It’s Valentines' Day...not a real good VD

It’s Valentines' Day
 
………..and do these members of the Minnesota House and Senate members have a “SWEETHEART” Deal for you.  They and their attorney and judicial friends want to break your heart and want a sweet deal for their own special interests, attorneys and sitting judges.  They want all judges to be selected by fewer than 100 committee appointees, committees consisting of attorneys and special interest groups.  These individuals support retention elections currently listed as HF1666 in the Minnesota House and SF1465 in the Minnesota Senate
 
They want to take away your right to vote on judges.  They want all judges appointed.  They want to be the ones to make all selections of who should be our judges.  They want to take away local control from the local voter in the name of “non-partisan appointments” to the judiciary.  They do not want to have ANY JUDGE STAND FOR ELECTION or to share their beliefs with the Minnesota electorate.  They believe that the Minnesota electorate is ignorant and incapable of making any decision regarding who their judges should be. 

 
Thank Rep. Joe Hoppe and Sen. David Hann for with drawing their support of this egregious piece of legislation.  Call them and tell them "THANK YOU".
 
Action is required
 
Call the Minnesota Legislative members listed below and tell them you want them to withdraw their name from supporting HF1666 and SF1465.  Do it now.  And again in two days.  And then again in three days.   Vocally voice your opposition to these two very dangerous bills that will STRIP AWAY VOTING RIGHTS.
 
…….CALL NOW…….
