*What would YOU do if YOU had 5,000 Republicans coming to YOUR town????*

*You would do what we did  take them on!!!*

            The Republicans, 15,000 media and 70,000 demonstrators are
coming to St. Paul for the RNC National Convention September 1 - 4, 2008.

            The people who made the War on Iraq, started the run-up to a
possible War on Iran, endorse the torture of people, and who are enemies of
civil liberties, immigrants and gays are all going to be in one building
the Xcel Energy Center  for four days.

            So we have taken the hills  the hills surrounding downtown St.
Paul - to take them on, to take them to task on the issues.

            True Blue Minnesota has two of the nation's largest JumboTrons
True Blue Tube  our own mini television network, which we use to hold the
Republicans to their record while they are in town.  One will be perched
over Xcel at Triangle Park at Kellogg and John Ireland Blvd; the other
should be on Harriet Island, with details to follow.  See attached pictures
of our sites:

blue dot),

         A photo of one of the True Blue Tubes, and

         A 30 second MP3 audio clip of George McGovern on "Dissent."

            Go to our website www.trueblueminnesota.com or
www.truebluemn.com and see for yourself what this looks like and what we are
doing.  We also have our own printing presses.

            Our major focus is the War on Iraq, what is happening there,
what it has done to Iraq and to our country, our economy, our sense of
justice, and our standing in the world.  As part of that, we are taking on:

         Torture, what water boarding looks like, and who at the convention
has supported and directed those programs

         The damage to civil liberties, to ordinary Americans, and to our
legal protections, including domestic spying

         The harm to immigration and human rights

            We also want to take on intolerance and hatred, and how the
Republican Party has been the major driver of hate campaigns against fellow
Americans Democrats, immigrants, and the gay community, to name a few.

            True Blue Tube is a vehicle for all of us to use against the War
and the Republican Right.

            We will display to the world YOUR messages of hope, change,
peace, tolerance, intelligence, sense, humor, compassion, obligation,
respect, honesty, truth, integrity, value, mathematics, and actual family
values.

             Using text, video, motion pictures, graphic art, photographs,
interviews and data we will fill four full days of programming for all to
see.

            We will never have a better opportunity in our lives to
influence the national election for the good.

            We want you to be a part of this.  The United Steelworkers of
America and The Alliance for a Better Minnesota are our major funding
partners to date.

            The more money we raise, the more JumboTrons we can get.  If we
raise the money, our third JumboTron will be mobile and we will drive the
freeways and stop at neighborhood events during the convention.

The word will definitely be out.
