Turnout at this year's HD50B Republican Caucus was phenomenal. We were expecting between 300-400 attendees -- twice that of previous years -- but we shattered our expectations with nearly 800 participants.

Our HD50B Republican volunteers wish to thank everyone who attended for taking time out of their evening to join us. Their patience and courtesy in dealing with overflowing numbers made for a very successful evening.

Fortunately, Minnesota has a caucus process that puts politics in the hands of interested citizens. It is not fast-food politics that can be easily swayed by media frenzy. It is a deliberate, thoughtful process designed to inspire active grass roots participation in the governance of our republic.

The deliberation to pursue ideas and to elect a delegation to advance them takes time. We are grateful that so many local Republicans thought enough about the future of Minnesota and of our nation to take the time to get involved.

Thank you!

If you want to become a delegate to a Minnesota Republican Convention, it all starts at the Caucus on February 5. To learn more, follow the road map below (click on image to enlarge).

The first $50 of your donation to MN HD50B may be eligible for a refund from the State of Minnesota. Complete details of this Minnesota State Program follows. (Click here for the official Minnesota 2006 Political Contribution Refund Form.)

---

Minnesota voters who contributed gifts of money to candidates for state office or to a state political party may be able to apply for a refund of all or a portion of contributions made during the calendar year. The maximum refund is $50 for an individual and $100 for a married couple.

An individual or married couple filing a joint application may file only one Form PCR for each calendar year in which contributions were made, even if they contributed to more than one candidate or party.

You may receive a refund for all or a portion of contributions you made in 2006 to candidates for the following Minnesota state offices—if the candidates have signed an agreement with the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board to observe the state campaign spending limit law:

• Minnesota House of Representatives
• Minnesota State Senate
• Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota
• Attorney General of Minnesota
• Secretary of State of Minnesota
• Minnesota State Auditor

You may also receive a refund of all or a portion of contributions you made in 2006 to the:

• Independence Party
• Republican Party
• Democratic Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party
• Green Party
• any precinct, city, county, congressional or legislative district unit of the Minnesota parties listed above (this includes MN HD50B Republicans).

Who may file?
To be eligible for the refund, you must be a registered voter in Minnesota or, if you are not a registered voter, you must:

• be a United States citizen,
• be age 18 or older, and
• have lived in Minnesota at least 20 days immediately before any 2006 statewide or local election in which you would be eligible to vote if you were registered.

However, regardless of whether or not you are a registered voter, you are not eligible for the refund if:

• you are under guardianship of the person, but have not retained the right to vote, or
• you have been found by a court to be legally incompetent to vote, or
• you have been convicted of a felony and your civil rights have not been restored.

Minnesota House District 50B Republicans is an all volunteer, grass roots organization. We are residents of HD50B who take an active interest in the governance of our community, our state, and our nation.

Many believe that the average citizen has little say in his or her government. But, this isn't true. If want to speak up, all you have to do is show up. And it all starts with your local caucuses in March of each election year. This is how the members of HD50B united to participate in our citizen-run government.

Please feel free to give us your feedback.
