HHS Omnibus Funds All Abortions; ‘Gender-Affirming’ Care


The Action 4 Liberty team is currently reviewing HF 2930, the Heath and Human Services Omnibus Bill. The latest version, which is being put together in committee, includes many of the worst provisions of HF 91 – including complete taxpayer funding of abortion under MinnesotaCare.

The lines underlined mean they are being added to state statutes. The words that are crossed off mean they are being removed from state statutes.

Abortion is not only thing fully funded under MinnesotaCare. Now, your tax dollars will be going towards “Gender-Affirming Surgeries.”

The proposed legislation is over 500 pages long, so the team is still reviewing some of the worst of what Democrats have to offer. Stay tuned for updates this coming week.


Democrat Omnibus Bill Harbors Extreme Gun Control


Democrats in the Minnesota House are likely to push through their Public Safety Omnibus Bill, which harbors extreme gun control measures. Our team has covered some of these provisions in past articles.

HF 2890, introduced by Representative Kelly Moller, has some extreme gun control measures tucked into the bill. These include:

  • Giving Sheriffs the ability to deny gun permits
  • Universal background checks for all gun transfers
  • Red Flag Laws
  • “Large-capacity” magazine bans

 

Omnibus bills are intentionally long and difficult to read. Use this article as a guide to understanding how the left is trying to take away your Second Amendment rights.

May Issue Rule

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 624.7131, subdivision 4, will be amended to allow your local sheriff to deny you a permit to carry. If you live in the seven-county metro, you better believe that some of these liberal sheriffs will be denying a lot of permits.

 

Universal Background Checks

As you may know, background checks on gun purchases are already done through the FBI. This provision in Section 13 would add another level of background checks done at the state level. Worse yet, all gun transfers need to be recorded and approved by the state. This includes lending your firearm to a friend or family member. 

 

Red Flag Law

A left-wing dream, Democrats are placing “extreme risk protection orders” into state law. In Section 19, a Judge would be allowed to order the confiscation of firearms before due process can take place. Got a crazy ex or a disgruntled associate? They can call into the police and say that you are a threat, which would allow them to come and take your firearms almost immediately.

 

Prohibition of Large-Capacity Magazines

Section 14 prohibits the manufacture, import, or transfer of a rifle with a magazine over ten rounds. A handgun is limited to less than fifteen rounds. 

 

If you cherish your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, you’ll want to demand that legislators reject this legislation. Funnily enough, this extreme gun language is absent in the Senate version of this proposal.

Do not be fooled. 

Though vulnerable Senate Democrats may not vote on gun control in their version of the Public Safety Omnibus Bill, it will almost certainly be negotiated into the final language after both bodies usher it through the legislature.

Democrats have a six-seat majority in the Minnesota House. In the Senate, there is only a one-seat Democrat majority. 

That’s why you must contact vulnerable Democrat legislators NOW. Let them know that you know the truth about their tactics and that it won’t let them off the hook come the next election.

Politicians Eager to Impose Local Sales Taxes


Before a city or township has the legal ability to levy a sales tax, they must first ask for permission from the Minnesota legislature. Despite having among the highest tax burden in the nation, state legislators in both parties are now moving legislation to grant these requests. 

36 of these requests have been made this year in the legislature, ranging anywhere from .25% to 1.5% in each city. While this does not sound like a lot, it is expected to bring in additional millions of dollars for each city per year. 

Combine that with the proposed .25% sales tax on residents of the seven-county metro area, and your wallet will notice a change – fast. 

There is an argument to be made that local government is the best government, and that they should have the option to increase taxes if they want to. This argument ignores the fact that, again, Minnesota already burdens its citizenry with excessive taxes. 

With a $17+ Billion budget surplus, there should be absolutely zero talks of increasing taxes, whether it be on a state, county, or city level. Most of these localities are already demanding their pet projects be put into the debt bill (aka, bonding bill), anyway. 

If tax increases can be stopped, they should be stopped. Contact your state legislators and tell them to vote against tax increases in any and every form. 


Isanti County Passes Resolution Nullifying Unconstitutional Gun Laws


On Tuesday, Isanti County became the latest county to pass a Second Amendment sanctuary resolution, thanks to the efforts of local grassroots activists and Action 4 Liberty.

Introduced by Commissioner Alan Duff, the “Second Amendment Dedicated County Resolution” sought to nullify any unconstitutional gun grabs initiated by Democrats in St. Paul. 

When the resolution was first considered back in March, both A4L activists and grassroots conservatives packed the room in support of the Second Amendment. 

Yesterday, the Isanti County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 to pass the resolution. This is despite efforts from the County Attorney to encourage a strongly-worded letter to Democrat legislators, instead. Nevertheless, Commissioner Duff pushed forward with his resolution.

Watch Video of the Vote

The resolution affirms the county's commitment to uphold the Second Amendment and resist any attempts to infringe on the constitutional rights of its citizens.

The passage of the resolution comes amid a nationwide debate over gun rights and gun control. In recent years, several states and counties have passed similar resolutions, declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries and pledging to resist any attempts to infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.

Democrats in St. Paul are hell-bent on getting Universal Background Checks and Red Flag Laws passed into law. Regardless of that outcome, Isanti County residents can rest assured that their county is committed to upholding their constitutional rights.


Hamline President Bows to Woke Students; Resigns


Hamline University's President, Dr. Fayneese Miller, has announced her retirement, effective next year, amid controversy surrounding a fired adjunct professor. The professor showed students a painting that depicted the prophet Muhammed, which offended Muslims in the Hamline Community.

Miller fired the professor -- it's unclear what more she could have done. Regardless, woke activists made her a target. 

The controversy over Miller's handling of the incident has highlighted the growing trend of left-wing students attempting to silence voices that they disagree with on college campuses across the country. Instead of promoting diversity of thought and free speech, left-wing students attempt to impose their narrow ideological views on the university community. 

This trend is particularly troubling in light of recent incidents of cancel culture, which has resulted in the silencing of dissenting voices and the stifling of free speech and academic freedom.

The decision by Miller to retire in the face of left-wing pressure sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the university's commitment to free speech and diversity of thought. It is essential that universities across the country stand up to left-wing pressure and protect the fundamental principles of academic freedom and free speech. Only by doing so can we ensure that our universities remain a place where all voices are heard and the pursuit of truth and knowledge can flourish.


Democrat Legislators Give Walz and Ellison Pay Raise From Surplus Cash


The Minnesota Democrat Party is good at looking after their own. Now that they have total control of the state government, they are giving their elected officials pay bumps across the board.

MPR News reports that the Compensation Council has recommended pay hikes for both state legislators and statewide elected officials. Member of the Compensation Council are appointed by Governor Walz.

The Council recommends a 9.0% pay increase on July 1st, 2023; and a 7.5% pay increase on July 1st, 2024 for all statewide offices. Minnesota state legislators, however, already approved a 7.25% pay increase for themselves in March. It’s not hard to see them easily greenlighting the increase for Governor Walz, Attorney General Ellison, and their other crony friends. 

Don’t forget that taxpayers are on the hook for Tim Walz’s rental home in sunfish lake, which costs about $17,000 per month!

Of course, all of this money comes from YOUR budget surplus in St. Paul. If the Democrats have their way this legislative session, you can be sure that all $17 billion will be gone.

Thankfully, there are still a few months left of this session. It’s not too late to demand that your legislators do their job and give the taxpayers their money back. Call and email your state representative and state senator immediately. 


Bud Light Celebrates 365 Days of “Girlhood” with Fake Woman

In a move that many Patriots consider to be a slap in the face, the self-proclaimed “King of Beers” has a new design of their beer can that celebrates 365 days of transgender Dylan Mulvaney’s “girlhood”. Who knew the King of Beers was going 100 mph down the ridiculous woke lane!

Mulvaney has gotten a lot of attention since Drew Barrymore kneeled down and worshiped him during an interview. Mulvaney also interviewed Joe Biden in one of the most bizarre videos that exists on the Internet. Along with other globalist Corporations, Bud Light is paying Mulvaney big bucks to either look woke or help push this evil agenda. Dylan Mulvaney even filmed an ad with them while taking a bath, watch the video for yourself:

The woke agenda has infected every square inch of our lives. Things that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago are considered the “new normal”. We know this firsthand in Minnesota as we have seen:

The corporate propaganda for the transgender agenda is terrible for our society because it spits in the face of truth and spreads immorality to a large audience. Mental diseases like gender dysphoria should be confronted and cured, not celebrated!

Bud Light explained their move by saying this helps them “authentically connect with audiences” despite this being a massive insult to their actual audience - guys like me! Perhaps they could authentically connect with audiences if they put an authentic woman on their can instead of a fake one! Additionally, it has been uncovered that the CEO of Bud Light's parent company, Anheuser-Busch, was a CIA operative before getting involved in the beer industry. It all makes sense now...

In the beautiful world of capitalism, our dollars are our voices and we can force woke corporations to reevaluate their decisions once it starts hurting their bottom line. 


Walz and Democrats Use Tragedy to Push Extreme Gun Control


In the wake of the horrific Christian elementary school shooting in Nashville on Monday, Governor Tim Walz and Democrats held a press conference on Thursday to announce a renewed gun control push.

The House Public Safety Bill (HF 2890) contains two of these gun control provisions, including Universal Background Checks for all gun sales and transfers and Red Flag Laws. 

Walz insists that 2023 is the year that he fully infringes upon the rights of the people. He justifies his tyrannical ideas based on public opinion polling. However, he failed to use this same logic when he signed an executive order that makes Minnesota a sanctuary state for child genital mutilation, which 67% of voters oppose

Mental heath issues were not discussed at Walz’s press conference. According to him, guns are the only issue at hand. In fact, he took to yelling at Republican legislators who would vote against his proposals.

 

 

Clearly, Walz is worried about his gun control demands failing on the floor of the Minnesota Senate, where Democrats carry a one-seat majority. Now is the time to put pressure on the Democrat politicians who may flip on this issue. Contact them below:

Democrats Hold Drag Show at Capitol; Children Present


For the Minnesota Democrat’s “Trans Day of Visibility” in St. Paul, legislators brought in a Drag Queen to seductively dance in front of children.

Guy Still with WCCO shared the video of the event on Twitter.

The Drag Queen is Tomi Saint James, who uses his social media to promote satanic imagery. 

 

 

The event is hosted by OutFront Minnesota, a group that provides “trainings” that include “an array of topics related to LGBTQ+ equity.”

The optics on this event could not be worse. Instead of discussing the mental health issues associated with the transgender school shooter on Monday, they put together a rally to celebrate the toxic ideology. 

The speaking list for the event included U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, Rep. Leigh Finke, and Rep. Alicia Kozlowski. All of them spoke following a “Rally for Trans Youth” that was held at 9:00am.

However, it appears that all Minnesota Democrats are hopping on board with this extreme event, including Senator Judy Seeberger - who only won her election by 321 votes. 

 

If the Democrat Party continue down this path, they could easily lose critical suburban votes in 2024 and 2026. 


State House Unanimously Passes Strange, Anti-Free Speech “Deep Fake” Bill

Should you go to prison and pay fines if you make a computer generated fake video or photo of a politician? According to the MN House Swamp, yes. According to a bill passed unanimously in the Minnesota House yesterday, an individual could be fined $10,000 and spend up to 5 years in prison for creating what is known as a "deep fake."

While Minnesotans are struggling under high taxes, big government, wasteful spending, and corrupt politicians who refuse to return our overtaxed Surplus money, the State House has decided to pass a bill that limits speech.

It is fair to say that there are issues as it relates to deep fakes like the fake images of Trump’s arrest, phony Joe Rogan AI conversations, the Pope in a puffy jacket photo, ChatGPT, and other things. However, this is not an issue that the MN Legislature can solve or should even try to solve.

(Deep fake image of Trump being arrested by NYPD - obviously not real)

HF1370 is a bill that makes “Deep Fake” images, videos, and sound illegal in the state of Minnesota as it relates to sexual images and “influencing elections.” This issue is not black and white, it requires a lot of nuance and allowance of speech, even speech you find untruthful. 

Nobody is against allowing victims of deep fake sexual images or videos to have legal options in dealing with the criminal who caused the dissemination of said image/video. 

However, the second section HF1370 relates to "influencing elections" and the gray area is extremely apparent. Who can define what "influencing an election" really is? Corrupt prosecutors and judges?

Rep. Anne Neu Brindley (RINO-HD28B) offered the A6 Amendment to this bill which would slightly improve this terrible bill by requiring stricter interpretations of this law as it relates to images. The Amendment failed by a voice vote because neither Neu or any of her colleagues requested a recorded roll call vote. She wasn't serious about it. See the language below:

The Representatives sat back and had some laughs at deep fake images of current or former Legislators, seeing the absurdity in some cases. Neu Brindley had a certain love and affection for a literature piece that Democrats created, depicting liberty champion Erik Mortensen as the “village idiot” of the Capitol. Nasty Neu Brindley suggested that there was no issue with that image because “it’s accurate and true!" See below:

The unanimous vote and laughter in the Chamber shows that it's all a big dog and pony show for these clowns. The real truth is that RINOs like Anne Neu Brindley would rather have a GOP Minority than a GOP Majority with Mort! The upside is that he still lives rent-free in these RINOs’ heads!

This bill limits the free speech of regular individuals to create images using photo-shop and other editing tools. A not so-politically involved young individual, with advanced editing skills, could wind up in legal trouble for creating a "deep fake" if its lands in the window of 90 days before an election and people are too dumb to understand it's not real.

Has a crime REALLY occurred here?

Free speech is a protected right. Contact your Senator and tell them to oppose this anti-First Amendment bill! We cannot allow politicians to steamroll us by telling us what we can and cannot say! It is up to Patriots like you and I to save our Constitution and state!
