 Today Minnesota Majority announced a new ad campaign showcasing private sector citizens expressing their viewpoints about Minnesota’s budget deficit. Minnesota Majority established a toll-free telephone number branded the “virtual listening session” that offers Minnesota taxpayers the opportunity to comment on the budget crisis. Hundreds of messages have been received from concerned citizens across the state. The common theme voiced by most people has been “We are taxed enough – cut state spending.”
The new ad campaign features ordinary Minnesotans expressing their concern about out-of-control state spending. “We have received so many calls that we simply can’t air them all,” explained Minnesota Majority’s President Jeff Davis, “But we are planning to put all of the calls we have received onto CDs which will we then provide to state legislators. This represents hours of testimony that was never heard in the official listening sessions because legislative leaders stacked the agenda of most meetings with government employees and beneficiaries instead of private sector citizens.”
The ad campaign will begin airing on select radio stations beginning March 9th, with television ads airing later in the campaign. Sample citizen messages can be heard at www.VirtualListeningSession.com.
TAKE ACTION: Call 888-504-9011 and sound-off on the state budget crisis.
