Andy CilekThe Ramsey County Charter Commission is a major new player on the scene in the debate over funding for a Vikings stadium in Arden Hills.

Ramsey is the only county in the state with a "home rule" charter, essentially a local constitution, that gives the people more control over county government.

Proponents like to call it the Legacy Amendment but the word "legacy" appears nowhere in the Amendment.

Our Main Goals

  • Protect the integrity of the vote through a photo I.D. requirement at the polls.

  • Stop Instant Runoff Voting (IRV).  Despite proponent claims and media reports,  the recent Supreme Court  ruling DID NOT declare IRV to be constitutional.

  • Promote the preservation of our right to elect our Judges, which is now being threatened.

  • Restore partisan-basis municipal elections so each party can be represented.

We need to stop the erosion of our franchise rights.

Our surveys show that most voters said they had virtually "no clue" who they voted for in various municipal, school district and judicial elections.

Photo ID Support

Andrew Young“I support a photo ID requirement. ... Requiring one and giving it free of charge gives those at the poverty level a tool that enables them to independently participate in the economic process and the election process.”

- Andrew Young, former US State Rep, GA; Atlanta mayor and United States Ambassador

Voter Protection Pledge

"I pledge to the voters of the State of Minnesota that I will support all efforts to institute a requirement to show photo I.D. to access a ballot in any election for public office in the state."

 

The Minnesota Voters Alliance is sponsoring an initiative to request all 490 statewide candidates sign the above pledge to protect voters and the integrity of elections. (See current tally)
