Minnesota is facing a $5.2 BILLION Dollar Deficit. Already politicians are plotting to balance this deficit on the backs of poor and working Minnesotans. The
Welfare Rights Committee and the MN Coalition for a People’s Bailout are working on our own BAILOUT BILL for poor and working people. We will fight for MN
legislators at the state capitol to make our bill law.

We Demand

• A Moratorium on the Welfare Time Limit
• A Moratorium on Housing Foreclosures
• A Moratorium on Evictions from foreclosures
• Extend Unemployment Insurance &
• Make it so more of us qualify for Unemployment
• No Attacks on Immigrants!
• MN Must Create Jobs with Decent Wages!
• NO JOB LAYOFFS

Obama is in, but we can’t let Minnesota politicians off the hook. We need help NOW, and we will demand that the state do the right thing for the majority of the people. Our schools, health care, welfare, childcare are in trouble, decent jobs are hard to find and layoffs are happening everywhere.

Working and poor people are losing their homes. Now we see the GOV’T bailing out the richest of the rich, while saying nothing about what our families need for basic SURVIVAL!

Pawlenty and the Republican Party want to cut MORE from the state budget. The Democrats are staying silent. Don't let them. We need everyone to come and raise your voices. Let EVERY politician KNOW that THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

Take the day off, take a long lunch, take some time to join other Minnesotans for this important opening day of the State Legislature on January 6th.

Please forward this to others who would like to come.
