There's plenty of internal party discussion on what to do about the 6 (R)s who raised taxes $7 Billion. Overnight a group of us in CD6 had the MDE post on the Seifert presser yesterday sent to us with a request for comments.
Here are mine:
There needs to be further action taken. Abler is already trying to say the Guv made him do it. Tinglestad doesn't give a rip. These 6 need to go as do the 2 in the Senate who voted to override for no reason other than their strong desire for a $7 billion tax increase on the citizens. Those are not Republican values or principles. Democrats didn't run on raising taxes in 06, neither did Republicans, so why in the world did 8 Republicans do so?
I'm part of a conservative network group that had the State Chamber of Commerce as a participant. We had been meeting monthly at party HQ, but on Caucus day they moved to the Chamber offices. The group is headed by the TaxPayer's League, but organized by another person. When this month's invite came and I saw it was at the Chamber again, I respectfully declined and told him I'd no longer participate if the Chamber was involved.
Numerous other people did the same and the next meeting has been canceled. Oh and our business is canceling our membership to the state chamber. Our local Chamber opposed the State org's plan. Local chapters are the real small business home. The state chamber is driven by huge corporations that that are seeking to lower costs by having state taxpayers pick up their operating costs. I encourage all of you to check with your local Chamber's and see if they supported the State Chamber. Adjust your memberships accordingly.
Now let's find some real conservatives and run them against Tinglestad and Abler. We can't have these 2 on the ballot for the (R)s. It is going to hurt Bachmann. If we follow our principles we can't support Abler or Tinglestad at the CD level. Bachmann can't afford to write off 2 HDs.
AAA
For all my fellow conservatives who don't want to let Abler and Tinglestad get away with it. Here's what you/we need to do. We need to find people to run against and challenge them. If there is no alternative, these BPOUs will have no choice.
