I just need a hundred million dollars to have a campaign that will expose Pete Staubers treachery. I don’t have it so that means I can take time to write blog posts on the many things on my mind. But That takes away from knocking on door time, which in any case, I have yet to begin. So, here are the items on my mind I have to choose from at this instant.

Representative Mike Jaros remembrance.

I read of Mike’s death a day or so before I returned from Costa Rica. In addition to the various Slavic languages he learned as a child in Yugoslavia where his family settled rather than going back to Russian controlled Poland he learned English and then studied Spanish at UMD. I could have used him as a translator on my ten day journey. The story mentioned his birth in Germany and I had just read an enrosing and alarming history about DP’s like Mike. I finished it in Costa Rica before going on the the book I’m currently reading about the Age of Eisenhower. BTW that was in my previous post

The local is found in the first page of the story of Mike’s death:

“Born in Braunschweig, Germany, in 1944 — his father had been conscripted to work in a German factory during World War II — his family returned to Bosnia after the war. Jaros grew up there until he immigrated to Duluth at 16, joining his older brother Karl Jaros, a photographer for the News Tribune.”

I looked up Mike in Wikipedia where Braunschweig was mentioned an immediately thought it must have been one of Germany’s sites for Polish workers drafted to man Germany’s production of military equipment drafted at the point of a gun perhaps.

I have mentioned Mike in 107 posts over the years on this blog. I will miss Mike. He was a good guy. I never tire of describing my first cup of coffee with him after a call telling him I was going to run against him in his 1976 legislative campaign. I’m sure I described that in one of the posts.

The Forward Party

I sent my name to the Forward Part,y founded by multi-millionaire Andrew Yang, a couple years ago. I have recieved emails from them every since and thought I should try to tempt them into endorsing me in my campaign against Pete Stauber. I’ve done nothing until yesterday to reach them which I did after an invitation to next Saturday’s “convention” in the Twin Cities. I filled out an RSVP online and then when I couldn’t get it to work I sent email about my plans to attend with contact info to two people on the invite whose email addresses were provided.

I got a polite email back explaining that since I planned to run as a Republican I wouldn’t be allowed to speak of pass out political flyers. That’s fair.

Good Morning Harry,
We look forward to having you join us at our upcoming Convention this Saturday! It’s great to have you there as we gather our community.
As a reminder, here are the event details:
When: Saturday, May 2nd | 12:00 PM (Noon)
Where: Ramsey County Library – 3025 Southlawn Drive, Maplewood, MN
We want to ensure everyone has a great experience, so I’d like to clarify a few logistics regarding your attendance. Because the event is hosted by the Forward Independence Party and you are currently running as a Republican candidate, you won’t be able to formally address the Convention or distribute campaign materials during the event.
We appreciate your understanding in helping us keep the focus on our party’s internal business and members for the afternoon.
We’re excited to see you there!
Best regards,
**** *******
Forward Independence State Secretary

I did send him this reply:

****,

Having flirted with libertarians, Ross Perot, the Independence party and even Democrats over The last Fifty years I understand the need for party purity. I will sit mute and watch your proceedings if that’s what would be expected of me. It will be your effort’s to clean up America’s loss.

For your consideration I send you a recent column of mine: Kicked out of the GOP precinct caucus
Best regards
Harry

There is another story in the Duluth Trib which did Pete Stauber no favors. It was about the surprise of Minnesota Steel workers over Trump’s acceptance of foreign steel for the construction of his ballroom. Trump’s use of foreign steel for ballroom a ‘gut shot’ for laid-off Iron Range miners
