vote No Minnesota American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) will be working to defeat all of the constitutional amendments backed by the Republican majorities in the Legislature, according to an article published in Politics in Minnesota (PIM).

Late last week, the ACLU board filed papers with the state’s Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board establishing Vote No 2012, a coordinated statewide effort that will look to enlist the group’s more than 8,000 members in defeating amendments ranging from same-sex marriage and “right to work” to proposals that would restrict tax increases and spending.

Voters will be simply asked to, “Vote ‘no’ ” on the Republican-backed constitutional amendments.
