Gubernatorial candidates of three parties held a joint press conference at Hamline University in St Paul, to protest suppression of the political process and today’s exclusionary debate by the DFL and GOP candidates.
Hamline University is hosting a gubernatorial debate in St Paul on Sunday, October 19. In a stunning show of partisan favoritism and in violation of their own policy, the University has invited only two of the five candidates to participate. Only the Democratic and Republican candidates have been invited.
Those on the Iron Range understand the importance of mining, but many Minnesotans may not realize how significant this industry is in our state. This issue has been in the headlines due to the proposed PolyMet mine. Of course, the environment is frequently cited as a cause for concern, and we'll investigate these aspects in this article.
Op-Ed by Chris Holbrook for Governor: It’s disappointing when an independent voice and former leader of the anti-establishment movement sells out and endorses the two-party establishment. WIINO (Was-Independent-In-Name-Only) Tom Horner has recently been trying to convince us that Jeff Johnson and his big government GOP solutions are what Minnesota needs. The opposite is true. Apparently, Libertarians are the only ones left to offer smaller-government solutions.
Peace could hardly seem further away. After years of fighting, it's yet another call to war. Today, we're told that ISIS militants present a clear and present danger to the American people. Is this true? Is there any alternative to endless war? Let's investigate what's happening in Iraq and Syria, the history behind it, and what Libertarians can do.
St. Paul -- On Sunday, Sept. 28, 23 politicians from six political parties released a petition demanding all charges be dropped against a Minnesota mom being prosecuted for providing care for her 15-year-old child, Trey, by treating his traumatic brain injury and related intractable pain with medical cannabis. Proceedings against Angela Brown are expected to begin in Montevideo, Minnesota, on Monday, Sept. 29. If found guilty of the two gross misdemeanor charges Angela Brown is currently facing, Brown could spend two years behind bars and be forced to pay $6,000 in fines.
Listen to LNC Chairman Nicholas Sarwark at the grand opening of the new national office. A great speech and inspiration to all Libertarians!
The business tax doesn't usually generate much excitement. But it sure did this summer, when iconic Minnesota company Medtronic announced its intention to relocate their headquarters overseas. Is the business tax a "good" thing because most people don't pay it? If the business tax were eliminated, would it just benefit "the rich"? Would taxes have to rise for other people? And what of the government services funded by this tax? All of these questions and more will be investigated here.
We have preliminary information that while some at MPR were interested in having Libertarian US Senate candidate Heather Johnson in their debates, they are likely to revert to their protocol of only including candidates with "major party status". There are only 4 candidates in this race. The other three have major party status, one of which has been disavowed by their own party! "Whittling down the number of candidates" to the exclusion of 1 person is not the right thing to do.
The bad news comes daily over our TV screens, and we wonder what can be done about it. People in northern Iraq recruited by ISIS, an organization with substantial financial resources, to go out and brutalize their neighbors. People in a poor neighborhood, taking advantage of discontent with a police officer's actions in Ferguson Missouri, by looting their neighbors' businesses. Higher rates of violent crime in inner city areas, including north Minneapolis. There seems to be one common denominator to all of these. And that's the problem of POVERTY.
