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! |

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.
3/21/13
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.
Rybak offers bold vision of downtown in 2020
Star Tribune, 2/13/13
By Eric Roper
"The mayor noted that retail will also play an important role in making
the downtown of 2020 an attractive place. Better 'retail management' is
needed, he said, because 'we have not figured out how to do retail
right.'" Clueless and incompetent central planners have plagued Mpls for
decades--similar wizards of smart tore up the same street car tracks in
the 1950's that are now so essential. Time to clean house and bring in men
and women with real world experience and fresh ideas before they spend us
into a Detroit.

Debt is
really just a matter of sharing
Tweet, 1/27/13
Councilwoman Betsy Hodges tweeted that massive govt. debt is really just a
matter of sharing. While that ludicrous remark is grounds for questioning
her intelligence, it is more likely that she has simply been too long in a
system where govt. greed is called justice and the lust for power is
community service. Our economy SHRUNK 0.1 percent in the 4th quarter of
2012, the federal debt at the moment is over $16 trillion, and every
citizen in the country owes $52,309 and they're still spending. It's time
to replace stale politicians like Betsy with men and women with real world
experience and fresh ideas. The status quo is unsustainable.

5,000 alerted of records breach in abuse of drivers' data by DNR employee
Star Tribune, 1/16/13
If this is how they treat our drivers license data, how safe will we be when the ruling class has access to our complete medical history, has pinpointed and
registered every gun, and Google has turned over a database of every website we've visited and every search we've made? Imagine your life controlled by Al Franken.

Pushing forward in the fight against gun violence
Posted on January 14, 2013 by R.T. Rybak
Rybak and the Democrats' faux angst over gun violence is just a gossamer
veil over their political agenda. If their concern was genuine, they'd
examine our culture of violence where infants are chopped into pieces and
sucked from their mother's womb; where movies, music, and games glorify
wasting anyone who gets in your way and are marketed to children; and
where schools teach bullying and intolerance is fine if the victim is
someone who disagrees with the agenda of the left. Violent reactions that
have become second nature in our society is the real problem and until we
face that, it will never be stopped.
Response to Mayor Rybak's
Announcement Not To Seek Re-election--12/27/12
"And the residents of Minneapolis have been every step of the way as
partners."
Mr. Mayor, we are NOT your partners as you
wrote in your 12/27/12 e-farewell address, we are your employer. Over your
12 year tenure, you have taken our money in taxes, fees, and regulations
to the point where we can barely afford to live in our city; you have
forced your liberal utopian dreams on us against our will (remember
denying the stadium vote required by city charter?) to the benefit of
millions of dollars for your friends and special interest supporters; and
you've condemned the north side of our city to generational poverty,
failing schools, and loss of opportunity.
As a rising star in the political class, you will no
doubt do well in the future. Our only hope is to reverse your charted
course and begin
to reestablish and grow the once prosperous middle class in Minneapolis
before our beautiful city turns into a Detroit or LA or Chicago.
Defendant: Snooping was rife at Minneapolis City Hall
By Eric Roper
Star Tribune, 12/21/12
What's going on here is more than just a city employee being disciplined.
Tom Deegan was head of housing inspections and a 37-year employee of the
inspections and regulations dept. that Rybak is rolling into the CPED as
he consolidates power into one huge, difficult to hold accountable city
department. Deegan is in the way and needs to go. Maybe this power play
within the government class will bring to light how the game at city hall
is really played. When thieves fall out...

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."
