OUR MISSION
Minneapolis is a premier American city handicapped by a centralized,
overreaching government that is stifling the freedom and prosperity of its
citizens. MCRC advocates a philosophy of localized, limited government,
strong wards, and active citizens. We seek to elect candidates to city
office who want to open Minneapolis once again to small businesses,
parent/teacher controlled schools, and to make our city affordable for
families. |

OBEY THE LAW! LET US VOTE! |
On May 25, 2012, the Minneapolis City
Council will vote to spend up to
$890 million of our tax dollars on a Vikings stadium. The city
charter is clear that any amount greater than $10 million spent on a sports
facility in the city needs to go to the voters for approval. Contact the
seven council members who intend to deny us our vote by clicking on the
faces in the image below. This may be our last chance to stop our
disenfranchisement!

Bryn Mawr Safety Committee
By Patrick Murphy
Bryn Mawr Bugle, 5/12
"At the meeting last fall, we talked with other Area 3 residents whose streets are used for buying and selling drugs. These
transactions bring to Bryn Mawr people who are openly contemptuous of our neighborhood.
The police representative with whom we met made it clear that the
precinct is kept busy with serious crimes on the North Side and is not prepared to respond routinely to calls about drug trafficking in Bryn Mawr. So-we're
more or less on our own, at least on this issue." You can be sure there will be plenty of cops (at our expense) to guard Zygi's Crony Stadium though.

STATE OF CORRUPTION: How the Vikings Stadium Deal Went Down And Took Honest & Open Government With It.
By Nick Coleman
The State I'm In blog,5/10/12
"The state's non-profit pubic interest groups, the "progressive" organizations still dizzy with glee at being FOD’s (friends of Dayton), the churches, the advocacy groups
for the poor, the civil liberties and good-government groups — all have stayed silent during a lengthy, furtive, closed-door giveaway of hundreds of millions in scarce public dollars to the NFL and Zygi Stardust. None of them even made a peep when Dayton, who campaigned on a promise to keep
his calendar available to the public, reneged on that promise – at exactly the time he started dancing with Zygi, (sometimes even neglecting other duties)."

The Minnesota Vikings — based in Delaware?
By Heather J. Carlson
PostBulletin.com, Rochester, MN, 5/8/12
"The Red Wing Republican [Sen. John Howe] said he plans to offer an amendment today to the Vikings stadium bill that would require the Vikings organization
to be based in Minnesota in order to get state funding for a stadium. Howe also plans to offer an amendment that would pay for the state's share of the
stadium with a user fee on stadium-related items like tickets, parking and sports memorabilia."
