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?
Protect your vote! Republicans are poorly represented on election day. Sign up now to be an election judge, poll watcher, or a poll challenger. We will notify you in the late summer or early fall when training will be provided. DON'T LET ANYONE STEAL your vote! Sign up now and make sure every vote counts only once!

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.

Video/Sons of Liberty report present disturbing facts
about Minneapolis public schools
This video by Brandon Ferdig of Minneapolis Expression, looks beyond the yard signs and researches the facts about the Strong Schools Strong City referendum which passed on November 4th. The video includes an interview with Grant Cermak, former candidate for MN House district 58A and member of MN Sons of Liberty, who studied the budgets of the Minneapolis School system for the last several years and discovered the following facts:
Residential and commercial property taxes will be increased 6% per year for 8 years.
Taxpayers currently pay $19,000 per pupil per year.
The number of schools has decreased from 140 to 90 yet overall maintenance costs continue to rise.
There has been a 30% decrease in students over the last 10 years yet funding has always been increased.
