Vote Yes on November 7th…and Volunteer with TLC!

by Katie

Remember that heat wave in early August? It didn’t stop our dedicated volunteers from encouraging Minnesotans to “Vote Yes!” on the transportation amendment appearing on the November 7th ballot.

The Transportation Amendment creates Minnesota’s first dedicated funding for public transit. It won’t solve all of our state’s transit problems, but it is a step in the right direction.

Dave, Patience, and our wonderful volunteers have been speaking with Minnesotans at Twins games, Vikings games, the State Fair, and many other places. If you’d like to volunteer at the State Fair or with the “Vote Yes” visibility campaign, contact Patience at 651-767-0298 or  patiencec@tlcminnesota.org.

We also have a lot of great “Vote Yes” swag–lawn signs, buttons, bumper stickers, tattoos (washable, of course)–and would love to get them into the hands of people who care about transit. Our office is right above Mississippi Market at the corners of Selby and Dale Avenues in Saint Paul. Stop by during office hours, we always enjoy seeing people.

If you’d like to learn more about the transportation amendment, check out our website. And check out this photo of Patience and Dave talking about the amendment at Twins game. It’s the second one down on the webpage.

    […] Despite the glaring omission of not having cheese curds as one of the possible answers to “favorite food” at the fair, the results do seem to be good news for those who support this November’s constitutional question on transportation funding and the commonsense idea of letting neighbhors know when pesticides are being applied to a farm field.

    We had a lot of fun at the Fair. Thank you to all of our State Fair volunteers!

    AND we are getting tons of requests for Vote Yes lawn signs. Get your by contacting TLC at 651-767-0298 or patiencec@tlcminnesota.org
