State Legislator Urges Yes Vote on MPIRG Referendum
April 9, 2010
By Erin Murphy
As a State Representative for the legislative district serving Macalester College I have had the opportunity to work with Macalester Minnesota Public Interest Research Group (MPIRG). Time and again I have been impressed by not only the passion from its members, but their ability to work effectively to get things accomplished. On important issues at the Minnesota Legislature, Macalester MPIRG has been active at the State Capitol and in our communities, working with me to address real policy issues affecting our state. For example, Macalester MPIRG took notice when Governor Pawlenty vetoed General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC), a program that provides basic care to Minnesota’s poorest and sickest. They helped organize and rally support for our efforts to restore GAMC. Their time and energy helped us successfully save GAMC and preserve health care for 85,000 Minnesotans who depend on the program.
The heart and soul of every victory for social justice, equality and democracy comes from citizen engagement and activism. This has been the guiding force behind the Macalester MPIRG since 1974 and I hope that tradition will continue. I encourage you to vote yes on the MPIRG referendum this year and to be part of our active journey to make Minnesota and our world a better a place.

I have learned newer and more effective things from your blog post. Yet another thing to I have discovered is that generally, FSBO sellers can reject people. Remember, they will prefer not to use your expert services. But if a person maintain a stable, professional partnership, offering guide and remaining in contact for around four to five weeks, you will usually be capable of win a meeting. From there, a listing follows. Thank you

I have witnessed that rates for internet degree gurus tend to be a terrific value. For instance a full 4-year college Degree in Communication with the University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits from $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online comes with a Bachelors of Business Administration with a full course feature of 180 units and a tariff of $30,560. Online studying has made having your education been so detailed more than before because you might earn your degree through the comfort of your abode and when you finish from work. Thanks for all the tips I have really learned through the blog.
