Representative Mark Uglem<\/strong> (R): 651-296-5513
\nE-mail: rep.mark.uglem@house.mn<\/p>\nThe next faction is the Metrocrats. \u00a0They’re mostly hopeless; they’re in office because Alida Messinger and her liberal plutocrat friends paid good money, and lots of it, for a bleeding-heart knee-jerk liberal government with all the baggage it brings. \u00a0Victim Disarmament, to these people, is not negotiable.<\/p>\n
If you’re a constituent, of course, a phone call wouldn’t hurt; they need to know that their opposition is everywhere. \u00a0And a quick reminder of what bills like theirs did to the DFL in 1994 and 2002 might not hurt, either.<\/p>\n

\nE-mail: rep.dan.schoen@house.mn<\/p>\nSo when you break the committee down, it’s actually 8 Real Americans to 7 Orcs.<\/p>\n
But here’s the important part:<\/p>\n
Representative Paul Rosenthal<\/strong> (DFL) \u2013 Vice Chairman: 651-296-7803
\nE-mail: rep.paul.rosenthal@house.mn<\/p>\nRepresentative Shannon Savick<\/strong> (DFL): 651-296-8216
\nE-mail: rep.shannon.savick@house.mn<\/p>\nRepresentative John Ward<\/strong> (DFL): 651-296-4333
\nE-mail: rep.john.ward@house.mn<\/p>\nUPDATE: \u00a0As Colonel Flagg noted in the comments, let’s add:<\/p>\n
Representative Erik Simonson<\/strong>\u00a0(DFL): 651-296-4246
\nE-mail: rep.erik.simonson@house.mn<\/p>\n\u00a0He represents Duluth – Kerry Gauthier’s old district – and his constituents include not a few union Democrats who are just as solidly Real American on this issue as anyone else.<\/div>\n
That’s two DFLers – Savick and Ward – from outstate districts that are chock full of Real Americans, both independent and DFL as well as GOP, who take the Second Amendment seriously, the very type of DFLers that were mowed down in droves in 2002 unless they broke with the Metrocrats<\/em>.<\/p>\nAnd Rosenthal, who won on a one-time surge of DFL voters in a very purple district, who can’t afford to take Real American votes for granted in the much-more-normal year coming up in 2014.<\/p>\n
And a polite, reasoned phone call reminding them that there are a lot of us out there in both<\/em> parties who take our Second Amendment civil rights seriously, as well as those history lessons from 1994 and 2002, might just go a long way toward euthanizing Paymar’s authoritarian dabbling in its crib where it belongs.<\/p>\nAny questions?<\/p>\n

They’re baaaaaaack: House Public Safety Committee Chairman Michael Paymar, a long-time anti-gun advocate, plans to hold committee hearings on his gun control proposals beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 5 through Thursday, February 7 in State Office Building Room 10.
