SD43 Republicans

The 2010 Election Season is heating up.  We have a number of campaign events  coming up shortly.

1.   Senior GOP event on Monday with Chris Barden. 

Chris Barden will be the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the SD43 Seniorson Monday July 12, 3:00pm, Ridgepointe Apartments 12600 Marion Lane W.

2.  The MNGOP will be conducting voter ID calls directed at SD43 tomorrow Saturday July 10, in the new  Victory office (111 Cheshire) from 10-4.   Volunteers are needed.  This is a great way to help out all of our SD43 candidates and the statewide ticket as well.

3. Hamel Rodeo Parade.  The Paulsen campaign is calling for volunteers to walk in the Hamel Rodeo Parade on Sunday July 11.  The parade beings at 2pm  try to arrive around 1:30. If you are unfamiliar with the Hamel area you can  map quest/google map this address: 18005 Medina Rd, this will take you right into town. Parade officials will be there to guide you as well.  The parade starts on Hunter Dr and travels down Hamel Rd and we will end on Brockton Lane. The parade route is about .6 miles.  The Paulsen campaign is unit 45.

4.  Donate to the Chris Barden for Attorney General campaign.

Under the current state financing rules for the AG Race, Chris must have a minimum of 300 Minnesota donors at $50 each ($15,000 total) to qualify for the state campaign subsidy by July 19^th. Once he hits that threshold he receives an infusion of $80,000+ from the state. This campaign financing rule is more about the number of people than it is about the amount of money.

Please consider making a donation of any amount $10 - $1000 max per person to help him out. We hope to see you July 15th. Please feel free to forward this to others.
