caucus like your rights depend on it (they do)

John – Did you see the latest ridiculousness out of Alabama? Yesterday the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are people – and destroying them will lead to murder charges. Frozen. Embryos. This not only makes abortion completely out of the question in Alabama, it makes in vitro …

Make Julie Your Valentine

John – We’re hoping you can help us make Julie’s day today. She’s hard at work at the Auditor’s office, and when she’s done today, she has a few things on her campaign to-do list before she can enjoy the night with her husband. Something that would really make her day is ending it with a card…

Protect Abortion

John – Abortion rights are under attack across the country. There’s no question that the GOP is dead set on banning abortion wherever they have power. Women in Minnesota are safe, for now. If the GOP regains power in Minnesota, the first thing they’d do is ban abortion. That’s why I’m hoping…

John – After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Minnesota became an island in the Upper Midwest – the only state that didn’t enact draconian limitations on abortions. Minnesotans favor this by a wide margin, but the GOP has other plans. They aim to severely limit abortions here like nearly all of our…
