Not sure if the little one in pink is old enough to vote, but boy is that a cute photo!

You are right on that! Molly she is absolutely precious. Her first voting experience!
Amy Paddock November 9, 2011 at 03:05 pm
Oh she did, by "Parental Proxy".

Research the cost of tattoo removal before getting one. You may grow our of it someday. SomeRead More employers have rules about visible tattoos which may inhibit your future career goals. Some employers have been successful with clearly written and enforced policies in not hiring individuals with visible tattoos for public contact positions. Employers with badly written or no policies may have problems leading to potential court challenges but suing you way into a company is not likely to be successful.

Steve Simon's achievements as Chair of the House Elections Committee include HF894 signed byRead More Governor Dayton. One feature of the statute is that any eligible Minnesota voter can vote absentee either by mail or in person. Same day registration still applies. Prior legislation required checking one of a list of acceptable reasons. You can legally vote early by mailed absentee ballot or in person. This will be especially helpful to new parents, or individuals with health problems or seniors who may not easily stand in line or anticipate foul weather. Curbside voting is also available for in person absentee balloting.

Steve Simon's achievements as Chair of the House Elections Committee include HF894 signed byRead More Governor Dayton. Another feature of the legislation, also having bipartisan support, provides for filling nomination vacancies prior to elections. Nominees cannot withdraw or be removed from the ballot due to scandal. If a nominee drops out more than 79 days prior to an election due to death or disability the party selects a new nominee according to its party rules. If a nominee drops out within 79 days of a general election due to death or disability there is an automatic special election 91 days after election day with the party selecting a new nominee again according to its party rules. In the tragic death of Senator Paul Wellstone there was a chaotic scramble to replace him on the ballot. This legislation provides for an orderly replacement process for elections governed by Minnesota statute. Again thanks to Rep. Steve Simon for the hard work garnering bipartisan support for needed election reforms.

Simon's itching for Secretary of State has nothing to do with serving the public. The DemocratRead More Party in this state is much like the Soviet Poliburo of old... pack every office with a hack sycophant. Dayton and the Democrat Party want to make sure they can overrule fair elections, just like Ritchie has done in the past. Only in St. Louis Park could Simon get elected for his senate seat with his "loyal" constituency.
