		<description>Ms. Anderson&#039;s writing reminds me of the labels on the Dr. Bronner&#039;s magic soap bottles&quot; - in style that is.  His content actually makes a lot more sense...and you get some good soap inside.

Only hard work-God’s Law can save us, but if we teach only our clan? We’re all hated then. So we must teach friend &amp; enemy, the whole Human race, the full-truth, hard-work, free speech, press-&amp;-profit sharing Moral ABC’s All-One-God-Faith, lightning like, 6 billion strong, for we’re All-One or none!

What God does send receive in glad wholesomeness! To strive for greater wealth fortells thy fall. Here is no home, here is but wilderness. Forth pilgrim, forth!

For we’re ALL-ONE OR NON! ALL-ONE LISTEN CHILDREN ETERNAL FATHER ETERNALLY ONE! EXCEPTIONS ETERNALLY? ABSOLUTE NONE!

A great teacher, must first a self-supporting hard-worker be, like Alesen-Baeck-Carnegie-Cousteau-Hammer-Leibman-Paine-Pike-Sanger-Spinoza-Strauss-Szaz-Wilke-Yadin-Zamenhof, or he’ll turn our greatest teaching into spades, to bury our people! “All people!” added Carpenter Jesus entering manhood! Manhood!“DILUTE! DILUTE! OK!”</description>

		<description>Huge blocks of text? Check. Crazy fundamentalist ranting? Check. Absolute delusion about the necessity of her unwelcome proselytizing? Check. Complete misunderstanding of the word &quot;Creator&quot; in the constitution? (Seriously lady, they left that one ambiguous on purpose. If they meant &quot;Christian God, Father of Jesus Christ&quot; they would have written that instead) Check.



Conclusion? Bitch is crazy.</description>

		<description>Rae Anderson is the Republican Party precint chair of ward 1 precint 4 of Fridley. That 1 precint out of 17 precints in HD 50A, which covers Columbia Heights, Hilltop, and part of Fridley. Rae is not the &quot;Republican Party precint chair of Fridley.&quot;
I believe there were 7 people at the caucus for W1 P4. Rae was quite willing to let someone else be precint chair and nobody else was willing.
It can be hard to find people to be candidates. At least we have 2 people willing to run for State Senate.</description>

		<description>FYI for Andy B&#039;s readers:  Here is the rest of one the quotes that Andy &#039;mismanaged&#039;--to set the record straight. It is  right below a very PURPOSELY EMBOLDENED TALKING POINT in my blog, stating that &quot;Freedom of worship...&quot; is one of our rights, and it is for all--actually for those not yet citizens as well. They, too, worship as they choose on American soil.  Andy might&#039;ve missed that talking point, right there directly adjacent to one of his partial quotes. 

see www.hartanderson.org

Here is the quote for Andy B: 2-2-10 &quot;Socialized medicine has been a tool of SUBJECTION used in other countries to eliminate privacy and to ignore the despair of some people who don’t count as much as others, and forgetting the phrase [that all], “… are endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights.” So it is easy to forget Who is in charge in America. If God be God, give honor to Whom honor is due. Christians, God asks us to humble ourselves and pray and turn from our wicked ways, so God will hear from heaven and forgive our sins, and heal our land. Second Chronicles 7:14 is not written to unbelievers. Christians could start something good, like healing and repentance for the evil we entertain and endure and express. Turn. Pray. Let’s do our part.

For my friend Laura: You&#039;re right, in part.  Saving souls is what Christians would like to see happen, a good thing hopefully included in &#039;life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness&quot;. And both our house and our senate candidate [me] spoke at our caucus 2-2-10, and we included quotes from the Bible with values designed to save our culture, if not our souls. But &#039;soul saving&#039; is not what politicians can do, or what humans can do, for that matter--it&#039;s what God does. To paraphrase: &#039;You can lead a soul to water but you can&#039;t make him drink or think.&#039; It&#039;s not our job to drink or think for him--it&#039;s his or her choice. A sad comment from scripture states &quot;My people perish for lack of knowledge...&quot; a quote attributed to God, Himself, saying even He will not force or form a relationship between an unwilling human and Himself. Only God can create a newborn believer out of a &#039;wannabe&#039; believer, birthing one who clings to and trusts in Jesus Christ as Savior. [Note: Lee Stroebel, former aethist, &quot;The Case for Christ] Laura asked to get to know God to get her own soul saved--or not. Her choice. I have long really liked, respected and admired Laura too much to &quot;lambast&quot; her partial recall of some local events. She often humbly states she&#039;s &#039;a newbie&#039;--not anymore, right Laura? I took time to know her and invited her to run for my house district&#039;s [HD50A] treasurer--for good fiscal reasons. I chaired HD50A from June 2008 to April 2009--long enough to start some activism and reform of our area with an improved constitution. All that while the Republicans here got some unasked for Tea Party type kick in the pants, so to speak! We got into the fray. I can admit apathy abated when I became chair, with some Tea Party help and with Ron Paul&#039;s personal visit. Apathy here continues to be abated, for strong and right reasons, involving more citizens, who are way above average! During my leadership we got the first &#039;soul&#039; vetted, funded and elected to the school board in eons...and it was a God-saved soul, too, we noted! Treasurer Laura is a treasure, and has a strong ability to keep our financial records in order. She has every right not to save souls--but she has saved and will save us dollars. True, I was not re-elected to HD50A as chair. I strongly supported another candidate, even though I let my name be placed on the ballot. Placing my name into that mix caused a flurry of involvement--for some reason.  We elected a new chair who recently &#039;mismanaged&#039; my blog quotation because he didn&#039;t research the actual quotes given to him by Andy B, apparently. But he&#039;s human, and thoroughly engaged in winning seats in the 2010 election.  Our new chair is looking for strong leaders and winners. I say,look my way--I&#039;m betting he votes for me, and that Laura will,too--if they expect to actually win Senate District 50A back for &#039;we the people&#039;. The people here pay and pay--and now are also paying attention!  One by one we win choose to win seats back, not for the Republicans or the Democrats or the Tea Party, but only for the people of our area--who can believe again in 2010, who will vote to get back some respect &quot;for the people&quot; in Senate District 50.

		<description>Rae ran for chair of the BPOU HD50a, she lost, and it wasn&#039;t even close! 

Rae is also permitted to use her first amendment right, however skewed her views or her presentation. The GOP and specificaly the GOP in SD50, can not, and do not, sensor speech or views. 

A precinct chair is little more than a block captain in this context. She has no executive vote, chairs no committee and in my view, has no chance of being endorsed. 

This is a free and open process and we have taken great pains to do a lot of outreach to every religion, and culture. I feel like I have been personally accused of holding her views, and I am deeply offended! 

We have a convention on Thursday the 18th, and THEN we have our endorsing convention on March 20th. I sure hope there is the follow-up on how sane our delegates are! We are far more interested in out-of-control spending, personal freedoms (this includes religous freedom) and the job-killing taxes that are coming our way! The main talk that I heard at caucus was the outrageous waste in government, the high property taxes and the intrusion of government into our lives. Saving souls wasn&#039;t on the ballot.</description>

		<description>&quot;The impression that this article wishes to give off is that Anderson is some force in the local GOP scene&quot;

Baloney.  The quote from Carleton Crawford makes that clear.

&quot;We are offered as proof of her prominence and popularity a laundry list of Anderson’s positions and exertions within the GOP.&quot;

The laundry list is proof of prominence and popularity?  Based on what?  Is that conneaction supported in some other part of the story that only you can read?</description>

		<description>BTW - you didn&#039;t quite get the Leslie Davis point.  Right now, he&#039;s facing off against a raft of GOP hopefuls for the endorsement.  Until Davis obtains the endorsement of the GOP delegates, it would be quite odd to suggest that he is &quot;facing off&quot; against the eventual DFL Gubernatorial candidate.  You&#039;d be skipping a crucial step - the actual endorsement.  That&#039;s also the position in which Anderson currently finds herself, seeking the endorsement for the right to face off against Chaudhary.

Perhaps you&#039;re under the mistaken assumption that Anderson&#039;s endorsement from 2006 is still in effect.  It is not.  She is not the currently-endorsed SD50 GOP candidate to face Chaudhary.  As of today, there is no endorsed 2010 GOP candidate to face Chaudhary.  

She receives no support, financial or otherwise, as a result of her 2006 endorsement.  As far as the 2010 endorsement goes, she&#039;s on the same footing as anyone else who wishes to run; she&#039;s not at the front of any imagined line of aspirants.

Her position as a precinct chair is also irrelevant in relation to the SD50 endorsement.  It provides her no special standing, no &quot;leg up&quot;, no sort of &quot;pre-approval&quot; for endorsement.  Like I said previously, being elected precinct chair in a GOP backwater like Fridley requires little more than a pulse.  You want the job?  You&#039;re probably going to get it, for what it&#039;s worth (nothing).</description>

You&#8217;d be skipping a crucial step &#8211; the actual endorsement.  That&#8217;s also the position in which Anderson currently finds herself, seeking the endorsement for the right to face off against Chaudhary.</p>
<p>Perhaps you&#8217;re under the mistaken assumption that Anderson&#8217;s endorsement from 2006 is still in effect.  It is not.  She is not the currently-endorsed SD50 GOP candidate to face Chaudhary.  As of today, there is no endorsed 2010 GOP candidate to face Chaudhary.  </p>
<p>She receives no support, financial or otherwise, as a result of her 2006 endorsement.  As far as the 2010 endorsement goes, she&#8217;s on the same footing as anyone else who wishes to run; she&#8217;s not at the front of any imagined line of aspirants.</p>
<p>Her position as a precinct chair is also irrelevant in relation to the SD50 endorsement.  It provides her no special standing, no &#8220;leg up&#8221;, no sort of &#8220;pre-approval&#8221; for endorsement.  Like I said previously, being elected precinct chair in a GOP backwater like Fridley requires little more than a pulse.  You want the job?  You&#8217;re probably going to get it, for what it&#8217;s worth (nothing).</p>
