Pawlenty beefs up website

Gov. Pawlenty's political director, Trisha Hamm, announced in an e-mail that the Pawlenty for Governor campaign is beefing up its website. The question is whether Pawlenty is gearing up for another run for Governor or a national run in 2012. He hasn't announced his intentions. Here's the e-mail from Trisha Hamm:

Dear Friends:

Over the next few weeks, we will be making a series of changes to www.TimPawlenty.com .

When completed, our new website will serve as a platform for discussion on state politics and a tool for citizens to get involved at the grassroots level. It will feature state of the art new media tools that will help you stay more easily involved. We'd welcome your feedback and hope you'll sign up for regular updates!

While we are still in the process of developing the website, you can get a preview of what to expect by checking out our new splash page.

Our goal is a one-stop, easy to navigate site that allows you to research and discuss important issues facing Minnesotans, ask Governor Pawlenty questions and organize with other supporters in your area.

In the meantime, the Governor is hard at work at the Capitol. He's fighting to enact a budget which emphasizes efficiency, cuts taxes, maintains important commitments in education, and asks government to tighten its belt to reflect the times.

You may also be interested to know the Governor was asked just last week to give the Republican weekly radio address. In that message, the Governor reinforces his belief in keeping a lid on taxes and restraining government spending. Click here to link to his brief three minute message on these important topics.

Your involvement will be critical, so please stay connected with our activities and progress, and make your voice heard! At TimPawlenty.com, we will regularly share the Governor's message and keep you informed of all the latest news.

We know it's a tough economy, and people's budgets are tighter, but we can't do all this alone. If you can, go to the new website and help us with your financial support to complete our upgrades quickly. Please consider a contribution today.

We hope you'll check out our new splash page and check TimPawlenty.com often in the coming weeks.

Sincerely,

Trisha Hamm

Political Director
