There are many Affiliates to the Republican Party of Minnesota. The Republican Seniors of Minnesota is one of them. Often times their monthly email shows up in the inbox and it will announce some interesting guest speakers at their meeting. The problem is it’s usually in the morning on a Tuesday at 9:30 am at the Knights of Columbus/Bloomington Events Center, 1114 American Boulevard West, Bloomington, Map. The best solution to this problem is if they could somehow stream the meeting so one could listen to their monthly guest speakers.
Guess what? They are streaming their meetings and posting their previous meeting videos on their YouTube and Rumble Channels.
September 9th Meeting Guest Speakers
Their September 9th meeting is going to have the 2024 Endorsed MNGOP US Senate Candidate Royce White at it in the first hour. Then they will have Rick Smith from the Sons of the American Revolution afterwards.

Some Recent DFL recipients since Redistricting in 2022:
Senate District 66 DFL in 2022 received $6300. The 3 SD 66 DFL candidates that year were Rep Athena Hollins, Chris “Leigh” Finke, and Clare Oumou Verbeten. The latter 2 were running for the first time for office.
Mostly DFL Party Units for SD 36, 39, 40, 44, 65 and 66
So it is up to you to be wary of this location. With every purchase there you are helping DFLers defeat Republicans in Minnesota.
Retired Career Politician, Phyllis Kahn, DFL stands in front of the “Grandstand” Mini-Donuts.
Now these folks make a lot of money at the state fair from mini-donuts that would make the health conscious zealots cringe. The booth is not marked as the DFLMiniDonutStand, there is no disclaimer on the booth as to where the money of this group goes to.
There ought to be a law that requires them to reveal who they are and where the money goes.
Rep Randy Jessup & Sen Roger Chamberlain tried to Make a Law
Almost every session of the MN State Legislature, there is a bill that Republicans put together that requires groups that raise money at the State Fair or other public events to show on a visible sign where the money goes to. It isn’t making their operation illegal, but they want the customers to have all the information about the vendor before they make a purchase.
During the 2017 Session former Rep Randy Jessup of 42A & former Sen Roger Chamberlain SD 38 had made similar bills that were added to the Omnibus bill. They were not signed into law by then DFL Governor Mark Dayton.
Rep Jessup did say there is a limit on the number of bags of donuts one can purchase–4 bags. Any more than 4 you purchase they will have to make a record of it being a contribution.
They do tell their volunteers who work there to not wear any sort of political statements on their clothes, hats, or even buttons.
This article is just to identify where the DFL Mini-Donut Stand is. This post is by permission from the saintpaulrepublicans.us website. If you don’t want to give money to the DFL to defeat Republican candidates then you can find another Donut Stand, or to Sweet Martha’s Cookies which is nearby. If you are a DFLer and you want to fundraise then that is up to you to. It is just unethical of a party sympathizer to not be open about where their excess money goes. — admin

MISSION & HISTORY
The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is the world’s largest annual wheelchair sports and rehabilitation event solely for military veterans. The event demonstrates the unstoppable character of veterans and seeks to foster wider respect and opportunities for all people with disabilities.
The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is open to all U.S. veterans with spinal cord injuries, amputations, multiple sclerosis, or other central neurological conditions who require a wheelchair for athletic competition. Every year, hundreds of American heroes from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the post-9/11 era compete in this celebration of sport, courage and camaraderie.
EMPOWERING VETERANS SINCE 1981!
The Department of Veterans Affairs launched the Wheelchair Games in 1981 with 7 events and 77 athletes. Paralyzed Veterans of America joined the VA in 1985 to help expand the event’s mission and reach. The Wheelchair Games has flourished as more VA therapists turn to adaptive sports to help veterans become more active in their lives and communities – and, in some cases, reach higher levels of national and international competition. Over the years, thousands of veterans with disabilities have gained the skills, confidence, and experience to take on challenges in the spirit of opportunity rather than limitation.
The last time Minneapolis hosted the event was in 2005.
Republican Booth is #144 Near Gate 2 on the Northeast corner of the area the Hmong International Freedom Festival (HIFF) J4 is at. See the Map below. Gate 2 is near the Eastbound 3A Bus Stop for the Como Park Aquatic Center. Just west of Como-Horton & Lexington Intersection.
J4 as it is known to Hmong as a time to celebrate freedom with family, food, and sports.
It’s that time of year again, the first weekend prior to July 4th, when the Hmong people celebrate freedom at McMurray Fields of St Paul, MN (1151 Jessamine Ave W). Hmong International Freedom Festival J4 Street MapMake a note that there are 2 intersections of Como Avenue & Lexington Ave as seen in the Street Map link. The northern one has Como Avenue on the west side of the intersection and Horton Avenue on the east side. The southern intersection has Como Avenue on the east side of the intersection and Wynne Ave on the western side of the intersection with Lexington. So if you tell someone you’ll meet them at Como & Lexington, tell them which one.
