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.

Kari Reed for School Board! |
|
|
 |
Kari Reed
is the endorsed Republican candidate for the
Minneapolis school board. Please
visit her website
to donate and volunteer to help this articulate conservative woman
bring a much needed breath of fresh air to the mire of
failure that is our present educational system. |
|
In her own words... |
|
I am
seeking your vote on behalf of the many children in our
neighborhood who can barely read. |
|
I support
a ‘NO’ vote on the levy referendum. More money will not fix a
failed system with a substandard curriculum and bloated
bureaucracy. Despite some of the highest per pupil spending in the
state, Minneapolis has some of the poorest results. |
|
I promote
neighborhood schools and decentralizing the curriculum to give
parents quality choices for their children’s education. |
|
I have a
deep desire to see all children taught the basics and all children
taught how to learn and I will accept no more excuses for why the
children can’t learn. |
|
I will
look to other big cities for creative ideas to fix failing big
city school systems. |
|
I will
not accept union money or endorsements — I will keep my
independence when negotiating contracts on your behalf. |

Where Does Your House Representative
Stand? |

Click here to view "one of the
most comprehensive legislative scorecards available that assesses how
well incumbents have represented "traditional values" positions on the
issues in the state legislature." The Minnesota Majority group
"tracked over 40 votes during the 2007-2008 legislative sessions,
spanning a wide range of issues including taxes, government spending,
parental rights, property rights, health care, education and energy
policy. In many ways, these votes represent the front-line in the
battle to defend traditional values in Minnesota’s public policy."

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!" Public hearings
start Sept. 10th. Source: Star Tribune, Friday August 15, 2008, B1.
