8/22/13 First Day Of State Fair

What a great time I had working the Constitution Party of Minnesota State Fair Booth on opening day. Being alone at the booth was hard especially the times I was overwhelmed when 5-8 people were simultaneously asking for information engaging me in conversation. The other scheduled partner for the booth never arrived but I managed to make it through 13.5 hour shift alone while getting hoarse talking to so many people.

 

In the morning public TV visited and took some video commenting on how neat our booth setup was. All day I noticed people stopping and taking a photo, even other State Fair vendors visited commenting what a great idea our deck and setting was. The Constitution Party of Minnesota is a trailblazing, trend setting leader in more than political principle.

 

 

 

8/18/13 State Fair Booth Update

Yesterday we installed electrical for outside lighting, touchup painting, interior electrical, installed shelving, placed some rope lights and green deck outdoors carpet. Tomorrow we purchase lighting, tables and chairs for the deck, with final touches scheduled for Wednesday afternoon and evening.

 

As usual we seek your support, we have plans fro purchasing and handing out pencils, pocket constitutions, literature, and November 2014 election information. All this preplanning costs money, the more we receive in donations the more citizens we impact at the State Fair. With just days until the State Fair opening we need your generosity TODAY with a critical online donation at www.cpmn.org.

 

It is time to give and we say thanks for the support and “well see you at the fair”.

8/16/13 New Brighton Festival Survey

During the weekend festivities our group conducted a on site survey of 18-24 year olds seeking what would prompt them to engage in political activity, register and vote on Election Day for a specific candidate over traditional GOP/DFL candidates.

 

The results were interesting and challenging to connect the respondent’s expectations with knowing a specific third party candidate has those qualities. All the survey respondents knew of Jesse Ventura (not specifically what he did) having a positive view of Jesse.

 

Of the 22 respondents fair and honest won out at 17.9%, with friend’s enthusiasm, good values, trustworthy, and keeps promises managed a four way tie at 14.3 each, with 24.9% including 5 other categories. Translating this survey into Election Day supporting voting block is part of a successful non traditional major political party campaign.  

8/16/13 New Brighton Stockyard Days Festival

We had a good time during the Stockyard Days festival at Long Lake Regional Park on August 9, 10 and 11. Other than the illegal presence of Homeland Security interfering with the free movements and privacy rights enshrined in our national and state constitutions and allowed by New Brighton city officials the weekend was a success.

 

The constitution Party HD41B and Tim Utz for House were the only political activity at the festival. There were plenty of interested people expressing disgust with their DFL and GOP parties, we provided an alternative folks are taking a serious look at 15 months ahead of the next election.

8/6/13 Constitution Party Fair Booth Update

I thank James N. and Bruce J. for joining me yesterday and transporting our State Fair booth from Burnsville to the State Fairgrounds, specifically on Underwood Street about a half block north of the Ghost Mansion.

 

During our journey the booth slipped off the trailer onto the road causing a temporary tourist attraction. When arriving at the State Fair we set and leveled the booth into place and went shopping at Menards for the new 2013 deck addition materials. Needing to wait for site electricity set up a decision was made to return today and resume work.

 

Calling the Fair offices this morning I learned our booth was 5’ off the approved location so the three of us met again on Underwood Street and relocated and leveled our booth, gaining State Fair management approval of the new location prior to leaving. Tomorrow I am hoping to assemble the new deck.

 

Painting is needed along with other amenities to complete the booth and deck before opening day. Also party leadership is discussing purchasing a large quantity of pencils with the CP of Minnesota logo to hand out during the fair. All this promotion, materials, literature, and upgrading had untold dividends for our party message but also costs money.

 

We ask you to visit our campaign website now at www.cpmn.org and make a generous contribution of $10.00, $50.00, $100.00, $500.00 or more allowing us resources appropriate for marketing the large crowds at the Minnesota State Fair.

8/3/13 Helping Those In Need

It is easy to talk about getting government out of the personal, corporate or foreign aid, but have no solutions for filling any legitimate gaps. Heading home from church on July 29, 2013 Nay and passed a van parked in a Holiday gas station lot with a hand written sign hanging from the driver’s side mirror stating “need help, need gas”.

 

 

Many people were passing the older couple sitting in this battered older vehicle not offering to give assistance or ask about their plight. We turned around and confirmed with the couple the need for fuel.  I instructed them to drive to the Holiday gas island about 30 feet away. I told the man to just start pumping, he paused at $10.00 and I said continue, he paused again at $20.00 and I said just fill it up. The vehicle being filled with $49.97 of fuel, we shook hands and of they went in tears.

 

Christ instructed us to care for those in need we meet in life. A great opportunity we had today, we hope you have and take the same opportunity.

8/3/13 St. Anthony parade Update

What a great time Team Tim Utz for MNHD41-B enjoyed participating in the St. Anthony Parade. The St. Anthony Parade staff and volunteers were so helpful with great personalities and positive attitudes. The parade crowds were vocal and loud as they expressed support for our campaign. Multiple times groups of spectators would shout “Go Tim” as he passed them. Many photos were taken and are being posted on line soon.

 

One observation was the level of support for our team verses the GOP unit in the parade. The GOP Senate District unit (being twice the size of our House district) had 8 people participate in the St. Anthony parade; while the Constitution Party of Minnesota 41B candidate for 2014, Tim Utz unit had 12 volunteers walk the St. Anthony Parade route.

 

There is one more summer parade for Tim Utz campaign this year; next Thursday August 8^th 2013 in New Brighton, Minnesota assembling time is 5:30PM around New Brighton City Hall with the parade starting at 6:00PM. Remember the after parade party at Tim and nay’s home in Columbia Heights.

8/2/13 St. Anthony Golf Tournament

Team Tim Utz for MN HD41-B sponsored a hole at the St. Anthony Golf tournament, and event part of the weekend festivities in St. Anthony. The team had conversations with 72 golfers, handed out 17 pocket Constitutions, and enjoyed a picnic after the tournament. The sponsorship investments provide contact with citizens one would rarely meet in general campaigning.

 

A noticeable observation was golfers noting they had knowledge of our Constitutions (State and Federal) and wanted their kids to have a pocket Constitution intending to have them read it.
