Let's join together to send a message to governor Mark Dayton that we, the legal residents of Minnesota, do not want Syrian refugees in our state!

I am currently organizing the correspondence received from the governor’s office to prepare a formal rebuttal. My focus remains on drafting a legal brief that outlines the specific administrative objections regarding state resources.

November 17, 2015

The petition reached 100 signatures this morning. I am drafting a formal letter to the Governor's office to ensure these signatures are part of the official record regarding state policy.

Somali refugees have come in and are trying to change the ways of our American culture, another group of people who will not acclimate to American ways is the last thing this state needs. Let's start taking care of the true American citizens first!

We can not afford to take care of the entire world. We should worry about our own suffering citizens first. How about use that money to take care of our homeless vets, for the sacrifices they have made to keep us safe, or our own homeless childern.

Please do not allow refuges in Minnesota. This could cause loss of Minnesota families. There is no way of knowing if they are human bombers. Why would anyone put family's in danger? why risk it? Coming from a mom of 3. Please don't put us in danger.

there's no way to completely know all of these individuals are not a security risk. what database will they check? how can they trust anything they say? we did the same with the somalis and we have their kids joining isis and coming back to do what?

I'm tired of my taxes being increased every year to fund people coming into the state for free housing, medical care, food, cell phones and money while veterans go without proper medical care, housing and jobs. Its time we take care of our own first

The future well-being of my children rests on tough tough decisions that are made by you and others in office. Please do not let there be a chance that my loved ones need to face the fears of terrorism here in Minnesota. Say NO to Syrian refugees!
