Quote of the Day: Ted Lillie Wants Your Tax Dollars For A Republican Sex Scandal
A letter to the editor in the Woodbury Bulletin about Republican Senator, Ted Lillie, provides this succinct little message about what a Minnesota Senate controlled by Republicans really accomplished in the last two legislative sessions and what they REALLY want moving forward… So if “Travelin’ Ted” Lillie tells you he is “defending” Woodbury taxpayers, don’t believe him for one minute. Lillie still very definitely wants your tax dollars – but not to pay for public safety or education. Lillie wants your tax dollars to pay for a Republican Senate sex scandal. OK, maybe that’s not all they want but it’s still a good reminder that a Republican Minnesota Senate majority didn’t just screw each other. They intend to screw you too!

The Draz Calls Health Benefits DIVISIVE SOCIAL ISSUE
Steve Drazkowski (R) is not at all pleased about state union negotiations. Anyone familiar with “The Draz” will find this less than shocking given the track record of the Republican from Mazeppa for supporting every piece of anti-union legislation he can find in the ALEC database. This time, however, he is displeased for a whole other reason and that is because the state is, according to “The Draz“, “incorporating social issues” into the negotiations process. What outrageous social issues has “The Draz” fired up? “I find it very troubling that our governor is initiating actions to incorporate social issues, very divisive social issues, into these contract proposals and that’s what we’re trying to get to the bottom of here,” Drazkowski said. Has he changed his … Continue reading

BREAKING: MN SOS Places Anti-Voter ID Propanganda Where Literally NO ONE Will Find It!
In a shocking development, The Minnesota Republican Party found evidence to suggest that Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie is using his office and its website to provide voting and election data to the people of Minnesota. How dare he provide raw data with little or no context, claimed Republican Party Chair, Pat Shortridge! More surprising, said sources close to the Secretary of State who spoke on the condition that I leave them the hell alone and let them do some actual work, is that someone finally visited the website of MN Secretary of State and clicked on the link for Voting & Elections. More on this breaking story as it develops…

I Have A Question About Voter ID. Seriously, I’m Wondering…
In the debate over the use of voter photo identification in our elections I find myself swayed by compelling arguments on both sides. On the one hand, I think Minnesota has one of the best election systems in the entire country and I don’t buy the argument that there is some sort of widespread fraud taking place. Evidenced by the 2008 US Senate election and the 2010 Gubernatorial election where our system was scrutinized and recounted and essentially gone through with a fine tooth comb. Perhaps not the best argument against using photo identification but if two consecutive scrutinized elections don’t turn up anything close to widespread voter impersonation fraud, I count that as a clean and fair election system. On the other hand, if … Continue reading

Public Speaks Out Against Anti-Union Amendment
Various members of the public were given an opportunity to speak out against the Minnesota Republican Party attempt to put a union busting amendment on the ballot this November. Among other reasons to oppose the amendment, the measure would allow people to become free riders by not paying fair share dues but still getting all of the negotiated benefits of the union.
