Tuesday is special election time in Senate District 66.\u00a0 If the name “Ellen Anderson” rings a bell as your Senator, and you would like to see some productive change to the way our state runs, you need to turn up at the polls on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
If you live in the light-gray area on this map…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
…or know of a conservative, or potential conservative, who does?\u00a0 You need to get yourself, or those people, to the polls on Tuesday to vote for Greg Copeland<\/a>.<\/p>\n (If you thought Anderson was just hunky dory – well, don’t worry.\u00a0\u00a0 It is your DFL leadership’s position that they “own Saint Paul”.\u00a0 Their candidate, Mary Jo McGuire, has had the measurements for the office drapes handed down to her as a matter of party policy.\u00a0 Showing up at the polls would not only be a waste of time – it’d be a confession that you lack faith in the DFL.\u00a0 Just stay home).<\/p>\n Anyway – the special election is Tuesday.<\/p>\n Now, if you’re a conservative and\/or Republican in Saint Paul, you’re used to feeling crushing discouragement as we put up good candidates – sometimes, as in the last CD4 US House race, great <\/em>candidates – and lose to mindless hamsters like Betty McCollum by absurd margins.<\/p>\n It’s a fact.\u00a0 I’ve been there.\u00a0 And I’ve felt it.\u00a0 The Fourth CD Republican Party has been in the wilderness for close to sixty years; there is not currently an elected GOP candidate anywhere in Ramsey County, and relatively few in the Fourth CD.<\/p>\n But we can change that next week.\u00a0 There are <\/em>Republicans out there.\u00a0 More importantly, there are conservatives out there – some don’t know it yet, and some have given up on going to the polls after decades living under Saint Paul’s idiot machine.<\/p>\n And if we can reach them, we can shock the world.\u00a0 Or the city, anyway.<\/p>\n So the Greg Copeland for Senate campaign needs volunteers<\/a> for door-knocking and, especially, phone-banking.\u00a0 The campaign has had unbelievable <\/em>turnout so far – but we need more than unbelievable to win this race.\u00a0 We need miraculous.<\/p>\n And as We The People found out last fall, we can do miracles.<\/p>\n And naturally, fighting the DFL machine costs money; if you can spare a few bucks<\/a>, the campaign appreciates every nickel; if Greg wins, you’ll make it back in tax savings…<\/p>\n
