Dear Friend,
I've said it before, and I want to say it again: THANK YOU.
We just received word that the Minnesota State Supreme Court has ruled on Norm Coleman's appeal. I wanted to let you know right away, the court upheld our victory in a 5-0 decision.
Paul Wellstone said that successful organizing is based on the recognition that people get organized because they, too, have a vision. He also said that politics only has to do with trying to do right by people.
Throughout this campaign we've shared a vision of a new direction for our country. We know what we want - an economy that works for everyone, universal health care, and to create new jobs through renewable energy investment. As Senator-elect, I intend to take our shared vision of progress to Washington and try to do right by every single Minnesotan.
Please join Joel Clemmer and Senator Marty at Thistles on July 28 for conversation and socialization with other like minded folks who are interested in the state of our Health System.
A presentation of the Minnesota Health Plan will be given by Joel Clemmer and Senator Marty. There will be opportunity to talk with them and get updates on Health Care legislation in Washington and in Minnesota.
Our next Meet and Greet will be July 28 at Thistles and will be a presentation of the Minnesota Health Plan. Joel Clemmer and Senator Marty were recently invited to address us. You may want to ask them what is happening with draft Health Care legislation in Washington..
