The meeting will deal solely with a proposal for amending the Ramsey County Charter to ensure voters will be able to weigh in on any funding for a Vikings Stadium.

The MVA has circulated to the 16 currently serving Commissioners a summary of the current situation involving amending the Charter, along with a short description of the MVA position.

"At this meeting, the Commissioners will not be taking public input but strong attendance can help make it clear to them how important this issue is to Ramsey County citizens and how much the people are depending on the Commissioners to protect their right to vote on Vikings stadium funding," said Andy Cilek, president of the MVA.

Attendance is expected to be larger than usual.

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)
