I agree with everything you said up to the point of ousting Paymar. If I thought it would do a d@mn bit of good, I would donate $1000 to the campaign of whoever runs against him. Hell, if I had $1,000,000 to piss away, I'd donate it to his opponent. Unfortunately, his district (64B) is probably one of the most left leaning in the state, so you'd still end up with the same result - Rep. Paymar re-elected to his 10th term.
I've said it before, and I'll say it to my dying day; the most effective way to neutralize Rep. Paymar is to make him a member of the minority party, and THAT means electing a Republican majority.
While Paymar is not beatable - other anti-civil rights/anti-gun legislators are. Our principal goal at the MN Gun Owners Political Action Committee is a pro-second amendment legislature.
It CAN be done. You can donate at http://mngopac.org/donate
