A controversial, anti-grassroots petition is circulating within Minnesota’s Congressional District 7 Republican Party demanding the removal of duly elected Chair Bret Bussman. The effort, backed by a small but vocal faction of RINOs has sparked outrage among grassroots conservatives who see it as an attack on election integrity within their own ranks. Liberty-minded Republicans are rallying to defend the will of the delegates who elected Bussman.

The petition comes just months after Bussman courageously opened CD7 executive committee meetings to the public – a move that increased transparency and drew large crowds of engaged activists. Rather than working through proper channels, the RINOs are attempting an end-run to oust a chairman they personally dislike.

State Representatives Jeff Backer (9A) and Tom Murphy (9B) issued a statement condemning the removal effort, declaring that “our personal preferences and perceptions may not override the will of the people, whether it be at the ballot box or in the midst of a back-room discussion.” They praised Bussman for increasing openness and warned that removing an elected chair without serious, lawful cause sets a dangerous precedent for the party that is supposed to be representative of integrity and transparency. While the statement is lacking in some areas, it is head and shoulders better than the RINOs like Michelle Fischbach pretending she doesn’t know what is going on. See statement below:

The coup against Bret Bussman reveals the same establishment tactics that conservatives fight against in general elections are now being used inside the MNGOP: silence dissent, punish transparency, and override voters when they elect the “wrong” leaders. True Republicans believe in clean elections at every level, including party offices.

The CD7 executive committee can still do the right thing and reject the removal petition to stand with the delegates that elected Bret Bussman. Anything less proves the establishment fears grassroots conservatives having power more than they fear losing to Democrats. The liberty wing of the party is watching and will not tolerate backroom coups against the conservatives they elected.

Minnesota has become a national laughing stock due to incompetent and corrupt politicians wasting away your tax dollars on various fraud schemes. There is a notable, obvious presence of Somalis that fraudulently received MN tax dollars that have been shuffled to Muslim terrorist group Al-Shabaab. The influx of Somalis that refuse to assimilate to the American way of life is clearly the fault of Democrats, but we can also look to CD6 GOP Congressman, Globalist RINO Tom Emmer, for teaming up with Keith Ellison to put Somalis on the fast-track to take over Minnesota!

You read that right, in 2015 Tom Emmer partnered with radical Socialist Keith Ellison for a program to send U.S. dollars to Somalia! It is clear, Emmer and Ellison are political ALLIES, not ENEMIES on Somali migration! MN tax dollars were funneled to Somali Muslim terrorist group Al-Shabaab due in part to Emmer and Ellison's program!

While Barack Hussein Obama brought thousands upon thousands of Somalis into Minnesota (specifically Ellison's and Emmer's districts), Emmer was not fighting back. He was working WITH the corrupt Democrats to prioritize Somalians over born-and-raised Americans! This is part of the reason why the leftist Star Tribune previously endorsed Emmer!

This story goes even further because when both Emmer and Ellison served in Congress, they created a Somali Caucus! Emmer has spent his career helping Somalians invade our country and state, not fighting for YOUR liberties!

In 2017, Tom Emmer even teamed up with Democrat U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar to demand we give welfare to America-hating, corrupt countries including Somalia! Maybe that explains why Emmer never endorsed Royce White when White opposed Klobuchar in 2024.

Those interested in further reading can see that Alpha News had called out the nonsense Emmer was pushing with Ellison at the time.

Since President Trump’s epic return to the White House, Emmer has completely reinvented himself by pretending like he is America First all the way! As seen in a recent Fox Business interview, Emmer is making it out like he is fighting back against the Somali fraud! What a joke!

President Trump is taking away the temporary status for many Somalis in MN, showing that MAGA now has to clean up Tom Emmer’s mess!

Emmer does have a Republican opponent named Mike Foley who was recently interviewed on the Truth Hurts Show. Unfortunately for conservatives, Foley may be just as soft as Emmer on Somalis and the fraud they are causing!

Action 4 Liberty remains the consistent conservative voice in MN fighting for liberty. A4L has never shied away from exposing the truth about the corrupt politicians and will not cave when it comes to our hard-earned tax dollars being wasted on fraudulent endeavors. Grassroots Republicans in MN must reassess who is actually fighting for their interests because you cannot trust the soundbites Uniparty politicians feed you.

Minnesota’s seventh U.S. Congressional district contains the reddest, pro-liberty, and anti-establishment constituency in the state but they remain represented by RINO career politician Michelle Fischbach. After years of having a paid Fischbach staffer in Craig Bishop be the CD7 GOP Chair, the grassroots finally had enough and elected conservative Bret Bussman to the position in March 2025.

The RINOs could not beat Bussman fair and square so they are staging a coup on him! Despite Fischbach playing dumb, sources tell A4L that establishment puppet Noran Dillon allegedly told a CD7 Vice Chair that Fischbach doesn’t believe the officer elections were legitimate. Fischbach is doing all she can to undermine HER OWN Republican constituents and stage a coup against Bussman.

About eight months later, the Michelle Fischbach puppets have exhausted all their options in making Bussman’s job a living Hell. Bussman has persevered and refused to forsake his conservative principles. Bussman has made it clear that he intends to live up to the obligation of the two-year term of CD7 Chair despite the nastiness he faces from Fischbach’s puppets. Despite Bussman’s positive attitude and unification attempts, the RINOs will be voting to remove Bussman tomorrow (December 11th).

If anyone in the MNGOP has been through the ringer, it has been Bret Bussman! See just a few of the ways the RINO Establishment has fought him tooth and nail:

1. Bussman was the endorsed GOP candidate for State Senate but then-MNGOP Chair David Hann unjustly revoked Bussman’s data access
2. Bussman ran for MNGOP Chair and Hann’s puppet Aaron Farris leaked Bussman’s interview online
3. Bussman was a few votes behind in the MNGOP Chair race so he endorsed fellow veteran Alex Plechash (delivering the votes Plechash needed to win) only for Plechash to backstab him in the current CD7 Chair situation
4. Upon becoming CD7 GOP Chair, the lamestream media did a smear-job against him
5. Bussman has had a to work with a RINO Establishment super-majority on the CD7 Executive Committee like rejecting well-qualified CD7 Treasurer nominations Bussman made

Some must be thinking that Bussman is doing something to cause this, but the truth is that a pro-grassroots Patriot threatens their control of the GOP. The Establishment seems to fear that Bussman would hold a fair endorsing convention in CD7 as opposed to just handing Fischbach the endorsement undeservingly.

Bussman is NOT a carbon copy of Action 4 Liberty. Bussman’s friendly style and tactics are unique to him as he does not engage in the same pull-no-punches attitude of A4L. He has even gone out of his way to defend Fischbach to counter-act A4L exposing how she was blocking the release of the Epstein Files, though Bussman also wanting the information released.

Bussman recently appeared on the Truth Hurts Show with former A4L President Jake Duesenberg to discuss the coup against him. In the episode, among other things, Minnesotans learned that Fischbach has not talked with Bussman since he had been elected CD7 Chair! Why has Fischbach kept him in the dark as her allies undermine his every move? Click HERE to see the full interview or click below:

While others have stayed silent, A4L has kept Patriots informed on the RINOs who are seeking to oust Bussman. From our initial reporting when we learned about the coup to our reporting highlighting that Bussman will not quit to our reporting where we show the bogus removal papers, A4L has been the ONLY organization in Minnesota to consistently expose the truth.

The bogus Bussman impeachment documents are perhaps on the same level of ridiculousness as the impeachment efforts against President Trump! Both Trump and Bussman's impeachment efforts are desperate, nit-picky attempts to undermine the votes of the Republican base!

To make matters worse, the CD7 Constitution requires anti-grassroots, anti-Otter Tail, crooked Tiffany Liemeister take over the CD7 Chair position if Bussman is removed. According to local sources, Tiffany has been the root of the divisive, childish, and underhanded tactics against Bussman. 

As mentioned, Bussman is working with limited allies on the CD7 Exec. Committee. These individuals will be the deciders on the his removal. See members of the committee below:

Patriots in CD7 will want to remember the names of the RINOs who undermine the delegate’s vote. Additionally, Patriots will not want to forget that it was Matthew Franzese (Traverse Co. Attorney), Jilann Axt, Gregg Kulberg, Daryl Thurn, and Lisa Murphy who started the coup against Bret!

Bussman has responded to the removal document in detail. For the purposes of transparency, readers can view Bussman’s entire response below:

Action 4 Liberty will continue to be the unwavering voice for truth, liberty, and conservative principles. The RINOs choosing to oust Bussman are the very reason the MNGOP loses election cycle after election cycle. If you push out the MAGA, pro-grassroots base that the GOP is supposed to be representing, those Patriots will not show up to vote. The ball is in CD7’s court, there is still time for the Exec. Committee to see the light and give up their childish games against Bussman. A4L will be here to report the latest to Minnesotans.

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has caused a political earthquake in Minnesota by filing paperwork to enter the Governor race to oppose Tim Walz. Tampon Tim is as vulnerable as he has ever been and grassroots conservatives have become energized by a Lindell candidacy. Despite the GOP Governor field being quite large, many of the candidates fail to live up to the America First standards that Republican voters are expecting.

As seen in previous A4L reporting, Lindell has catapulted his way into becoming a frontrunner in the GOP field and is throwing a wrench in standard Republican politics. Lindell is unafraid to speak his mind and will call things as he sees it. As a hardcore election integrity activist, Lindell has made himself an opponent to corrupt Democrats and the RINOs who do not want secure elections.

As an America First bomb-thrower, grassroots Patriots are anxiously anticipating what kind of campaign Lindell will run and what issues he will focus on.

Conservatives may have a lot to be optimistic about after seeing Lindell interviewed by the legendary Alex Jones on Infowars! See interview HERE or click below:

In the above interview, Lindell pulls no punches on the Somali fraud overseen by Tim Walz and even says that Walz belongs in prison! That is very different from some of the other Republican candidates, like Speaker Lisa Demuth, who negotiated the 2nd LARGEST budget in MN history with Tim Walz behind closed doors or Scott Jensen who is sucking up to the Somali community that will never vote for him!

Lindell also didn’t hold back when exposing the corruption of AG Keith Ellison. Alex Jones made the excellent point that Ellison has done everything he can to shut down My Pillow (real business, real employees) while turning a blind eye to the massive fraud he has allowed! Lindell argues that the Feeding Our Future and other Somali fraud operations have gone unchecked by Ellison because they’ve been donating to his and Walz' campaigns!

A candidate who is willing to appear on Infowars and has the blessing of Alex Jones in their political bid shows just how far the America First, MAGA movement has shifted the overton window. America First Infowarrior Minnesotans don't care what the dishonest Left will label them, they are standing for truth and will not concede an inch! While the Left calls Jones a conspiracy theorist, he seemed to be right far more often than he is wrong! Who can forget when he put a smug lawyer in his place on the Globalist Elitist pedophile rings?!? See below:

Lindell has earned the endorsement of 2024 GOP U.S. Senate nominee Royce White, who Lindell had endorsed in 2024. See below:

The candidacy of Mike Lindell seems to provide a stark contrast to a field that largely consists of RINO politicians climbing the political ladder. Action 4 Liberty will continue to provide Patriots with the latest news and will never waiver in our fight to protect liberty for the next generation.

President Trump’s former White House Press Secretary and White House Communications Director, Sean Spicer, just dropped a hammer on the RINOs who vote for tax dollars to fund abortion and Planned Parenthood on a recent episode of The Huddle. He says "If you are a Republican and you're not willing to fight to say taxpayer funding for abortion should be outlawed, then hang it up brother. Put your cleats in the closet and go away." See video below:

Of course, what Sean Spicer is saying seems obvious to conservatives. The Republican position among the MAGA base is clear and consistent throughout all 50 states: Republican voters are opposed to abortion and Planned Parenthood receiving their tax dollars.

This is a lesson that Minnesota RINOs need to learn! 

Sean Spicer likely would be impressed with Sen. Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) who forced a vote on the State Senate floor to defund abortion!

As seen in previous A4L reporting, even fake pro-life groups like the MCCL cover up the truth! The MCCL, run by RINO Michelle Fischbach’s husband, plays cover for the RINOs who spend your tax dollars funding abortion rather than telling pro-life Minnesotans the truth! According to Sen. Nathan Wesenberg, a MCCL lobbyist even tried to get him NOT to introduce an amendment defunding abortion! You can't make this stuff up!

Democrats and RINOs alike vote year after year for the unconstitutional, multi-subject, Health omnibus bill. Included in these budget bills is funding for Planned Parenthood and abortion through several methods. One of which is through Medical Assistance program paying for abortions while other abortion money could come from the “Sexual and Reproductive Health Services Grant Program”, “Family Planning Awards”, or the “Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program”.

In 2025, the abortion omnibus bill was voted on twice because it did not pass on time during the regular session. As seen in previous A4L reporting, the first vote (HF2435) had 29 RINOs vote for it which included: Reps. Keith Allen (19A), Paul Anderson (12A), Jeff Backer (9A), Dave Baker (16B), Greg Davids (26B), Lisa Demuth (13A), Mary Franson (12B), Steve Gander (1B), Josh Heintzeman (6B), Spencer Igo (7A), Wayne Johnson (41A), Ron Kresha (10A), Andrew Myers (45A), Danny Nadeau (34A), Nathan Nelson (11B), Harry Niska (31A), Tim O'Driscoll (13B), Bernie Perryman (14A), Aaron Repinski (26A), Kristin Robbins (37A), Joe Schomacker (21A), Tom Sexton (19B), Roger Skraba (3A), Chris Swedzinski (15A), Paul Torkelson (15B), Cal Warwas (7B), Nolan West (32A), Jeff Witte (57B), and Natalie Zeleznikar (3B). 

As seen in previous A4L reporting, the second vote (HF2) for the abortion omnibus bill had 22 RINOs (number reduced due to A4L and grassroots pressure) vote for it which included Paul Anderson (12A), Dave Baker (16B), Greg Davids (26B), Lisa Demuth (13A), Josh Heintzeman (6B), Spencer Igo (7A), Ron Kresha (10A), Andrew Myers (45A), Danny Nadeau (34A), Jim Nash (48A), Harry Niska (31A), Aaron Repinski (26A), Joe Schomacker (21A), Erica Schwartz (18A), Peggy Scott (31B), Tom Sexton (19B), Roger Skraba (3A), Terry Stier (22B), Paul Torkelson (15B), Cal Warwas (7B), Nolan West (32A), and Natalie Zeleznikar (3B).

On page 3 of the MNGOP Platform, the official stance of the party on the issue of abortion includes, among other things, no taxpayer funding of abortion or Planned Parenthood. See below:

Lisa Demuth now wants to run for Governor after, as Speaker of the MN House, supporting every single omnibus budget bill that contributed to the 2nd LARGEST budget in Minnesota history. That of course includes the abortion omnibus bill! Why would conservatives give Demuth a promotion when she failed to fight for conservative values as Speaker?!?

Pro-life voters may also choose to steer away from 2022 GOP nominee Dr. Scott Jensen, who wrote a Star Tribune op-ed that said he wouldn’t and couldn’t do anything on abortion. Jensen also previously interned at Planned Parenthood, voted to spend tax dollars funding abortion in the State Senate, verbally attacked a Republican Senator for holding conservative positions, and even called abortion a “Constitutional Right” in a campaign commercial.

Action 4 Liberty will continue being the microphone of grassroots conservatives in Minnesota with ground-breaking, hardcore, liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. The RINOs who spend your tax dollars on abortion are working against Action 4 Liberty’s mission of protecting liberty for the next generation. Former Trump Press Sec. Sean Spicer speaks for a lot of conservatives when he says that abortion funding MUST be a line in the sand by Republicans.

The misrepresentation of Minnesota’s budget estimates are designed by the Establishment to keep as much of your hard earned dollars as they can. The lies are to be expected from the fraud-loving Democrats but many elected Republicans have conceded the narrative too!

As seen in previous A4L reporting, Minnesota has an over $6.2B SURPLUS that should be completely returned to taxpayers. If done, each taxpayer would receive about $2,500 right in time for the Christmas season!

Democrats and RINOs alike are instead arguing that Minnesota will have a future deficit, though that is just a projection! Right now the state has over $6.2B that taxpayers were overtaxed. 

In one way or another, the following RINO politicians have conceded critical arguments on the surplus in legislative update emails released today (Friday, December 5th): Pam Altendorf (20A), Peggy Bennett (23A), John Burkel (1A), Marj Fogleman (21B), Mary Franson (12B), Steven Jacob (20B), Peggy Scott (31B), and Tom Sexton (19B). GOP floor leader Harry Niska (31A) also sent a legislative update email on the issue on Thursday, December 4th. Fogleman even argued in her email that it is GOOD that the legislature “won’t be forced to cut spending” but then says they need to keep finding ways to cut spending. See below:

If these RINO Reps are incapable of properly analyzing budget data, they should leave it to A4L and others who actually know what we are looking at! Pretending like they had nothing to do with increased spending is a total joke!

In legislative update emails from the RINOs, they would have you believe the surplus is just $2.4B because they want to take billions from the surplus to put in the useless rainy day fund. The rainy day fund should not exist at all since it was not even necessary during Covid, proving it is obsolete.

The RINOs are also pushing the narrative that the out of control spending is only the fault of the Democrats! RINO State Rep. John Burkel even tries to argue that the mess MN is in is only due to the previous Democrat legislature and that the current legislature is not at fault. What a joke! Even more ironically, House Speaker and Governor candidate Lisa Demuth admits that there is a spending problem. See below:

Did Lisa Demuth forget that she negotiated (behind closed doors with Walz) and passed the 2nd largest budget in MN history or is she just trying to fool voters!?! We think the answer is pretty clear.

As seen in the 2025 A4L legislative scorecard, many Republicans joined Democrats in passing unconstitutional, multi-subject omnibus budget bills. While proper oversight of these funds was not done by Walz, it is the fault of both RINOs and Dems for giving him the money to waste in the first place!

RINO State Rep. Tom Sexton even argues in his email that he wishes he could give back the surplus but can’t due to future projections. That is a TOTAL LIE! Sexton should leave his wishes at the door and start taking action to return the surplus! See below:

Following this articles publishing, RINOs Ben Bakeberg (54B) and Scott Van Binsbergen (16A) have also sent emails that misrepresent the truth about the surplus that taxpayers are owed.

Action 4 Liberty will continue exposing the truth and fighting for the taxpayers interests. Our bloated government has become a national embarrassment and it is thanks to Uniparty. If the RINOs directed their efforts toward returning the entire surplus instead of misrepresenting budget data, conservatives (and all Minnesotans) would benefit. A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

Leave it to corrupt politicians and the lamestream, fake news media to spin state budget estimates to fit their narrative. While the Establishment would try to have you believe that Minnesota has a budget deficit, this is fabricated and untrue. In fact, Minnesota not only does not have a deficit but there is actually a SURPLUS that should be immediately returned to taxpayers.

A new estimate of the state budget was released by Minnesota Management and Budget which can appear confusing if you are unsure what you are looking at. This lists out current estimates for the previous, current, and future biennium budgets. The 24-25 budget was passed in 2023, the 26-27 budget was passed in 2025, and the 28-29 budget will be passed in 2027. This budget information has also detailed by former A4L President Jake Duesenberg on X.

See current state budget estimates below:

As seen above in the “Balance before Reserves” section, there is an over $6.2B surplus listed for 26-27! That money should ALL go right back to the taxpayers! If the state did so, taxpayers would receive around $2,500 each! That would be nice to have during the Christmas season! See below:

Beneath that section is the “Budget Reserve” section which seeks to take $3.4B of the $6.2B and put it in a rainy day fund. Here’s the problem with that: The rainy day fund wasn’t necessary or used during Covid, proving it is instead a tool for the government to keep more of your hard earned money. If we didn't need it under Covid, it is clear that the fund is obsolete. See below:

Many are wondering: How are politicians and the media claiming that there is a deficit if there is a surplus? Here’s how: They are interpreting projections as fact for years 28-29. While the Uniparty did spend more than they collected for the current budget, the future spending has not even started yet, it's still about a year and a half out! It may be fair to think that the greedy politicians in the legislature will continue to grow spending but the numbers still remain only a projection. In addition, there is still a projected $811M surplus for 28-29 and the projections bake in $2B in new spending!

Even right leaning outlets like Alpha News have misreported this data to the public. Action 4 Liberty refuses to concede the narrative, we know the government has a surplus of your dollars and you deserve it back! The benefit of the a surplus going on, beyond the economic help for everyday Minnesotans, is that it forces the government to tighten their belt a bit! They have to account for having less money than before which means the politicians would have to finally cut spending!

Let’s not forget, it was Republican leadership that cemented in the bloated $14B in Democrat spending levels that originated from the Democrat trifecta in 2023 and 2024. The GOP continued $14B in Dem spending rather than fighting to reduce the budget back to a roughly $50B (pre-Covid spending levels) like Action 4 Liberty has advocated for. Instead, the RINOs kept MN’s government a corrupt mess that overspends. Republicans could have embraced their party platform and rejected the practice of unconstitutional omnibus bills but Speaker Lisa Demuth chose to continue forward the corrupt status quo by passing the 2nd biggest budget in Minnesota history.

Returning the surplus would cause a massive transfer of wealth from the government coffers to your bank account. The taxpayers deserve their money back and the government needs to drastically shrink.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to be the bulldog for MN taxpayers. While the politicians and media lie to you about our state’s budget, Patriots know that they can always come to A4L for honest, liberty-based, and pro-grassroots reporting. In order to protect liberty for the next generation, we must protect our tax dollars from corrupt politicians! 

In the heart of the Iron Range, the December 2nd Itasca County Commissioner meeting had approximately 150 citizens show up to fight back against the county’s proposed 10% property tax hike. Action 4 Liberty previously reported on the tax increase, put out the call to Patriots, and the grassroots of Itasca delivered!

During the public comment section of the meeting, basically every single person was there to trash that tax hike! It seemed the only people in the room who supported that tax increase were Commissioners Cory Smith, John Johnson, and Casey Venema and the county Auditor/Treasurer Austin Rohling. Smith supporting the tax hike is especially disappointing to Itasca locals since Smith had campaigned on lowering property taxes.

With massive public opposition to the tax increase, especially a huge 10% increase, the Commissioners knew their feet were being held to the fire. While the Commissioners have argued their political independence before, they made it clear that they were blaming the tax increase on Tim Walz and Democrats passing unfunded mandates.

Many of the citizens in Itasca were savvy enough to reject the Commissioner’s excuses. Citizens suggested the county find more to cut in their budget, tap into their budget reserves, and refuse to enforce the liberal unfunded mandates. Commissioners argued that Itasca would be facing major lawsuits and their bond rating (government debt allowance) could weaken if they did that but the Citizens made it clear: THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DEMANDING! NO NEW TAXES!

Several Patriots also questioned the methods for evaluating property values and argued that the arbitrary and inconsistent evaluations made by the county are unacceptable. The citizens know that they are getting ripped off and are tired of it!

See some of the hard-hitting, freedom-loving, truth-telling Itasca citizens straighten their local politicians out below:

As seen in the clip above, an Itasca resident named James asked each of the commissioners if they thought a single citizen in that room wanted the tax hike. Each commissioner had to publicly admit that their constituents don’t want it! Individuals interested in watching the entire meeting can do so here.

Unfortunately, no citizen brought up the fact that several of the commissioners had voted last year to give themselves and several other county officials salary increases. When politicians are telling citizens to bear new costs while giving themselves salary increases, the system is broken.

While there was lots of talk about the legislature, zero members of the legislature appeared to be present at the meeting, including RINO Rep. Spencer Igo who actually lives in Itasca County. Considering that Igo commonly votes for Establishment, unconstitutional, corrupt, multi-subject omnibus bills (as seen in A4L's recent scorecard), it may not be a surprise to Itasca resident that he is not fighting for the taxpayer's interests.

The commissioners realized that all eyes were on them and that citizens were going to go nuts if they voted for the 10% tax hike. Amendments were made to the proposed plan and the tax hike has been dropped down to a 6.71% increase. Smith moved to cut $100K out of the county preservation budget and the county would not enforce road dust control policy (though locals say that this is not a new cut and they didn’t enforce it last summer). Snyder then made a stronger motion to use $1M of their budget reserves.

Many locals were disappointed to see Commissioners Snyder and Hopkins be so quiet during the majority of the meeting. As the only two commissioners who opposed the tax hike in the preliminary vote, the grassroots was hoping the two of them would be ready to rumble.

The county commissioners ultimately tabled the vote to December 16th which puts them right at the end of the deadline to pass their tax hike. This means that the grassroots pressure has worked! Citizen involvement has already brought the tax down by over 3% but the fight is not over!

Patriots in Itasca must stay involved and continue to fight the tax hike at the upcoming December 16th meeting. It is NOT ENOUGH that the tax hike has dropped a little, Itasca residents are already overtaxed and they should not be forced to pay a penny more! The grassroots is building momentum in Itasca County and Action 4 Liberty is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the fed-up taxpayers of our state. 

Patriots statewide can use Itasca taxpayers as a template for grassroots citizen involvement in fighting back against property tax hikes. County commissioners across the state are doing the same kind of tax increases to their citizens that Itasca is. The only way citizens can eliminate big, wasteful government is to fight back!

The Minnesota Governor race just got a whole lot more interesting! The crowded GOP field has yet again expanded with My Pillow CEO, election integrity fighter, and MAGA firebrand Mike Lindell entering the race.

The crowded field proves that Minnesotans are amped up and ready to replace national embarrassment Tampon Tim. With new reports showing that massive fraud took place in MN that funneled tax dollars to Somali Muslim terrorist group Al-Shabaab, Walz is as vulnerable as he’s ever been. From catering to the interests of taxpayer leaching Somalis to his connections with the Communist Chinese Party, it is clear that Walz does not have Minnesota citizens’ best interests at heart.

With Walz reaching record levels of unpopularity as he seeks an unprecedented third term, Minnesota Republicans can defeat him if they can bring out the over 1.5M Minnesotans who voted for President Trump in November. In a non-Presidential election year, turn-out is typically down but the GOP is going to need just about all 1.5M Trump voters to show up to vote in 2026 in order to win.

Mike Lindell has the unique opportunity of being the bridge to connect different factions of the MNGOP. As a friend and loyal ally to President Trump, there is no doubt that Mike Lindell is a hardcore MAGA Republican. In a race filled with crooked RINO politicians, an outsider businessman like Mike Lindell will be seen by many as a breath of fresh air. Since he has an authentic connection to grassroots conservatives, Lindell seems better positioned to motivate America First voters to get to the polls than RINOs like Lisa Demuth, Scott Jensen, or even Chris Madel. If MAGA voters are not represented properly, they won’t show up to vote! That’s what happened in 2022!

While Lindell’s positions on various issues are still up in the air, his endorsements for candidates like President Trump, Royce White, and Doug Wardlow allows Minnesotans to picture Lindell’s governing style.

Lindell won’t be without detractors and mud slung his way. Despite the support Lindell has from the grassroots, there is a contingency of Republicans who do not respect him.

Some worry that Lindell is not electable and would lose to Tim Walz. This is difficult to predict, MN hasn’t seen a candidate like Lindell arguably since Jesse Ventura. Some dismiss Lindell’s election integrity efforts in the Stop the Steal movement as counter-productive and factually flawed but all signs point to Lindell’s motivations being legitimate. Some also disapprove of his handling of the Tina Peters case and argue he may have not had her back all the way. Others may point to Lindell’s temperament with fears that he could fly off the handle.

Lindell clearly has the wherewithal to create and manage a successful large company and has a redemption story to tell. The transition Lindell made from a cocaine addicted party animal to a born again Christian is the very type of redemption, character-building turn-arounds that people love to hear about!

While Lindell has not run for public office before, he did run for Chair of the national Republican Party (RNC) against RINO Ronna Romney McDaniel. Then MN RNC Committeeman, now MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash did not support Lindell’s campaign. Plechash claims he voted for Harmeet Dhillon despite previously endorsing McDaniel and was even being bullied on the phone by her. In short, Lindell likely will not be able to look to failed MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash as a true ally.

According to Lindell’s CFB filing, his campaign is chaired by election integrity activist and former St. Bonifacius Mayor Rick Wieble. See below:

Action 4 Liberty will continue to give Patriots hard-hitting reporting that they cannot find anywhere else. The Governor race will be the premier focus for many Minnesotans in 2026 and Patriots are ready to kick Walz to the curb. A4L will provide Patriots with the latest information and will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

The PPP loan fraud allegations pointed at RINO State Rep. Ron Kresha (10A) has received little media attention outside of Action 4 Liberty. The RINOs wanted to protect one of their own and the Democrats knew that if they took Kresha out, someone more conservative would replace him. Unlike the phonies on both sides of the aisle, A4L is unafraid to expose corruption no matter which party it is coming from.

A4L reported on the qui tam lawsuit filed by respected conservative attorney Nathan Hansen that alleges Kresha improperly took over $300K in tax dollars as part of the PPP loan program. Kresha’s issue, as the chief financial officer of the company, is that independent contractors were listed as employees for the purpose of collecting these PPP loans which is not allowed via Dept. of Treasury guidelines.

Hansen posted on X a document showing that Kresha’s lawyers are now claiming that Kresha cannot be prosecuted on the fraud allegations because it had been reported in the media (by Action 4 Liberty). See below:

As seen above, Kresha’s ridiculous arguments should hold no weight. Anyone could have filed the qui tam lawsuit at any point regardless of A4L reporting, fraud does not become neutralized through public reporting. 

While some RINOs like Mary Franson, Walter Hudson, and Isaac Schultz have done all that they can to cover for Kresha, the walls are closing in. The PPP loan fraud allegations have even gotten on Tim Walz’ radar, though he didn’t name Kresha likely because he supports legislative Dems protecting him. See here.

Though he'd never admit it, Kresha announced he would not seek reelection because of the mounting pressure surrounding the allegations. Kresha’s Senator, Nathan Wesenberg, has even posted a press release on the MN Republican State Senate website calling on Kresha to resign from office. See here.
