Lynne Torgerson for Congress 2012

We need the TSA and to fund it

2012-01-24T08:03:00.000-06:00

We need the TSA and to fund it. Of course we need to fund the TSA. We need the TSA. That is beyond question. Also, it performs police like functions. These are typically funded by the gov't. Rand Paul has it wrong. Why is just trying to stir up trouble? The Pauls act like they are funded by George Soros.

Ellison wants corporate money out of politics so that only Unions can buy elections

2012-01-23T09:43:00.000-06:00

Ellison wants corporate money out of politics so that only Unions can buy elections. http://email.address-verify.com/q/i2oVstZv6X3Hg2fnBX2Yb_N1dYFpxFA2JPlPqpYexpsgBq2QhtW4h4hIW?HHohT9BVJI4qOaDN4aJr2m809GG1kF5sWUQj5iae8C6RGJgtR6Yh1YuiTlZe1ZX2

The United States Supreme Court decided that corporations can contribute to political actions committees, which committees can support or work to defeat candidates. Ellison does not like this. Evidently, he only wants Unions to be able to influence elections with millions of dollars. That does not seem like a level playing field. Ellison wants a constitutional amendment to prohibit corporate dollars' involvement in politics. Work to defeat Keith Ellison. Support Lynne Torgerson for Congress. She supports the US Supreme Court decision.

Ellison is glad the ban on Sharia Law failed and wants children and illegal aliens to be able to vote

2012-01-19T08:24:00.000-06:00

Ellison is glad the ban on Sharia Law failed. http://fridley.patch.com/articles/keith-ellison-16-year-olds-should-vote He also wants children to be able to vote. And, given that he does not support requiring ID to vote, would also allow illegal aliens to vote, as well as fraud to occur, people being able to vote more than once, etc.

Conservatives need to get involved now. There are more than enough conservatives in the 5th Congressional District to win this election. Get to your caucuses this coming February 7, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Support Lynne Torgerson for Congress. Thank you.

Keith Ellison opposes even economic sanctions to stop a nuclear Iran

2012-01-13T16:29:00.000-06:00

True to his radical Islamist anti American paradigm, Keith Ellison has voted NO to imposing economic sanctions against Iran http://www.startribune.com/local/yourvoices/136827078.html to prevent a nuclear Iran. This is in contrast to the support for such a measure by even President Obama, Senator Al Franken, and Senator Amy Klobuchar. Thus, Keith Ellison clearly is not even in line with your standard Democrat elected officials. Support Lynne Torgerson for Congress, the only candidate in this race who has the backbone to expose Keith Ellison for what he actually stands for.

Republican Jewish Coalition's Mark Miller's Letter to the Editor Regarding the Inappropriateness of Ron Paul

2012-01-11T09:36:00.000-06:00

Dear Editor,

In the Opinion Exchange of the January 6 edition of the Star Tribune, "In praise of three non-Romneys," Brian Thiel claims that Congressman Ron Paul's ideology and world view are "sensible," and asks, "What is with this unfaltering support for Israel and anything Christian, anyway?" Moreover, he cannot understand why so many Republicans reject Congressman Paul's foreign policy. To help him understand, I refer him to the article in Y-Netnews.com (December 28, 2011), in which a former senior aide to Mr. Paul, Eric Dondero, revealed that on numerous occasions over a 12-year period Paul said that he "wished the Israeli state did not exist at all," that "Israel is more trouble than it is worth," and that he "supported the Palestinians' calls for the abolition of the Jewish state, and the return of Israel, all of it, to the Arabs." The vast majority of Republicans reject Ron Paul's ideology because it is morally and intellectually bankrupt, and because Paul simply does not comprehend that support for Israel is in America's military, diplomatic, and economic best interests.

Mark R. Miller, Attorney

NOT Ron Paul for President: Did you know he wishes Israel doesn't exist?

2011-12-28T21:57:00.001-06:00

Ron Paul said he thinks Israel should't exist. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4167257,00.html His 12 year aide says that Ron Paul says this often. Apparently Ron Paul also thinks that the Israelis should leave and give the land to the Palestinians. Why would Israel give its land away? Further, isn't it true that Newt Gingrich revealed that the Palestinians are a fiction, and, Ron Paul was there when Mr. Gingrich said it?

Since the new beginning of Israel in 1948, the United States has been a major supporter of the State of Israel. In fact, our own United States President Truman's vote was a significant help in establishing the State of Israel. That is something that the United States has, and always should be proud of. Further, the United States and Israel are allies and friends. Allies and friends help each other out. Israel helps the United States. The United States helps Israel. We have similar values as well. The United States should help foster such a nation in this part of the world. It is also good for the United States to have a strong friend in that part of the Middle East, where so many people hate the United States and its citizens, and burn our flag and our Presidents in effigy. Why would any US Congressman encourage the giving away of land to people who hate the people of Israel and the US? Further, the Palestinians elected for their governing body Hamas, a terrorist organization. Why would Ron Paul have any nation give away its land to a people governed by a terrorist organization?

Israel is the land of Israel, the Israelis, and the Jews. That is the it is, should be, and always will be. And, Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of Israel, which is obvious.

Where does Ron Paul get his repugnant ideas? How in the world does he get elected to Congress? Ron Paul's ideas are repugnant to good and common sense. Israel is a nation, in the land of Israel, and will always be so. Further, that is the way it should be and, the United States should support that. Further, the United States has a long history of assisting Israel both militarily and financially and that should continue as well. The United States should be part of assisting this small beacon of democracy and light in this very hostile and turbulent part of the world. Overwhelming selfishness is not the answer to our debt and budget woes. The main guiding priniciple in what the US chooses to do or not is whether something is the right thing to do or not.

Jobs, prosperity, an article by Tim Nerenz, Ph.D

MOMENT OF CLARITY: Downward Wisconsin

November 19, 2011Downward Wisconsin

We used to make things here in Wisconsin.
We made machine tools in Milwaukee, cars in Kenosha and ships in Sheboygan. We
mined iron in the north and lead in the south. We made cheese, we made brats,
we made beer, and we even made napkins to clean up what we spilled. And we made
money.

The original war on poverty was a private, mercenary affair. Men like
Harnishfeger, Allis, Chalmers, Kohler, Kearney, Trecker, Modine, Case, Mead,
Falk, Allen, Bradley, Cutler, Hammer, Bucyrus, Harley, Davidson, Pabst, and
Miller lifted millions up from subsistence living to middle class comfort. They
did it - not “Fighting Bob” La Follette or any of the politicians who came along
later to take the credit and rake a piece of the action through the steepest
progressive scheme in the nation.

Those old geezers with the beards cured poverty by putting people to work.
Generations of Wisconsinites learned trades and mastered them in the factories,
breweries, mills, foundries, and shipyards those capitalists built with their
hands. Thousands of small businesses supplied these industrial giants, and tens
of thousands of proprietors and professionals provided all of the services that
all those other families needed to live well. The wealth got spread around
plenty.

The profits generated by our great industrialists funded charities, the arts,
education, libraries, museums, parks, and community development associations.
Taxes on their profits, property, and payrolls built our schools, roads,
bridges, and the safety net that Wisconsin’s progressives are still taking
credit for, as if the money came from their council meetings. The offering
plates in churches of every denomination were filled with money left over from
company paychecks that were made possible because a few bold young men risked it
all and got rich. Don’t thank God for them; thank them that you learned about
God.

Their wealth pales in comparison to the wealth they created for millions and
millions of other Wisconsin families. Those with an appreciation for the
immeasurable contributions of Wisconsin’s industrial icons of 1910 will find the
list of Wisconsin’s top ten employers of 2010 appalling:

Walmart, University of Wisconsin–Madison, Milwaukee Public Schools, U.S. Postal
Service, Wisconsin Department of Corrections, Menards, Marshfield Clinic, Aurora
Health Care, City of Milwaukee, and Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs.

This is what a century of progressivism will get you. Wisconsin is the
birthplace of the progressive movement, the home of the Socialist Party, the
first state to allow public sector unions, the cradle of environmental activism,
a liberal fortress walled off against common sense for decades. Their motto,
Forward Wisconsin, should be changed to Downward Wisconsin if truth in
advertising applies to slogans.

There is no shortage of activists, advocates, and agitators in this State. If
government were the answer to our problems, we would have no problems. The very
same people – or people just like them – who picketed, struck, sued, taxed, and
regulated our great companies out of this state are now complaining about the
unemployment and poverty that they have brought upon themselves. They got rid
of those old rich white guys and replaced them with…nothing.

Wisconsin ranks 47th in the rate of new business formation. We are one of the
worst states for native college graduate exodus; our brightest and most
ambitions graduates leave to seek their fortunes elsewhere. Why shouldn’t they?
Our tax rates are among the worst in the nation and our business climate,
perpetually in the bottom of the rankings, has only recently moved up thanks to
a Governor who now faces a recall for his trouble.

In 1970, the new environmental movement joined unions and socialists in a
coordinated effort to demonize industry. When I was in college, the ranting
against “polluting profiteers” was like white noise – always there. They won,
and here is the price of their victory: in 1970, manufacturers paid 18.2% of
Wisconsin’s property taxes – the major source of school funding - and in 2010
those who remained paid 3.7%.

So who is it that caused the funding crisis in our schools and the skyrocketing
tax rates on our homes? It is the same ignoramuses who are sitting on bridges,
pooping on things, and passing around recall petitions. The unemployed 26-year
old in the hemp hat looking for sympathy might look instead for some inspiration
from Jerome I. Case, who started his agricultural equipment business at the age
of 21, miraculously without an iPhone 4s.

Mr. Case got rich by asking people what they want and making it for them. He
did not get rich by telling people what he wanted and waiting for them to do
something about it. If you want to declare war on your own poverty, memorize
that.

In the last decade alone we have lost 150,000 manufacturing jobs in this state –
over 25%. And it’s not just jobs that have been lost; the companies that
provided them are gone. Those jobs are not coming back, no matter how long we
extend unemployment benefits pretending they are. The 450,000 people who still
work in manufacturing in Wisconsin are damn good it at, but we are now
outnumbered by people who work for government. A significant number of the
latter are tasked with taxing, regulating, and generally harassing the former.
While it is true that many manufacturers chased low-wage opportunities on their
own, many more were driven out of the state by the increasing cost of doing
business here.

It is a myth that unions improve wages. If you consider only the 1,000 jobs in
a closed shop, you might think an average union wage is, say, $30/hr. But if
you add in the zero wages of the 10,000 jobs lost in companies chased out by
union harassment, the average of all 11,000 union workers is reduced to
$2.72/hr. Do you know the average wage of union iron miners in this state?
Zero. And the left is fighting hard to keep it that way in Northern Wisconsin -
looking out for the working man, they call it.

It is also a myth that free trade causes job losses. Over the past three years,
U.S. manufacturers sold $70 billion more goods to our Free Trade Agreement (FTA)
partners than we bought from them. Conversely, we suffered a $1.3 trillion
trade deficit with countries where no FTA’s exist. I doubt that kids are going
to learn that in our government-union monopoly schools – it doesn’t fit the
narrative.

No one wants to see another person suffer in poverty, and liberty is the best
economic policy there is. The great industrialists of Wisconsin took less than
a generation to lift millions up to a life of dignity, pride, prosperity and
good will. When enterprise was free and government was limited, we all
prospered.

Those great men of industry were not anointed at birth to be rich; they rose
from nothing to great wealth through their own hard work and the value they
added to their employees and their customers through choice, competition, and
voluntary exchange. That is the only sure path to real prosperity; the debt
economy is a temporary illusion.

Look again at the list of our famous industrialists and the list of our current
employers. Who would you wish your child or grandchild to grow up to be? Who
do you think will do more good on this earth – Jerome I Case and his tractors,
or the Coordinator of Supplier Diversity at MPS.

If you chose MPS, then apply now – that job is open, and it pays up to $72,000
plus benefits and early retirement. Go in peace and save the world. Me, I'm
going with the tractor guy.

Nov. 29, 2011 5th Congressional District Debate

2011-12-01T22:43:00.004-06:00

Unfortunately, Donald Allen edited out over 30 minutes of the debate: http://ustre.am/:1h8qc

Chris Fields stated that Saddam Hussein got a bad deal, that all troops should be brought home, that he would cut Pell grants, private Social Security. He is also pro choice, pro gay rights, and stated that re funding for Israel starts at $0.00. Chris Fields has also publicly stated that he applauds Keith Ellison's representation of muslims. Chris Fields is also a Libertarian.

Lynne Torgerson the only true conservative in this race supports individual responsibility, free market solutions, balancing the budget, cutting spending, peace through strength, is pro life, 1 man 1 woman marriage, fighting radical Islamism, pro Israel, pro women's rights, greenish on environment and food.

Major surplus for teachers in Wisconsin now

2011-11-13T15:09:00.000-06:00

Evidently, there is now a major surplus for teachers in Wisconsin. Below, please find the information forwarded to me:

Remember the violent and disgusting demonstrations over Wisconsin Gov. Scott
Walker doing away with collective bargaining for Teachers unions? The
results are in. Some school districts went from a $400,000 deficit to a
$1,500,000 surplus as a result. They are even hiring new teachers, not
firing like the Liberals said would happen. Why?

It seems that the insurance company that provided all the "so-called"
benefits to the teachers was an insurance company owned and operated by the
teacher's union. Since the outfit was guaranteed to get the insurance
business from the teachers, and the State had to pay for it (not the
teachers) the insurance company was increasing annual costs every single
year to become the most expensive insurance company in the state. Then the
company was donating millions and millions of dollars to its favorite
democrat politicians who, when they got elected, guaranteed to keep funding
the union's outrageous costs. In other words, the insurance company was a
"pass through" for Wisconsin taxpayer money directly to the democrat
politicians.

Nice racket - and this is the racket that is going on in every single State
that allows collective bargaining. No wonder the States are taking it away.
Now the State of Wisconsin is free to put the insurance contract out for
bids and, lo and behold, they have saved so much money it has turned
deficits into surplus amounts. As a result, none of the teachers had to be
laid off, everyone got a raise, etc., etc., and the taxpayers of Wisconsin
don't have to pay more taxes to fund the union's political ambitions.

If you weren't aware of the reasons Gov. Walker was fighting to take away
collective bargaining, it gives you an idea of the problem the Republican
Party has. Outside of one or two, none of them know how to speak up and
explain properly what the problem was. We could sure use a Ronald Reagan
now, someone who could explain things for people to understand, since we
know that people don't like to read anymore.

Barack Hussein Obama helps named coconspirator to funding terrorism CAIR, the Council on American Islamaic Relations

2011-10-21T20:14:00.000-05:00

Contrary to American national security, our Commander in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama, has directed that in the training manuals for law enforcement and the FBI, that all references to muslims and islam must be removed. http://news.yahoo.com/obama-administration-pulls-references-islam-terror-training-materials-044605689.html What? THE greatest threat to our national security are islamic muslims. Every 911 suicide hijacker was an islamic muslim. The Time Square attempted bomber was an islamic muslim. The Christmas underwear attempted bomber of an airplane was an islamic muslim. So, if there are no references to muslims or islam, what exactly are they going to train our law enforcement and FBI to watch out for? People other than islamic muslims? If that is so, then our law enforcement and FBI are going to be missing THE greatest threat to our national security, which are islamic muslims. Now, am I saying that all islamic muslims are terrorists? No. I am saying however that THE greatest threat to our national security are islamic muslims, the extreme ones.

So, how did this come about? Evidently, CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, which was a named coconspirator to funding terrorism in the Holy Land Foundation trial involving convictions for sending $12,000,000.00 to the terrorist organization Hamas, complained about the references in training materials, and said it would cut off cooperation with the FBI unless the references were omitted. First of all, didn't the FBI already cut ties to CAIR when it was named a coconspirator to funding terrorism. Further, the FBI should cut all ties to CAIR.

Further, our President, Barack Hussein Obama should not capitulate to CAIR demands. However, it really doesn't appear that he is capitulating. It appears rather that he is working with CAIR.

Morever, our Commander in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama, is acting in concert with a named coconspirator to funding terrorism, contrary to American National Security.

Make Barack Hussein Obama a 1 Term President.

People compete for jobs, jobs are not a gift

2011-10-21T19:58:00.000-05:00

Now, I hate to take a really hard position, and take away hope from people, etc. However, people need to realize something. People compete for jobs. Jobs are not given to people. A job is not a gift. A job is also hard work. That is why it is called work. It is not necessarily fun. It is not done for pleasure. It is not done in one's leisure time. One is expected to show up every day, on time, and do an excellent job. This is at any level of job.

People also pay large amounts of money to obtain a higher education, and go to school for many years, to obtain a higher education with the hope of pursuing their calling and/or making a higher level of living. And, there are no guarantees. One they finish their education, they then must compete for the job they desire, and, they may spend perhaps 30 years paying back student loans.

People need to realize that they are being led down a false path of hope if they think the government is going to get them a job, or if they are waiting for the government to get them a job. The government is not an employer. Businesses employ people. Government is supposed to only run government, i.e., the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. The government does not make and sell hamburgers, nor paper, nor gasoline, nor computers, nor chairs, nor cupboards, nor stoves. It does not come to your house and fix your plumbing, or your furnace, etc.

The only thing government can do to help create jobs is indirectly, i.e., make our business environment better for businesses. And thus the theory is that when businesses have more money, they employ more people. The less a business is taxes the more money the business has, and the more people it will employ, and thus there will be more jobs.

People need to be told the truth so that they can actually make a difference in their own life and not wait for a false dream that will never come to fruition.

Every job I have ever gotten is through my own initiative. I have gone out and looked, applied, gone to school, applied more, then gotten jobs, and showed up daily, on time, and did an excellent job, or as excellent job as I could, to obtain and keep a job. With all due respect, that is how it is done. It has nothing to do with the government.

Libertarian Chris Fields Seeking Republican Endorsement

2011-10-10T20:25:00.000-05:00

      Pursuant to his request, at the time of this writing, I had "a cup of coffee" with Chris Fields. Not much information has been shared about Chris Fields. Thus, this writing will share what Chris Fields has shared with me.

      Chris Fields spent the first 20 years of his life growing up in the Bronx, New York. It appears that around high school age, he enlisted in the military. He then spent the last 21 years of his life in the Marines, in San Diego, California, from which he just retired. He achieved the honorable rank of Major. He saw action in the Middle East. I thank him for his service. May God bless him for his service.       He recently married his 2^nd wife, whom he met on the Internet, and moved to Minnesota. They own a home in San Diego, California, and St. Paul, Minnesota. To establish a presence in our district here in the 5^th (so he can run for political office in the 5^th), he recently purchased a condo or apartment in Minneapolis. Thus, at the time of this writing, he has lived in Minnesota about 4 months.
      Chris Fields describes himself as a Libertarian.
     He told me that he is pro-choice "at every stage" possible.
      He also told me that he supports gay rights legislation. It should be noted that gay rights legislation is the most ultra liberal progressive position.
     At a recent speaking engagement, Fields "applauded Keith Ellison for his representation of muslims." Keith Ellison supports CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, which was a named coconspirator to funding terrorism in a case where people were convicted of sending $12,000,000.00 to the terrorist organization Hamas. Keith Ellison is regularly the keynote speaker at CAIR's Annual Banquet.

     Fields volunteered twice that Saddam Hussein got a bad deal. He later added that he was glad that he was gone. Lynne Torgerson, in contrast, is glad we took down Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein murdered thousands of his own people, would reimburse families of suicide bombers $25,000.00, and regularly sent Scud missiles into civilian terrorities in Israel. His own people executed him.
   At a recent speaking engagement, Fields stated that all troops should be brought home and that even 3000 troops was too many.     At a recent speaking engagement, Fields stated that he wants to establish "Enterprise zones" in North Minneapolis, where companies would operate tax free and provide jobs to local residents in North Minneapolis.

     Fields told me that he recently began attending church, feeling that previously it was inappropriate because he wore the uniform of a Marine.
      Fields' future career plans are uncertain. Also, he apparently has no prior business experience, no prior experience in the law, and no prior political experience.

Libertarians

      I am sorry, but there is much in the Libertarian platform with which I do not agree. These positions have no place in the Republican Party. Libertarians here in the 5^th Congressional District:

           Support abortion

           Support gay rights legislation

           Are anti-war

     Are anti-government

           Support legalizing illicit drugs

           Support legalizing prostitution

      These positions are in direct conflict with the Republican platform. These positions have no place in the Republican Party.

      The support of gay rights legislation is that of ultra liberal progressives. Simply because someone may support conservative economic policies does not make them Republican nor conservative. It is just anti-government.

      We are not supposed to be anti-government. Rather, we should support good government, which is consistent with it being smaller.

      Again, Chris Fields self-identifies himself as a Libertarian.

America Does Not Need Another Stimulus Program

2011-10-07T12:04:00.000-05:00

America does not need another stimulus program. Barack Hussein Obama is trying to mislead the public into believing that he is going to create jobs. A stimulus bill does not create jobs. It only pays a few people on a short term basis to do some work. This does not solve their problem. Businesses create jobs. People get jobs by accepting whatever job they can get. This is individual responsibility. The government cannot solve the jobs problem.

Fridley Patch Posts Article on Lynne Torgeron's Announcement of Candidacy for Congress

2011-09-23T16:28:00.000-05:00

Lynne Torgerson announced Sunday she would run as a Republican the office of U.S. Representative in Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District, which includes Fridley.
The announcement came Sept. 11 at a home-turned-campaign headquarters in northeast Minneapolis Sunday before a small gathering of supporters.
With her campaign theme song, Oh, Happy Day, playing in the background, Torgerson said she was "entering the race to stand for the moral, Judeo-Christian values the country was founded upon.
"That's our foundation, and if we don't have our foundation in place, then the economy and things aren't going to be doing so well."
Ran in 2010
Torgerson is a Minneapolis attorney who ran against the incumbent, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, as an independent in 2010.
She expressed support for "traditional family values" and her oppositon to gay-rights legislation.
She stated her belief that "government can't create jobs, but we can create an environment in which businesses can flourish." And she said she would seek to "greatly curtail the power of the unions."
Sharia Law Charge
Torgerson went on to say:

It is important ... to support our U.S. Constitution. I think I still need to expose Keith Ellison for being a radical Islamist.
I do believe that he says he does eventually want to replace the U.S. Constitution with Sharia law. I recently had an opportunity to ask him in public what he believed to be supreme, the U.S. Constitution or Sharia law.
He evaded the question. He refuses to state that the U.S. Constitution should be supreme over sharia law, which is to me quite surprising.
He talked about how the Constitution has been amended and it appears that he would amend the Constitution to incorporate Sharia law.

Other Issues
Torgerson also voiced support for "green energy," "a better food supply-organic foods, non-genetically-altered foods;" reducing the national debt, and health-care reform—including the need "to reduce the power of health insurance companies dramatically."
At the end of her announcement, Torgerson proposed a toast "to victory in 2012. And if not then, 2020.

Minnesota Independent Article on Lynne Torgerson's Announcement of Candidacy

2011-09-23T15:41:00.000-05:00

Lynne Torgerson launched her second campaign against Rep. Keith Ellison on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 this weekend at her home in Golden Valley, calling for a return to “Judeo-Christian values” and labeling Ellison as a “radical Islamist” who wants to do away with the U.S. Constitution.
Torgerson, who has the backing of Tea Party Nation, also took shots at fellow Republican challenger Chris Fields for his divorce and support for LGBT rights.

Torgerson is running for the Republican nomination in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District. Earlier this year, she told Tea Party Nation that she would be running—the group backed her previous run for office. Torgerson raised $60,000 in the last cycle—nearly as much as the Republican in the race. She self-financed $25,000 of that money and she was the only Minnesota-based donor to her campaign; all other contributions are from out of state. She ran as an unaffiliated independent.
One of Torgerson’s main issues is an opposition to civil rights for gay people. She said homosexuality goes against “natural law.”
“Two men cannot make a baby. Two women cannot make a baby. Further, all cultures which have evidenced moral decline have fallen,” she wrote. “Homosexuality has traditionally been seen as evidence of moral decline. Thus, homosexuality is not good for America, nor any culture.”
Torgerson told Golden Valley Patch at her 9/11 campaign launch that she was “entering the race to stand for the moral, Judeo-Christian values the country was founded upon. That’s our foundation, and if we don’t have our foundation in place, then the economy and things aren’t going to be doing so well.”
She said it was important to her to support the U.S. Constitution.
“I still need to expose Keith Ellison for being a radical Islamist. I do believe that he says he does eventually want to replace the U.S. Constitution with sharia law,” Torgerson said.
Torgerson told Patch she recently asked Ellison whether he believed the Constitution or “Sharia law” was supreme.
“He evaded the question,” she said. “He refuses to state that the U.S. Constitution should be supreme over Sharia law, which is to me quite surprising. He talked about how the Constitution has been amended and it appears that he would amend the Constitution to incorporate Sharia law.”
Torgerson’s question was caught on video posted by her campaign. In the exchange, Ellison said there are no communities in the United States that have tried to install Sharia law.
“I believe that the United States Constitution which has been amended well over 25 times is the bedrock of American law,” Ellison said. “This whole movement to try to ban Sharia, this bill has been introduced in over 22 states, in my view, this is a very thin-disguised effort at religious persecution of people who are Muslim.”

Is an oath of allegiance required to become a US citizen?

2011-08-24T13:03:00.000-05:00

Today, I attended the swearing in ceremony of a friend of mine, to become a citizen of the United States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_Allegiance_%28United_States%29 Most of the applicants happily sung our national anthem The Star Spangled Banner, and, energetically took the Oath of allegiance to the United States. Very disturbingly however, too many failed to sing The Star Spangled Banner, and more importantly, failed to take the Oath. They simply stood there and said nothing. These people were given citizenship rights even though they did not say the Oath. Are they actually citizens? Why are we allowing this?

No justification for a Palestinian State

The debt ceiling and our elected officials

2011-08-01T07:02:00.000-05:00

Whether or not to raise the debt ceiling is an issue upon which reasonable minds can differ. This is illustrated by the differing opinions of our well respected leaders, Bachmann, Boehner, and West. So, simply because one of our leaders takes an action or one or few decisions that we may or may not agree with, does not justify castigating them or seeking their ouster. We must allow our leaders to lead. It appears that they have best interests at heart. These are good men and women. Support your leaders. Let them know that you are behind them no matter what.

It would take us 525,000 years to repay our debt

2011-07-17T16:52:00.000-05:00

Here is an example of why we need to not raise the debt ceiling: 16,000,000,000,000 (16 trillion) seconds ago was 525,000 years ago. If we repaid our debt at the rate $1 every second, it would take us 525,000 to do so. If we repaid our debt at the rate of $86,400 per day, it would take us 525,000 years to do so.

We should not raise the debt ceiling. Is there a risk in not doing so? Yes. Do we yet have 20-20 vision or hindsight? No. Should we not raise the debt ceiling anyway? Yes. We need to make hard decisions. We need to allow our elected officials to make hard decisions. Everyone can't have everything they want now.

The beginning of the end of Ellison has begun

2011-07-12T20:16:00.000-05:00

     Awhile back, a knowledgeable person told me to ask Congressman Ellison whether he believes that the US Constitution should be supreme over Islamic Sharia Law. Well, apparently, Ellison has been preparing for this question, and has been practicing on how to evade it and deflect attention away from his refusal to answer the question. So, recently, in a public forum in Minnesota, this question was posed to him. http://www.youtube.com/user/TorgersonForCongress Mr. Ellison refused to answer the question. Rather, he initially talked about how the US Constitution has been amended about 25 times and then said it was the bedrock of American law. Well, yes, that is true. However, that still does not answer the question: What does he believe should be supreme? The US Constitution or Sharia Law? Now, if someone asked me that question, my answer would be easy and quick. Of course, the US Constitution. However, to date, Mr. Ellison is still refusing to answer that question. Rather, he avoids answering the question directly, and then proceeds to berate people at length, for about 5 minutes or so, who oppose the implementation of Sharia Law (we already have duly enacted State and federal laws) in the United States. So, by the time Mr. Ellison finishes talking, people do not remember the question asked and do not notice that he refused to answer the question posed.

     Well, after this exchange, I posted a small article about Mr. Ellison's refusal to answer this question. Mr. Ellison then went on extreme tirade against me, falsely accusing me of having a campaign of hate, and causing others to call me anti-Muslim. He also got others to falsely accuse me of being racist, bigoted and anti-Muslim. He sent out national emails castigating me and even got the Reverend Al Sharpton to interview me on MSNBC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osBUOagXZcs&playnext=1&list=... Mr. Ellison was then interviewed by Reverend Sharpton the next evening. However, even during his interview, Ellison still refused to say that the US Constitution should be supreme over Islamic Sharia law. The furthest he would go is to say "obviously, the US Constitution is supreme." Again, yes, that is true. The sky is also blue.

     It needs to be stated again that for the past 25 years, I have devoted my life to protecting the Constitutional rights of people of all faces, nationalities, walks of life, and religions. My entire life is integrated. My personal life is integrated. I have dated men of different nationalities and religions, including black men. My work is integrated. My church is multinational and integrated. So, the allegations against me of being racist and bigoted are false and unfounded. So, if they are false and unfounded, then my statements against Mr. Ellison must be based on something else. What would that be? That would be . . . THE TRUTH.

     Mr. Ellison is a radical islamist. A radical islamist is a person with an ideology similar to that of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood wishes to have a global islamic rule, and wishes to destroy the West, which includes Europe and the United States. Its plan to do includes using terror as well as political means. It wishes to become involved in the political realm in the US and change the US from within. It desires to make Islamic Sharia the supreme law of the land. Evidently, Mr. Ellison wishes to amend the US Constitution so many times so as it becomes Islamic Sharia Law. This is similar to what the founders and leaders of CAIR say. The founders and leaders of CAIR have been quoted as saying that they want Islamic Sharia law to become supreme in the US, but that they are not going to do it through violence, but through "education." Mr. Ellison is very good friends with many of the founders and leaders of CAIR. It bears repeating that CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations) was a named conconspirator to funding terrorism in the Holy Land Foundation trial, which resulted in convictions for sending $12,000,000.00 to the terrorist organization of Hamas. Hamas is reported to be an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR is reportedly an arm of the terrorist organization Hamas. A political arm. It should also be noted that Keith Ellison is regularly the keynote speaker for CAIR at its annual dinners, and helps raise funds for CAIR. And, CAIR reportedly helps raise funds for Keith Ellison. Thus, we have a sitting Congressman helping raise funds for a named conconspirator to funding terrorism. Is there a more innappropriate person to have in our federal government than Keith Ellison?

     Keith Ellison refuses to say that the US Constitution should be supreme over Islamic Sharia law. I invite the entire public in the United States to ask Mr. Ellison this question. He refuses to so say because evidently that is not what he believes. He evidently believes that Islamic Sharia law should be, and become, supreme to the US Constitution. And, that is contrary to the American Way, the American Revolution, our American government. Keith Ellison is not an average Democrat. Keith Ellison has an agenda that is not consistent with the Democrat platform and is not consistent with American values nor American interests. Keith Ellison has no business in our federal government. This has nothing to do with race nor religion. It has to do with politics and an ideology in conflict with our US Constitution. There are no constitutional rights in Islamic Sharia law.   We live in the best country on earth, and a significant reason the US is the best is because of our virtually sacred US Constitution. We live in the safest, freest, most prosperous country on earth.

     Please help me run against Keith Ellison. I need 10,000 people to donate $10 per month for 16 months to properly wage this campaign. I need your help. Please consider donating to my campaign: http://torgersonforcongress.com.

     God bless!

Rev. Al Sharpton and Keith Ellison have falsely accused Lynne Torgerson of being anti-muslim. To the contrary, Lynne Torgerson strongly supports freedom of religion, and, has devoted her career to protecting the Constitutional rights of people of all races, walks of life, nationalities and religions. Keith Ellison is trying to divert attention away from his ties to terrorism funders, and the fact that he is a radical islamist who refuses to say that the US Constitution should be supreme to Islamic Sharia Law. http://fridley.patch.com/articles/torgerson-to-challenge-ellison-again-for-congress#youtube_video-6795344Ellison also recently said that America will eventually have no borders.

CAIR loses IRS tax exempt status: tremendous progress against radical islamism

Great news! Tremendous progress has been made against the radical Islamist organization CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations. The IRS has stripped it of its tax exempt status. CAIR was a named coconspirator to funding terrorism in the Holy Land Foundation trial in Texas: http://www.investigativeproject.org/2990/cair-loses-irs-status Also, Keith Ellison raises funds for CAIR and CAIR helps Keith Ellison raise funds.

Please help me win against Keith Ellison by donating to my campaign at http://www.torgersonforcongress.com. Please donate $10 to $25 per month. Did you know that if 10,000 people donate $13 per month to my campaign, that we will raise $2,000,000 dollars? Every amount counts. You count! God bless you and the United States of America!

Islamic Sharia law must be banned throughout our state and federal governments

2011-06-22T05:15:00.000-05:00

Islamic Sharia law must be banned throughout our state and federal governments. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/03/02/tennessee-lawmaker-continue-push-make-following-shariah-felony/

We have duly enacted state laws and statutes throughout our 50 states in this, our United States of America. We also have duly enacted, by our elected officials, federal laws and statutes. Everyone who is a citizen of, and who lives in or visits the United States of America, is subject to the laws of our states and federal government. No one gets to come to the United States and bring their own laws here and expect them to apply in our states or federal government, or our courts. Islamic Sharia has no place in America. We must enact legislation barring the implementation of this foreign, non-representative sect of law. Islamic Sharia law must be banned throughout the United States.

I, Lynne Torgerson, am running for Congress in Minnesota, against radical Islamist Keith Ellison. Keith Ellison fails to oppose banning Islamic Sharia law in the United States. He accuses people of trying to ban it as "conspiratorilists." Keith Ellison also fails to support that the United States Constitution should be supreme over Islamic Sharia law.

Why Is Convicted Child Molester Detective Corey Farris, A Convicted Criminal, Still a Police Officer, and Why Did Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson and Judge Chesterman Help Him?

2011-02-22T21:33:00.000-06:00

Corey Farris is employed as a Detective with the Freeborn County Sheriff's Office. In approximately 2000, he "adopted" a 16 year old boy who he had been "mentoring" at a community program. At that time, Corey Farris was approximately 25 years old. After adopting the 16 year old boy, the 16 year old boy had a girlfriend. Evidently, Corey Farris was very angry and didn't want his adopted son to have a girlfriend. Approximately one (1) year after the so-called adoption, according to the Complaint filed against Corey Farris, Farris "went out drinking with some friends . . . when Farris came home, [the boy] could smell alcohol on him. [The boy] said that COREY FARRIS came to the door of the [boy's] bedroom, paused for a couple of minutes and said something like, "Love you." [The boy] siad that his blanket went up and that COREY FARRIS touched him on his penis. [The boy] said that he jumped up and began swearing at COREY FARRIS and told him to get out of his room. . . ." The case number is 24-T6-01-855. At his plea and sentencing hearig on March 8, 2001, before Judge Chesterman, Detective Corey Farris admitted that the facts in the complaint were true. He was sentenced to attend sexual offender treatement. Now, was Corey Farris charged with a felony? NO. Was he charged with Criminal Sexual Conduct? NO. How did Corey Farris get such a sweetheart deal? Why did Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson and Judge John Chesterman allow DETECTIVE Corey Farris to get off with such a light charge? Given that he was a Detective, this sweetheart deal smacks of the appearance of impropriety. Further, even to today, Corey Farris is still a Detective with the Freeborn County Sheriff's Office. It should be noted that Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson even went so far as to write a letter requesting that Detective Corey Farris still be allowed to work around children. Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson and Assistant Freeborn County Attorney David Walker have filed false pleadings with the Freeborn County District Court falsely writing that Detective Corey Farris has no criminal record. Judge Chesterman, Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson, Assistant County Attorney David Walker and Detective Corey Farris also all preside in cases, prosecute cases, and act as a a witness in cases respectively, all together at the same time in case even to 2011. What should be done with Judge Chesterman, Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson, Assistant County Attorney David Walker and Detective Corey Farris? Have they proven themselves worthy of the public trust sufficient to keep their public offices? Should they continue in their positions? If not, get involved. Vote them out. Get them removed from their offices.

Spending Cuts Bill -- Not Enough

2011-02-21T10:11:00.002-06:00

Congressman Campbell was interviewed on Fox News this morning who said the reason he did not vote for the spending cuts bill was because they were supposed to cut 100 billion, not just 62 billion. We need to be very careful not to criticize when we don't have all the facts. I too got the "list" criticizing those who did not vote for said bill. When I looked at the names however, I realized that there must have been a reason. We therefore have a terrible and terribly misleading "list" being circulated unjustifiably criticizing some of our best and misleading us. We cannot be so quick to fly off the handle. Friendly fire needs to stop.

The Muslim Brotherhood=President Obama=CNN

2011-02-13T12:19:00.000-06:00

The Muslim Brotherhood has long been categorized as a terrorist organization. Further, it has made its feeling of hatred for the United States well known. Recently, the Muslim Brotherhood was minimally, part of the uprising in Egypt. Then, President Obama stepped in and gave support to the overthrow of President Mubarak, thus indirectly supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. President Mubarak was a long time ally of the United States. Then, regardless of the good of the United States and Egypt, CNN went on a campaign to support President Obama's position of ousting President Mubarak, and went on a campaign to try and distance the uprising from the Muslim Brotherhood. CNN could not have cared less for the truth. CNN had an agenda and it pushed it. It characterized the uprising as "peaceful." This could not be further from the truth. Three hundred (300) people were killed. FYI: killing is not peaceful. Then they kept broadcasting support for an "orderly transition." It is impossible to be "orderly" given that there is nothing to transition to-- They are simply ousting a longstanding sitting President and not replacing him with anyone. That creates disorder and potentially chaos. FYI: disorder is not order. CNN has absolute no news or reporting integrity. It simply has an agenda, regardless of the truth, and regardless if its position is good for America. It simply backs President Obama, and President Obama has a muslim agenda. FYI: America is not Islamic and Islam is contrary to the United States Constitution. Therefore, President Obama is contrary to the United States Constitution. The Muslim Brotherhood, President Obama and CNN all worked toward the same goal.

President Obama Should Not Support Terrorist Organization Muslim Brotherhood

2011-02-07T19:42:00.000-06:00

The Muslim Brotherhood has long been categorized as a terrorist organization. A US President should in no way lend support to a terrorist organization. A US President also does not have any jurisdiction in a foreign country, including Egypt. A good question is also whether the Muslim Brotherhood has instigated the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and Jordan. It can't be a coincidence that all of these "Days of Anger" or the like just happened to occur so near in time to each other. The US should be loyal to its ally in Egypt. President Obama should not be supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization categorized as a terrorist organization. The media should not portray the Muslim Brotherhood as something other than a terrorist organization.

President Obama Betrays Long Time Ally President Mubarak

2011-02-01T18:03:00.000-06:00

President Obama has betrayed our long time ally President Mubarak. President Mubarak has long been an ally to the United States and Israel. Under any relationship, that would call for loyalty and support by the United States towards President Mubarak. Tonight, President Obama betrayed that relationship. President Obama essentially stated that President Mubarak must resign his office and that he must do so now. President Obama stated that the time for transition and change is now. Well, the only thing suggested to change is President Mubarak. It should also be noted that the uprising in Egypt appears to be promulgated by the Islamic radical group The Muslim Brotherhood. So, it is improper for President Obama to lend support to this group as well. It often appears that President Obama does not have America's interests at heart. President Obama must also be removed from office in 2012. We must outwork his supporters. Getting involved in politics is a sacrifice. It means going to meetings, at night, after work. People need to get involved at all levels of politics and government. They must attend party meetings. They must run for and obtain party leadership positions. They must run for and obtain positions such as City Council, Soil Conservation Officer, School Board, Mayor, State House and Senate, US House and Senate, and US President, etc. We have less than two (2) years left. Please, get involved. Get involved now.

Jarred Loughner: Schizophrenic Assassin

2011-01-10T19:09:00.000-06:00

I have been working in the courts for over 20 years now. I have had the opportunity to read some of the rambling writings of Jarred Loughner. It is obvious at first glance that he is schizophrenic. In other words, he is mentally ill. If one's mind is not working right, one is not going to act right. There probably is not anything anyone could have done or not done, to prevent Jarred Loughner from doing what he did (other than of course not holding the public meeting or having surrounded the Congresswoman and others with security). No one did anything or said anything to make him do what he did. This was not foreseeable. He did it because he is crazy. It is not because someone said something. It is not because guns are legal. There is no law that can be passed to prevent Jarred Loughner from doing what he did. Murder is already illegal. He did what he did because he is mentally ill. Now, perhaps society should do more to care for its mentally ill, perhaps not. I have long seen how the mentally ill are committed to a psychiatric hospital for a short time, gotten medicinally compliant, gotten back to "sanity," but then turned back out onto the street where said person no longer takes his medications and quickly returns to his mentally ill state. Regardless however, the person who is responsible for these horrendous acts is Jarred Loughner. The murderer is responsible for his murderous acts. People and the media need to stop blaming third parties for the wrongdoing of one. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110109/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_drug_war_mexico

Don't Buy Halal Because it Helps Finance Terrorism

2011-01-05T18:55:00.000-06:00

Evidently, some of the proceeds of halal food go to help finance terrorism. Additionally, stunningly, apparently some are secretly having halal in people's food. This should be a crime. People should always know what they are eating, or not, and be able to make an informed choice. Don't buy halal. Also, boycott all businesses who sell halal food.

Are Muslims Exempted from Obamacare Mandates?

2010-11-19T20:23:00.000-06:00

I do not know if the following is true. Are Muslims Exempted from Obamacare Mandates? If anyone knows, please let me know. If so, it would violate the Constitutional requirements of equal protection under the law. The following was fowarded to me:
Dhimmitude -- What does it mean?
Obama used it in the health care bill.

Now isn't this interesting? It was used in the health care law.

Every day there's another revelation of what Obama and his fellow . . . are doing ....

Dhimmitude -- I had never heard the word until now. Type it into Google and start reading. Pretty interesting. It's on page 107 of the healthcare bill. I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists. It is a REAL word. Amish and others are excluded, including muslims. I think I could become Amish a whole lot easier than muslim.

Word of the Day: Dhimmitude

Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam.

ObamaCare allows the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia muslim diktat in the United States . Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking", and "usury" and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this.

How convenient. So I, as a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize muslims. Period. This is Dhimmitude.

Dhimmitude serves two purposes: It enriches the muslim masters AND serves to drive conversions to Islam. In this case, the incentive to convert to Islam will be taken up by those in the inner-cities as well as the godless . . . who have no moral anchor. If you don't believe in Christ to begin with, it is no problem whatsoever to sell Him for 30 pieces of silver. "Sure, I'll be a muslim if it means free health insurance and no taxes. Where do I sign, bro?"

I recommend sending this post to your contacts. This is desperately important and people need to know about it -- quickly!
