Dear Richard,

As you might have heard, Governor Pawlenty held a news conference this
afternoon at the State Capitol. In his remarks, he declared that there
would be no special session and that he would balance the budget âon
his own if he has to.â

Unfortunately, Governor Pawlenty has been unwilling to compromise with
the DFL leadership to find a sensible solution to our stateâs budget
crisis.

We need your help to make sure that he receives a strong message in
the coming days â he will not decide the future of this state by
himself.

Instead of taking a balanced approach, Pawlenty borrows, shifts and
cuts so deeply that it results in the loss of thousands of
private-sector jobs, negatively affecting Minnesotaâs working
families.

This weekend in neighborhoods throughout Minnesota, weâll be going
door-to-door encouraging folks to call Governor Pawlenty. With so much
at stake, we need as many Minnesotans as possible to call the governor
and ask him to stop being so stubborn and come to the table.

Weâll be handing out a flyer that encourages Minnesotans to call
Governor Pawlenty to tell him that we want a balanced approach to a
balanced budget. Click here to download a copy for yourself to
distribute.

Here is a list of locations where DFLers will gather to talk to their
neighbors to encourage them to call Governor Pawlenty. Please consider
joining them at NOON on Sunday.

health insurance and cut wasteful government spending. Will you do
that?

Call Governor Pawlenty right now at (651) 296-3391 or 1-800-657-3717.

Tell him you want a balanced approach to a balanced budget.

Thanks very much,
