A new bill in the Legislature removes the word "breast" from "breast milk", calls women "lactating employees", and targets business owners with crazy regulations. GOP Senator Julia Coleman (SD48) is an author for SF1018 and is the only Republican on the bill in both the House and Senate! This bill adds unfair regulations for employers, increases the size and scope of government, and adds woke, social justice warrior gender language to our laws.

This bill piles regulatory burdens onto business owners as if there aren’t enough hurdles in our state. It begins with broad and vague ways that limits employers and forces them to walk on eggshells. If employers say anything that employees can find the tiniest issue with, the employee can take them to civil court and a liberal judge will award them with the owner’s money. See below:

This overarching language is used throughout the bill and will undoubtedly hurt business owners. They later target business owners again by removing regulations that require an employee work for an employer for 12 months preceding paid parental leave (paid by employer). What is to prevent someone from getting a job then immediately going on maternity or paternity leave on the employer’s dime? Absolutely nothing. See text below:

This bill goes on to inject woke terms like “lactating employees” because “nursing mothers” isn’t inclusive enough! Additionally, this bill eliminates the word “breast” from the phrase “breast milk”. Apparently, Julia Coleman and her Democratic friends think there’s other places milk comes from! The goal posts are always moving further and further left towards insanity. See the crazy wording for yourself below:

It is typical to see this nonsense from the radical left Democrats but it is a shock to see a Republican not just as a supporter of the bill, but as an author! Contact Senator Julia Coleman and tell her to oppose this bill and remove her name as an author! RINO behavior cannot be tolerated from our Legislators. We must fight the woke ideology on all fronts, make sure Senator Coleman gets the message!

UPDATE (March 10th, 2023): Sen Julia Coleman emailed our organization and informed us she removed her name from the bill.

The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association (MPPOA) and Executive Director Brian Peters has consistently supported and endorsed RINOs, radical Democrats, establishment talking points, and legislation that takes away our freedom. Now they are pushing for radical leftist gun control.

It is a shame that the largest representation for the hardworking police officers of our state is the crony, establishment leadership of the MPPOA. The MPPOA has worked hard to silence grassroots opposition to the swamp by pouring money into candidates and policies that attack the Constitution.

The MPPOA has released a statement that states their support for radical leftist Rep. Dave Pinto’s (Dem-64B) bill HF14 that additionally has the other gun-grabbing Representatives as authors. This bill would restrict gun rights by requiring background checks into all private transfers of pistols and semi-automatic rifles. This includes sales or gifts between family members, friends, and everything else imaginable. 

In the MPPOA’s statement, they even used liberal talking points like calling semi-automatic rifles “weapons of war” and "keeping our residents and law enforcement officers safe from the threat of gun violence" despite this bill targeting law-abiding patriots instead of criminals. See below:

Law enforcement officers in our state deserve better representation. The MPPOA should be focused on crime and criminals instead of law abiding citizens. Gun laws never restrict criminals because they will break the law regardless. Penalizing gun owners and involving the government in private transactions is the type of Orwellian tyranny we need to fight.

Meanwhile Roseau, Wadena, Clearwater, and Marshall Counties have all become 2nd Amendment Sanctuary Counties! Most recently, Itasca County Commissioners voted unanimously to do the same with support of their Sheriff Joe Dasovich. This sanctuary status allows the County Sheriff’s Department to refuse to enforce unconstitutional gun laws passed by our tyrannical Legislature and Governor. 

The MPPOA's gun control support comes on the heels of them also supporting drivers licenses for illegals! Minnesotans vehemently opposed allowing illegals to have licenses that don't even identify their lack of citizenship! See their support for the green hair radical leftist Aisha Gomez' (Dem-62B) bill HF4 below:

Many may remember the MPPOA’s endorsement of RINO Paul Gazelka for his humiliating Governor campaign. After Gazelka got crushed at the State Convention with last place, the MPPOA endorsed radical leftist Angie Craig for Minnesota's 2nd US Congressional District over conservative Tyler Kistner! You can see the full endorsement list of 2022 here and the Angie Craig endorsement below:

Contact your Legislator and tell them to oppose any and all gun control. Once gun rights are lost, they are lost forever! We cannot allow vulnerable Democrats or RINOs take our gun rights! Pressure your County Commissioners to pass a Resolution deeming your county a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary, it may be our last line of defense!

Governor Tim Walz held a signing ceremony for an executive order protecting the LGBT "right" to groom children on Wednesday morning, capping off the event by calling anti-trans parents and activists “bullies”.

This executive order makes Minnesota a sanctuary state for transgender surgeries and treatments. Take a look at the most concerning part of the order below:

Read the whole executive order.

It is clear that he and his lackeys in the legislature are feeling the heat from surrounding states. Just recently, Tennessee enacted a law that bans child genital mutilation surgeries.

Strangely enough, Walz was clearly threatened by this act. He believes that this behavior is an attempt to “eradicate” LGBT people. In reality, it is an effort to protect children from the left’s woke agenda.

At this conference, Walz invited a family doctor who specializes in “transgender youth” to speak to the room. Dr. Kelsey Leonardsmith demanded that legislators protect her right to profit from gender hormones and surgeries. When asked about lasting damage caused by these treatments, she replied:

“There are also permanent, irreversible changes caused by just living in the body that you are born in.”

Lt. Governor Flanagan was also wearing the shirt below, which says “Protect Trans Kids” and features a large knife.

At least three children were present at the event, all of which were highlighted by various speakers. 

According to the Democrats, the parents that want to obstruct their child-abuse agenda are “bullies” and have no place in Tim Walz’s “One Minnesota.”

Late Monday night, Republicans and Democrats got together in the Minnesota House to usher through the most recent debt bill (aka, a “bonding bill”) for the 2023-24 legislative session. HF 669 puts a gargantuan $1.5 Billion on the state’s credit card. 

There is a lot in this bill designed to garner the support of both Democrats and Republicans. Among the worst of the provisions are:

• $8.4 million for community tree planting grants
• $10 million for new trail construction
• $8 million for a new “Mississippi River Learning Center”
• $72 million for public housing
• $180 Million to Failing State Universities
• $132 Million to University of Minnesota and its woke administration

Don’t forget that the bonding bill is the one area where Republicans have leverage to legislate in 2023. While Democrats narrowly carry control of the House, the Senate, and the Governor’s mansion – Bonding Bills require a 60% vote share in both chambers – something that Democrats do not have.

Despite this, a number of Republicans voted for this bill in the House anyway. The legislation passed with a vote of 91-43. Luckily, Republicans in the Senate seem to be willing to put up a fight.

Democrats only have a one-vote majority in the Senate. If all the Republicans stand together, they can stall this bill until they get a wish list of legislative priorities. If they are smart, they can demand:

• No new gun control laws
• A full return of the budget surplus
• A COMPLETE repeal of the tax on social security (no tinkering!)

Here's who voted for the debt bill:

Contact your State Senator and tell them to stand their ground and demand real results.

Minnesota Democrats have been ram-rodding their radical agenda through the Legislature at an unprecedented pace. We have never seen our state government expand so quickly with so many bills spending our massive budget surplus. On every consequential vote, the Democrats have been in complete lockstep.

Now they are pushing for the Socialist “basic income grants” in the appropriately titled HF2666 that will spend over $200 Million over the next two years! This is the pilot plan for Communism in our state. To make matters worse, the money will be appropriated from the General Fund... meaning our $21 Billion Surplus!

Five Democrats have signed on as authors and it is the usual Communist suspects: Hollins (66B), Gomez (62A), Agbaje (59B), Xiong (67B), and Heather Keeler (4A) who also wants to ban white people from adopting outside their race!

This bill would spend our Surplus money by giving it to local governments, Indian tribes, or nonprofits who get to divvy it up however they want! This wouldn’t be the first time that Democrats used nonprofits for fraud, remember the Feeding Our Future SCAM? The amount of fraud and corruption this bill will cause is unbelievable.

Along with the fiscal disaster this bill causes, it doubles down on the Democrats’ racist agenda by favoring Indians over everyone else! We also create a society of lazy people who refuse to work because the government is paying them to sit at home! Individuals could receive payments between $350 to $1200 a month if they know a bureaucrat who will sign off on them.

Our society is collapsing and Democrats are turning working men into welfare queens. We cannot allow the Democrats to turn us into a Socialist state that attacks taxpayers and rewards the leeches of society. Contact your legislators and make sure they oppose this SCAM!

Leave it up to Minnesota to be a national embarrassment once again. Last week, Judge Patrick Diamond ruled that USA Powerlifting and Powerlifting Minnesota must allow transgender individuals to compete as the gender they identify as. 

JayCee Cooper identifies as a female, but was born a male. He has sought to compete as a female powerlifter. In 2021, he filed a discrimination case against USA Powerlifting, citing violations of the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA).

Leftists across the state and across the nation applaud this ruling, even as females in the sport are now disenfranchised. Why should a biological male with naturally higher levels of testosterone be allowed to compete with biological females?

This refusal to acknowledge biological realities is sweeping the nation, particularly within competitive sports. Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas is a popular example of this phenomenon. 

In a letter to the President of USA Powerlifting, Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar wrote:

“I urge you to reconsider this discriminatory, unscientific policy and follow the example of the International Olympic Committee. The myth that trans women have a ‘direct competitive advantage’ is not supported by medical science, and it continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk communities in the world.”

What is most notable here is that Omar truly believes that it is “unscientific” to acknowledge the competitive advantage that males bring to the table. Why does she think performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) are prohibited in the vast majority of professional sports?

Anabolic-androgenic steroids, for example, are banned in most professional sports. This drug is a synthetic form of testosterone and helps build muscle strength and power.

It is well known that testosterone is a natural performance enhancer, which is why it is unfair to put testosterone-filled males up against biological females. 

Congresswoman Omar is far from the only leftist to hold this unfortunate view on transgender athletes. The left will champion this victory today but are already working on their next victory. They will not stop until they have totally implemented their intersectional agenda.

Five Democrats in the Minnesota House introduced a bill called the "Minnesota Migration Act." If pass, the bill would create a new government agency called the "Minnesota Migration Advisory Council" and would take upwards of $100 Million of taxpayer money to provide reparation checks to descendants of slaves.

The newly created Advisory Council would be tasked to "analyze the past economic benefits of slavery and institutional racism," then determine the amount of money and how to distribute it to black Minnesotans. The sins of past slave owners will now be a cost passed onto you. 

Membership on the Advisory Council will, of course, be discriminated by the color of one's skin. According to the bill, "all members must be chosen with an emphasis on appointing members who are descendants of persons believed to have been enslaved in the United States, or members of the American descendants of chattel slavery with lived experience of racial discrimination and who were impacted by policies which have caused intergenerational trauma."

The words of the Great Martin Luther King Jr are lost on the modern leftists. They don't seek a country where we judge by the content of character, rather they want further division amongst race. Oh, how we have digressed as a society with Democrats in charge!

The Republican Party has celebrated campaign finance complaints (that they themselves have filed) against Action 4 Liberty in the past. Now, they face a monumental fine from the Federal Elections Committee for campaign malpractice in 2018 and 2020.

The first fine totals $53,000 from the 2018 election cycle. This comes after the state party failed to maintain records on employee payroll and disbursements made to 13 different communications vendors. The second fine totals $58,500, coming from another failure to accurately report receipts on disbursements as well as accepting more contributions than the legal limit. 

As of January 2023, the Republican Party of Minnesota only has $3,000 in cash.

The Minnesota GOP is also violating Minnesota Campaign Finance Board (CFB) rules when it comes to properly accounting for charging candidates for data.

The Minnesota DFL charges its candidates for access to party data, which must be priced at "fair market value", according to the CFB. The DFL charges the candidate's committee $400 for state house candidates and $800 for state senate candidates, respectively. Those charges can be found on the DFL's campaign finance reports.

However, the MNGOP isn't charging its candidates at all for data access. Even if the data is a contribution to the various campaigns, the MNGOP is violating state laws by not disclosing those contributions as "in-kind" on its reports. 

In typical swamp fashion, the only example we've seen of the Party trying to charge candidates for data is when Chairman David Hann cut off data access to grassroots, conservative candidates who were facing establishment challengers in the 2022 Primary. After Action 4 Liberty broke the story, the party buckled and resumed data access for these candidates without accessing the ridiculous fees that, in some case, exceeded $10,000. 

Despite the MNGOP's legal and financial problems, they continue to attack Action 4 Liberty and its conservative volunteers. They are trying to divide conservatives, which is not a recipe for building a Party that failed to lose all branches of state government in the recent election.

That’s why groups like Action 4 Liberty are needed now more than ever. If Republicans won’t do it, it is up to Action 4 Liberty to expose the records of leftist legislators who are waging a full-scale on your liberties. 

Just yesterday, we had a team in the St. Cloud area putting pressure on swing-district Senator Aric Putnam. We passed out hundreds of flyers letting voters know they must hold their politicians accountable.

Though conservative activists wish the best for the GOP, they know that the current leadership is not capable of standing up for their principles in the face of leftists. Let's keep grassroots conservatives engaged so that we can take back our liberties in 2024, 2026, and beyond.

Minnesota Senate Democrats snuck a provision in an Amendment during a late evening Health & Human Services Committee hearing tonight. The language would change current state statute that prohibits taxpayer funded Medical Assistance money paying for sex reassignment surgery. If passed into law, "gender affirming services", which is their cleverly crafted phrase for mutilating genitals, would be covered by Minnesota taxpayers.

If an individual wants to spend his or her own money to destroy their own genitals, that's their prerogative. But forcing taxpayers to fund these operations is just plain wrong.

We reported last month about a bill that would make Minnesota a Sanctuary State for Genital Mutilation of children. 

Here's the language of the A1 Amendment to SF 2213:

Here's video of the "gender affirming services" portion of the Amendment being brought up in committee tonight:

The Minnesota Democratic Party (DFL) has adopted an increasingly anti-white attitude over the past several years. Representative Heather Keeler is the latest example of this extreme trend. 

In a Facebook post from February 28th, Keeler says she is “sick of white Christians adopting our babies,” further asking whites to  “stop stealing our babies.” Keeler is a Native American who represents the Moorhead area.

Alpha News obtained the screenshot of the post, which has since been deleted or hidden from public view.

God made each of us to be equal in his eyes. The idea that race, skin color, or background should preclude you from adoption is lunacy. Unfortunately, Representative Keeler wants to put her vile beliefs into law.

HF 1071 – authored by Keeler – puts provisions from the federal Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) into state law. These components will make it infinitely more difficult for children in foster care to be adopted because of the racist notion that these children need to stay with members of their own race.

See just some of the bill language below:

While it is understandable that Native American Tribes have their sovereignty, this legislation seeks to infringe upon the rights of both biological and prospective adoptive mothers.

Sadly, it is more likely that these children will stay in foster care than be adopted by a couple within the reservation. For the Democrats, however, race is more important than a stable family unit.
