Rally for Governor Pawlenty’s Spending Accountability Amendment
It was announced just a day before Thanksgiving and got lost in the shuffle so I thought I'd post this announcement for the upcoming rally next Monday. If you're for controlling spending this is for you. It can be argued we should not need to amend the Constitution. To which I would say, yes and we should also know how to live within our means which has clearly been forgotten. It's called a budget folks, most families, churches and businesses already know about this, it's time the legislature learned too. Come out and support the governor on Dec. 7th.
Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Tony Sutton and Deputy Chairman Michael Brodkorb today announced that the Party will hold a rally on December 7, 2009 in the Capitol Rotunda in support of Governor Pawlenty’s Spending Accountability Amendment to cap state spending with the legislative sponsors of the amendment, Representative Paul Kohls and Senator Amy Koch.
“I support the Spending Accountability Amendment because it’s just common sense that spending should match income. On December 7, I look forward to joining with fellow Minnesotans at the State Capitol to make our voices heard on this important issue,” said Senator Amy Koch.
“To secure Minnesota’s future, we need this amendment on the ballot in November 2010. We need to keep government spending under control. We need to keep the Democrats from enacting massive unsustainable spending,” said Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Tony Sutton.
“It seems we are always waiting until the last days of the legislative session to agree on how much to spend. It’s time we put a stop to that approach. If we know from the start the maximum amount that can be spent, we can focus on actually setting priorities, reforming government and spending taxpayer money more effectively. We need to stop debating how much to grow government and start talking about how we can best create jobs for Minnesotans,” said Representative Paul Kohls.
“The time has come for this amendment. I’m sure the special interests and the Democrat big spenders won’t like it but it is absolutely the right thing to do for the future of our children,” said Republican Party of Minnesota Deputy Chairman Michael Brodkorb.
