Too much of the dollars that go to the party go to overhead...just like a lot of big charities... LL Absolutely Kevin….the individual candidates can do more with your dollars.

Steve's wholeheartedly & vehemently opposed to a special session. Focus on contacting Pawlenty instead. Actually, I just had a phone conversation with Steve Gottwalt.

There seems to be some idea that the MNGOP chair actually holds the strings over the governor's office, but it's just not true. It is a good idea about the checks though. I'd glad someone mentioned that we can help elect Republicans by mailing photos of $100 checks. Finally an answer to the reason why we've lost so many seats the last 2 elections. Not enough people donating photo's of checks. The best thing is that it doesn't cost me anything so that my donations go further. I may even give an EXTRA-LARGE photo check to the Taxpayer's League!

Not the actual check, but a copy or what have you. You should also include a note saying that if they stand for the platform and oppose tax increases they get the check, if not the money will go to The TaxPayer's League or other such conservative advocacy group that *IS* willing to fight for what you believe in. Frankly Gary, emailing the Legislators now won't do anything. If Pawlenty does do it, yeah then we need to hold them in line. The real battle in this is changing the mindset of the populace so that they don't default to raising taxes everytime something goes bump in the night, especially since there's billions in revenue already taken away on "bumps'" behalf to begin with.
