Charlie Kirk’s legacy, his assassination, and the left’s celebration has been a wake-up call as it has become clear that Patriots’ principles, values, and lives are at stake simply for being an outspoken conservative. In times like these, conservatives need to know who is really on their side.

This is something that Charlie Kirk understood. While he is popularly known for owning the left in debate, Kirk has also pushed back against high-level RINOs and refused to moderate despite alleged repeated requests from donors. Holding firm to principles was a key driving factor to Kirk’s success.

At Kirk’s memorial, Turning Point Action COO and political right-hand man of Kirk, Tyler Boyer, cited some of TPUSA’s origin story involving how the two of them connected over a shared disliking of RINOs. Conservatives know Democrats are opposed to limited government and protecting individual liberties but are sometimes surprised to see it within the GOP as well.

Boyer shared how he and Kirk met in 2014 and would often be the youngest individuals at Tea Party meetings. The Tea Party was founded to counteract weak Republicans who had become consumed by the liberal, globalist Swamp in D.C. or their state Capitol. Kirk’s ties with the Tea Party leading to the creation and growth of TPUSA.

Similarly, A4L spawned off of the Tea Party wave as conservatives became more anti-establishment and demanded the protection of our Constitutional Rights. While Kirk called out national RINOs like Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Thom Tillis, and MN’s own Globalist RINO Tom Emmer (who Kirk called the “worst of all of them” in the 2023 U.S. House Speaker race).

Action 4 Liberty has instead directed our energy toward the state of Minnesota and calling out the corruption of our government. In order to protect liberty for the next generation, A4L must be willing to always say the truth and call out the Democrats and RINOs who are working against your interests. In order to preserve conservative values, A4L understands the lessons Charlie Kirk also understood. The RINOs must be exposed so conservatives have real representation in office.

A4L will continue in our mission of protecting liberty for the next generation and will continue giving a microphone to the grassroots conservative movement. We refuse to cave on principle and will hold politicians to the same standard! If we want to carry forward Charlie Kirk’s legacy, it will only be done by REAL conservatives! Patriots can keep Kirk's legacy of free speech alive by signing our petition for a statue of him at the U of M. Click here to sign or click the image below:

The last time neocon Nikki Haley showed her face in Minnesota, she was clobbered by President Donald J. Trump in the 2024 GOP Presidential primary election. Trump won every single county in that primary and Nikki Haley ended her ridiculous campaign the following day. While grassroots conservatives made it clear that Trump was their choice, Establishment RINO state Rep. Kristin Robbins (37A) was the Chair of Nikki’s MN campaign!

Now Nikki Haley is backing Robbins’ run for Governor and raising money for her. A fundraising message was sent to Nikki Haley supporters and her email/text list where Haley calls Kristin Robbins her “secret weapon”! See the full message here or below:

RINO Kristin Robbins announced her Governor campaign on August 20th with an ad presenting herself as a regular mom fighting fraud and boys in girls sports. As the Chair of the theatric, reactionary, self-serving Fraud Committee, Robbins has been propped by the Establishment Republicans since she’s been loyal to them throughout her seven going on eight years in the state House. 

The Establishment puppets of the House Dems and RINOs on the Fraud committee refuse to look into PPP loan fraud allegations against Rep. Ron Kresha (10A) and refuse to fix the root issue of all this fraud under Walz’ regime: The unconstitutional, corrupt Omnibus bills they’re passing is what’s funding the fraud! You don’t need a committee to figure that out! An example of one of those bills is the Health omnibus bill (HF2435) that funds abortion and Planned Parenthood where Robbins and 28 other RINOs in the House voted for it!

Walz may not be the only fraud in the Governor race because as an attempt to steal the work of A4L’s signature legislation, RINO Kristin Robbins proposed the FAKE Never Again Bill (HF21) which, as introduced, did nothing about vax/mask mandates, allowed one emergency to be declared unilaterally after another, and increased unilateral Governor Emergency Powers declarations from 5 days to 14 days! When Robbins had the chance to vote for the REAL Never Again bill stripping the Governor of unilateral authority to shut our state down, she voted no! In the House State Govt. Finance & Policy Committee, Robbins said that she believed Walz was sincere originally on Covid lockdowns in talks with the state legislature and also said she “absolutely thinks the Governor should have some Emergency Powers”.

It may come as no surprise that Robbins has refused to sign A4L’s Never Again Pledge which requires candidates go on record defending liberty for MN citizens and showing a willingness to strip power from themselves in office. Kristin Robbins joins Scott Jensen, Kendall Qualls, and Jeff Johnson in refusing to stand up for your liberties. Phil Parrish and Brad Kohler have each signed the pledge.

As mentioned previously, Robbins was the chair for RINO Nikki Haley’s MN campaign. Anyone with any know-how in politics saw Trump was on a path toward decisive victory in the GOP primary so the RINOs were hedging their bets and hoping Trump would be sent to prison for one of the bogus crimes against him. In that case, Nikki Haley could become the nominee by default as she would have the most delegates. Those that endorsed and supported Haley were on a mission to terminate MAGA and install a war-mongering feminist RINO in his place. See full press release here or Nikki Haley's MN team below:

Haley, her team, and the RINOs who supported her that claimed that Trump could not win were proven wrong with Trump winning every battleground state. In the 2026 midterm elections, turnout will determine which party wins in MN. If the MNGOP selects an anti-MAGA candidate like Kristin Robbins to run against Walz, the base will not turn out.

Tim Walz has only become less popular in Minnesota and has been exposed as a total clown and liar. Typically, a VP nominee from a state increases voter turnout and support for the ticket. Instead in MN, turnout dropped by 3.61% and Kamala/Walz lost 1.48% compared to Biden/Kamala in 2020! On the other hand, President Trump increased the number of votes and percentage of votes he has received in Minnesota in both 2020 and 2024 proving that he has made serious inroads with non-traditional voters.

Trump received the highest number of votes for any Republican for any race in MN history. If the 1,519,032 voters that voted for Trump in Minnesota all voted in 2022 for Scott Jensen, Walz would have lost. This means a candidate who excites the base is required to win. A Nikki Haley RINO like Kristin Robbins will not be able to do that!

The RINO, special interest, and lobbyist money that Robbins will receive thanks to Nikki Haley’s support will not help her win, that endorsement will hurt her with the conservative and broader electorate. Nikki Haley’s “special weapon” may be rejected by the MAGA base before she’d even get to go against Walz.

The Left’s celebration and justification of Charlie Kirk’s assassination can be found from the bottom of the barrel to the highest ranks of the Democrat Party. In Minnesota’s case, Socialist Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said shortly after Kirk was killed that people who say Kirk wanted civil debate or those who were “rewriting this hateful man’s history” were “full of shit” and suggested the shooter may not have been left wing. In another interview, Omar said Kirk and his legacy should be “in the dust bin of history”.

Like most on the Left, Omar has decided to cherry-pick out-of-context quotes and misrepresent Kirk’s beliefs rather than tackling the issues and his legacy honestly. The failure of the Left to condemn this assassination cannot be forgotten. Ilhan is not alone in Congress that refuses to have decency surrounding this tragedy. 58 Democrats voted against a resolution honoring the life of Charlie Kirk while 38 Dems voted ‘Present’ and an additional 22 Dems didn’t take a vote.

The Left labeled anyone who thinks differently than them a fascist and nazi, celebrated Kirk’s death, pretended the shooter with a tranny furry boyfriend was a conservative, knowingly pushes false blame onto the Right, and then demands gun rights be stripped of law abiding citizens. The Left can no longer be negotiated with politically.

Many Democrats have pointed to the assassination of former MN Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog and the assassination attempts against Sen. John Hoffman and his wife as an example of right wing violence. Unlike the mentioned example, there was nobody on the right who justified or celebrated the killings or crazed assassin like we see the Left has with Charlie Kirk. In fact, some Republicans went above and beyond in praising their political opponent Melissa Hortman despite her record including support for Covid lockdowns/business closures, mask/vax mandates, transgender surgeries for children/toddlers, gun control, protected pedophiles in the MN Human Rights Act, spending away surplus dollars, and every other left wing policy implemented during her tenure. 

While A4L recognized Hortman as a tough leader who could get her caucus in line with whatever the agenda was, we did not heap on praise that we did not believe to be true. Her operation and control of the state House was the most corrupt our state has maybe ever witnessed like ramrodding bills through while refusing to recognize Republicans making motions on the floor. On the other hand, some RINOs showed their true Uniparty colors by revealing how close they were with Hortman and showing how aligned they truly were with Hortman in information that would've likely otherwise remained hidden.

RINOs and Establishment puppets in the MN Legislature need to realize that there is no negotiating with people who would rather have you dead than they debate your ideas. While there are many examples to choose from, we can look to Sen. Jim Abeler (SD35) who votes with Dems constantly on unconstitutional omnibus bills, caves whenever the GOP has leverage, voted for radical leftist Bobby Joe Champion for state Senate President, and despite the constant good-will he shows to the Left, they always attack him just as hard as any other Republican in elections. It does not matter that he votes for corrupt big government omnibus bills with the Dems, they will label Abeler a right wing nut job regardless. Some in the GOP are learning that you gain nothing from deals with Democrats, as seen with the regret of Reps following the House GOP seating Brad Tabke (54A) despite massive election integrity issues.

While conservatives must be vigilant politically and refuse to concede an inch, the Charlie Kirk memorial service featured a powerful moment that amazed the world when Erika Kirk forgave the killer of her husband. The Christian virtue of forgiveness echoed throughout the world as she grace over anger. If that virtue is not mutual, there can still be humanity between conservatives and the Left but the days of the GOP caving to liberal garbage must officially be OVER. The Left must come to accept conservative positions and policies, not the other way around. This cross-roads is a Turning Point for our country and A4L knows Kirk’s legacy has only grown. 

While A4L is attacked for being critical of RINOs we should not forget that Charlie Kirk did the same thing. Kirk played confrontational politics with GOP Senators to support RFK Jr.’s difficult Senate confirmation vote. From calling out Mitch McConnell to Mitt Romney to Thom Tillis, Kirk has been willing to fight the Establishment RINOs. Kirk has even called out MN's own Globalist RINO Tom Emmer (as dubbed by President Donald J. Trump) and mocked the idea of someone as liberal as Emmer being the GOP's choice for Speaker of the House in 2023. Kirk said that people like Jim Jordan and Byron Donalds were potential upgrades while Emmer was the "worst of all of them". While not all of Kirk’s endorsements stand the test of time as America First conservatives, he has typically favored the more conservative candidate in GOP primaries like J.D. Vance’s U.S. Senate run, Andy Biggs’ AZ Governor run, or Don Huffines’ TX Comptroller run.

A4L is leading the movement in MN to preserve Charlie Kirk’s legacy by pushing a petition to commission a statue of him on the campus at the U of M, where Kirk was set to visit just 12 days after his tragic death. Patriots can sign our petition to do so by clicking the image below:

Democrat state Representative Kaohly Vang Her’s comments on the House floor went viral online as she described herself as an “illegal immigrant” during debate about revoking taxpayer funded healthcare for illegal aliens. She states that her father forged immigration documents, mislabeling family members to gain citizenship. See video below:

Many conservatives were shocked by the admission and could not believe that she was in elected office. Before calling herself an “illegal immigrant” in the speech, Vang Her remarked about her friendships with Republican state Reps Elliot Engen (36A), Dawn Gillman (17A), and Josh Heintzeman (6B).

Vang Her is now running for Mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota's Capital city, seemingly because she thinks woke leftist incumbent Melvin Carter isn’t far left enough! St. Paul is already a “sanctuary city” for illegal aliens and will not cooperate with I.C.E. deportations, what more could she want? On Vang Her’s website listing her vague priorities she insinuates 911 calls for drug use (drug addicts) and mental health (lunatics) are “non-police emergency calls”, thinks growth can substitute tax cuts, wants to develop more low income housing to be ghettoized, and wants to fight back against Trump on behalf of illegal aliens and men pretending to be women.

Interestingly, she is positioning herself to the right of Melvin Carter on issues like business, regulations, crime, and government efficiency. Vang Her is also positioning herself to the left of Carter on illegal immigration by arguing that Saint Paul can’t just refuse to cooperate with I.C.E. but must be oppositional. She also considers illegals to be “citizens” and that the St. Paul Police force must protect them against I.C.E. (irresponsibly demanding local police fight federal law enforcement on behalf of illegals). 

To throw another wrench into the equation, Vang Her was Melvin Carter’s policy director during his first term, highlighting that little separates the two ideologically however her attacks on Carter’s mismanagement of the city appears to be landing.

Vang Her joins a trend of ultra-woke, far leftists running for Mayoral offices like we see with Omar Fateh in Minneapolis and Zohran Mamdani in New York City. The Democrat base of major cities has shifted so far to the Socialist left and the Democrats from swing districts are enabling it!

Just like previous A4L reporting showed with Aric Putnam (SD14) and Judy Seeberger (SD41) endorsing Muslim Socialist Omar Fateh, six swing district Democrat legislators have endorsed Vang Her’s insurgent left wing campaign including newly elected House Dem Leader Zack Stephenson (35A), Reps Josiah Hill (33B), Pete Johnson (8A), Brad Tabke (54A), Dan Wolgamott (14B) and Senator John Hoffman (SD34). Unlike the left’s celebration of Charlie Kirk’s death, A4L will show grace and give a pass to Hoffman and his recent endorsements as he and his wife nearly lost their lives due to the lunatic who also assassinated Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog.

As far as the five House Reps are concerned, they all witnessed on the floor that their colleague admitted she was in our country illegally! DWI Dan Walgomott, who is running for MN State Auditor, was even sitting right next to her and clung onto her every word like a psychopath! 

Brad Tabke shouldn’t even be in office with the major election fraud in his race and nobody should respect his endorsement. All of these swing district Democrats, Pete Johnson of Duluth in particular, pretend to be blue-dog, Jim Webb-style Democrats but at the end of the day, they are just as pro-open border as any blue-haired radical leftist at an anti-I.C.E. riot. One would think that swing district Dems would favor their constituents over illegal aliens but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The League of Women Voters of Saint Paul held a candidate forum with Carter, Vang Her, and three other candidates: Chinese immigrant scientist Yan Chen, bike lane obsessed engineer Adam Dullinger, and capitalist businessman Mike Hilborn who is running as an Independent. The full debate can be seen here. 

On the question about immigration during this forum, only Hilborn said he would cooperate with I.C.E. as Mayor while the other four said they would not. Vang Her called illegal aliens “citizens” that the Saint Paul Police force must protect against federal law enforcement. Vang Her expressed that illegal aliens’ Constitutional Rights are being violated which is odd considering her record as a pro-lockdown, anti-freedom legislator during Covid and her support for gun control and all kinds of big government policies.

On the issue of gun control Melvin Carter proposed banning assault rifles, binary triggers, guns in rec centers/libraries, and requiring all guns have a serial number. Vang Her complained the city didn’t help her with her gun control bill on reporting lost or stolen firearms. Candidates Chen and Dullinger expressed support for gun control with Dullinger pointing out that the Mayor can do very little about it and Hilborn directed the gun issue to fighting crime and putting more cops on the streets. 

On the question about rent control Melvin Carter stood by the policy and even claimed that the exemptions put in place solve 90-95% of concerns with the policy. Vang Her said “BIPOC” landlords had complained about the policy to her and she’d make changes, showing she would not care if white landlords came to her with the same concerns. Chen and Dullinger expressed concern with the exemptions and Hilborn said the policy must be totally eliminated and supported property and sales tax cuts. Dullinger also suggested creating Mamdani-style government run grocery stores at one point in the debate due to store closures thanks to high levels of theft.

Like Jacob Frey in Minneapolis, Melvin Carter does not have a single endorsement from the state legislature. The Star Tribune and others have listed Carter as a potential Lt. Governor candidate to run alongside Walz, however, Walz has not even endorsed Carter for reelection like he has done previously so it seems unlikely that a Walz/Carter ticket will be formed. Unlike the Minneapolis race is that Saint Paul did not hold a Democrat endorsing convention for Mayor.

The leftward march of the Democrat Party shows that they have learned nothing from the 2024 landslide election of President Trump, especially on immigration. These swing district Democrats may face serious political consequences as they double-down publicly by endorsing self-described illegal aliens for office that want open borders and to make Minnesota’s Capital city a refuge for illegal alien criminals. Saint Paul voters will get to rank the options for Mayor on Tuesday, November 4th.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to be the source of truth and critical information that Patriots cannot get anywhere else. In order to protect liberty for the next generation, our country, state, and cities must stop prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens. We will continue leading the conservative movement of our state by never wavering on our principles. 

As MN Democrats plan to violate the 2nd Amendment and disarm regular Minnesotans with insane gun control, the state Dem party hypocritically announced they’ll be increasing their own armed security for themselves. Democrats think they should have guns to protect them but don’t want you to have that same Right. Politicians often think they are better than the average citizen and deserve more.

A4L President Erik Mortensen pointed out the blatant hypocrisy on X, see below:

As seen above, the title of their press release and the contents of it indicate that the increased campaign security will be available to “all Minnesota candidates” which would mean they may offer the services to GOP, third party, and nonpartisan candidates however the press release leaves more questions than answers in this regard. 

Additionally, the Dems shaming the MNGOP to do a program they can’t afford will not change the financial struggles of the MNGOP due to many grassroots conservatives not trusting the party since the failed era of RINO David Hann as party chair. Once Alex Plechash took over, he tried to cover-up the truth about Hann paying a Kamala supporter tens of thousands of dollars of party money. The MNGOP has even condemned Action 4 Liberty with bogus smears and lies that they provide zero examples or evidence for. 

Patriots know that A4L will never waiver on principle and will continue leading MN’s conservative, liberty movement. As seen at the state fair, Action 4 Liberty’s Walz Lies Booth drew around 100,000 individuals and got national attention because we are unafraid to call out the truth. 

The MNGOP must be willing to stand up and defeat the Democrats’ radical, unconstitutional, gun-grabbing agenda whenever Tyrant Tim Walz calls a special session. The House GOP could flat out refuse to even show up, though the House GOP has already publicly conceded that issue and are reportedly “optimistic” about reaching a “public safety deal” with Democrats but Demuth says in the same reporting that she does not “think” the Dems have the votes to pass gun control. As previously reported by A4L, MN House Speaker Lisa Demuth trashed gun control at the state central convention and A4L also hears that GOP floor leader Harry Niska told his BPOU there will be no gun control passed.

One way the GOP could protect the Majority temporarily would be to reject Xiongpao (XP) Lee's election certificate due to his "8647" social media posts linked to assassinating President Trump. If the GOP were to forego the rules that were designated for the regular session (as per House Rules) then they would only need 67 votes to reject Lee's election certificate on the basis of eligibility. Unfortunately, this is unlikely because the GOP would have to give up their theatrical Fraud Committee, which has uncovered no new fraud and simply reacts to what the media uncovers, except when A4L reports that Morrison County residents accuse RINO Ron Kresha of PPP loan fraud, then Kresha's Democrat and RINO buddies get real quiet!

A4L will not cave an inch on gun control and will protect We The People’s Right to defend ourselves. The shooting tragedies in Minnesota and nationwide will not be solved by impeding on law abiding citizens since criminals do not follow the law as is. We will keep Patriots informed as the gun control issue develops.

Radical leftist Xiongpao (XP) Lee has been declared the winner in the House District 34B special election defeating Republican businesswoman Ruth Bittner. This seat became vacant following the assassination of former Speaker Melissa Hortman, who tragically was murdered with her husband and dog by a crazed lunatic.

In a moment where maturity is needed and political violence/political assassinations must be totally condemned, XP Lee misses the mark. Lee has posted at least twice on social media the code “8647” which is linked to assassinating President Trump. This was first reported by Alpha News just one day before the HD34B special election. See below:

“8647” received major national headlines in May of this year due to deep state Establishment hack James Comey sharing these numbers written with seashells. As became nationally known in that month, these numbers indicate the desire to, at best, impeach President Trump and, at worst, assassinate President Trump. The use of numbers as opposed to outwardly using words indicates that this code was a signal to far left extremists in support of political violence. Note that XP Lee’s June social media posts came after Comey's post in May was called out (and Comey later apologized) for posting the exact same thing, indicating that Lee likely understood the meaning. As someone who came into our country as a refugee, one would think Lee should be more appreciative of the nation and not seek violence against our elected leaders.

The assassinations and assassination attempts against Melissa Hortman, Senator John Hoffman, Charlie Kirk, President Donald Trump, and other less recent examples shows that radical beliefs are growing. When Kirk was publicly killed for holding open and fair debates on college campuses, many on the left celebrated or justified his killing in ways we’ve never seen the political right act.

America is at a Turning Point and cannot allow radical Democrats to continue radicalizing our country by labeling over half of Americans as Nazis, authoritarians, and Fascists. Those who celebrate, justify, or imply their support of murdering political opponents are the true authoritarians and must be held to account. Debate can and should be combative and tough but we cannot accept it devolving into murder.

If the shoe was on the other foot, Democrats would not seat this individual in the Legislature. They would make a huge stink and would dig their heels in. Now Republicans must man-up and maintain their 67-66 Majority heading into Walz’ gun control special session by rejecting XP Lee’s election certificate. In other words, the GOP House Majority is gone if they seat XP Lee.

According to Article 4, Section 6 of the Minnesota Constitution, the state House is the judge of the election returns and eligibility of members. MN Statute 209.10 Subd. 5 lays out the process for a legislative hearing on the election contest, establishes that a majority vote determines a member’s eligibility, does not allow the individual in question (XP Lee) to vote on the issue, and expressly does not limit the House’s Constitutional authority as the judge of their chamber’s election returns. 

XP Lee’s social media posts have made it clear, he is not fit for office and is using codes to show support for political violence. Republicans hold the House Majority and Lisa Demuth holds the gavel, they do not have to concede when it is clear that the left would rather we be dead than engage in fair debate. It is within the GOP’s power to play hard-ball politics and they would be rewarded by the grassroots for doing so.

Revoking Lee’s election certificate would be a signal that Republicans have grown a spine and understand the reality of the political storm we find ourselves in. This action would also serve as a moment of redemption for the House GOP who caved to Democrats at the beginning of session by seating radical leftist Brad Tabke despite his race being decided by fewer votes than the 21 ballots that Scott County admitted were trashed! At that time, only Reps. Tom Dippel (41B) and Drew Roach (58B) voted against the rule package that allowed Tabke to be seated and recognized the Democrats’ illegitimate swearing in ceremony. Some Reps wish they had never seated Tabke and have realized they’ve gained nothing for it. As usual, A4L was right all along and the House GOP cannot screw this up again!

One may worry that the House Rules prevent Republicans from removing XP Lee since GOP Leadership foolishly agreed that 68 members are required to reject an election certificate however, the rule in question (9. Election Contests) is not contained within the regular rule package that carries over from regular sessions. Instead, this rule is #9 of the section titled "Agreement for House organization 94th regular legislative session February 5, 2025". This means that the rule requiring 68 members to reject an election certificate is NOT applicable! That rule applied only for the regular 2025 session, the GOP can remove Lee with 67 votes. If they wish to send the election contest to the Ethics committee first, they are free to do so but are not required by the rules to do so.

The Left is killing conservatives and celebrating it, the Left has lost the moral highground. The coded implications of assassinating President Trump by XP Lee shows he cannot meet the moment to fill this seat at this time. Had the social media posts been widely known before the election, Lee likely would have received less votes and more conservatives would have turned out. The dark irony of XP Lee taking the seat of an assassinated politician can be avoided if all 67 House Republicans hold strong and refuse to seat him.

XP Lee has also received endorsements from all kinds of crony, evil leftists including Obama AG Eric Holder (Mr. Fast and Furious), MN AG ANTIFA Keith Ellison, Planned Parenthood, a Democrat gerrymandering redistricting committee, and radical Left LGBTQIA2S+ groups. It is clear whose interests he’d be serving in the legislature and it's not the people of Minnesota. As the final and ultimate judge of eligibility for office, the House GOP can take action and determine Xiongpao Lee to be ineligible for the HD34B seat.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to lead the grassroots conservative movement and chart the course for liberty in our state. We encourage Patriots to reach out to their Representatives on revoking the election certificate of XP Lee and can do so here. Those interested in signing our petition to support Sen. Nathan Wesenberg’s bill commissioning a Charlie Kirk statue at the University of Minnesota can do so by clicking here or the image below:

While Democrats celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk and while Tim Walz wishes death upon President Donald J. Trump, Walz pretends to have the moral high ground by demanding unconstitutional gun control in a special session. 

The assassination of former Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, the assassination attempts of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, and the Catholic school shooting have been tragic events that should not be weaponized by crooked politicians to score political points. No amount of gun control would’ve stopped these deranged events and gun laws will only hamper law abiding citizens.

The state Senate sits with a 33-32 Democrat majority with two vacancies that are likely to bring the Senate to a 34-33 Democrat majority. The House currently sits with a 67-66 GOP majority with one vacancy that is likely to bring the House back to a 67-67 tie with Republican Lisa Demuth as Speaker. Walz is likely to call for a special session following the September 16th House special election filling Hortman’s seat. The Senate vacancies will not be filled until November.

GOP control of the Speakership and an equal number of Representatives in the state House can serve as a blockade to radical Tim Walz but only if all 67 House Republicans hold strong and refuse all gun control. Giving Socialist Attorney General ANTIFA Keith Ellison and leftist prosecutors throughout MN even more anti-gun laws will only make it more likely that regular citizens have their Rights trampled. Like was seen in the Walker Anderson case, these crooks even supports the misapplications of gun laws against law abiding citizens! If even one House Republican caves, Democrats win and the 2nd Amendment is lost in Minnesota.

The first line of defense is the House GOP leadership as Speaker Lisa Demuth and House Floor leader Harry Niska, which must not agree to any terms of gun control with Walz. Demuth, Niska, and other legislative leaders met with Walz on Tuesday, Sept. 9th on the topic of a special session and legislative leaders reportedly were optimistic about a “public safety deal” being reached. Demuth also said she “thinks” there are not the votes to pass gun control, which leaves some room for doubt in conservative’s eyes. However as we’ve previously reported, Demuth trashed gun control at the MNGOP State Central convention and must live up to her word. We The People do not want to be left in the dark while Republicans negotiating with Walz behind closed doors, instead, GOP politicians must dig their heels in and not let Tyrant Tim call the shots. If rumors of Demuth running for Governor in 2026 are true, she is going to have to hold the line since Walz is determined to infringe on our 2nd Amendment.

Typical procedure would require legislation to go through the House Rules and Legislative Administration Committee where Niska sits with Republican Elliot Engen (36A) and Democrats Jamie Long (61B) and Athena Hollins (66B). If such action is taken for the special session, Niska and Engen will have eyes on them from conservatives across the state. Commonly, legislative leaders would agree to the legislation being put forward by the Governor, which is likely not going to happen in this case. Additionally, a Declaration of Urgency would seemingly be required since bills would not have three readings as required by the MN Constitution. If a gun control floor vote takes place, the GOP Whip, Jim Nash (48A), would be responsible for getting Republicans to vote as a block against such measures.

Several House RINOs stand out as people who will potentially cave on gun control based on their history of folding to Democrats on such legislation. In 2023, RINO Andrew Myers (45A) was the lone Republican to join Democrats in keeping unconstitutional background checks in SF2909 and in 2024, Myers again voted for gun control with RINO Jeff Witte (57B) in a bill that included a ban on binary triggers (HF2609). 

Sources tell A4L that Andrew Myers, Danny Nadeau, and other liberal GOP Reps have privately said they will vote with the GOP caucus (against gun control). We hope to see them live up to their word.

In the Senate, grassroots conservatives will want to keep an eye on Zach Duckworth (SD57), Michael Kreun (SD32), Karin Housely (SD33), and Carla Nelson (SD24) as previous co-sponsors of gun control and Julia Coleman (SD48) who complained when Democrats stole her gun control bill. Like the House, all Senate Republicans must also refuse to concede our right to bear arms because legislation requires 34 votes to pass. This means the GOP does not have a vote to spare in the Senate and they must be in lockstep. The Senate does not elect party whips, so the responsibility of protecting our gun rights would likely fall on GOP Assistant Leader John Jasinski (SD19). If the Senate GOP holds strong then the House GOP isn't given any ideas on caving and likewise the other way around.

All Senate and House Republicans except Sen. Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) voted for gun control in 2024 in the form of increased penalties on firearm straw purchases (HF548 in the House and SF733 in the Senate). Considering that only Wesenberg stood strong against gun control, we know spineless Republicans must be closely watched by their constituents. 14 freshmen GOP Reps were elected in 2024 and were not in office for the mentioned gun control vote so they would be put to the test in a special session to hold firm to conservative principles.

As mentioned, if just one House Republican caves then the left has won the gun control battle. Grassroots conservatives must hold their elected leaders’ feet to the fire by demanding they not concede an inch on gun control. The GOP should flat out reject a special session by Walz and return the Legislature to regular order in February of 2026. If a special session occurs, the House GOP should pass MAHA-style legislation to tackle the youth mental health crisis in our state, pass Sen. Wesenberg’s bill to give tax breaks to retired police officers who volunteer as school resource officers, and Sen. Wesenberg/Rep. Roach’s legislation that legalizes detransition counseling to solve the gender dysphoria crisis in our state. 

The Catholic school shooting, the President Trump assassination attempt, and the recent Charlie Kirk assassination (which was celebrated by the left) shows the left’s increasing violence must be dealt with and gun control will not solve the greater evil in play. When the shoe was on the other foot, Republicans immediately disavowed the assassin who killed former MN Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. Many on the left celebrate murdering political enemies while the right understands the gravity of such evil.

As has been said many times before, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. The actions of crazed individuals should not limit the freedom of law abiding citizens.

Charlie Kirk was scheduled to be at the University of Minnesota on Sept. 22nd (12 days after his assassination) and Senator Nathan Wesenberg has introduced legislation to have a statue of Kirk built at the U of M campus. A4L has reported on this legislation, the MNGOP State Central Committee's support of it, and has a petition in support of this legislation. Click image below to sign:

Action 4 Liberty will never concede on our Constitutional Rights and will never waiver in our mission of protecting liberty for the next generation. We encourage Patriots to reach out to their legislators and express their views on this critical subject.

The MNGOP State Central Committee met on Saturday, Sept. 13th at Jackpot Junction Casino in Morton, Minnesota to complete party business such as rule changes and establishing the dates for BPOU and Congressional District Conventions. The meeting was chaired by Sen. Gary Dahms, who preferred eye-balling 'division' votes rather than actually counting the votes. Many delegates were unimpressed with Dahms as Chair and some characterized him as old and inept. Remarkably, Dahms is running for reelection in 2026 and would be sworn into a 6th four-year term just 9 days before his 80th birthday. On a positive note, delegates enjoyed the setting and accommodations of the convention's location selected by party leadership.

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the left’s open celebration of it, Patriots decided to make their voices heard. One conservative delegate, Jay Saterbak, requested the body vote in support of the legislation introduced by Sen. Nathan Wesenberg that commissions a statue of Charlie Kirk at the University of Minnesota campus. This was approved by the delegate body in a nearly unanimous vote. When the chair asked if there was any opposition, only one faint 'no' was heard, which some delegates speculated was uttered by Mandy Heffron, a RINO who has previously rigged GOP caucuses and conventions on behalf of the Establishment.

Action 4 Liberty highlighted this bill and Sen. Wesenberg’s press release in previous reporting. Charlie Kirk was scheduled to visit the U of M just 12 days after he was tragically assassinated, leaving behind his wife and two young children. Kirk will be remembered as a devout Christian and a free speech champion who challenged the status quo of woke liberalism on college campuses.

A4L has created a petition in support of this legislation and are demanding all legislators pass it at their next convening. Sign petition here:

Everyone, especially the evil in society who are openly celebrating, must be reminded that open debate is how to handle political conflict among citizens, not violence and bloody murder. Free speech is a critical principle that we cannot abandon. Those that want to silence, imprison, and kill political opponents for simply expressing their views are the real authoritarians and fascists.

An interesting detail about this legislation is that the funding for the statue would come from Minnesota’s Legacy Amendment which has been used to fund all kinds of Somali services, lgbtq+ causes, and even openly demonic events. Minnesota taxpayers have been forced to fund a “demon summoning” event through this fund. 

The Legacy Amendment was a ballot measure that increased the sales tax by 1% and required the funds be spent on environmental, cultural, or arts causes. A little more than half of Minnesota voters passed this measure in 2008 and Constitutionally mandated this spending. Since this is required spending that will otherwise fund leftist causes, a statue of Charlie Kirk at an institution that Kirk was soon going to visit is as just a cause as any and it certainly promotes a better narrative than the “demon summoning” event your taxes would otherwise fund through the Legacy Amendment.

The leftist death cult cannot be treated as a co-equal. All who have celebrated Kirk’s death likely have violent tendencies themselves and may not be trustworthy enough to live freely in a civil society. Some on the left even have the audacity to suggest that a right winger killed Charlie Kirk when it is known that the shooter had a transgender boyfriend and called Kirk a “fascist” (used as an attack by liberals ad-nauseam despite fascism being a socialist, anti-free speech ideology). Liberals need to accept the reality of their words leading to a riled-up liberal base that is seething and celebrating murder.

Action 4 Liberty understands the magnitude of this moment and sees it as a Turning Point for our nation. To meet the moment, legislators must pass the Sen. Wesenberg/Rep. Ben Davis legislation. Sign the A4L petition here and contact your legislators here. We cannot back down as the Left calls for our heads, we must stand up proud and double-down in the fight for liberty.

On Saturday, Sept. 13th, Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth addressed the MNGOP State Central Committee and railed against gun control. Demuth told delegates, alternates, and attendees of the meeting that more gun control will not work and it will not keep kids safe.

This message was appreciated by grassroots, conservative delegates who fear RINO politicians may cave on gun control in a special session. It appears Tim Walz is waiting for the Sept. 16th special election in 34B (Melissa Hortman’s previous seat). Since 34B is a reliably Democrat seat, this will likely bring the House back to a 67-67 tie. Walz has vowed to have a special session “one way or another”.

Law abiding citizens should not be punished for unhinged individuals committing acts of violence. Criminals do not follow the law as is. They will not follow gun control laws while law abiding citizens would. The 2nd Amendment is clear, the right to keep and bear are shall not be infringed.

Tyrant Tim’s proposals include a ban on so-called assault weapons, banning high-capacity magazines, gun storage regulations, making red flag laws even stricter, and forcing gun owners to buy liability insurance. None of the mentioned policies would have prevented any of the recent shooting tragedies and for that reason the GOP cannot cave an inch on gun control. The assassination of Charlie Kirk taught Patriots that we need to be MORE secure, not LESS secure.

With Lisa Demuth controlling the gavel as Speaker, it will be her responsibility to block gun control from even reaching the floor. This is a moment where Republican leadership is desperately needed and as the Republican leader of the House, Lisa Demuth, must keep every single GOP Representative in line or the radical Democrats will succeed in their unconstitutional, anti-American gun control agenda. As we’ve seen in the Walker Anderson case, radical leftist prosecutors and AG Keith Ellison abuse and misapply gun laws as is. We do not need to give big government, anti-freedom, leftist prosecutors more power to destroy good people’s lives.

Rumor has it that Lisa Demuth is floating a Governor run and may be making an announcement in the near future on this topic. If she wants to have any chance at being the Republican nominee, it will be paramount that she block radical Democrat gun control. However, many conservatives may have already ruled her out due to her voting recording including funding abortion/Planned Parenthood, voting for the $700M debt bill, giving Keith Ellison’s office a budget increase, funding a LGBTQIA+ council with millions of tax dollars, and voting for every single corrupt, unconstitutional omnibus bill contributing to the 2nd largest budget in Minnesota history. However, many of those votes and positions would not make her uniquely liberal in the current field of GOP Governor candidates (Kristin Robbins, Scott Jensen, and Kendall Qualls for a few examples).

While Demuth has fallen short from a true hardline conservative record in office, she can step up to the plate and deliver for conservatives by holding up Walz’ gun grabbing agenda. Conservatives may have reason to question Demuth’s strong rhetoric at the MNGOP State Central meeting because she and other legislative leaders were reportedly optimistic on reaching a “public safety deal” for a special session but she also “doesn’t think” the votes are there for gun control. We should KNOW that Republicans won't cave on gun control, not just think that is what will happen.

Republicans don’t have a single vote to spare in the House so this special session will be a real test of Demuth’s leadership. The state Senate, which currently has two vacancies (one blue seat, one red seat) and those vacancies will not be filled until November. Legislation requires 34 votes in the Senate which means at least one Republican would also have to side with Democrats for gun control to pass. GOP Senate leader Mark Johnson must have all GOP Senators opposing leftist gun control.

Conservatives must ensure that Demuth keeps true to her word at the State Central Committee convention and does not cave on gun control. A4L will keep a close eye on a potential special session and keep Patriots in the know. Our Constitutional Rights are non-negotiable and we cannot cave an inch to the radical left when they’ve shown their cards and want us dead.

“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence. That’s when civil war happens, because you start to think the other side is so evil and they lose their humanity.” - Charlie Kirk

The assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University has sent shock waves throughout our country as a deadly reminder of the danger in being an outspoken conservative. The left was unable to defeat Kirk and his ideas through debate so they took his life. The evil we are witnessing must not be compromised with, conservatives must hold their ground now more than ever. This is a "turning point" that our nation will never forget.

While some on the left have shown class by condemning political violence, the loudest liberal voices are celebrating Kirk’s murder. The mainstream liberal media attacked Kirk as a racist and couldn’t hide their hatred of him even for a second. In Minnesota, the Star Tribune’s Deena Winter wasted no time to hurl insults at Kirk following his assassination. What the tragic events have shown is that an evil, demonic spirit has captured the minds of leftists who justify or celebrate Kirk’s assassination.

Minnesota has faced recent tragedies like the transgender maniac who killed two children at the Catholic school and the crazed lunatic that assassinated former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog and attempted to assassinate Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Though Hortman was a political opponent to the right, there was nobody who celebrated her death. While the right asked many questions about the Hortman assassin, some over-assumptively or with incorrect information, it was in the spirit of getting to the truth of the matter and there was nobody rationalizing the shooter's evil actions like we currently see many on the left do in the case of Charlie Kirk. When the shoe is on the other foot, conservative showed class. We see too often that the left celebrates the murder of an outspoken conservative simply for debating his values.

Tragedy should bring unity, not division. The loss of Charlie Kirk requires the message be sent to college campuses that free speech and open dialogue must be protected and that violence is not the answer. Senator Nathan Wesenberg announced Saturday, Sept. 13th that he is doing just that.

Sen. Wesenberg released a press release stating that he will introduce legislation to dedicate funds from Minnesota’s Legacy Amendment to commission a statue of Charlie Kirk at the University of Minnesota to commemorate Kirk and his legacy of fighting for free speech on college campuses. If called to a special session, Wesenberg will push this legislation to be passed immediately. In the press release, Sen. Wesenberg states Rep. Ben Davis will carry the legislation in the House. See full press release below:

As seen above, the funding for this project will come from Minnesota's Legacy Amendment which has funded all kinds of Somali services, lgbtq+, and even openly demonic events. With this in mind and the understanding that this money will be spent no matter what, this money is better served to honor a free speech warrior than the wasteful and evil spending that this fund has been used for.

All state legislators must stand up to this unjust assassination by passing Wesenberg’s legislation at their next convening. Sign the A4L petition to demand your state legislators sign on, click link in image below:
