McVain?
I see zero grassroots support for the guy. This will be my fourth parade, and I see the left out there, DFL and Obambi people working these local events but no sign of the maverick.

As you say we need to start bottom up and push real conservatives.

In February, 2007, a group of legislators met with a group of us from the St. Cloud BPOU. Our message to these legislators was simple:

Fight for solid conservative principles on issue after issue & we’ll have your backs.

They did that that entire session. I even adopted a state legislator who turned out to be a rock star freshman named Steve Gottwalt.

Like Andy said, there’s a big batch of good conservatives worthy of our shoe leather, our $$$ & our moral support this year. More importantly, each of us has a responsibility to each other. Staying home & whining about how imperfect our candidates are is shirking our responsibility so it’s time to affect change.

I recently told a major St. Cloud businessman that “It’s not like people woke up in November, 2006, & said that ‘I’m tired of our legislators spending my taxes too efficiently & in too limited of amounts.” I also told him that voters didn’t vote for billions of $$$ of tax increases in 2006.

Carpe Diem–Sieze the Day.

Now’s the time to spread this message of liberty, prosperity & solutions. God knows the other side won’t preach that gospel. It’s time to lock & load & change the direction of politics in this Minnesota.

Let’s get it done.
