 Tuesday, Americans will decide our nation’s course for the next four years. It seems that every election, we hear from political pundits that we are facing the most important election of our lifetime. Yet setting that hyperbole aside, few can deny this is a very significant election and with every election, informed and robust civic participation is vital.
Minnesota Majority is working to make it easier for you to be informed and cast your ballot with knowledge and confidence. Check out our collection of election information and tools at www.VoteYourValuesMN.org.
You can locate your polling place, review incumbent House members’ voting records and find-out where the candidates stand on the issues. Contact information is provided for all the candidates, so you can ask any last minute questions that still remain unanswered.
Beyond voting, there is still time for you to help make a difference. If you live in one of our spotlighted districts, you can help inform your neighbors on the positions of your legislative candidates by printing and distributing copies of our Candidate Comparison Flyer, or get them to your neighbors by email.
The major political parties are still recruiting and training poll challengers. A poll challenger is a volunteer observer who stays at a polling place in their district on Election Day. A poll challenger’s job is to assist election judges by acting as another set of eyes and ears to observe general goings-on at the polls, and to challenge voters they have reason to believe are ineligible to vote in that precinct. If you are interested in being a poll challenger, see one of the following for more information:

Polls open Tuesday at 7:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM (polls don’t open until 8:00 AM or 10:00 AM in some townships). Please be a part of helping move Minnesota and America in the right direction by being knowledgeable on the candidates and casting your ballot for the individuals who best represent your values. |

 In the face of the modern liberal assault on Constitution-based values, an attack that has steadily snowballed since President Roosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s and resulted in a federal government that is a massive, unaccountable conglomerate, the time for re-enforcing the intellectual and practical case for conservatism is now. Conservative beliefs in individual freedoms do in the end stand for liberty for all Americans, while liberal dictates lead to the breakdown of civilized society -- in short, tyranny. Looking back to look to the future, Levin writes "conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its principles are our founding principles." And in a series of powerful essays, Levin lays out how conservatives can counter the liberal corrosion that has filtered into every timely issue affecting our daily lives, from the economy to health care, global warming, immigration, and more -- and illustrates how change, as seen through the conservative lens, is always prudent, and always an enhancement to individual freedom.
