Want to join a 'supper patriots' Freedom First Pac, than click the link, But Not Just Yet.

Watch the Video first:


But Hold It, Don't Touch That Dial, opps Link, Juuuuust Yet

Tim Pawlenty is out fighting against big government spending - join him in his mission by adding your name to our team.

Hold that thought and not yet on the link, follow me ----->>down below:

If you're Military or a Veteran of, you may not want to follow the link to join and contribute, and many others may not want to neither, especially any "Support Our Troops" republicans, I mean the ones that Really "Support Our Troops"!!

Been getting a few of these reports the last couple of days out of Minnesota, seems Pawlenty and his staff have a different view of "Supporting the Troops", Part of Pawlenty staffer's pay came from license plate funds, and what were these license plates and why was the governors office involved in the sale of:

A Pawlenty appointee was paid partly with money raised by sales of Support Our Troops license plates. A House committee slashed $30,000 from the governor's office budget and directed that it be returned to the plate fund.

Wait now, and who is this staffer:

When Minnesota motorists paid out $30 apiece for "Support Our Troops" license plates, it's a good bet they had no idea they were supporting Lee Buckley, a political appointee of Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
Last year $30,000 from the license-plate fund was used to pay a portion of Buckley's salary. Buckley worked in Pawlenty's office as a $92,000 a year special adviser on faith and community services.

You faith based folk might want to stay away from the Pac link to, unless of course you watch the beck and are following his speak on religion and social issues, you know, community services etc..

Some aren't taking to kindly to this fact coming out in budget hearings up there:

"For money that was supposed to go to fund things for veterans going to fund people in the governor's office, it's outrageous," said Murphy, DFL-Red Wing, a Marine veteran. "The governor runs around telling everyone he's cutting all these budgets, and then he back-door fills in his own department. I'm just disgusted with this." -->-->-->

Makes one, especially this old vet, wonder if he's running a Slush Fund to pay close associates from a supposedly worthy cause to raise funds to Support Our Troops and Veterans of Minnesota what other Slush Funds are coming out of the Governors office up there, if I lived there I'd certainly want to know. And is this any way for a "Supper Patriot" to act!

Now a friend, wink wink, I'm just gonna guess here, but I'll bet this friend is of like political mind as the gov., is coming to Pawlenty's defense.

DFL Sen. Don Betzold has accused Pawlenty of diverting money from the "Support Our Troops" license plate campaign into the governor's office. About $30,000 went to pay the salary of a Pawlenty employee involved with faith-based initatives -- cash that by law should have gone to either the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Military Affairs.
This afternoon Michael Pugliese, the Department of Veterans Affairs' deputy commissioner, rushed to T-Paw's defense, insisting that his department benefited from the cash, despite Betzold's allegations. Pugliese continued with an allegation of his own, accusing DFLers of political gamesmanship. -->-->-->

This 'staffer' was apparently only a part time, as discribed 'quater time', appointee and well connected to the faith based community. And it's said she was doing great work, well if so why wasn't she paid through state funds or the Govenors office funds and not through a program that, from the sounds of it, was set up to funnel all proceeds to help the Needs of the Veterans of the State, is she a veteran!

Now if you think you're a "Super Patriot" like the gov. and a "Supporter of Our Troops" like same you might want to join him and the like minded at this: Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty and Mitt Romney together in April, wonder why the hockey mom is getting top billing, as the whole grew will join together to do whatever a group of grifters does in front of a crowd of easy marks!!

Pawlenty Unveils Vet License Plates
So here again we have a case of a typical flag lapel wearing Republican that jingoistically fawns over Veterans while yet stealing away earned benefits, even those that that were donated by citizenry who purchased these plates for that very purpose. By law, these funds, -->-->-->

They used to call this 'political slush funds', have no idea how they label it now. If you go to the article rank the main report article link is at the bottom and none were happy about this as they were going through his budget. I did a post on it yesterday at a couple of sites. Have No Idea how these folks think they can not only get away with this crap but it doesn't seem to bother them, and the one who had her salary supplemented, as a 'faith based' connection and had to know where the funds were coming from, better use that 'faith?' and get down on them knees with hands together and ask for forgiveness!

Thanks for helping to expose this business. I mean if this is a part time position, that's a lot of money to be spending. I think he's just a crook.
