GOP state Representatives are complaining about radical leftist Brad Tabke (54A) but when they had a chance to do something about him, all but two Republicans caved to the Democrats.

Republicans have been on the attack against Tabke for voting against an amendment pushed by Rep. Max Rymer (28B) that would have reported a violent illegal alien who murdered a woman in Shakopee (Tabke’s district) to federal ICE officials. A4L is in agreement with the substance of the argument but hypocritical RINOs could have blocked Tabke from being a member of the House rather than depending on his vote! Why complain about a self-imposed problem? Predictably, Tabke has not taken a single floor vote to distinguish himself from his party despite his very purple district.

At the beginning of this year’s legislative session, the GOP could have upheld election integrity and given themselves a majority by refusing to seat Tabke. 21 ballots were trashed in that district and the race was decided by only 15 votes. Democrats understood that Tabke’s removal could be a very real possibility so their entire caucus no-showed the opening weeks of session and held an illegitimate swearing-in ceremony which included Tabke. It was so outrageous that even the RINO-led House Republican Campaign Committee (HRCC) called it fake!

Action 4 Liberty led the way on election integrity and demanded GOP Reps refuse to accept an election certificate when undeniable fraud took place that could have decided the outcome of the election. We reported on the election fraud, how the GOP could revoke the certification, and how this would result in a swing district special election that could give the GOP a true majority. Our presence became so threatening that Tabke even started including our articles in fundraising emails to prove that he may not be seated. 

House Republicans had the golden opportunity to require clean elections and potentially give themselves a true majority but they instead signed onto a crooked deal with Democrats that recognized Democrats’ sham swearing-in ceremony as legitimate, caved to the liberal Supreme Court, required 68 votes for legislation, and seated Brad Tabke. Only Reps Tom Dippel (41B) and Drew Roach (58B) opposed the rules that allowed this to take place. Rymer and others may complain now but they didn't have the guts to take the tough vote. See vote below:

Instead of refusing to seat Tabke, thus opening up a swing district special election, the GOP told conservatives to focus on deep blue house district 40B after Democrat Curtis Johnson lost his seat due to residency violations. Republican Paul Wikstrom ran against Johnson in 2024 and ran again in the special election against radical leftist David Gottfired. Wikstrom went on to lose the special election by over 40 percentage points despite the campaign spending over $115K, which was about 5 percentage points worse than he performed in the 2024 general election. MNGOP party leaders and politicians fed false hope to conservatives and claimed that they could win.

Wikstrom’s campaign did nothing to advance conservative interests, however, it did make now-Senator RINO Keri Heintzeman (SD6) a few thousand bucks. The Establishment says A4L is irrelevant but also expects us to flip a 40 point blue district... Maybe the Establishment just doesn’t like that we use our influence to push truth instead of team red kool-aid! Perhaps Republicans, who haven't won statewide in nearly two decades, should coalesce with the liberty conservative, pro-grassroots block of their party rather than trying to purge it.    

GOP caucus members tell A4L that they now realize how big of a mistake it was to put all their eggs in the heavily democratic 40B race instead of rejecting Tabke's election certificate. Meanwhile, the Dems have shared control of the House and have used that leverage to block the Education appropriations omnibus bill. The GOP could be doing the same thing in the opposite direction! The conservative base is fed up with RINOs who cave to Democrats and pretend they can’t do anything. As much as it pains the GOP politicians to admit, A4L was right all along. 

Republicans have the ability to fight and deliver a budget with pre-covid spending levels but there is no sign that the GOP is willing to fight. With many unconstitutional, multi-subject, big government, liberal omnibus budget and policy bills set to pass with GOP support (like the budget increases for ANTIFA Keith & the LGBTQIA2S+ Council), GOP Reps have shown that they gained absolutely nothing out of seating radical leftist Brad Tabke. A4L will continue to expose the corruption controlling our state and being a bulldog for liberty.

46 RINOs and 67 Democrats in the state House passed the State Government Finance omnibus bill (SF3045). Crooked, uniparty politicians craft these big government bills to hide their corruption. This is a massive, multi-subject, unconstitutional bill that gives funds almost all government operations. Among other garbage proposals, this budget bill increases to ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s budget and gives over $1.2M to the “Council on LGBTQIA2S+ Minnesotans”.

The final vote was 113-21. The debate for this bill and others in the session can be viewed here. See vote below:

Action 4 Liberty reported on the bill previously to highlight the budget increase of Ellison who has weaponized the office and abused tax dollars to sue President Trump on men in women’s sports, fighting Elon Musk’s free speech lawsuit, and birthright citizenship for anchor babies. Since we’ve last reported on this bill, the final version gives Ellison EVEN MORE money totaling over $96M!

The last state govt. budget bill (HF1830) gave the AG office $43,825,000 for 2025 and this budget gives $48,854,000 for 2026 and $48,237,000 for 2027!

An amendment was pushed by Rep. Ben Davis (6A) to reduce the AG office budget down to $46,266,000 for 2026 and $46,075,000 for 2027 and gave $391K to Ellison for Medicaid fraud. This amendment failed 67-67 on party lines. This amendment was not a serious cut to ANTIFA Keith, it still increases Ellison’s budget from the funding he got for 2025! In other words, this was not a cut to Ellison’s previous budget, it grew his budget from this year! It is even worse that this amendment would have given Ellison additional tax money for things he may or may not do. If someone is a known bad actor, do not enable them with more money! Davis made things worse for himself by saying in debate “Don’t buy this narrative that I’m trying to cut the Attorney General’s budget” (see video here). Ultimately, Davis did not vote for the bill which should be commended. See the Amendment below:

This bill also funds numerous ultra woke, leftist causes including the “Council on LGBTQIA2S+ Minnesotans” which will get over $1.2M over the next two years. Members of the council include DWI they/them Brion Curran (36B), Sen. Lindsey Port (SD55), and clowns like this: 

See funding below:

RINO Jim Nash (48A) led this bill through the House as the lone GOP co-author alongside radical left Democrats Ginny Klevorn (42B) and Tou Xiong (SD44). Phony Jim Nash led Republicans in this critical fiscal battle to failure, his input and negotiation skills are pathetic. A real conservative would demand massive cuts across the board or all GOP support would be withheld. The House GOP budget eats into surplus dollars and screws over the taxpayers.

This bill already passed the Senate by a vote of 35-29. See vote below:

Due to an amendment passed in the House, this bill will have to return to the Senate. This amendment allows individuals in the U.S. Military to let another Representative vote on their behalf when deployed. 

This was passed along party lines with only GOP support. It passed in an interesting fashion as presiding officer Bjorn Olson (22A) first took a voice vote (as no roll call vote was requested), then Democrats called division (requiring another vote taken differently) and Olson took a standing vote that did not include Reps not at the capitol and voting remotely (as was done in the previous voice vote and determinative to). This procedural tactic could have been used throughout the day since the GOP had more members present. However, since the bill has to return to the Democrat controlled Senate, the bill could go through more changes. Democrat Ginny Kleovorn (42B) even said in the debate that a legislator “can’t serve two masters” implying that government is her master. Tell us something we don't know about Democrats...

The unconstitutional omnibus bills that the vast majority of Republican Reps carelessly pass right along shows that our government is controlled by a uniparty. The RINOs and Democrats fight around the edges then support the same exact growth of government. Corrupt Republicans pretend to be conservative but at the end of the day, they vote just like Democrats.

The out of control Walz administration will soon be “fully funded”, which really means over-funded and ripe for fraud and abuse. The swamp hates Action 4 Liberty because we represent the true conservative position and refuse to concede. Any proposition for DOGE in Minnesota has been squashed. Grassroots Patriots are fed up with big government Republicans and A4L will continue to shine a light on the corruption controlling our state.

With the GOP and Democrats each holding 67 votes in the evenly split state House, one party can block legislation from passing to strong-arm negotiations. A4L and grassroots conservatives argue that House Republicans should utilize this leverage to block any and all unconstitutional omnibus bills. Unfortunately, RINOs oftentimes love big government as much as the radical left Democrats and they refuse to flex their shared majority.

On the other hand, House Democrats have whipped their votes to prevent the Education appropriation omnibus bill (HF2433) from moving forward. This was seen in the Rules and Legislative Administration committee yesterday (4/30/25). Since the committee is evenly split with 8 members of each party, the bill cannot advance out of the committee without a majority vote and Democrats are refusing to allow that.

One might think that Democrats are upset over something massive, but it is actually a small issue that makes up less than 1% of the total spending package! Democrats’ issue with the bill is concerning summer unemployment benefits for certain school workers, likely due to union boss pressure (who donates big money to Dems). This means that radical left Democrats are perfectly content with the unconstitutional “compromise” omnibus bill aside from this issue! Shouldn’t that concern GOP legislators?

Instead, the GOP is fighting to push this big government, multi-subject, unconstitutional bill through! RINOs like Jim Nash (48A) and Peggy Scott (31B) say they are confused why Dems won’t support the deal anymore and label them as obstructions. Another useless Establishment puppet, Rep. Walter Hudson (30A), has also come to the defense of the big government education bill. Never forget that RINOs gave up serious power and legitimacy when they agreed to seat Democrat Brad Takbe (54A) despite massive election fraud taking place in that district (21 ballots trashed, race decided by 15 votes). 

To make matters even more pathetic for Republicans, they are advocating for a bill that the GOP doesn’t even have an author for! They are pushing a bill that only has Democrat authors!

This bill increases funding for the woke Dept. of Education to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars! In 2023, the Edu. Appropriations bill (HF2497) set funding for the Dept. of Edu. at around $8.09B for 2024 and $8.23B for 2025. This year’s bill increases the funding up to around $8.48B for 2026 and $8.23B for 2027! See figures below:

2023 Bill Funding Numbers

2025 Bill Funding Numbers

RINOs in the state legislature prove time and time again that they do not want to shrink the size and scope of government and are oftentimes working against that interest. The GOP should be taking notes at what the Democrats are doing and employ the same procedural tactics to block wasteful spending in budget bills. Public education has become a breeding ground for leftist propaganda. Instead of fighting for conservative principles, House Republicans have given up and would rather fight on behalf of uniparty omnibus spending bills.

The GOP needs to learn how to hate the players, not the game! Republicans have the leverage to block budget bills and protect taxpayers’ surplus dollars.

This Education bill is set to be brought onto the floor by Republicans on Friday, May 2nd according to committee chair Harry Niska (31A) during the Rules Committee. If this takes place, Democrat leader Melissa Hortman said a “throwdown” would take place on the floor. 

A4L will never back down on our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. The budget bills provide serious opportunity and leverage for House Republicans to shrink the size and scope for government. While RINOs instead defend unconstitutional omnibus bills that violate the MN Constitution and MNGOP Platform, A4L will stay principled, stand alongside grassroots conservatives, and never concede an inch on our freedom and tax dollars.

When a tyrant shuts down our state, forces closures of businesses & churches, locks down its citizens, forces useless masks, and mandates experimental shots on the people, should Republicans try to impeach the tyrant behind it or should they sit back quietly to prevent a tough vote from taking place?

The answer is obvious to A4L and conservatives across our state, you stay principled and fight against tyranny no matter the odds. Unfortunately many RINO cowards within our state legislature do not feel the same way.

Turncoat state Rep. Walter Hudson (30A) was once seen as a hardcore conservative but has since caved to Establishment pressure and has developed one of the worst cases of A4L derangement syndrome (A4LDS) in the legislature. Instead of just defending his own crummy record, Hudson is on the defense for RINOs who refused to get behind an impeachment effort against Tyrant Tim Walz led by then Rep. Erik Mortensen. Mort was joined in support of impeaching Walz by then Reps. Jeremy Munson and Steve Drazkowski. See below:

Fighting for the interests of the grassroots conservative base is virtue signaling and pathetic? If the grassroots had a vote on this issue during Covid, there is no doubt that citizen Patriots would’ve resoundingly voted yes. Voters deserve to know who is fighting for their interests and who is fighting against them. Forcing Democrats and RINOs to be on record on the anti-freedom mandates imposed by Walz paints the picture clear as day. Patriots want to know which legislators are willing to publicly rebuke Walz to the highest degree and which uniparty, power-hungry, relationship-loving, crooked politicians won’t.

If introducing an idea and gathering support is bad unless it is going to pass, why would Walter push any bill when Walz would veto anything remotely conservative? He is the chief author or co-author of 123 bills for just this year however almost all will never receive floor votes nonetheless be signed into law. House Republicans have put up several bills this session knowing that they did not have enough votes to pass it such as RINO Kristin Robbins’ fake Never Again Bill. 

According to Walter’s logic, Republicans should virtue signal in UNISON rather than allowing conservative legislators to force uncomfortable votes that shake out the contenders from the pretenders. Amendments and bills are always offered by minority party members to force issues, what could be more important that fighting the guy locking down our state? Interestingly, the House GOP had enough votes to pass legislation at the beginning of session but stupidly broke precedent and gave Democrats serious leverage following an unconstitutional ruling by the liberal MN Supreme Court (which Hudson caved to immediately). A4L pressure even led to Democrats flipping their votes on Emergency Powers, proving that the impeachment fight was not far-fetched and was certainly on the minds of the GOP base. Also remember that 10 RINOs in the U.S. House and 7 in the U.S. Senate voted to impeach Trump, which shows that politicians bend to political pressure.

In fact, Hudson has even floated the idea of impeaching Walz himself! In January of this year, Walter suggested Walz was on a “glidepath toward impeachment”! Doesn’t Walter know that the Senate is controlled by Democrats and the House is a tie?!? With his logic, why float an idea unless you have a TOTAL Republican Majority? This is all said not to discredit a new impeachment effort against Tyrant Tim Walz! If Hudson took up that mantle and forced a floor vote A4L would see it positively! However, it looks like Walter would only support Walz’ impeachment if it’s HIS idea! See below:

Hudson became fully embraced the Establishment RINOs once he accepted a party job for failed MNGOP chair David Hann. Hudson’s salaried position was lost after A4L supporters and grassroots state central delegates fired Hann as Chair which likely caused his numerous meltdowns and sideways attacks against our organization.

Now that conservatives are aware thanks to A4L exposure that sneaky David Hann paid Kamala supporter Michael Brodkorb tens of thousands of dollars then covered it up, Patriots are rejoicing that A4L led the fight against Hann and his corruption! Hudson’s job at the party likely meant he was privy to the fact that Brodkorb was getting paid, or at the very least, knew who to ask or where to find the truth. Instead of holding the party accountable, Walter was on the take and is STILL trying to deny that Brodkorb was paid! See below:

Hudson is obsessed with Action 4 Liberty and complains about our group just about all day, every day on social media! Despite the obsession, he has turned his arrogance up to an eleven by challenging former A4L President Jake Duesenberg to a debate just to back down and demand months to prepare! What is Walter afraid of? See below:

If people are wondering if elected office can change someone, look no further than Walter! He was friends with Jake, praised our organization, and was the lead author for the Never Again Bill in the House. Now Walter obsesses over Jake and Mort, attacks A4L with lies, wants grassroots A4L supporters purged from the MNGOP, and works against Never Again Bill! 

Power can be addictive and politicians cling onto political control. Hudson believes it is most politically expedient to be a team red cultist who plays cover for the corruption and big government ideology of many within the MNGOP (like Hudson’s defense of the surplus-killing budget). In reality, when Hudson is attacking A4L he is really attacking the tens of thousands of Patriots who support us and our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. A4L will never cower to RINOs and will always stand as an uncompromising stalwart for our God-given liberties.

Otter Tail County (OTC) has been a hotbed for corruption within their local Republican party for years that has targeted, attacked, and disenfranchised their own conservative delegates. Fortunately, grassroots conservatives stayed active in the fight against Establishment RINOS and refused to give up their duly-elected delegate roles. After three long years of Establishment control that refused to hold an open, in person BPOU meeting, things finally changed on Monday (4/28/25).

Action 4 Liberty has always stood with the OTC grassroots and refuses to concede an inch. Our partnership with OTC grassroots Patriots has included training and mobilization so they can overcome the deep state of CD7. Lots of the main leaders within OTC has attended several of our training events and have successfully implemented a new way forward for the local GOP. While two previous meetings took place with the BPOU, one was over zoom and both did not give proper notice to all OTC delegates.

Earlier this year, A4L reported on RINO CD7 Deputy Chair Tiffany Lesmeister-Knott attempted to control the OTC convention by emailing duly-elected delegates and deciding who would be allowed to attend their own convention and who would be banned. This interference was done in part to protect RINO Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach, who couldn’t even win the CD7 endorsement last year despite being the incumbent. The attempted disenfranchisement was properly confronted at the OTC convention and the grassroots elected new individuals to lead the BPOU.

A4L would like to congratulate the hard work conservative residents and activists in OTC which has brought them to a new era of transparency within their BPOU. Each and every BPOU in our state should be under the control and direction of the delegate body, not crony leaders hiding from their delegate body! An incredible amount of effort has been put in by OTC locals and they are finally reaping the rewards of their work. Unfortunately, the ousted RINO leaders have seemingly refused to give up the website and facebook page to new leadership.

The battle between liberty lovers and Establishment RINOs will be forever on-going, especially in OTC, but the BPOU holding their first open meeting in three years is a great sign for things to come! A4L will always stand shoulder to shoulder with the grassroots conservative base and will never tolerate corrupt measures to disenfranchise them. A4L encourages the Patriots of OTC to stay active and continue holding power to account!

Last night (3/24/25) the state Senate voted to pass a liberal, unconstitutional education policy omnibus bill (SF1740). This bill passed by a vote of 39-26. 

Five RINO Senators crossed over, aligned with radical Democrats, and supported this monstrosity: Jim Abeler (SD35), Julia Coleman (SD48), Karin Housely (SD33), Warren Limmer (SD37), and Carla Nelson (SD24). GOP Senator Torrey Westrom (SD12) had an excused absence reportedly due to a death in his family. See vote below:

Like most omnibus bills, SF1740 is unconstitutional in its nature since it covers multiple subjects. Article 4, Section 17 of the MN State Constitution requires every bill be limited to a single topic and have that topic expressly stated in the title. As should seem obvious, an 87 page bill doesn’t fall into that category.

This bill works against the interests of parents who home-school or place their children in charter or private schooling. More regulations and roadblocks are established against educational freedom. This bill also undermines President Trump’s policy of establishing English as our country’s official language via the use of dual language immersion programs (which was added to the bill via radical leftist Sen. Erin Maye Quade and passed by a voice vote). There was also an amendment to prevent boys from playing in girls sports which failed on party lines.

Woke, identity politics can be found in the legislation as new law would require schools to have Indians beating drums at graduation ceremonies if requested! According to Democrats and RINOs, your ethnicity determines if you have an inherent right to beat a drum. What’s next? Will we codify laws to allow the Scotsmen to bring in their bagpipes? See portion of bill below:

One portion of the bill appears to take a page out of HHS Secretary RFK Jr.’s book by banning the use of cell phones and smart watches in classrooms. This topic has widely been debated for years with conflicting viewpoints. At the very least, this policy will serve as a useful experiment by taking destructive, brain-rotting technology out of the hands of children when their priority should be their education. This was an amendment passed with a voice vote. See below:

Unconstitutional omnibus bills are the antithesis of leading a conservative government. Republicans have shared control of the state House and are not required to pass this garbage along! If the GOP holds strong and refuses to pass liberal omnibus bills like SF1740, they can finally utilize their leverage to shrink the size of government and massively cut spending. 

Unfortunately, the GOP is already pushing a budget that totals $66.6B (evil, mark of the beast 666 plan) which spends $300M more than Socialist Tim Walz’ proposed budget! Establishment RINOs love to vote for Uniparty bills that maintain the status quo of growing government. As Neocon Nikki Haley lover Sen. Julia Coleman appears poised to run for the U.S. Senate, she may come to regret her support of this, past, and future support of unconstitutional omnibus bills. Coleman is clearly a double-speaking politician by complaining about the bill in a Senate GOP press release but also voting for it!

A4L will continue to expose RINOs who work with Democrats to grow government and shrink freedom. We will never abandon our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

Trump Administration leader of DOGE Elon Musk has directed his social media company, X Corp., to launch a new lawsuit against ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s AG office over an anti-free speech law that puts MN citizens in prison from creating or sharing political AI memes. This unconstitutional idea was put into law by Democrats and RINOs alike, notably led by unhinged Establishment state Rep. Walter Hudson (30A).

HF1370 was passed in 2023. This bill covered two topics on AI usage, one of which was largely uncontroversial law outlawing the use of deep fake technology for pornagraphic use. The other section attached to this bill was to send Minnesotans to prison for up to FIVE years and/or face a fine of up to $10,000 for creating or sharing AI memes that are intended to “injure a candidate” or “influence the result of an election”. A4L reported on this bill in 2023 and was the only major organization in the state that sounded the alarm. See section of bill below:

This bill started off as a Democrat bill led by radical leftist Zach Stephenson but Establishment puppet Walter Hudson crossed over and added his name as an author on March 9th. Instead of championing A4L’s Never Again Bill like Walter should've done as previous Chief House Author, he instead chose to pick a fight against free speech alongside Democrats. How egotistical and power-hungry are politicians if they cannot handle memes against them??

At one point, Democrats attempted to added more to the bill and Walter removed his name. However, Dems ultimately chose to pass the bill on its own and when that was decided, Walter was back on board!

During debate on this bill on the House floor on 3/30/23 (see video here), Hudson took time to praise Democrat Zach Stephenson for the “proactive” nature of this bill, even stating that this bill showed the “type of thinking that we have to be able to do and willing to do”. He also said that the implementation may be “a little sloppy” but says “That’s okay, we’ll figure it out.” Sounds like some big government, anti-freedom talk! It is clear that Walter’s attempts to calm down any Republican opposition was successful which now allows an out of control, Socialist, anti-freedom AG office to lock up MN citizens for memes.

This bill was passed UNANIMOUSLY by the RINOs and Democrats in the State House and only ONE state Senator had the guts to vote against it, Senator Nathan Wesenberg (SD10). The Uniparty was in action to limit free speech and pathetically protect themselves from memes! 

Elon Musk acquired X, then Twitter, with the goal of creating a free speech social media platform. Despite Hudson’s debilitating addiction to X (where he wastes hours each each), Walter Hudson clearly doesn’t align with the pro-First Amendment attitude of Musk! Along with AI memes leading to prison time, unhinged Walter has called for the MNGOP to purge grassroots A4L supporters from the party and fought to censor the grassroots opponent to Globalist RINO Tom Emmer at the CD6 convention (professional golf caddy Chris Corey).

A4L previously reported that RINO Rep. Mary Franson (12B) previously took on a lawsuit on this issue despite her voting in favor of the bill and her complete silence during the two floor debates on 3/30/23 and 5/16/23. While she has now seen the light, she should have never voted for this unconstitutional garbage in the first place! Interestingly, Ellison’s AI “expert” ended up using phony, pretend citations generated from AI in testimony to the court! The irony of the “expert” falling prey to AI’s dangers while writing to the court about AI dangers was not lost by U.S. District Court Judge Laura M. Provinzino.

Elon’s lawsuit will be much higher profile and could save our state from uniparty tyranny and attacks the law with the 1st and 4th Amendments of the US Bill of Rights. However, Keep in mind that A4L reporting exposed RINO Jim Nash (48A) for pushing to increase ANTIFA Keith’s AG budget right now in the State Govt. Finance and Policy bill (HF2783) by over $3M for this year! Jim Nash and other RINOs who support that bill will be giving Ellison more money to fight free speech and other frivolous cases like his recent anti-gun case that the Supreme Court refused to hear. 

Last year, Democrats added further provisions into this law including that a candidate would be disqualified for office if they broke this law.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to be the bulldog for freedom in our state and we will never concede an inch on our Constitutional, God-given Rights! A4L would much rather defend the free speech rights of MN citizens instead of defending the feelings of insecure tyrant politicians. The next time you see MN RINOs mask themselves with Elon and DOGE, remember that Elon has to spend money suing Keith Ellison thanks to them, especially unhinged Walter Hudson!

A full copy of the lawsuit has been embedded in this Fox 9 article.

Our state is being destroyed by radical left Democrats and weak RINOs are allowing it to happen. Despite the GOP holding an equal number of Representative seats in the state House as the Dems, the GOP has full control over zero major policy or appropriation omnibus bills and the Dems has full control over 8 of the 21 bills!

A full list of the state Senate versions of the 21 omnibus bills can be found here. Budget bills will cover 2026-2027 spending.

While it would be expected that Democrats get control of state Senate authorship for the omnibus spending/policy bills since they hold a majority in that body, it is strange that they additionally have that power in the state House for over a third of the omnibus bills when the House majority is shared by Republicans!

Republican Reps in the House are co-equal to the Democrats but are treated like they are powerless! GOP legislators in a shared majority should have equal access to legislation control (especially with an elected Speaker from your party). Below you will see the eight omnibus bills with no GOP co-author:

HF2440/SF1832: Jobs & Economic Development Policy

HF2443/SF2216: Commerce Policy

HF2433/SF2255: K-12 Education Appropriations

HF1615/SF2370: Cannabis Policy

HF2441/SF2373: Labor Policy and Appropriations

HF2442/SF2393: Energy, Util., Environ., Climate Policy and Appropriations

HF2431/SF2483: Higher Education Policy and Appropriations

HF2435/SF2669: Health & Human Services Policy and Appropriations

HF2595/SF3096: Election Judge Policy

Unfortunately, having a Republican on a policy or appropriations omnibus bill does necessarily not fix the issue either! A bad bill is a bad bill regardless of potential Republican authorship. As we’ve previously reported, RINO Jim Nash (48A) is a co-author for the State and Local Govt. Finance & Policy omnibus bill that increases ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s budget and adds spending for electric vehicle charging stations which will eat into our state’s energy grid and cause blackouts. Future reporting will discuss the other omnibus bills in greater detail.

Simply being an author on these bills is not enough. Republicans need to grow a spine and use their shared House majority as leverage. They must gut all wasteful spending, corruption, or woke policies from these bills and shrink the budgets to their most essential services. The MNGOP platform calls for the elimination of omnibus spending bills and Republicans must lead on that issue. Legislation cannot pass without Republican support yet they are allowing Democrats to have total control of over a third of the omnibus legislation on the docket.

Of the 21 omnibus bills, only ONE has more GOP authors than Democrats. HF2027/SF2511 is the omnibus Liquor Policy bill which has two GOP House authors [Tim O’Driscoll (13B) & Perryman (16A)] and one Democrat Senator [Matt Klein (SD53)]. This bill is extremely noncontroversial and proves how weak the RINOs are! The only bill where they have any real power is for a liquor bill tweaking policy and where people can drink alcohol! 

GOP House Reps must assert themselves and refuse the Democrat omnibus budget/policy plans. Instead the GOP should push conservative balanced budgets and policy bills that repeals anti-liberty laws. A4L has continually demanded GOP legislators push for pre-covid spending levels. 

Weak RINOs who refuse to be hardline negotiators are selling out Patriots and our freedom, which makes them just as bad as Democrats. A phony friend is no friend at all. A4L will continue to expose the uniparty corruption in Minnesota and lead the fight for grassroots conservatives!

Action 4 Liberty held a great Day of Action in house district 41A to inform Rep. Wayne Johnson’s constituents that he voted against our Never Again Bill.

The Never Again Bill blocks Walz or any future Governor from imposing unconstitutional lockdowns on our citizens ever again. Covid era tyranny destroyed businesses, churches, and children’s education under the guise of safety. In reality, power hungry politician tyrants like Tim Walz jumped in to impose their will. This legislation would require supermajority approval from the legislature and would imprison any Governor who attempts to unconstitutionally lock our state down.

RINO Wayne Johnson opposes the Never Again Bill and voted against it on the House floor. As our signature piece of legislation, A4L was not going to keep his voters in the dark! Former A4L President Jake Duesenberg explains the entire vote in the video below (click image):

We organized a Day of Action in his district and brought out young conservatives who love liberty to hit the doors! We connected with great Patriots and provided the information that RINOs don’t want you to know! See some pictures of us out knocking below:

Conservatives in Wayne Johnson’s district and across our state support the Never Again Bill and are livid that RINOs like Wayne Johnson opposed it. RINO House leadership told members to oppose the bill even though the same leaders are signed onto the bill themselves! 

There is a reason we are called Action 4 Liberty. We identify, engage, and mobilize grassroots conservatives to take real political action for the cause of liberty. Our God-given Rights are too precious to give up and we will never sacrifice them in pursuit of political relationships, power, or other goals. Our mission is to protect liberty for the next generation; Democrats always interfere with that mission but RINOs like Wayne Johnson are often just as guilty!

Thank you to all who participated in or helped with our Day of Action in district 41A! It was a massive success that can be replicated throughout the state. RINO politicians are pulling a scam on their voters and A4L will continue to expose what is really going on!

Some wonder if Wayne Johnson really is a Republican in Name Only because he certainly isn’t a conservative! It may come as no surprise that Johnson planned to run as an Independent candidate for state house after local delegates rejected him for the party endorsement. This would have most definitely split right-leaning voters and would have given the House majority to the Democrats. See below:

In fact, Wayne doesn't just flippantly change his party affiliation on social media, he also proves himself to be a mask-lover and cozies up with RINO Tony Jurgens (who endorsed Democrat Judy Seeberger and cost the GOP the Senate) big government Democrats like Tina Smith, Amy Klobuchar, Karla Bigham, and Angie Craig! Think about it, this is just some of the kind of stuff he posts in public, imagine how liberal he really is in private! See below:

Minnesota is under the control of radical leftists and the RINOs who enable them. While the GOP Establishment would want you to believe that simply electing Republicans will solve all issues, time after time we see RINO politicians backstab the conservative base.

In this case, RINO Jim Nash (48A) is working with Democrats to increase ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s Attorney General office budget! This comes as Ellison wastes tax dollars on frivolous lawsuits for men in women's sports and anti-2nd Amendment cases (where the U.S. Supreme Court just refused to hear Ellison's appeal).

Omnibus spending bills will be the large focus as the state legislature wraps up for the year. The list of spending/policy omnibus bills can be found here. Minnesota passes two year budget bills in odd numbered years. The State Govt. Policy and Finance omnibus spending bill is where funding for the Attorney General’s office is located.

HF2783 is this year’s State Govt. funding bill and it is co-authored by RINO Jim Nash and radical leftist Democrat Ginny Klevorn. This bill increases funding for Ellison’s office to $46,919,000 for 2026 and $47,398,000 for 2027!

In 2023, the State Govt. spending bill only had Democrat authors and passed along party lines. In the 2023 bill (HF1830), the 2025 budget for Keith Ellison is $43,825,000. This means an over $3M increase for next year and over $3.5M increase for the year after compared to what Ellison got for 2025!

The “party of limited government” is going to give even more money to ANTIFA Keith Ellison rather than fighting against Ellison! In total, this bill costs $1.35B which is a $45M increase over February’s forecast base. Nash clearly lacks negotiation skills, or worse, that he is truly in line with the Democrats.

On April 10th, this bill was passed UNANIMOUSLY out of the House Govt. Finance and Policy Committee [GOP Reps: Nash (48A), Davis (6A), Anderson (12A), Joy (4B), Koznick (57A), Quam (24A), and Sexton (19B)] and be referred to the House Ways and Means Committee (membership found here). In a bad sign for transparency, the House has not published the Govt. Finance and Policy Committee’s minutes and the bill webpage still lists that it sits in that committee rather than Ways and Means. As of this article’s publishing date, the Ways and Means Committee has not taken this bill up yet and it is not even in their public listing docket.

The Senate version of this bill (SF3045) authored only by Democrat Tou Xiong (SD44) and the funding numbers for the AG office is the same in each version. 

This bill is in violation of the MNGOP Platform where it states its support for "Ending the use of omnibus spending bills" (page 2). To make matters worse, this spending bill costs more than the 2025 State Govt. funding budget pushed by Socialist Tim Walz!

Jim Nash, Lisa Demuth, and any other RINO planning on voting for this garbage are phonies who can never be called conservatives. In 2023, Nash and Demuth criticized the 2023 Democrat State Govt. bill. Nash quoted Oscar Wilde and said “The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy”. But now, Jim Nash is leading the charge on behalf of the expanding bureaucracy!

RINOs use performative measures to pretend to be conservatives but at the end of the day, they are the exact same as Democrats. The WWE style of politics has become known to the grassroots. The curtain has been pulled and Patriots can see the uniparty in action.

In addition, this budget bill adds new spending for government built electric vehicle stations. These will eat into the state’s energy grid and cause blackouts. This will enable Walz’ tyrannical 2040 carbon mandate and the Green New Deal climate hoax. See portion of bill below:

While this bill also adds new language that allows government officials to report fraud stop payments to groups if fraud is found, fraudsters already do not follow the law and corrupt government officials will continue to look the other way. Accountability and cutting massive government spending is the only way to eliminate fraud. The hand-off of a massive liberal budget for a few noncontroversial fraud laws shows how weak of negotiators RINOs are. Nash has clearly not read 'The Art of the Deal'.

Republicans should pivot and opt for pre-covid spending levels as A4L has continually suggested. Instead, spineless GOP legislators are working to push a budget plan that expands the evil big government, totals slightly over $66.6B, would be the second largest budget in MN history, and would eat into your surplus dollars. As we’ve previously reported, the proposed GOP budget spends more tax dollars than the government is anticipating to take in which means it is NOT a balanced budget and will eat into the deserved surplus money for taxpayers, no matter how much unhinged Walter Hudson defends it.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to expose the corrupt uniparty of Minnesota that seeks to expand government, spend more of your money, and strip us of our God-given liberties. A4L will always stand as a blockade for the Grassroots against the Establishment. While RINOs push spending bills that benefit radical leftists like Keith Ellison, we will be here to set the record straight.
