You might think you are the only person on your block that is pro 2nd Amendment, but when you go to the MN Gun Owners Caucus Rally Day you’ll find out you aren’t the only one. You’ll be in a sea of pro 2A gun owners and State Legislators. You might actually see one of your neighbors who goes all “Gray Man” in public and is a huge 2A Supporter.

It’s a great Networking Event.

For more information on this event please visit the Event Notice on the MN Gun Owners Caucus website link here.

The Keynote Speaker at the Rally is Kostas Moros who is the Director of Legal Research and Education for the Second Amendment Foundation. Bryan Strawser of the MN Gun Owners Caucus is on the Board of Trustees with the Second Amendment Foundation.

This event takes place on the Eastern Edge of House District 66B. We like to post events everyone can attend inside our House District as it promotes our neighborhoods and the District itself.

Barb Linert used to be the Office Manager for the MNGOP HQ when it was a block away from the State Capitol Building. She along with the “Joel C’s” (two staffers whose first name was Joel and their last names started with the letter C) and others ran an efficient office where one could get answers right away without having to wait weeks for someone to respond like one did in the years after from 2013-2017.

Barb Linert launched her book on February 21st. She is the author and illustrator of the book.

If you can’t make it to the event on Tuesday, she will be doing an interview with Jack Tomczak on the Patriot 1280 AM this Saturday March 14th from 3-5 pm.

What:  Barb Linert Author Interview by Jack Tomczak

Be a Block Captain in Your Precinct

Leave a comment

At the BPOU Convention in March, please consider being a Block Captain in your precinct. The lowest level of an organized political unit is at the block level. In order for a Local Party Unit (bpou) to operate well it needs functional precinct activity. To have functional precinct activity you need Block Captains.

Duties of a Block Captain

Here are some duties a Block Captain can do.

  • Know who lives on your block in terms of political leanings, hobbies, if they have children, do they request political yard signs, other affiliations
  • Help the Precinct Officers put together precinct activities
  • Help put up yard signs
  • Help with Neighbor-to-Neighbor activities
  • Put together a Block Club
  • Learn about local issues affecting the neighborhood and or precinct
  • Organize a neighborhood watch group
  • Do neighbor activities to help out neighbors (cut grass, shovel sidewalks, do gardening)
  • Do civic duties such as clean the fire hydrants and bus stop locations free of snow
  • Pick up trash in your block
  • Report potholes to St Paul Public Works
Block Captains can clean off snow from bus stops, shovel sidewalks for neighbors who can’t. Essentially live your beliefs, be a good neighbor, be a good citizen, and be the friendly face of the HD 66B Republicans.

You can do some of those activities by enlisting others to help you. If you’re doing them all that would be above and beyond fantastic. If you do some of them that would be enough. The idea is you don’t need to be elected to do this, unless there are more than one person on your block, if so share the responsibilities.

You don’t have to wait until the BPOU Convention, or a specific date to become a Block Captain/Leader. Just contact mnhd66brepublicans@gmail.com with the subject line “Block Captain” in order to be a Block Captain of your block or Apartment Complex, or to ask questions about it. We’ll honor Block Captains by mentioning them at the Convention.

Thank you ahead of time for enlisting to help on the block level.

This post was published on February 24, 2022. It’s important to have some level of organization in ones precincts in order to get out the vote and to identify issues that neighbors in neighborhoods want addressed. All Politics are local, and if you ignore local politics you alienate the voters in your district.  — admin
