Minnesota currently sits with a 67-66 GOP Majority in the state House following a court order that ruled HD40B election winner, Democrat Curtis Johnson, did not meet residence requirements and the seat is therefore vacated. Read our previous reporting on how House Republicans can leverage this opportunity to expand their Majority by rejecting the election certificate of radical leftist Brad Tabke because 21 ballots were thrown away in his race decided by 15 votes. 

In order for a candidate to be eligible to hold office as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, legal residency must be established in the district in which the candidate is running for at least 6 months prior to the election. 

Curtis Johnson ran as the Democrat candidate for Minnesota House District 40B against Republican candidate, Paul Wikstrom. One has to wonder how was Curtis Johnson’s name able to even be printed on the ballot for the November 5th general election when his residency was not established at the time of filing. 

Following Johnson’s win, Wikstrom contested the election citing Johnson’s ineligibility based on the residency requirement. On December 20th, District Court Judge Leonardo Castro ruled that Johnson did not meet residence requirements and ordered the seat to be filled according to law (special election). See court order below:

Johnson had until the first day of session, January 14, to appeal this ruling to the state Supreme Court, but in an unorthodox move, Johnson wrote a formal letter to Governor Walz on December 27, making “the difficult decision not to accept my seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives and to resign from the Office of State Representative effective immediately and irrevocably.” Johnson cannot resign from a position he does not hold! He has not even taken the oath of office or held the seat yet! See Johnson's letter to Walz below:

As if the awkwardly crafted resignation by Johnson wasn’t strange enough, Walz took a bold move of his own by falsely interpreting the MN Statute 204D.19, Subd. 4 on special elections. Walz announced a special election for the 40B seat to be held January 28, with a primary election if necessary on January 14.  He further required nomination petitions and affidavits of candidacy must be filed with the Ramsey County auditor or the Secretary of State by 5:00 p.m. December 31st. Considering that nominating petitions require 500 signatures for Independent or Minor Party candidates to be placed on the ballot, this gives almost no time for those candidates to get on the ballot, which may be a violation of law.

State statute clearly states in subdivision 4 of the 204D.19 that the governor shall call the special election to be held 22 days after the first day of session, which puts the special election in February - not January 28 as arbitrarily determined by Tyrant Walz. He is clearly manipulating this situation and NOT abiding by the law in order to prevent the GOP from taking a Majority and the Speakership in the House.

Anti-lockdown attorney and former Judge candidate, Nathan Hansen, posted on X a great reply to GOP House Leader Lisa Demuth's questions on special election laws. See below:

It appears Simon and Walz will illegitamately use Subd. 3 instead of Subd. 4 in the above statute despite the obvious rationale behind using Subd. 4.

Constituents in Minnesota’s House District 40B dodged a bullet with Wikstrom’s legal contest surrounding the residence eligibility of Curtis Johnson considering that Johnson is a climate change cultist and an outspoken supporter of the woke LGBTQ+ agenda, 40B residents now hold the opportunity to circle the wagons around a conservative candidate and help tip the Minnesota House into a larger Republican majority.

Below you will see the list of candidates for the HD40B and SD60 special elections:

Action 4 Liberty is the leading source for freedom-loving Patriots because we report the truth with no punches pulled. Our hardcore style has led to several victories in the liberty battles we've taken on this year. 2024 has seen many wins and losses for liberty, especially in Minnesota, and Action 4 Liberty has been ready to expose it all! See our top 15 stories of the year below highlighting the important work we have led on!

1. Liberty Wing of MNGOP Successfully Cans David Hann

"Action 4 Liberty made tens of thousands of calls in the fall of 2021, mobilized thousands of grassroots Patriots to go to caucus, and got tons of people to run for state central delegate seats in 2023 which has now culminated to #CanTheHann!"

2. Itasca Patriots Fight Ellison Attorney Nomination; He Withdraws From Race!

"With only two days' notice of our story breaking, over 30 Patriots attended the event, with many speaking at the microphone directly to the Commissioners. Notably missing from this public job interview was “candidate” James Austad. There was also not a single individual from the public who spoke positively about Austad. Itascans made it clear that they want nothing to do with carpetbagging liberal lawyers in their County Government."

3. Fauci CANCELS MN Visit Following A4L Pressure & Rally Plans

"Just a few mere hours before Lying Tony Fauci was scheduled to appear at the Northrop Auditorium at the University of Minnesota, he suddenly CANCELED the visit! Our scheduled rally at the University was going to bring out hundreds of Patriots who support ‘Freedom Over Fauci’!"

4. How Republicans can Leverage & Expand their House Majority

"Now that House Republicans hold a Majority vote, they have every Right to elect a Republican House Speaker. Under the leadership of this Speaker, District 54A’s seat could be vacated by the Majority party refusing to recognize the election certification of Brad Tabke. Considering that Tabke won the race by only 14 votes and Scott County has admitted 20 ballots were thrown away (along with an additional missing ballot that they did not investigate), the error could mean that Tabke did not win the election at all. If Republicans are willing to play hard-ball starting on day 1, the rejection and expulsion of Tabke would bring the GOP to a 67-65 Majority."

5. Walz’ Embarrassing Debate Performance Filled with Lies; Fact-Check on Tampon Tim’s Claims

"Right from the jump, Walz had a look of unpreparedness and sheer panic across his face. Not exactly what people imagine in a supposed leader. It was clear that Walz was a nervous wreck as he was writing FURIOUSLY throughout the debate! In contrast, Vance did not appear to take ANY notes and was perfectly comfortable addressing questions right off the dome!"

6. Radical Walz Edu. Appointee Supports Overthrowing U.S. over Racism

"Concern has been raised surrounding a Tim Walz Dept. of Education appointment of an individual who is a radical, critical race theorist who is openly anti-American and believes our government should be overthrown. The appointed individual is Brian Lozenski and was chosen by Walz to help write the statement education framework for “ethnic studies” in public schools."

7. MNGOP Party Unit HRCC’s CFB Receipts Show $35K Spent for Un-Endorsed, RINO Incumbents

"Three races in particular drew attention due to long time incumbents being challenged by grassroots Patriots where all three incumbents did not win their endorsing convention. These races were RINO Ron Kresha v. Diane Webb-Skillings (10A), RINO Greg Davids v. Gary Steuart (26B), and RINO Brian Johnson v. Jimmy Gordon (28A). Upon review of the HRCC’s Campaign Finance Board September 2024 report, nearly $35K were spent protecting these three RINOs."

8. Trump Exposes MN Radical Abortion Laws in Debate; Kamala Refuses to Answer

"Trump dropped some MAJOR truth bombs during the debate and made Kamala squirm as he forced her to defend extremely unpopular late term and post-birth abortions, to which she refused to answer. Trump stated “Her Vice Presidential pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine.” and also stated that Walz supports post-birth abortions. Biased moderator Linsey Davis later interjected as a “fact-check” claiming no state has laws where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born. That is NOT true! Trump was 100% right! Minnesota has legalized abortions post-birth and the Democrats deny it by claiming that those abortions “never happen”. If they never happen then why not make them illegal?"

9. Breakdown: MAGA Jesse’s Lawsuit Against Crooked SOS Steve Simon

"Now, another major issue faces Minnesota that I, as an individual citizen, decided to fight. Even with the possibility of government retaliation or false attacks of racism by Ayyadurai, I was willing to face repercussions for truth. It is such an important lawsuit and was even covered by national media like The Federalist. Minnesota will have a candidate for President on the ballot who is NOT a ‘natural born citizen’ thanks to the incompetence or desire of the SOS office. The US Constitution Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 reads: “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”'

10. MN Dems Plan to Install Tim Walz as VP Candidate at DNC Convention 

(Article written 2 days before Biden dropped out, A4L Predicted Kamala/Walz ticket)

"The reality of a “Coconuts” Kamala Harris/Tyrant Tim Walz ticket is unfortunately becoming a very real possibility. The idea of Biden dropping out was once considered a conspiracy theory, and while some have predicted that Biden will be taken off the ticket, either voluntarily or by force, A4L President Erik Mortensen predicted a Kamala/Walz ticket on 7/11/24 and The Truth Hurts show also predicted this on a recent show."

11. MN GOP State Exec Upholds Decision to Boot Otter Tail County Delegates

"According to Truth Hurts News, State Exec members Joe Ditto, Wendy Phillips, Mark Bishofsky, Jenna Dicks, and Alec Beck voted to overturn Hann’s decision and seat the delegates."

12. Bogus Campaign Finance Complaint Against A4L Dropped

"The Minnesota Campaign Finance Board dropped a two-year-old complaint against Action 4 Liberty on Monday. The Board is made up of Governor Tim Walz employees, which explains why the process was so long and drawn out."

13. RINO Ron Kresha Fails Again to Get Republican Endorsement

"Republicans in House District 10A held their endorsing convention on Saturday. Six-term incumbent representative Ron Kresha was challenged by political newcomer Diane Webb-Skillings. After several rounds of voting, delegates voted to not endorse either candidate, meaning that the nominee will be decided in a primary election."

14. Corrupt CD6 Convention Rigged for Emmer; Kicked Opponent Out

"Tom Emmer, who President Trump labeled a ‘Globalist RINO’ during his Speaker bid, was challenged only by one candidate, a grassroots conservative named Chris Corey. Chris submitted his nomination email to Chair Bobby Benson before the deadline and completed a conference call with the Nominations Committee (NomCom). Chris met every deadline and requirement set by the CD6 Constitution and Convention Rules. He figured that things would not be run fairly when they refused to give him the email list of delegates."

15. A4L State Fair Booth In National Spotlight

"Action 4 Liberty can be found in the headlines of major news networks across our country because of our “Never Walz” state fair booth! Our booth has been one of the most popular booths in the entire fairgrounds, almost always having a line run down the street! It is clear that many Minnesotans are NOT happy about Walz’ promotion to be Phony Kamala’s running mate."

Conservative voters are often disillusioned by politics once they discover that Republicans often do nothing to fight for their interests once they get elected. Grassroots Patriots are sick and tired of promises from crony politicians that never pan out.

A greater example couldn’t exist more than Paul Gazelka. Despite residing in a safe red district, Gazelka continually caved to the Democrats, grew government, refused to hold Walz and other Democrats accountable on Covid era tyranny, and let conservatives down. As Senate Majority Leader, Gazelka proposed a budget that increased state spending by a whopping $4.2B or a 9% increase, increased AG Antifa Keith Ellison’s budget by $8M or a 17% increase, and pushed a FAKE bill on ending Walz’ Emergency Powers that would’ve ensured a lose/lose scenario.

As we have previously reported, Gazelka attempted to stay relevant with Kamala’s selection of Walz as VP by writing a book to grift himself as some kind of fighter against Walz! Gazelka has now admitted another truth about politics; Republicans just say things to get elected and don’t actually intend on governing as the grassroots wants! See his post on X below:

Gazelka is suggesting that even when Republicans are in a majority, they will not perform well with a liberty score because you need to govern with Democrats. Gazelka is using the budget fight in DC as an example for his thinking, which perfectly highlights his swampy instincts.

The United States is in massive debt and we continue toward the point of no return thanks to corrupt politicians robbing our country’s future away. A true conservative would never vote to raise the debt ceiling or pass legislation via massive multi-subject continuing resolution, omnibus bills but only 34 Represenatives opposed the bill. While the original budget bill was much worse, pressure from Elon Musk led to a shortened, less spendy bill. This is proof that pressure works but the deal did not satisfy the needs of the American people. If a government shutdown is the only way to prevent our country from going further in debt, conservatives should flex that muscle. While Don Jr. and the Trump camp argue that this budget deal is the best that could be struck, principled conservatives should always put the People first, not their own political interests.

Interestingly, all of MN’s Congressional delegation from Emmer to Ilhan to Stauber to Angie Craig, voted in favor of the debt-ridden deal because they all seemingly get some benefit out of the swamp staying open. 

Paul Gazelka admits the quiet part out loud, politicians do not care what you think and will do whatever they think will keep them in office. The grassroots must remind politicians that if they do not fight for their interests, they will fight to replace them. Action 4 Liberty will continue to report on the frontlines of the liberty battle in Minnesota.

Following the November elections, Minnesota was poised to have a historic split legislature as the House would each have 67 members for the GOP and Democrats. Following years of Democratic destruction in our state, Minnesotans clearly voted for change. A highly motivated conservative electorate was mobilized by the Trump/Vance ticket which can be credited for Republicans outperforming Dems in several swing districts.

A power-sharing agreement was reached between Republican leader Lisa Demuth and longtime Dem leader Melissa Hortman (both are their party’s Speaker-designees) where each party would have an equal number of members on each Committee. Determinations and results of negotiations related to the House Speakership do not appear to be publicly available.

News broke yesterday that the Democrats lost a House seat after District Court Judge Leonardo Castro ruled that newly elected Democrat Curtis Johnson did not meet residence requirements for District 40B so the seat is to be vacant until the seat is filled according to the law (via a special election). See the Judge’s Order below:

Curtis Johnson attempted to carpetbag into a District, didn't actually live there, and got caught by his Republican opponent, Paul Wikstrom. This means that Republicans now hold a 67-66 MAJORITY in the State House!

District 40B is a Democrat strong-hold so this Majority could be short-lived and temporary. However, Republicans have the opportunity to leverage and expand their Majority with Johnson’s absence.

Now that House Republicans hold a Majority vote, they have every Right to elect a Republican House Speaker. Under the leadership of this Speaker, District 54A’s seat could be vacated by the Majority party refusing to recognize the election certification of Brad Tabke. Considering that Tabke won the race by only 14 votes and Scott County has admitted 20 ballots were thrown away (along with an additional missing ballot that they did not investigate), the error could mean that Tabke did not win the election at all. 

If Republicans are willing to play hard-ball starting on day 1, the rejection and expulsion of Tabke would bring the GOP to a 67-65 Majority. A special election in 54A would be especially noteworthy because it is a swing district, which could mean that the House would ultimately end up a 68-66 GOP Majority (including a likely Democrat win in the 40B special election).

Conservative House members must not allow the certification of Brad Tabke to ensure that Minnesota elections are free and fair. This is a winning issue that RINOs cannot get in the way of.

Minnesota House Republicans have the opportunity to claim power and reverse the left wing insanity that has been imposed on our state. When the Democrats have had power, they ramrod every radical policy imaginable through the Legislature and force their members to vote in lockstep. If Republicans act as cowards in this moment and do not FIGHT, the House will return to a “shared” and “equal” power structure. 

Right now is the only opportunity for Republicans to take and keep the Majority. If the Democrats are given an inch, they will always take a mile (or more). Voters can not trust Minnesota elections if Brad Tabke is allowed to serve in the House while evidence exists of (perhaps unintentional) election manipulation. The House GOP must decide if they want to save Minnesota or if they want to share power with radical Democrats.

For further reading, check out this article on the MN House website that describes the political battles that took place in 1979, the only other time in MN history that the House was perfectly split 67-67.

In a highly anticipated event, the MNGOP State Central Committee met Saturday, December 14th for a long day which dragged on for around ten and a half hours thanks to RINO speakers and other establishment nonsense. However, there was important business that took place for the elections for Chair, Deputy Chair, and Secretary.

Action 4 Liberty has been on the frontlines of reporting the corruption of the MNGOP and the party officer elections has been no exception. Our exposure of RINO party officer candidates to the crony and establishment Nominations Committee (NomCom) chaired by puppet Aaron Farris to Farris leaking Bret Bussman’s NomCom interview, A4L has been the leader in providing honest, liberty-based reporting in Minnesota.

Read our previous reporting on Hann being ousted as Chair here. Conservative delegates ultimately consolidated around former RNC Committeeman and current Wayzata City Councilman Alex Plechash during the third round of voting.

Action 4 Liberty also identified tens of thousands of Patriots in Minnesota for years, trained them on caucusing/conventions, spent hundreds of thousands mobilizing with mass mailing campaigns, made tens of thousands of phone calls, and kept them active in the political process as delegates. Our work has contributed massively to the defeat of RINO David Hann.

The State Central Committee meeting was chaired by Rep. Danny Nadeau (34A) and the parliamentarian was Rep. Harry Niska (31A). One of the kickoff speakers to the event was Globalist RINO Tom Emmer who said “losing is not an option”... If Emmer truly thought that, why would he force CD2 Republicans to run a carpetbagging RINO like Joe Teirab who went on to lose to Angie Craig by over 13 points? 

Bias appeared to be amidst when Nadeau falsely claimed that it takes a 2/3rds vote to overrule his rulings. As this clearly not being adherent to Roberts Rules of Order, it was challenged by the body and corrected by Parliamentarian Niska. Many delegates thought Nadeau and Niska were generally fair and adherent to the rules during the entire convention.

A resolution was passed that demanded transparency from Hann surrounding the Wyoming-based mystery company called 1972-10 that the MNGOP has given tens of thousands of dollars to. Due to Wyoming laws, the ownership and other knowledge of this company has been kept secret. Some rumors have connected this company to a former MNGOP Deputy Chair turned "White Dude for Kamala". See resolution below:

Hann then gave a ten minute campaign speech to the body in response where he said absolutely nothing and did not disclose anything about 1972-10.

The State Central body sent a message by completely throwing out the Nominations Committee’s corrupt report, thus, allowing Bret Bussman to compete in the Chair race despite the NomCom labeling him “Disqualified”. As we’ve reported, the NomCom was weaponized by the establishment with puppet Aaron Farris as the chair. Farris then accused Action 4 Liberty of leaking information, then he leaked the information himself like the hypocrite he is! We know that our reporting on that story led to delegates fighting this and winning.

Totals for the Chair race can be found in our previous article.

Walter Hudson, who has held himself out to be a grassroots liberty champion, instead endorsed establishment RINO David Hann, who had sought to squash the grassroots. Walter gave embarrassing nominating speeches for RINO David Hann and then appeared on stage again after his boss was fired by the body so he could nominate Kip Christianson. While Walter engaged in petty disputes with grassroots Patriots on X and played cover for RINO candidates, the grassroots was busy replacing them! In one speech by Hudson, he claimed that there was someone in the convention room who leads an organization that wants a weak MNGOP, hinting that A4L President Erik Mortensen did not want to see a Republican party FIGHT to restore our God-given freedoms! Perhaps Erik Mortensen doesn't want RINOs who backstab the grassroots in charge of the party! Walter's vagueness and absurd claim furthers his journey toward obscurity.

The results for the first round of voting for Deputy Chair was as follows:

144 - Kip Christianson

107 - Donna Bergstrom

84 - Fred Hage

3 - Blank

Fred Hage did not endorse any candidate in his concession speech and that resulted in a razor thin margin of victory for Donna Bergstrom in the second round of voting. Donna defeated RINO David Hann’s hand-selected candidate, weirdo Kip Christianson by just 5 votes. The results were as follows:

167 - Donna Bergstrom

162 - Kip Christianson

While both candidates were fundamentally flawed and not aligned with the mission of liberty, the defeat of Kip was a final blow to the establishment’s desired outcome. David Hann, Kip Chrisitanson, and Walter Hudson all emerge from this State Central as major losers who should treat today’s results as a learning opportunity.

The MNGOP Secretary race was also a massive fight which determined whether the body preferred elections or selections. After Ed Gross failed to get 30 signatures and Alec Beck dropped out, Joy Orvis was unopposed until Erik van Mechelen announced a run and collected the signatures of over 30 delegates. As a former Secretary of State candidate and hardcore election integrity activist, van Mechelen presented a strong case with his documentation and in conversation with delegates but was not allowed to speak after a standing vote. While some delegates likely voted against his allowance out of being pooped, they should perhaps take their delegate roles more seriously and allow a proper election be held. Erik van Mechelen provided a perfect example of the MNGOP keeping grassroots Patriots out of the movement. Joy Orvis faced zero competition and should be watched like a hawk during critical votes on the State Executive Committee.

The MNGOP appears to be heading in a more conservative direction thanks to delegates who accepted the task of sitting through a mind-numbingly boring State Central meeting and canned David Hann! The RINOs can feel that the grassroots are onto their games and they can’t hide anymore! There were plenty of wins and losses for all sides at today’s event, which shows that the battle for liberty is still underway. Action 4 Liberty will continue leading on this forefront and give Patriots fact-based, liberty-centered reporting that cannot be found anywhere else.

In a highly anticipated event, the MNGOP State Central Committee met today (Saturday, December 14th) and held elections for Chair, Deputy Chair, and Secretary. After years of destroying the MNGOP, Action 4 Liberty can finally report that David Hann has been removed from power!

RINO David Hann has led the MNGOP in a divisive, anti-grassroots direction and the State Central delegates have punished him by stripping him of his power! From screwing over Otter Tail delegates to the mystery Wyoming company 1972-10 getting tens of thousands of dollars to Hann’s opposition to endorsed candidates to the countless failed promises and beyond, Hann has proven himself to be an awful leader for the MNGOP.

David Hann was defeated by former RNC Committeeman Alex Plechash during the third round of voting. See results below:

The results for the first round of Chair was as follows:

140 - David Hann

86 - Alex Plechash

84 - Bret Bussman

37 - Mike Murphy

1 - Spoiled

The results of the second round for Chair were as follows:

153 - David Hann

114 - Alex Plechash

80 - Bret Bussman

1 - Blank

Following the second round of voting, Bussman was eliminated and he endorsed Alex Plechash in his concession speech. The results of the third and final round of voting were not read to the body.

Alex Plechash will have an uphill battle to unify a Republican party that has betrayed its voters and principles. We have previously reported on some of the downfalls and shortcomings of Plechash, including his role in backstabbing Otter Tail delegates. He will have to correct course with the grassroots and fight for the anti-establishment, MAGA agenda that conservatives desperately want. Action 4 Liberty is not under the illusion that the war for liberty is won BUT the battle against David Hann has been won!

Action 4 Liberty made tens of thousands of calls in the fall of 2021, mobilized thousands of grassroots Patriots to go to caucus, and got tons of people to run for state central delegate seats in 2023 which has now culminated to #CanTheHann!

Note - More detailed reporting on the State Central event and other races will be provided in future reporting.

While Democrats have cheered on the lawfare and weaponization of the judicial system against President Trump, the state House and Senate Dems in MN have criminals in their own ranks and are now giving them promotions!

Rep. Brion Curran (HD36B), who once described herself on her website as a “She/Her”, a “Gay They” on her twitter, and now apparently a “They/She”, was charged with a DWI in October of 2023 (see our previous reporting on this here). Apparently being a former cop didn’t teach Curran the laws well enough, and she should be fully aware of gender now that she has been processed as a FEMALE convict. After facing a competitive primary and narrow general election victory in this swing district, Democrats are hoping to cover up Curran’s past with her newly elected leadership position of Assistant Leader! See below:

As Democrats have lost ground up and down the ballot, they are doubling down on their woke, socialist, big government, alphabet mafia agenda instead of realigning with where everyday people are at. One has to wonder how effective Curran would be in this role considering the low level of respect that she likely garners. Read the full list of legislative Democrat leadership posts here. 

This promotion is a desperate attempt by Democrats to hold a swing district and rebrand Curran as some kind of strong leader. The deception may fool some but most will see through this pathetic attempt by Democrats. The Democrats will likely carve out more spending and projects for Curran to look busy with for her district while she is only concerned with growing her own power.

Democrats have destroyed Minnesota and they show no signs of slowing down. This is a clear sign that they want nothing to change despite the Republicans holding half of the House seats. Republicans are going to have to fight tooth and nail if they want to shrink government and deliver for ‘We The People’. Action 4 Liberty will remain on the frontlines to provide Patriots with that information.

The MNGOP State Central Committee meeting, taking place tomorrow (Saturday, December 14th) which will hold elections for party officer races including Chair, Deputy Chair, and Secretary. Action 4 Liberty has been at the forefront of reporting the corruption of the MNGOP and this has extended from exposing RINO party officer candidates to a Nominations Committee (NomCom) that appears to be doing failed Chair David Hann’s bidding. In essence, a NomCom is a group of party insiders who often think they know better than the average delegate and have the power to deem candidates “Qualified”, “Qualified with Reservations”, and “Unqualified”.

As we previously reported, Aaron Farris is an establishment puppet who was likely selected as Chair of the NomCom because he has proven that has zero principles and will do as he is told. His shameful reign as CD1 Chair includes the ousting of Patriot Wendy Phillips from her State Exec. Committee role because she provided herself as a neutral chair for Otter Tail’s 2024 BPOU Convention. As Hann’s CD1 do-boy, Farris forced her out; Interestingly, Deputy Chair candidate Kip Chrisitanson was a “Sergeant at Arms” at that meeting and helped kick out Wendy’s supporters. 

Now, rumors are speculating about how the NomCom will tilt the scale to help RINO David Hann maintain a position he has been a disaster at. Unconfirmed rumors say that Hann will be found “Qualified”, Mike Murphy and Alex Plechash will be found “Qualified with Reservations”, and Bret Bussman will be found “Disqualified” (a power the NomCom does not have) which means he would not have the right to speak at the Convention and compete for Chair. 

Bret Bussman had 42 signatures from State Central delegates in support of his campaign (needed 30) and completed all necessary paperwork in order to run but was stalled after Aaron Farris’ panties got tied in a knot over Bussman’s previous failure to turn in a cable tv box in 1984, which Aaron and the anti-liberty MNGOP lawyer Reid LeBeau somehow confused as a felony! As a result, Bussman’s interview with the NomCom was cancelled but was eventually held. In an email Aaron sent on December 8th, he seems to indicate that an “inappropriate breach” of personal information was sent to A4L. See below:

In an unexpected turn of events, Aaron Farris became the leaker himself! Aaron Farris, seemingly without the knowledge or consent of Bret Bussman, released the entire audio of Bussman’s NomCom interview on the CD1 GOP Youtube channel! Could Aaron be any more of a hypocrite? He is the reason that the names of the NomCom are publicly available, not Action 4 Liberty! See his email from yesterday (12/12/24 6:04PM) that leaked the audio below:

CD4 Chair Michelle Manke sounded wound up and emotional on the call as she nagged on about her distaste of Action 4 Liberty and how she was “PISSED” about information leaking! Manke should blame Aaron Farris for her tantrum being available publicly! She attempted to chastise Bussman for appearing on The Truth Hurts, even stating she would not do so herself, to which he stated that he would go on any program that allows him to push the Republican platform. Manke went on to claim that A4L blows everything out of proportion and spreads lies while providing zero examples. Action 4 Liberty exists because of RINOs and failed “leaders” like Manke who prefer social club politics over spearheading battles for liberty.

Aaron exposed the NomCom as the biased insiders some of them clearly are by releasing this full audio tape. Lukas Severson asked Bussman if he had volunteered at the A4L State Fair booth in 2022, as if helping a popular, anti-Tim Walz booth would be a bad thing! Obvious bias could also be found when Vicki Ernst asked Bret, in a desperate attempt to vilify the 1984 cable tv box debacle, if he had ever been charged with a crime or if he had been arrested in simple yes or no answers so that he couldn’t explain it. Of course she almost certainly was already aware of the circumstances and in turn looked petty and under-handed.

The tone and attitude of several NomCom members made it extremely clear that this was not a group of unbiased and neutral actors, instead it is a group of individuals with strong opinions and their own self-interests in the qualification status of party officer candidates.

One point of contention in the interview was between Bussman and Farris on whether Bret’s failure to disclose the cable tv box story on purpose or if done unintentionally. Bret contends in the interview that it was completely accidental. Farris alludes to some taped audio he has of Bret, suggesting that Bret stated on a previous call that he did not think the crime was relevant. This audio was never played and Bret stood by his claim that this was not intentionally left off of his application.

A point of interest for Action 4 Liberty was when Bussman distanced himself from A4L and stated that he had a conversation with A4L President Erik Mortensen about not being so much of a bomb-thrower and some stylistic concerns however Mortensen denies these conversations took place. Unfortunately for Bret, the only way to win in politics is to fight and this released audio makes that perfectly clear. We demand high expectations out of leaders and that will stand regardless of who wins on Saturday.

Action 4 Liberty is the leader for the conservative grassroots in the modern information war. While the Establishment exposes themselves as frauds with Aaron’s release of this audio, Action 4 Liberty will continue to stand where we’ve always stood. In case that isn’t clear, see a recent social media post of our’s that encapsulates this idea perfectly. See below:

In another strange update to provide you with is an email coming from DWI adulterer and left wing propagandist Michael Brodkorb who has endorsed Alex Plechash for MNGOP Chair. Two main theories emerge: 1. Brodkorb is attempting to trick delegates since his endorsement has a negative effect, making delegates believe Hann is more MAGA than Plechash or 2. Brodkorb actually prefers Plechash (which is not entirely unreasonable considering Plechash's anti-MAGA past). While some rumors connect Brodkorb to the MNGOP's mystery recipient of tens of thousands of dollars called 1972-10, it would seem obvious that his choice would be Hann. Of course, Brodkorb is savvy enough to know that attaching Kamala onto Plechash will hurt him but his intended confusion signifies the issues with current leadership options between Hann and Plechash. This could very well be a dirty attempt by Hann to muddy up the waters at the last minute. See email below:

Also, RNC Chair Michael Whatley has decided to endorse David Hann for reelection, proving that he may end up being no better than Ronna Romney McDaniel. Whatley also endorsed Plechash for RNC Committeeman over AK Kamara, proving that the RNC still favors establishment incumbents over new voices. Whatley has just made himself a major opponent of the liberty movement in Minnesota and it will not be forgotten. See endorsement below:

Donald Trump dominated the 2024 presidential election and dragged Republicans into majorities in the U.S. House & Senate, but what should concern Minnesota Republicans is who is in control of their own Republican Party - the MNGOP.

At this Saturday’s State Central Convention, control of the state party is on the line.  No doubt current chair, David Hann, is being recommended by the nomination committee without reservation, despite failing to deliver on his promises to win Minnesota’s 10 Electoral College votes for Trump, losing both CD2 & CD3 by double-digit margins, not flipping the MN House and not defending the GOP endorsed candidates in the August primaries.

Kip Christianson, candidate for MNGOP Deputy Chair and establishment operator, went on the Jack Tomczack Podcast December 8 singing the praises of Globilist RINO Tom Emmer saying, “The Tom Emmer Machine was instrumental in getting the party out of debt,” referring to securing President Trump as the keynote speaker at May’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner. 

Kip went on to say, “I believe convictedly that the most supportive thing I can do for Whip Emmer is build this party into something where we have a much more effective operation in the state. There at the same time there are people that do not want the party to be effective, that do not want that world to exist.”

Kip is unaffectionately referring to the CD2 delegation letting their displeasure known of Emmer’s meddling in the CD2 race at May’s State Convention. 

Emmer may be the whip in D.C., but he is not a part of CD2. Nor was his chosen candidate, Joe Teirab, who was crushed by Angie Craig by over 13 points after his loss in the CD2 endorsement to Tayler Rahm. Teirab refused to respect the party’s endorsement even after committing to do so, slapping CD2 delegates in the face. 

Kip even boldly referred to himself as being of the grassroots on Jack Tomczack’s podcast. Then in the next breath shames the activists from CD2 for standing up to Emmer.

If there is any hope for a true conservative party of Republicans in the state of Minnesota, it must be led by the most absolute grassroots candidates and supporters. 

The future of CD2’s next candidate is still up for grabs. Is there a low-profile military veteran quietly moving in to establish residency well in advance of the endorsement convention who quietly attends galas and fundraisers working the tables of establishment leadership?

If Emmer has anything to say about it, I’d bet the deals are already being made. And yet another reason why liberty lovers need to get involved NOW to protect the grassroots.

I often hear people talk about the need to heal (or unite) the Republican Party. That sounds great, but how is this possible? The Republican Party can only unite if we have the same agenda, the same goal, and the same vision, if not we will always be divided. Division (di-vision) is the result of having two-visions, which is where the Party is at. Below are the two separate and distinct visions that currently exists in the Republican Party.

GRASSROOT CONSERVATIVES

This faction of the Party is actually conservative, and their goal is to conserve the founding principles of limited government and Godly morals. They fight for lower taxes, fewer regulations, individual liberties, personal responsibility, traditional family values, and the sanctity of life. They also want to restore honesty and integrity in government and re-establish free and fair elections.

ESTABLISHMENT CLASS

This faction of the Party claims to be conservative, and they espouse the same values and principles, however they don’t fight for these things. The donor class bankrolls and controls the politicians, and the politicians fight to pass legislation that will benefit their donors. They’re not interested in restoring honesty and integrity in government because they themselves are corrupt. They deny that elections are stolen because they themselves are involved in stealing elections. This group would rather have a Democrat in office than a conservative Republican that threatens to expose the corruption and end the gravy train that they’ve been accustomed to. This faction of the Republican Party is more inline with their colleagues across aisle than they are with conservative grassroot Republicans; thus, the acronym R.I.N.O. Republican In Name Only is not merely an insulting slur, but it’s an accurate description of who these people are. You will know them by their fruit, not by who they claim to be!

This 2nd group, the establishment class, has an agenda that is antithetical to that of the grassroots conservatives, which makes it impossible to unify the two factions. The Establishment are much fewer in number, however many of them are in leadership. Therefore, the only solution is for the grassroots to remove the existing leaders and replace them with individuals who actually have a conservative vision for our state and our country.

Amos 3:3 Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?

The first one to go must be Chair David Hann who has divided our Party, disenfranchised grassroots Republicans, and silenced conservatives in Ottertail County and throughout the state of MN. He has repeatedly acted outside the Constitution of the State Party and the rules and regulations that govern the Party. There is a long train of abuse and usurpations that Hann has engaged in. It has been absolute despotism with him at the helm of the Party. It is the duty of the Mn State Central delegates to throw off such tyrannical governance and select a new leader. It is abundantly clear that Hann has no interest in seeing truth, justice, or transparency prevail. The history of his leadership is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, you have reigned with absolute Tyranny over the delegates. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to Republicans across MN:

It is the Party (not you) who retains the complete and total right and control of which entities it recognizes as the official political subdivision of the Republican Party of Minnesota. You "David Hann" are not "The Party", and you are not the final arbiter. The State delegates, whom you silenced at the most recent State convention, are the highest authority in the Party. Had you, and the tyrants who ran the State Convention, allowed the delegates to vote they would have chosen the 2024 OTC delegates as the legitimate subdivision. You handpicked the chair and the parliamentary to run roughshod over the delegates at the State Convention.

It is the responsibility of the MNGOP Chair to make sure the people across the State of Minnesota, who embrace the platform of the Republican Party, have a voice in the direction of the Party, and in the choosing of candidates for endorsement. Chair Hann has become destructive of these ends. It is time for him to be removed as chair of the Republican Party of MN.

Hann has worked alongside the Leadership of the Otter Tail County BPOU.

In 2022 he turned a blind eye to the fact that the OTC leadership added several unelected delegates and alternates after caucus night to empower themselves, and to procure the endorsement for their chosen candidate. He helped the OTC BPOU cover up their nefarious actions. In the process you have disenfranchised hundreds of Republican supporters in OTC.

In 2023 he helped the OTC Leadership unlawfully suspend several duly elected delegates and alternates. He worked with the local BPOU to once again disenfranchise grassroot Republicans by preventing them from participating in the annual BPOU Convention.

In 2024 he worked with the OTC Executive Committee in planning and strategizing a covert operation to make sure the 2024 OTC Caucus would not be accepted. Both he and the OTC leadership knew the establishment would be severely outnumbered, which is why an elaborate scheme was planned to sabotage the Caucus proceedings in order to maintain power.

"In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the Chair of the Republican Party."
