Current Action Alert
This summer and fall Minnesota will be in the process of electing a new Governor. As faithful citizens we must engage in the political process, by educating ourselves on the candidates and voting in November
Everyone has an important role to play in achieving A Minnesota Without Poverty! One timely way to share this vision is to raise the issues during the 2010 elections and beyond. Asking a question of a candidate both educates our future governor and legislative leaders and prompts important public conversation that educates the wider community and moves us all a step toward A Minnesota Without Poverty.
This summer we encourage you to attend a candidate forum and ask the following questions of the candidates.
Question: The poverty rate among white Minnesotans is the sixth lowest in the nation, while the poverty rate among African Americans is third highest. How will you address this economic gap and work to eliminate poverty in our state?
Question: Why are you the person to ensure that everyone in Minnesota has affordable quality health care?
Question: What three recommendations from the Legislative Commission to End Poverty in Minnesota by 2020 would you support most?
Question: What is the role of government in ending poverty in Minnesota?
Question: What are the best investments we can make in creating more and better-paying jobs in Minnesota?
Question: Why is it important to invest in early education? Would you support an increased investment to expand access to early educational opportunities for all children?
Question: Why is our state facing a budget shortfall? How can we solve budget shortfalls without cutting services for people in poverty, people needing health care, and people with disabilities?
So! How are the Children?
