The only hope now is to convince these wayward Republicans to uphold Governor Pawlenty's anticipated veto. We have issued an Action Alert encouraging all Minnesotans to contact their legislators and ask them to support the Governor's veto. |

| These Left wings call themselves republicans! They should be ashamed of themselves.They are there to represent us, not bigger government taxes. I have raised 5 children,I should have more $ in my pocket now that they are gone. But my taxes on my house car,income ect. have gone up so mutch that I am no better of now than 5 years ago. And they are not letting up!!! My taxes go up at 4 times the rate of my paycheck. Maybe I go on welfare next year and get my taxes back and live better than I am now!! |

| Thank You Rinos,You helped my wife and I make up our minds.We were going to purchase a new car this year but now we will just drive our old one.We will not pay the extra taxes and fees on a new one.Also we will not be making any new major purchases in this state.We are now looking at setting money aside to invest in property in another state with much lower taxes. |

I own 4 businesses in Minnesota. I can say with all sincerity, the taxes in Minnesota are creating such a hardship on us that we will either need to move our business to ND or close our doors.
And then idiots like you renegade 6 support raising our taxes even higher. You should be ashamed of yourself! And you call yourself Republicans? Enjoy your final term!

| And we don't want or need diseased people handling our money. We want our EARNED money and the government to do the job of governing not controlling. Stop obligating us to fund governments personal agendas! |
