New Year 2012 Message
Posted on 28 December 2011 December 28, 2011
December is host to a number of significant holidays. While the weather may be a bit chilly, it is a time to concentrate on the warmth of relationships. It is a time to really focus on family, friends, and celebrations. It is a time to reflect on our religious heritage, all that has transpired this year and plans for the coming year. Wishing you joy and peace this Holiday Season.
As we prepare for the new year, please know that we can make some significant changes to the Minnesota Legislature in 2012 by electing candidates who want to protect hard-working people, protect the vulnerable and protect our children. It is important to elect legislators who want to see a successful Minnesota future that leaves a legacy for generations to come.
Winning the election will take a lot of effort and money. Our campaign has already been working towards that goal this year.
