolis
in 1978, the city's poverty rate had been consistently lower than the
national average." Cause and effect.

Dayton's new taxes on the middle class:
- Energy rate tax
- Mortgage and deed tax
- Alcohol tax (up 350 percent)
- Auto insurance tax
- Solar tax
- Gas tax (up 10 cents per gallon)
- Estate tax
- Snack tax (nuts, seeds, popcorn,
pretzels, chips, cookies, ice cream novelties)
- Vehicle excise tax
- Electricity surcharge tax
- Frac sand tax
- Health insurance premium tax (3.5
percent)
- License plate tab fees (up $10)
- Cosmetics tax
- Wheelage tax (up $15)
- Toll fee for the St. Croix River bridge
Plus, there are plans to grow government,
spend billions more, and ultimately secure Democratic political control
through the unionization of:
- Childcare providers who are independent,
small business owners
- Personal care attendants
- Legislative staff
This isn't insanity. This is the far left,
Democrat agenda from Obama to Dayton to Rybak. It's about power and
control. It's time to stop it. (HT Rep. Ernie Leidiger
(R-47A))
MN Democrats' Health Insurance Exchange: Good Enough for Minnesotans, but not Good Enough for State Lawmakers
MNGOP News, 3/15/13
Once again the ruling class exempts themselves from a government program they want to impose on the rest of us: "This bill is bad for Minnesotans. Health
insurance costs will go up, choices will be limited and there's no guarantee our private health care information will remain private."
Swell.

Audit finds common misuse of Minnesota driver data
By Eric Roper
Star Tribune, 2/21/13
And the city council and mayor tell us to trust them as they spend $2.8 million to build a database of all the information they collect
any every city resident that will be accessible to every city employee. Don't fall for the lie that they limit access and no one EVER
gives their password to anyone else. It's already happened in the driver's license data scandal where Mpls employees account for a
disproportionate number of offenders. The only way we can trust them is to LIMIT THEIR POWER. This database should not be built.
$2.8 million tax dollars are better spent on crumbling infrastructure than using our own money to limit our freedom.

Powerful new tool in Minneapolis creates virtual city
By Eric Roper
Star Tribune, 2/20/13
What's city government done for us? Prosperity-crippling taxes and fees,
crony capitalism, stifling regulations, plans to confiscate firearms of
law-abiding citizens, and now they are compiling data on us so they can
prevent undesirable behavior before it happens. Detect a pattern here? We
hired these people to maintain our streets, pick up the garbage, and put
in a sewer and water system. They're out of control. They all need to be
replaced.

St. Croix bridge tolls, higher gas tax may be ahead
By Pat Doyle
Star Tribune, 2/17/13
"'It's a potentially important source of revenue,' said Rep. Frank
Hornstein, DFL-Minneapolis...Raising the gasoline tax...is another option
favored by key lawmakers, including Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL-Minneapolis...Dibble
was on a governor's task force that recommended raising the gas tax by 40
cents a gallon." Their beady eyes bright with greed and with nothing to
stop them, these two Mpls. politicians are why we can no longer afford
their brand of govt. It's time to replace these ruling elites with men and
women who understand that the money we earn is, first and foremost, ours
and not theirs.

2/15/13 - The Hennepin County
Sheriff's Office is releasing statistics that provide an estimate of the
county's violent crime in 2012. The statistics show that violent
crime has decreased countywide by 37% from 2006 to 2012. Shall
issue permit to carry was implemented in 2005. It's no coincidence. When
law-abiding citizens are armed, criminals have a bad day. Fact.

Newly Elected Majority Seeks to Further Erode Minnesota's Election System
"Early voting as recently proposed by Secretary of State Mark Ritchie
and others would gut that crucial bi-partisan citizen oversight. It is not
possible to deploy volunteer partisan poll challengers across the state to
observe early voting for weeks on end. It’s not possible to maintain party
balance with citizen election judges with early voting. Early voting sounds
like a convenience, but its effect is to take the election process away from
the People."
