From Kris Broberg, GOP-endorsed candidate for Minneapolis City Council in Ward 13:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I was just informed of a report that rates Minneapolis precincts for
voter fraud.

Believe it or not many of the WORST precincts for VOTER FRAUD in the
city are in WARD 13.

If you do nothing else to help the campaign, I think assuring an
honest and fair election for all is a worthy achievement.

If you can be a poll challenger please let me know.  I will get you in
touch with Kaylea and get you some training.  We have two volunteers
so far but we have 10 precincts.  I would really like people who could
do the whole day, but you can do half days.

15% of all votes in the city come from Ward 13 so it is in the
interest to help our city wide candidates as well.

PLEASE HELP!

Tell Kaylea you want to be a challenger in Ward 13 for Kris.

Aug. 25 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve must for the first time identify the companies in its emergency lending programs after losing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

Manhattan Chief U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled against the central bank yesterday, rejecting the argument that loan records aren't covered by the law because their disclosure would harm borrowers' competitive positions.

Dear Senator Klobuchar,

In August you (or your office) responded to my concerns about the Federal Reserve and the need for true accountability of that quasi-governmental entity. You said that you would consider my views and the views of all Minnesotans. Please consider then the recent news that 3 in 4 Americans favor auditing the Federal Reserve. A look at the poll numbers shows other trends favoring a closer look at one of the most powerful institutions in America: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/business/general_business/july_2009/75_favor_auditing_the_fed .

I'm certain that you and your fellow Senators have studied American history and the Constitution. You must therefore be aware of the need for checks and balances. The Federal Reserve as it now exists is unchecked. It can carry out the lending of our currency--the lifeblood of commerce--in closed rooms and only release selected details of meetings years after they have occurred. It can, and does, lend trillions to foreign banks overnight. It's power over interest rates gives it the real power of the purse today and it's transactions with foreign governments and banks give it unchecked power in the realm of foreign policy as well.

For these reasons and more please consider signing your honorable name as a co-sponsor of S 604, the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009. Signing on as a cosponsor will not put you at odds with your party and it can only help win you favor with the concerned voters of this nation.

I don't have political clout or a great resume. I'm just a concerned father trying to get by. No mailing list or website told me to contact you today, just my conscience. Please act on your conscience and use the political influence you have to take a stand against corruption, secrecy, and unchecked power.
