RE: Per Diem Should Be Fixed

Dear Senator Pogemiller and Representative Kelliher:

I write you this letter on behalf of Citizens for Rule of Law – a patriotic organization that identifies to public officials their violations of the rule of law.

Citizens for Rule of Law are upset because the state legislature pays per diem to individual state legislators in violation of the rule of law. First, according to the Minnesota Constitution, the 2007 increases in per diem should have taken effect only after the 2008 election. Second, according to Minnesota statutes, per diem should only be paid for reimbursable living expenses beyond housing and mileage which are otherwise reimbursed.

We ask you to stop these violations of the rule of law immediately. Please inform us of your decision on or before February 4, 2008.

If you have any questions, please call me.

Very truly yours,

Robert J. Hanten

We will also be describing the neopopulist principles upon which our activism in behalf of the rule of law is based. You can learn more about MN Neopopulism at

http://www.neopopulism.org/

Neopopulism understands that only the people themselves can govern the governors. The people have to start taking control. And, we need to understand the role of civil disobedience in the absence of the rule of law.

The Citizens for the Rule of Law and MN Neopopulism Inc. are not think tanks. They are do tanks. Please join us in taking action against elitist disregard of the Minnesota State Constitution.
