http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/tag_rss/Denise+Cardinal  Republican Gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer responded to a new ad being run by Alliance for a Better Minnesota Action Fund today by trying to explain that he was asked to support a bill lessening DWI penalties by a group of prosecutors and showing a video where he talks vaguely about making a mistake -- but not mentioning he himself received two drunk driving convictions. "It is insulting that Tom Emmer is trying to explain away his record by blaming others for proposing the law he put his name on," said Denise Cardinal, Executive Director of Alliance for a Better Minnesota Action Fund. "Then Emmer shows a three-month-old online video of himself talking vaguely about mistakes and negative campaigning but never specifically addresses why he sponsored a law that lessens penalties for drunk drivers. Furthermore, in the video he never apologizes." Cardinal added that Emmer needs to answer some questions: "When he says he's made mistakes -- what is he talking about? The first drunk driving arrest or his second drunk driving arrest or both? Or about introducing legislation last year that would delay and lessen penalties for drunk driving? None of this is clear in his response and Minnesotans deserve to know." To see the ad ABM is airing on this, you can go to http://ABetter.MN/LightAd The ad is running for two weeks statewide. The buy is more than $500,000 for that duration. More information about Emmer’s record can be found at:  http://TomEmmersMN.org and http://EmmerTruth.MN .

In Minnesota, and nationwide, radical right-wing rage is occupying the front pages, websites and nightly broadcast of media outlets nationwide.  Begala will discuss the problems with this right-wing strategy, his experience, and the next chapter in the move to health insurance reform with a Minnesota perspective. The call is open to Minnesota-based media and bloggers. For dial-in information, contact Denise Cardinal, ABM Executive Director at denise@allianceminnesota.org . (TV stations wanting an on-camera interview can contact Denise).

The ABM home base is a state-of-the-art website designed and maintained by Blue State Digital through the national ProgressNow network of organizations. http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BMG http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BMG/commentary#comments Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:21:42 EDT http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BMG Xavier Xavier 0 http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/comment_rss/BMG/ After yesterday's rally celebrating the end of the 2008 elections and welcoming Minnesota's second Senator, Al Franken, Denise Cardinal, ABM's Executive Director, shared the following note: Yesterday, a huge crowd of Minnesotans came out and joined Keith Ellison, Betty McCollum, and Amy Klobuchar to finally welcome Minnesota's second Senator to the job. In case you couldn't make it, here are a couple of photos: Now that the wait for our second Senator is over, the real work begins.  During Senator Franken's speech, he called on Minnesotans to keep organizing and to keep holding their elected officials accountable. Well, Alliance for a Better Minnesota plans on doing just that. Over the next few years, we are going to face many challenges -- including restoring the economy to make it work for middle-class families again, reforming our broken health care system, and solving the climate crisis. We expect all of our elected officials, including Senator Franken, to fight for working families and not the special interests; to fight quality, affordable health care for every American; to fight for good-paying green jobs that can't be shipped overseas; and to fight for an education system that truly leaves no child behind. It won't be easy, but with your continued support, we can rebuild the middle class and create a better Minnesota for working families. Thank you, Denise Cardinal Executive Director Alliance for a Better Minnesota Want to support our work?  Consider making a contribution to help build a stronger progressive movement here in Minnesota. http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BvH http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BvH/commentary#comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:48:26 EDT http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BvH Xavier Xavier 0 http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/comment_rss/BvH/ Denise Cardinal, Executive Director of Alliance for a Better Minnesota, released the following statement in reaction to the news of today's FEC ruling: Now that the FEC has ruled on this matter, the people of Minnesota would like to know the truth about the FBI investigation and lawsuits concerning former Senator Coleman. We deserve to know if the allegations made in affidavits stating $100,000 was funneled by his friend and donor Nasser Kazeminy are true. Hundreds of Minnesotans submitted comments to the FEC on this matter, encouraged by ABM which filed complaints on the matter with the FEC, the FBI and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics. http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BvX http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BvX/commentary#comments Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:45:14 EDT http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BvX Xavier Xavier 0 http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/comment_rss/BvX/ Last week, Governor Tim Pawlenty announced the first round of budget cuts and unallotments.  He's been trying to play them off as no big deal, but his proposals don't fix the problems that lead to the state's record budget deficit. Instead, his proposals cut jobs, throw Minnesotans off health care (while increasing premiums for the rest of us), raise taxes on renters, and make it harder for working families to send their kids to college. It doesn't have to be like this-- a one-day special session could save jobs, keep thousands of Minnesotans out of emergency rooms, and keep class sizes down across the state . From ABM's Executive Director, Denise Cardinal: Boot hockey tournaments, wild rice, state fair foods on a stick, Joe Mauer behind the plate and snoopy statues are just some of the things that make our state "above average." On Tuesday, Governor Tim Pawlenty went after some of the core services that make up another great part of our state. He chose to cut thousands of people off of health care, slash aid to cities used for police and firefighters, and gut higher education instead of working with the balanced budget provided by the legislature. It doesn't have to be like this--we need to step up now to defend the Minnesota we all know and love. Go to the Defend Minnesota Action Center right now to push back against Tim Pawlenty, and those standing by his side, as he continues to make these reckless cuts to essential programs. All of our voices are needed to call for a special session. Pawlenty didn't get us into this mess by himself. Pawlenty vetoed the balanced budget plan and every single state Republican supported him, leaving our state in a deficit. Then, Pawlenty headed to Washington, D.C. for a string of public appearances to stir up talk about his presidential ambitions. Tim Pawlenty may be more concerned about his political future, but we need to let him know we expect him to represent the state that elected him. http://www.DefendMinnesota.com We need all of our voices calling for a special session NOW to get Governor Pawlenty's attention. He needs to come together with the Legislature for a one-day special session. A special session could save tens of thousands of jobs, keep thousands of Minnesotans out of emergency rooms, and keep class sizes down across our state. Join me in defending the "above average" Minnesota that we all love. Take action here.

ABM will highlight that the essential services that even “tea party” protestors use and enjoy, do not grow on trees—our taxes pay for them. Americans United for Change and the US Public Interest Research Group (USPIRG) will be releasing a shocking report detailing the exploitation of tax loopholes by financial institutions like Citigroup and Bank of America, and the cost to Minnesota’s tax payers.

Jeff Rosenberg over at MNPublius caught this from Norm Coleman's appearance on the Rachel Maddow show: I’m not saying, by the way, that this court was a partisan court.  You had three trial court judges. They looked at the ballots in front of them. They made determinations about what they felt were legally cast ballots. You'll remember, of course, that the Coleman campaign spent a lot of energy attempting to frame the recount as a partisan process, despite the Secretary of State taking every precaution to ensure a fair election under Minnesota law. But Coleman's political future may depend on more than just the outcome of his appeals. Norm Coleman insisted Thursday that he and his wife, Laurie, have done nothing wrong. The former U.S. senator was talking about a Texas lawsuit’s claim that a campaign donor funneled the Colemans $75,000 disguised as a business transaction... The FEC has also not made any public response to a complaint filed later in December by the Alliance for a Better Minnesota, which asked the commission to rule on what the Alliance called Coleman’s violation of federal election law . The alliance last year asked for investigations into the money-funneling claims by the Senate ethics committee and the FBI. News last December that the FBI has launched a probe preceded Coleman’s announcement about the FEC request by a few days. This week, the alliance’s executive director, Denise Cardinal, told MnIndy that she had received a flurry of calls from reporters in Washington, D.C., about the complaint, but she has no news from the FEC. Interest in the Texas lawsuit, which was filed last October, was revived last week on news of sworn testimony by a second former executive from Deep Marine Techology Inc. B.J. Thomas claimed Kazeminy had demanded in 2007 that the company make a series of $25,000 payments to Hays Companies, a St. Paul insurance firm where Laurie Coleman works. Kazeminy, the executives claim, gave the order in the context of a comment that “United States senators don’t make shit.” Time to give it up, Norm . Give it all up. http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BtX http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BtX/commentary#comments Fri, 03 Apr 2009 13:39:13 EDT http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/post/xavier/BtX Xavier Xavier 0 http://allianceminnesota.org/page/community/comment_rss/BtX/ Yesterday, our state leaders announced the state's projected budget deficit for the 2010-2011 fiscal year--4.57 billion dollars.  The deficit would have been even larger, were it not for the federal aid passed as part of President Obama's economic recovery package , a package which Governor Pawlenty frequently appeared on national talk shows to oppose. Although Gov. Pawlenty has said he would accept federal economic recovery money, his proposed budget doesn't reflect the priorities of Minnesota's working families. Denise Cardinal, ABM's Executive Director, sent out this message a few minutes ago, asking folks to ask Governor Pawlenty to use the " Recipe for Success " to solve our budget crisis. New state budget numbers released yesterday show that our already bleak picture is getting worse. Thankfully, President Obama's economic recovery package will shrink our growing deficit from a now-projected $6.16 billion to $4.57 billion.  Of course, Governor Pawlenty has offered one-time budget gimmicks and accounting shifts as a "solution" while he weighs a re-election campaign or higher national office. But our state's long-term economic recovery depends less on the ins and outs of political posturing, and more on how we get Minnesota on track to grow today and in the future. We need him, and our legislative leaders, to use our recipe for economic success. Join other Minnesotans in calling on state leaders to support our recipe for economic security, fairness and opportunity.   Pawlenty's plan calls for deep cuts to the services we need for long-term growth, like education and health care. It's obvious the last six years of  his "solutions" are just not working.  Our recipe for success includes: Create and keep good-paying jobs that have a future Provide all Minnesotans access to health care Create a fair tax structure Keep Minnesota families in their homes Enforce corporate accountability Read more about our solutions and call on our leaders to support a comprehensive solution. These solutions will help us build for the future as we work to create an economy that works for all Minnesotans and keeps the things that make our state great. Send a message to state leaders today.

Denise Cardinal, ABM's Executive Director, supplied the tater tot hot dish and I'm told the meatballs were delicious. Here's Denise's email about her hot dish and the recipe for Minnesota's economic success : Dear Friend, Governor Pawlenty flew around the state in his plane today while I served up tater tot hot dish and meatballs in a church basement with other progressive organizations, like Take Action Minnesota, SEIU Health Care, Minnesota 2020, ISAIAH, and the Blue-Green Alliance in unveiling Minnesota's Recipe for Economic Security, Fairness, and Opportunity. Read the Recipe For Economic Security, Fairness, and Opportunity. With the economy in such dire straights, the Governor and lawmakers need to be focused on more than just getting in a news story or on Fox News Sunday.  We need to be positioning Minnesota to come out of this crisis stronger and better prepared for the future. These set of principals for the budget will help us build for the future and an economy that works for all Minnesotans. Submit Your Recipe For Economic, Security, Fairness, and Opportunity. Governor Pawlenty's proposed cuts only increase the strain on Minnesotans struggling in this economy. Our priorities address the long-term needs of our state. I hope you'll read about them on our website, submit some of your ideas and sign the recipe card. http://www.MNRecipeForSuccess.com We need to let Pawlenty know that in church basements around this state, people care less about what he said on Fox News Sunday and more about how he's helping get our state back on track.
