This Sunday is Mother’s Day and we would like to thank all the mothers out there for being there at every step of life.  You’ve nurtured, supported, and loved us.  You’ve made us into the people we are today.

#ProLifeSunday Thanks to Mothers

There aren’t enough flowers and presents to say thank you to mothers.

We House District 66B Republicans celebrate the entire family. We include Fathers, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers & Sisters & Cousins, Friends & Colleagues.   Our extended families have helped us grow in areas that our parents may have overlooked, or helped us to relate to our parents to know that they were once like us at one point in the past.

Cutting any part of the family out of the picture diminishes the resources one can draw upon.

While there might be a number of fantastic mothers who vote for Democrat candidates, we have to take issue with them because they support the destruction of life during a pregnancy.  They support Planned Parenthood, a taxpayer supported organization that draws upon the tenets of Eugenics that were supported by their founder Margaret Sanger and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg who had been their attorney, as well as Senator Tina Smith who used to be a Vice President of MN Planned Parenthood.  Eugenics derived from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and the idea of “survival of the fittest.”  Sanger believed that there are certain undesirables in the human population.

Happy Mother's Day

To end on a positive note we would like to thank all the Pro-life Mothers serving as legislators in the Minnesota State Legislature.

Happy Mother’s Day

It is a different sort of Mother’s Day this year since Roe v Wade has been overturned by the US Supreme Court and extreme abortion has been passed into law in Minnesota by party line votes. This article is reposted from saintpaulrepublicans.us and was edited for this site by permission. — admin

2025 #ProLifeSunday Friends & Colleagues Day October 19th

Leave a comment

Why Celebrate a day for Friends & Colleagues?

On an average day you spend a third of your day with your colleagues at work and friends give you advice and give you some breathing space in forms of athletic outings or fun activities. Let’s face it not everyone is married and friends are the life line for many single people. Paul had Barnabas, and Jesus had 12 main disciples who were friends and also his colleagues.

Life would be so bland without your friends. So why not say thank you to them for enriching your life?

Charles Schultz the cartoonist who created the Comic Strip, “Peanuts,” was from St Paul MN.

Nationally there are only 3 recognized holidays that bolster the love and admiration of the family: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Grandparents Day. We are the party of Judeo-Christian Family Values. We want to bring attention to the parts of the family that are often forgotten. In July we celebrated Aunts & Uncles, in August we celebrated Brothers Sisters & Cousins, and now we are celebrating our Friends and Colleagues–that other family we spend a third of our day with.

Why on the 3rd Sunday of October?

Well, because we can; but to have at least a full month since Grandparents Day to get ready. Also because the 2nd Sunday is closest to Columbus Day.

Colleagues are at work who share the load of a project. They know you almost as well as your family knows you. They challenge you to do your very best in the work you do. They chip in your contribution for pizza on occasion when they see you are coming up short. Work would be more stressful without good colleagues.

This article was reposted by permission from saintpaulrepublicans.us which has been running this holiday since 2017. It is not the SPRCC, but used to post for them prior to 2014. This was recently reposted on their site on October 6, 2025.

One of the benefits of getting involved in you local party unit is you can network with so many interesting people, locally in your neighborhood, you city, county, state, and sometimes at the national level. You can cement some really lasting friendships with people. So this #ProLifeSunday, call up your friends and co-workers and thank them for a lasting contribution to your life. — admin

2025 #ProLifeSunday Happy Grandparents Day Sept 7th

Marian McQuade might not be a household name, but she was one of two people who helped launch a Holiday to honor Grandparents across the country.

The first was Jacob Reingold. In 1961 during the White House Conference on Aging, Jacob Reingold of Hebrew Home at Riverdale NY, was inspired by a speech about a new image of the aged. So he worked to get a special day for grandparents to be recognized on September 16, 1961 at Hebrew Home. In 1963 it became an official holiday for the borough of the Bronx, NY.

In 1970 Marian McQuade of West Virginia advocated for a special day to recognize grandparents. By 1973 she had worked with business, faith, political and civic leaders to convince Governor Arch Moore to hold the First Grandparents Day in West Virginia.

In 1978 the US Congress proclaimed the first Sunday after Labor Day to be National Grandparents Day. President Jimmy Carter signed the proclamation.

Call Up Your Grandparents to Reconnect

Americans are living longer and the life after retirement seems to become longer as well. Senior Citizens sometimes withdraw from what they used to enjoy when they were working. Their children and grandchildren need to respect and spend more time with them to learn about the triumphs of the past and educate each other as grandparents mentor future generations.  Even if you no longer have living grandparents, older neighbors certainly can benefit from periodic visits from their younger neighbors. You can learn from each other.

Grandparents and Elders have a wealth of knowledge that they’d love to share with their grandchildren and neighbors. Call them or stop by to see them on this #ProLifeSunday.

2024 #ProLifeSunday Brothers Sisters & Cousins Day August 11th

Leave a comment
Call up your brothers, sisters & cousins and thank them for being who they are.

We are continuing the #ProLifeSunday celebration of the family by recognizing where Brothers, Sisters, and Cousins fit into the family. Every part of a family is an important piece of the total picture of happiness and prosperity that God wants for us.

Sometimes things don’t go swimmingly well and usually it stems from sibling rivalries, sibling jealousies, and sibling covetousness of each other. In these cases the parents and other elders of the family have to smooth things out. If they don’t these rumblings turn into deep divides between Brothers & Sisters that drive them away from each other when they become adults.

Learning how to make peace with your brothers, sisters and even your cousins is a microcosm on how to heal the world outside of your home.

Growing up one learns from the lessons, trials and errors learned of dealing with your sisters and brothers.

Brothers, Sisters and Cousins still are interested in you because you have a shared history together. You’ve learned about life together years apart or in the backseat of a Chevy Suburban going to California on a summer vacation.  They sent letters and cookies to you when you were at summer camp or when you were in the military. They beat up a bully at school for you. Taught you to bowl at the local bowling alley, or taught you to play pool in the basement of the Moose lodge before you learned to read.

If you’re unsure of where you stand with your Brothers, Sisters, and Cousins, call them up this Sunday or some time during the week to get back on better terms with them.  Go on, they’ll be glad you were thinking of them.
