Action 4 Liberty is always a target of the RINO Establishment because we challenge the status quo and push Republican legislators to adhere to their party platform and not cave to radical Democrats. The most recent battle that has caused some A4L scrutiny from the RINOs is the issue of a recent vote of many Republicans voting for a massive unconstitutional, multi-subject budget bill for three different departments that included abortion spending. As seen in recent A4L reporting, a majority of House GOP Reps voted against the legislation but 29 RINOs did support it.

The Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) should actually be called the ‘Minnesota Citizens Compromising on Life’ since this self-touted “pro-life” group is attacking A4L for exposing the RINOs who voted to fund abortions! A real pro-life group would be fighting alongside A4L against corrupt omnibus bills that fund abortion but the MCCL is instead attempting to provide cover for their RINO Legislator friends.

The MCCL sent a mass email to Minnesotans that attempted to blame A4L for the death of unborn babies while simultaneously defending the RINOs that funded it! The tried and failed attack lines against A4L highlights how compromised this group is to the corrupt RINO Establishment. They claim, without evidence, that our group “cost unborn lives” with attacks against GOP Senators. It is of course a bogus claim to suggest that A4L attacking RINOs who fund abortion is what caused the Democrat trifecta, if it were true, how did the GOP take control of the House in the following election?

The TRUTH is that the Senate was taken over by the Dems because RINO Tony Jurgens endorsed radical Democrat Judy Seeberger in Senate District 41 over Republican Tom Dippel in a race that was decided by just 321 votes (161 flipped votes would've given the Senate to the GOP). RINO Tony Jurgens gave the Senate to the Dems, not A4L! Interestingly, the corrupt MCCL has even given Jurgens a "100%" pro-life rating!

Doesn’t the MCCL realize that they lose credibility and trust with the grassroots when they lie so blatantly? Why are they willing to cover for abortion funding RINOs rather than push a true pro-life message? 

Senator Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) has even stated that a MCCL lobbyist (Don Parker) “begged” him not to introduce a Life at Conception amendment on the Senate floor. Wesenberg chose to anyway and all Republicans voted yes because they knew they had eyes on them and they had cover in the minority. However, the MCCL wanted to protect RINOs from a pro-life vote which is the exact opposite of what pro-life Minnesotans want to see!

A4L has NEVER pushed any policy or plan that works to the contrary of the pro-life movement. Meanwhile, the MCCL is advocating for this bill and lying to Minnesotans by claiming that abortion is funded no matter what because of Doe v. Gomez. However, that is not true, it is funded through “Medical Assistance” and that has been admitted by many Reps including RINO Jim Nash (48A). A court cannot compel a legislator to vote a certain way! Why else would a MAJORITY of Republican Reps oppose this bill? 

If all 67 House Republicans held a hard line and refused to support the unconstitutional abortion and Planned Parenthood-funding omnibus bill, The GOP does not have to fund the “Medical Assistance” and should not accept any bill that is not in line with Article 4, Section 17 of the MN Constitution limiting a bill to a single subject. 

A4L is taking the hard-line position on the fight against taxpayer funded abortions and Planned Parenthood. The MCCL’s attacks against us for this issue proves that they are a totally fake pro-life group masquerading as such to fool conservatives and take their money. According to the MCCL’s website, their mission is to “secure protection for innocent human life from conception until natural death through effective education, legislation, and political action”. The MCCL is failing to push their own mission by supporting taxpayer funded abortions! The MCCL has blood on their hands! The MCCL has even made an anti pro-life commercial with Michelle Tafoya!

Do not forget, this was a Democrat bill that only had Dems as authors in the House and Senate. The MCCL is playing cover for a Democrat bill that funds abortion and Planned Parenthood. While Planned Parenthood is generally thought of for abortion, they are also doing “gender affirming care whenever and however we can under the law” in Minneapolis according to their webpage. The MCCL is willing to excuse millions of taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood and “Medical Assistance” abortions just because there’s some funding for pregnancy centers… How pathetic!

The MCCL’s Executive Director, Scott Fischbach, is the husband of RINO Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach (CD7). The Fischbachs have shown their hand for the public to see, they want to control MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash. So far, it’s working. Plechash is repeating MCCL’s lies about abortion funding and put out an endorsement for Fischbach for 2026 on behalf of the MNGOP! This blatantly violates Article IV, Section 8 of the MNGOP bylaws which requires neutrality of party officers until a candidate is endorsed. Plechash is spitting in the faces of the conservative delegates who withheld the party endorsement from Fischbach against conservative Steve Boyd despite her incumbency. See rule and endorsement below:

Grassroots conservatives have let their opinions be known through the party platform. As seen on the MNGOP website, the party platform remains listed as the “State Party Platform (2022) party” because the Establishment has tried for years to scrap the entire platform and replace it with language that does not include pro-life provisions. The only way delegates could oppose the Establishment’s takeover of the platform over the years is to simply keep the 2022 platform intact. This bill violates the party platform as it opposes both abortions and omnibus spending bills yet the party Chair fights against the will of the delegates.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to correct the record when scam groups like the MCCL attempt to smear our names when we are informing citizens in the same way they should be. The MCCL is a phony pro-life group and is really fighting for the interests of pro-abortion legislation. Unfortunately for the MCCL, smears and attacks against A4L that are so transparently dishonest have the opposite effect than the RINO's intended consequences. The MCCL has now exposed themselves as a fake pro-life group and have legitimized A4L as the LEADER in fighting corrupt abortion omnibus bills. Patriots have wisened up to the smears and are not falling for it. A4L is and will continue to be strong as ever.
