A few more days to give your signature to Jay Reeves for State Auditor and help him get on the ballot as a candidate for the Forward Independence Party.

Today I’m out at the Minnesota State Fair for the car show. $10 to get in.

If you have signatures for me, please text me at: 763-229-1931 to arrange for me to come pick them up. If you want to drop them off, please bring them to Quinny's Sports Pub and Grill. I will be there later this afternoon.

Tomorrow, June 1st, we have a team traveling around the state gathering your signed sheets. Please reach out and we will come to you.

Lastly, if you’re in the Western Suburbs and want to drop them at my house (address is on the signature sheet), there is a plastic bin on the front step. Place them in there.

Thank you everyone! Keep pushing! Together we can do this!

Print off a petition, ask 10 friends, family members, neighbors, or coworkers to sign, and you've made a real difference.

We have volunteers and party members across Minnesota who can pick up completed petitions. Just leave a comment or send us a message, and we'll coordinate getting the signatures collected.

We need to submit petitions by Tuesday afternoon.

While the Republican Party of Minnesota and Minnesota DFL Party gather for another weekend of expensive conventions and partisan talking points, many Minnesotans are still wondering who is actually fighting for them.

Too many people feel unheard, underrepresented, and exhausted by the constant division coming from both sides.

That is why Forward Independence is growing.

We believe Minnesotans deserve leaders focused on practical solutions, protecting taxpayer dollars, and serving people instead of political parties.

If you are tired of the same political games, we invite you to join us.

Reach out. Volunteer. Sign a petition. Help us give Minnesotans another option on the ballot this November.

It’s okay to stay quiet, just don’t sit this one out.

AI should be a tool, not a replacement for human thinking.

These people talk about AI like it’s going to solve every problem when their singular focus is on profits, not helping humanity. AI only exists because of human ideas, human creativity, and human data in the first place.

Meanwhile, massive data centers are consuming huge amounts of energy and water while billionaires lecture everyone about the future.

We don’t want technology that makes us more dependent, disconnected, and complacent.

Sam Altman says the future is one where intelligence becomes a utility, like electricity or water, something people access through a meter and pay for as they use it.

But that vision raises a disturbing question: whose intelligence is being sold?

For years, AI companies absorbed the internet at massive scale: our writing, research, art, music, ideas, conversations, journalism, code, and creativity. Much of it came from ordinary people, independent creators, workers, and communities who never agreed to have their life’s work fed into corporate machines.

Now, after building systems on that collective human output, the plan appears to be to package it, meter it, and sell access back to the public as a paid service.

That is not just innovation. It is extraction.

They mined human culture, called it progress, and now want everyone to rent back the intelligence built from our own labor.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice was for the American people and the freedoms we all share.

At Forward Independence, we believe the best way to honor their legacy is by working toward a country that puts people over party and service over politics.

Today we remember the fallen, support the families they left behind, and recommit ourselves to building a stronger, more united America worthy of their sacrifice.
