Here’s the dirty little secret of elections:\u00a0 if you wait until November, all the really <\/em>important decisions have already been made.\u00a0 The party’s selection of candidates, its platform, its high-level policy -all of that gets set…<\/p>\n

…at the precinct caucuses.<\/p>\n

Which are on Tuesday, February 2 – just three weeks from tonight!<\/p>\n

If you’re a Republican – or, more importantly, are an “indepdendent” who is reeling from sticker shock at all the “hope and change” out there, and want to join a lot of like-minded Americans in saving things while we can – then I hope you see you on February 2 at your GOP precinct caucuses.\u00a0 It’s there that you vote for delegates that will go to the State House District Conventions to support your candidates – and hopefully win, and go on to the Congressional District conventions, and finally the State Convention, where we will hopefully select the next Governor of Minnesota.<\/p>\n

And it all starts at your precinct!<\/p>\n

“But where’s that, Mitch?”<\/p>\n

The MNGOP has it all right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can also follow, and post on, your caucus on Twitter using the #MNGOPCaucus hashtag.\u00a0 You can also add an MNGOP Caucus Twitter Ribbon to your avatar (I refuse to call it a “Twibbon”, I’m sorry)\u00a0at this link, if you’re so inclined.<\/a><\/p>\n

At any rate – if you don’t show up at a caucus on February 2, I don’t wanna year you complaining about the MN GOP’s course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
