A message to local metro PAC's who support Democrat pro-business candidates

I came across a metro PAC's statement on business.

http://www.saintpaulchamber.com/cwt/external/wcpages/public/get_involved.aspx

The PAC endorses and provides contributions to candidates running for elected office with a pro-business agenda. The PAC is an appointed Committee that is funded independently from the Chamber.

What is pro-business and what is Obama business?

It's the difference between a federal statutory line of credit for big business and the thousands of small businesses creating jobs and vitality but denied credit.
To boot their tax helps fund the line of credit for their government-allied competitor.

It's subsidy-chasing, Tax Increment Financed big business versus taxpaying small biz.

It's the possible expiration of the Internet Tax moratorium by federal Democrats in 2011 with Minnesota's long-ignored Use tax revived, ready and waiting ; versus supporting small local internet based businesses.

It's energy tax costs passed onto the small business owner by compliant energy companies thru Al Gore's fraudulently established cap and trade scheme; versus policy that decreases energy cost like facility expansion and competition.

It's large companies meeting rising healthcare costs versus small business that can't afford it.

And yes, it's PAC's in the Democrat metro area saying they only want to support a winner according to poll data they won't share with Republican candidates; versus fighting the Obama administration for the preservation of the system as we know it by backing republican candidates.

The administration's reports of the number of jobs created by government can't be trusted. They once said 2 million jobs would be created abolishing private healthcare insurance. Well the largest insurer at the time employed 69,000. So either the government report is bogus or they need 2 million to do the job of 69,000.

Challenge your fellow PAC's to support Republicans on principle - and not the phony pro-business Obama policy.

Judicial Reform

Please visit http://www.facebook.com/JamieforStateRep for an important update to the expected 2010 ballot.

Below are my thoughts on judicial reform, which thankfully is not on the ballot this year, and the misguided federal AZ action by Eric Holder at the DOJ. Greg Wersal, who won a landmark 2002 case for the right to free association of judicial candidates, may have been a big influence on the tabling of Quie's judicial reform.

Contrast the two links below.

The DFL has steadfastly declined to endorse judges on the ground that it would be inappropriate, given that such elections are supposed to be nonpartisan.

Heaney [a democrat judge who passed away June 22 2010 at 92 after serving grateful Minnesotans honorably and well] helped shape political strategy for candidates, organize caucus strategies, acted as a filter on patronage jobs and got out the votes of the party faithful.


The MNGOP party contains two groups of thought on this. One group opposes party endorsement of judicial candidates out of respect for the non-partisan nature of the office, the importance of maintaining the neutrality of the office, and protecting judges from potential moral hazards; and one group supports it. As you can see there are strong arguments for each side.
We can disagree on this issue and still share and enjoy party unity - indeed it is critical to winning our races in 2010 that our party remain strong and enjoy wide support.
