The RINO Legislators that Might Cave on Gun Control

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:

MNGOP State Central Votes to Support Bill for Charlie Kirk Statue at U of M

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.
Lisa Demuth Trashes Gun Control; Must Keep Word in Special Session

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.
Sen. Wesenberg Introduces Bill to Commission Charlie Kirk Statue for U of M Campus

“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:
Swing District Dems Hide From Their Omar Fateh Endorsement

Swing district Democrats love to pose as “blue dog” moderates for all of its political advantages while simultaneously being a far-left partisan leftist on every important issue. Of course, the “blue dog”, Jim Webb wannabe, moderate image falls apart when swing district Democrats show zero independence by voting in partisan lockstep on radical, far-left policies (as seen time and time again in the MN Legislature). Some have shown their true colors with endorsements for Socialist Muslim Omar Fateh for Mayor of Minneapolis but are hiding this from their constituents by not talking about it publicly!
Democrats Aric Putnam (SD14) and Judy Seeberger (SD41) have endorsed their colleague, Omar Fateh, for Mayor of Minnesota’s most populated city as he pushes an agenda including defunding the police, raising taxes, an illegal alien sanctuary city policy/would not cooperate with I.C.E., letting drug-addicted homeless people to infect the streets, over-run industries and replace with government monopolies, and Green New Deal nonsense like shutting down HERC while Hennepin County has no landfills. See endorsements below:

Seeberger and Putnam have now publicly put themselves to the left of Ilhan Omar, shaky Amy Klobuchar, Tampon Tim Walz, and ANTIFA Keith Ellison! Walz and Klobuchar have both endorsed incumbent Jacob Frey while Ilhan and Ellison have remained silent and not returned the favor of Fateh endorsing them (like Ilhan’s 2024 primary and Ellison’s 2022 reelection).
Fateh is obviously proud to have these endorsements as they allow him to appear reasonable and respected by swing districts. In reality, they are giving cover for a Socialist who would destroy Minneapolis and hates white people! One would think that Senators like Seeberger and Putnam would want their constituents to know when they are endorsing a candidate for a major political office but instead, the two Senators have posted NOTHING on social media to inform their constituents of this endorsement! There would be major concern from swing district voters if they knew their Senator supported the Omar Fateh Islamic Socialist take-over of Minneapolis which is exactly why they are not talking about it on their social media!
Interestingly, Fateh does not list Seeberger’s endorsement on his own website like Putnam and other legislators or elected officials are. Is Fateh not proud of her endorsement? Is this an attempt to cover it up as if it never happened? Unfortunately for Seeberger, Fateh himself posted on X showing her endorsement so there is no running away from it. See below:

Instead of letting her district know about the Fateh endorsement, Seeberger is usually trying to cultivate her fake moderate image by complaining about the bills and process that she votes in lockstep with the Democrats for like begging then MN Dem Chair Ken Martin for more moderate bills to reach the floor (as if she didn’t have the power to bring stand-alone votes to the floor herself). See below:

Seeberger and Putnam are not the only Democrats pushing the illusion of moderate Democrats in office, in fact, it is the very premise of the fake name “Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party”. Speaking things into existence never works if the truth tells us the opposite. Nothing about modern day MN Democrats in office is representative of farmers or laborers, however, Democrats will continue to repeat their talking points using a fake moderate, dishonest political framework until their true colors are exposed. As seen on the national level, Walz' ability to code talk to white guys failed miserably as he and Kamala lost all 7 battleground states and the popular vote.
Keep in mind, incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey is already a big government Socialist demanding gun control who is submissive to Somali Muslims, Fateh is campaigning to the left of him!
Fateh holds the endorsement of 11 state Senators and 3 state Representatives according to his website. Incumbent Jacob Frey’s website lists zero endorsements from the state legislature. Woke Reverend DeWayne Davis' website lists two state House endorsements (Agbaje and Finke) and one state Senator (Doran Clark, who also endorsed Fateh as his first choice). Independent Laverne Turner received Dr. Scott Jensen’s support. No other candidate has published endorsements from current or former MN legislators. Other candidates running can be found in our previous reporting.
Action 4 Liberty will continue to expose the corruption, lies, and hypocrisy of the MN political Establishment by giving voice to the grassroots conservative movement. While Seeberger and Putnam can try to code-switch and change up their BS for whoever they’re talking to, A4L will continue to be a principled voice for truth.
State Auditor Race: White Claw Blaha Out, DWI Dan Wolgamott In

It is crystal clear what Democrats want in a State Auditor: A compromised, partisan leftist who will not speak out against corruption and fraud whether it be blatantly obvious or hidden from the public.
Minnesota citizens may look closer at the State Auditor election than ever after federal prosecutors said fraud may have wasted over $1 Billion worth of tax dollars in Minnesota under Tim Walz/Democrat control.
The State Auditor race is often overlooked with more attention and focus brought to high-profile races like the U.S. Senate, Congress, Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State races. Unfortunately, this has resulted in Minnesota’s “financial watchdog” failing to provide transparent, accountable, and effective government as promised.
The State Auditor’s office has been controlled by Julie Blaha, a partisan Democrat who puts party over truth. Her tenure includes silence as over $1 Billion of tax dollars were wasted on fraud passed by Dems and RINOs in the legislature and overseen by Dem executive officers. When she has intervened, it has more often than not been ‘too little, too late’. From the Feeding Our Future scam to child care fraud to all other corrupt programs that wasted our tax dollars, Julie Blaha could have intervened but was either too incompetent or too compromised to do so.
Blaha has earned the nickname ‘White Claw Blaha’ following herself and then Senate Minority Leader Melissa Lopez Franzen leaving a fundraiser and hitting a semi-truck while Blaha was driving. Upon police arrival, they discovered a “very cold” and “pretty full” White Claw can that Morgan Fire Department Assistant Chief Justin Blomeke suspected was opened when they left the event and maybe had a drink or two out of it.
State Democrat party chair (now DNC Chair) Ken Martin rushed to the scene to label himself the point of contact and telling officers that Lopez Franzen and Blaha were elected officials, as if being in political office excuses their actions. Quite ironic coming from the guy who constantly calls President Trump a convicted felon that he wanted in prison for made up crimes. Blaha was not found to have alcohol in her system but was issued a citation related only to the accident and not the open container of alcohol.
Unfortunately for Minnesota, alcohol-scandal Democrats are drawn to the State Auditor’s office! In what appeared to be coordinated, hours after Blaha announced she would not be seeking reelection, DWI Dan Wolgamott jumped in the race! A4L received word days beforehand that Wolgamott would not be seeking reelection in the St. Cloud swing district race of 14B but figured it would be too ridiculous for Wolgamott to try to be Blaha’s successor, however, the Democrats have outdone themselves again!
Wolgamott is another partisan leftist who doesn’t have an independent bone in his body who would vote with the party on anything meaningful. As the former Speaker pro tempore for the state House, Wolgamott has overseen and supported the worst abuses of the legislative power in the history of our state.
Beyond politics, in 2021 Wolgamott abandoned his car in a stranger’s yard in Golden Valley without the property owner’s consent supposedly due to an “icy road”, however, nobody with common sense would abandon their vehicle in a random yard because they slipped off the road. In 2023, Wolgamott was seen on surveillance video footage chugging vodka in a liquor store parking lot before getting a DWI and being arrested. What is even crazier to believe is that the crony MPPOA (police group) endorsed Wolgamott following the DWI, proving that the group’s leadership is failing to represent rank and file police officer’s interests in their political endorsements. Wolgamott may also get some blowback from the left as a weak candidate, and he hilariously "misgendered" Rep. Alicia Kozlowski (8B) by calling her a "her" instead of a they/them.
Wolgamott appears to be the only Democrat running for State Auditor currently and no Republican has yet announced. In 2022, GOP nominee Ryan Wilson came within 0.34% (8,435 votes) of defeating Julie Blaha with two marijuana political party candidates collecting over 5% of the vote. This race was the most narrowly decided statewide election in Minnesota in 2022. Wolgamott's track record may give Republicans a serious chance at taking this office in 2026.
Wilson is now Chair of the America First Policy Institute Minnesota Chapter where he preemptively ceded the idea of a special session but is directing the legislature not to pass gun control but to use the session to spend money funding religious private schools. A4L similarly rejects the idea of any gun control but instead advises the legislature to pass the Rep. Roach/Sen. Wesenberg bill that removes state law blocking detransition counseling for individuals with gender dysphoria and MAHA related issues surrounding Big Pharma and the mass-prescription of drugs and so-called anti-depressants for kids, teenagers, and adults.
Action 4 Liberty will keep Patriots informed on the State Auditor race as it continues to develop because Democrats have a candidate in Dan Wolgamott who would cover up their corruption through 2030. Grassroots conservatives and Minnesotans statewide are fed up with the corruption and fiscal embarrassment our state has become and A4L will continue to be their microphone.
Minneapolis and State Democrat Parties Feud Over Mayor Race

The electronic voting system used at the Minneapolis Democrat party endorsing convention was so rigged and flawed that state party leadership investigated and nullified the party’s endorsement of Socialist Omar Fateh. Despite this, the Minneapolis Democrat Party is appealing this ruling and demanding Fateh remain the endorsed candidate.
The convention’s flawed voting system allegedly did not count hundreds of participants. Attendees do indicate that the flaws existed throughout the convention but some also say that Frey supporters were directed by the Frey campaign to leave the floor once they realized they did not have the votes to continue. The convention had many Somali Muslims participating and the schedule planned several interrupting Muslim prayer breaks.
Interestingly, the convention required an I.D. in order to attend yet Dems oppose voter I.D. laws to ensure ballot box elections are secure! Fateh argues that Establishment Democrats are against him because he is a true progressive and it appears the Minneapolis Democrat Party stands with him still. The appeal of the endorsement retraction will appear before the Democrat State Executive Committee and it is unclear when or if they will rule on it. What appears most likely is they stand by the previous state party ruling that retracted the endorsement since Walz' people are running the show.
Fateh will always spout the furthest left position he possibly can including making Minneapolis a sanctuary city for illegal aliens, would not cooperate with I.C.E. deportations, would allow drug-addicted homeless to infect the streets, shutting down the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (which produces energy from trash) while Hennepin County has zero landfills, defunding the police, and thinks almost half of 911 calls do not require police officers and could instead have unarmed counselors/social workers deal with the deranged criminals instead! Besides attacking white people in the legislature, Fateh reportedly threatened Democrat leadership that he would vote no on major legislation (alongside Republicans) that would block the budget's passage unless they pass his Socialist takeover of Uber.
On the other hand, Walz-endorsed incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey is a little man who is a puppet for his donors, special interests, and ultra-woke causes. Left wing discontent with Frey largely appears to be his maintenance of the status quo, some squabbles with the Socialists on the city council, his refusal to abolish the Minneapolis PD, and a general desire for change. The growth of Islam and the mass-immigration of Somalis has completely changed what Minnesota is. Unfortunately, Somalis in our state have become best known for participating in and running mass fraud organizations (like Feeding our Future) funded by tax payers given by the Walz Administration.
Despite Frey’s attempts to suck up to the Somali constituency (that often doesn’t speak English), they along with Socialists and Gen Z voting blocks are still favoring Fateh as a Minneapolis Mamdani (Fateh is desperately trying to recreate the TikTok strategy of Mamdani). Minneapolis’ changing demographics point to a shift but political observers largely expect Frey to retain his seat due to the lip service he gives the left. As an example, in a press conference that Frey turned into a gross campaign speech immediately after the recent horrific Catholic school shooting committed by an unhinged transgender, Jacob Frey said “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now”, undermining legitimate ways good people grieve. So Christians will look at the ballot box and see the choice of someone who rejects God and a Muslim, and then they’re told to support the lesser evil. If Frey thinks he has conservative voters locked down he may be in for a surprise.
Beyond Frey and Fateh, there are 13 other candidates running for Mayor. Minneapolis voters will get to rank their top three choices. If a voter’s first choice is eliminated their vote goes towards their second choice and then to their third. The first candidate to receive over 50% of the vote will be declared the winner in the November election. See info on each candidate below:
Democrats
Jacob Frey - Incumbent Mayor
Omar Fateh - Senator, member of the Democratic Socialists of America
DeWayne Davis - Woke Reverend
Jazz Hampton - App developer

A4L encourages voters to research candidates and vote for who they believe will shrink the size and scope of government to protect our God-given liberties.
NOTE - You may notice in this piece and others that A4L refuses to call Democrats by their preferred acronym (DFL) since they are a phony and insulting representative of any value, principle, or position of farmers or laborers. We encourage all to reject the false language and to simply call Democrats what they are. Former MN Dem Chair Ken Martin now runs the DNC who has become one of the least effective or competent national party chairs in history and has proven that there is zero separation in platform from the national party to the state party.
Gun Control Only Happens if Speaker Lisa Demuth and GOP Caves

Minnesota has suffered from two recent, high-profile shooting tragedies. Calls for gun control have emerged since the murder of former Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband with the assassination attempt on Senator John Hoffman and his wife. These calls have since been renewed following the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting, where a transgender maniac killed two young children and seriously injured/hospitalized many more.
During emotional moments of tragedy and heartbreak, anti-gun politicians try to take advantage by infringing on the Rights of law-abiding citizens. Minnesota already has some of the strictest gun control in the nation yet unhinged lunatics showed complete disregard. Criminals do not follow the law as it is and they will not follow any changed law. Gun control did not stop the shootings and more gun control will not change the past. Despite this, unhinged Tim Walz is demanding a special session to attack the 2nd Amendment including an “assault weapons” ban, as if the man who recently wished death upon President Trump cares at all about protecting lives.
With the GOP controlling the state House and Speakership, Walz seemingly faces an immediate blockade against such measures.
The most recent special session used to pass corrupt omnibus bills to finish out the 2nd largest biennial budget in MN history, Walz signed an agreement with House and Senate party leaders laying out the premises and bills to be passed. If a proposed gun control special session were to play out similarly, it would indicate that GOP House Speaker Lisa Demuth would have conceded the fight, even if she herself were to vote no on the proposals on the House floor.
Typical procedure would require legislation to be passed through the House Rules and Legislative Administration Committee in order to receive a floor vote and be designated on the Calendar for the Day. This committee is divided with two Republicans, Harry Niska (31A) and Elliot Engen (36A), and two Democrats, Jamie Long (61B) and Athena Hollins (66B). In a special session, legislative leaders could agree to bypass this and calendar whatever bills they want.
A Declaration of Urgency would seemingly be required to bring legislation forward since it would not meet regular Constitutional procedure of a bill having three readings prior to a floor vote. A Declaration of Urgency requires 90 votes in the House and 45 votes in the Senate.
In whatever procedural style this gun control special session is thrust upon our state, the House GOP remains the only tool to block such efforts. If gun control receives a floor vote in an upcoming special session by means besides Democrats forcing a vote, the responsibility for that would rest on Lisa Demuth’s shoulders. In fact, the GOP agreeing to a special session on gun control at all would be a sign of caving to pressure. Instead, the House GOP must use their leverage to reject any and all gun control.
If a special session were to take place, the priority should be to take on the epidemic of children having over-dependencies on psychoactive pharmaceutical drugs & anti-depressants and removing the ban on conversion counseling for individuals with gender dysphoria (as being pushed by Rep. Drew Roach and Sen. Nathan Wesenberg). Americans elected President Trump in part to combat the big pharma medical establishment with RFK Jr. and the MAHA movement and the displays by the Catholic school shooter shows our state has a major problem with the mental well-being of young people. Meanwhile, President Trump's administration is considering banning transgenders from owning firearms.
Sources at the Capitol tell A4L that they do not anticipate a special session due to several factors including legislators being out of state/the country and the special elections in SD29, HD34B, and SD47 (which is likely to cause another special election in 47A since Democrat Rep. Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger is favored to win). As things stand ahead of the scheduled special elections, the state Senate is a 33-32 Democrat Majority with two vacancies and the House is a 67-66 GOP Majority with one vacancy. HD34B (Melissa Hortman's district) will have their general election on September 16th. It may very well be that Walz waits until this date to bring the House back to a tie to put more pressure on Demuth to pass his agenda.
Action 4 Liberty knows not to underestimate the pig-headed ego of Tim Walz. If he is on his way out the door and not seeking reelection (as sources have told A4L) then he will not care about any political consequences and will play hardball to get Republicans to support his gun control agenda. We may very well see Walz declare a special session on terms that the House GOP cannot accept. In that case, the House GOP must hold the line and not concede an inch to the radical left ideology of Walz.
Unfortunately, the House GOP is already pushing a school safety plan that includes increased penalties for straw purchases and establishes mandatory minimum prison sentences for repeat gun criminals. That gun control would NOT have stopped the recent tragedies! See below:

This may sound mild but remember that radical Socialist Keith Ellison occupies the MN Attorney General office and has supported gun laws be applied illegitimately like in the case of Walker Anderson. Mandatory minimum policies also remove judicial discretion and could be unreasonably applied. In addition, RINO state Reps Andrew Myers (45A), Jeff Witte (57B), and Mark Weins (41A) (who is no longer in the Legislature) voted for a ban on binary triggers and increasing penalties on transferring firearms illegally. The Gun Owners Caucus (which one would think fights gun control) led by Bryan Strawser helps Democrats make gun control amendments and bills, proving that they are not honest actors and cannot be trusted in this fight.
We should also keep in mind that in 2024 every single Republican with exception to Senator Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) voted to increase penalties on firearm straw purchases. The House version (HF548) and the Senate version (SF733) were the exact same and Democrats opposed it because they preferred to push their own gun control. The correct thing to do was to oppose such gun control regardless of who was pushing it and only Sen. Wesenberg stood up for the 2nd Amendment.
Wesenberg also got massive attention on social media following the Catholic school shooting by releasing a statement that spoke to the hearts of where conservatives are at when we see violence committed by mentally deranged individuals. See below:

Speaker Lisa Demuth is being put to the test and she must be willing to fight Walz and reject a special session. The must refuse the terms of any special session designed for gun control. If Democrats can refuse to show up for the opening weeks of the Legislature, the Republicans can seemingly also refuse to show up. Democrats are willing to engage in dirty politics while RINOs concede every issue. Minnesotans cannot suffer from more gun control because of weak Republicans. GOP politicians must be reminded by Patriots that they will suffer political consequences like losing their next primary election if they go along with gun control, not the other way around.
Action 4 Liberty will continue to hold the line and reject gun control scams. The House GOP has the authority and Majority to reject Tim Walz’ attempt to infringe on law-abiding citizens’ 2nd Amendment Right due to the actions of unhinged lunatics. Conservatives are demanding legislative Republicans hold the line and A4L will lead that cause and keep Patriots informed as more information emerges.
Tampon Tim’s Lying History on Display at Minnesota State Fair

When Tampon Tim became Kamala’s VP nominee the rest of the country was able to see exactly what Minnesota has been dealing with; Walz is a pathological liar who will lie or embellish anything if he believes it will help him politically.
Action 4 Liberty continues to chart the course for Patriots who reject the Establishment by calling out our state’s failed Governor at the “great Minnesota get-together” that brought in nearly 2 Million visitors in 2024. we received national and international coverage for our booth last year and expect to make another big impact!
The A4L booth is targeted to expose Tampon Tim’s numerous lies as he considers subjecting Minnesotans to another 4 years of his incompetence. A4L expects to draw major attention with our booth calling out 'Timocchio' and the lying politician that he is! See 2025 booth below:


Our booth is giving away and selling t-shirts, bags, bracelets, and “Walz Lies” fans! See below:


Below you will see a list of Tim Walz’ some of the many lies told by Walz on display at the A4L State Fair booth:
- Falsely claimed to have carried weapons “in war”
- Falsely claimed to be deaf while drunk driving
- Two weeks to flatten the curve
- Tampons in boys bathrooms
- Claims to have retired a Command Sergeant Major
- Claimed Biden was mentally fit for office
- Claimed vaccine mandates/passports did not exist despite them existing in Minneapolis and St. Paul
Some in politics, like Action 4 Liberty, are driven by principles and deeply held convictions. On the other hand, there are swamp creatures like Tim Walz who are willing to do and say anything for power or to feed their ego. Egos and lies are nothing new in politics but Tim Walz takes lying to the next level. Beyond Walz’ far-left politics, he has been branded a liar by the public and that cannot be shaken off. Many Minnesotans say they had no idea how fraudulent and out of touch Tim Walz really is until he was exposed.
As a reminder, Action 4 Liberty was condemned by the MNGOP with lies because we challenge Republicans to adhere to their party platform and fight for smaller government. We stand in a league of our own as opposition to the RINO and Communist Democrat playbook and that threatens the Establishment that many Republican politicians belong to.
Action 4 Liberty will continue leading the MN conservative movement by exposing corrupt politicians, notably Tampon Tim, as the frauds that they are. We look forward to seeing tens of thousands of Patriots connect with A4L and fight to protect liberty for the next generation!
Major Victory: Charges Dropped in Anti-2nd Amendment Case

Too often we see the Judicial system abused by government officials who try to make an honest citizen out to be a criminal who needs jail or prison time. Luckily, a recent Minnesota Supreme Court ruling will protect individuals from certain ridiculous gun charges.
Matthew Walker Anderson was charged at the age of 22 as a felon with an obscure law because he owned two rifles without serial numbers. These firearms never had a serial number and were perfectly legal for him to own in Minnesota yet he has faced years of navigating the obstacle course we call our judicial system.
Anderson was charged under MN Statute 609.667 subd. 3 which reads “(3) receives or possesses a firearm that is not identified by a serial number.”. This Statute then references federal law that does not outlaw and criminalize these guns like prosecutors have been arguing. In short, this was a misapplication of law that leftist prosecutors and judges weaponized against owners of so-called ghost guns.
Since the MN Supreme Court issued their surprise ruling protecting citizens from this law being stretched beyond its written meaning and legislative intent, Anderson’s charges were totally dismissed as a higher court has ruled on the very same subject in another case. See the dismissal below:

As noted in previous A4L reporting, Anderson was charged in Sherburne County, proving that gun rights are not always safe in red counties. Incumbent County Attorney Dawn Nyhus and incumbent Sheriff Joel Brott (who previously spoke out against gun control) supported the charges against Anderson and provided the opportunity and setting for Anderson to have the law weaponized against him. Anderson’s mother has appeared on The Truth Hurts Show to give updates on this case.
Far-left gun grabber politicians like Attorney General ANTIFA Keith Ellison says there is a "gap" in state law (admitting the law was misused) while Sen. Ron Latz (SD46) has told the media that the Supreme Court ruling was a mistake and that he will be fighting to change the law in this regard. State house Republicans, with control of the Speakership, will have to be a blockade against such laws. Patriots will have to remain vigilant since 3 House RINOs voted with Democrats for gun control before and in 2024 every single House and Senate Republican, with exception to Sen. Nathan Wesenberg (SD10), voted for anti-2nd Amendment gun control (House voted on HF548 and Senate voted on SF733).
Action 4 Liberty will never waiver on the 2nd Amendment and celebrates the total dismissal of Walker Anderson’s bogus charges. Patriots must keep up the momentum we see statewide and nationally to push the right-wing cultural movement as far as it can reach. Big government politicians should look to this case as an example to not just put more laws on the books willy-nilly because those laws can be used to destroy good, honest people’s lives.
Congratulations once again to Walker Anderson on the big win! He never conceded and came out victorious!
