Call @amyklobuchar.com's local or DC office and ask why the toothless statement? If she can't even stand up against Trump for doing something blatantly criminal against one of her colleagues, why should anyone trust her to fight for the average Minnesotan? Remind Amy she has to earn your vote.
Amy Klobuchar's office phone numbers 

DC office: 202-224-3244
Metro office: 612-727-5220

This is their corrupt playbook: Use all the powers of the federal government to attack our leaders. Deploy an out of control, violent federal police force to invade our communities and kill and injure Minnesotans. Launch baseless and hateful attacks on the Somali community.

Reminder again that Trump is a total thug who should be in prison rather than the Oval Office. Shitty country we’ve created, here.

They are fully going to start investigating and jailing opposition party members on Trumped-up charges. It’s the path of authoritarians everywhere.

Thank you for your one-time contribution to

Thank you for contributing to my Congressional Campaign!
I came to America as a refugee, a young girl fleeing war and starvation, seeking a new home and freedom in the form of democracy. I found that in Minnesota.
I'm running to fight for the Minnesota I hoped for, the one I believe we can achieve together.
It means so much that you're with me!
Thank you,
Ilhan

So I ordered wd40 and got another ticket waiting for shipping. Finally I got the plates of y and changed. It cost me several hundred dollars and I couldn't pay rent that month. I'm glad they didn't just take me vehicle or double those fines. The only people truly punished would be poor people.

My tabs expired and I got a ticket. I went to get tabs and thought "oh! I'll go to that kiosk at Cub and save time" well they took my money but no tabs. The receipt didn't say but they had to mail them to me because new plates. I got two more tickets waiting for mail. Then my bolts wouldn't come off

Remote work is critical to expanding jobs to women and people with disabilities. @governorwalz.mn.gov made the wrong call on that and many families lost critical flexibility and now pay more to be forced into offices. We get less time with our families, including pets. Pets are being surrendered.

Try having no insurance. The Minnesota Care cut off is way too low. People making 32k a year in Minneapolis easily spend all that on rent alone but y'all expect us to also buy health insurance? What's your plan Amy?

I remember the last time my son asked me to read to him. He was 14. I got so many more years than most get. Keep reading to them as long as they'll let you. Then keep reading with them, sharing books leads to great conversation and connection.
