Hello Everyone!

I know it probably feels like yesterday when we were all caught up in politics at the district level, but the time has come again to plug in and try to make a difference here in the 4th district. BPOU Conventions are coming up starting March 7th, and we need to start planning and getting our people together for the planning process. I encourage you all to be at this meeting, as it will be your chance to meet your Campaign for Liberty BPOU Coordinators and get some momentum towards taking back your BPOU, then CD4, and then hopefully the state! Meeting Details and Agenda are Below.

Jake, add the Feb 28 Economics of Freedom conference to the agenda, s'il vous plait! And we're actually just about to get the MN C4L official site up. Working on it now.

how did the meeting go? did we get a good turn out? Btw, I have a question: I am trying to convert my friend to our views, but he keeps asking broad questions such as "but whats wrong with government, they regulate everything right?" I am dumbfounded at these questions broadness, and have no idea how to answer.

Meeting went well. We have a lot of energy headed into the BPOU Conventions. I'm optimistic for success.

I am glad to see so many 4th district people here. this gives me hope here in Minnesota. BTW. the MNC4L on Saturday was great. We need to change Minnesota and we need to oust our current spending reps.
