Merrill Anderson, born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a retired Public Relations Professional, Management Systems Analyst, Social Service Manager and Community Activist who lives in a log house in Excelsior, Minnesota.
He is a Military Intelligence Veteran, having served as an Interpreter of Chinese Mandarin with the Army Security Agency.
He and his wife Corrine have been married 56 years, and their son and two daughters have gifted them with four grandchildren and one great grandchild.
Merrill calls himself a Conservative centrist.
He endorsed and supported President Donald Trump in the 2016 campaign and beyond.
If you’re frustrated with the activities of the Congressional delegation representing great state of Minnesota in Washington, D.C., you’re not alone.
Born and raised right here in Minnesota, Merrill studied at both Minnehaha Academy and Washburn High School. After a brief time at Augsburg College, Merrill decided it was time to serve his country. A graduate in Chinese from the Army Language School and the United States Armed Forces Institute, and training in interrogation techniques from the National Security Agency, Merrill went on to work in the Army Security Agency (later INSCOM) as a Mandarin interpreter assigned to Taiwan. Merrill is a man of many hats, continuing to educate himself at Chinese Lutheran Seminary in Taiwan, Honeywell (in supply chain management(, the Alexander Hamilton Institute, Antioch Communiversity (in both criminal justice and non-profit management), and the Coldwell Banker Burnett Real Estate School.
In 1962, Merrill moved to the Honeywell Ordnance Division headquartered in Hopkins, Minnesota. There, as a facilitator in supply chain management (specifically armament manufacturing), and later as a policy and procedure developer for the engineering sector, Merrill focused on doing the best job he possibly could. The United States Government found Merrill so trustworthy, they granted him Secret Clearances to do his classified work at the ASA and at Honeywell.
Merrill didn’t stop there. In 1971, Merrill authored Reachout, Inc., a non-profit social service agency last headquartered at 5th and East Lake Street in Minneapolis. Merrill sdesigned Reachout to be a self-sufficient support system--operating without public funds--providing intervention services to individuals and families in crisis. Their headquarters housed a counseling center, a workshop and a thrift store that received public donations of clothing and goods (which was the sole source of support for the organization). Merrill’s enterprise helped provide direct employment, crisis intervention, counseling, job training and placement, housing, as well as personal needs like clothing and furniture to thousands of individuals and families. As CEO, Merrill guided Reachout through nearly 33 years of operation.
WHY AM I A CANDIDATE?
I believe that for the safety and security of our Citizen's Lives, Liberties and Property in Minnesota and across America we have to break the political machine stranglehold and challenge the control of our elected and appointed officials by self appointed “kingmakers”. The trend among our burgeoning puppet like "political class" has been toward an intertwining Globalism and Socialism, which is NOT what my constituents say they want.....
If it tickles your funny bone at all to shake up the political kingmakers....and think a fresh Minnesota Congressional Delegation might be just the thing...then be one of my Volunteers...get on your computer and SHARE this site with every friend you can think of. .
Let's give the political pros and pundits something to chew on for the next few decades....and make some history!
....Vote for Me....When I say what I'll do...I'll do what I say!
To those already helping....Thank You and God Bless....

NewsSaturday, February 23, 2019 12:37 AMMINNESOTANS! DOES KEITH ELLISON REPRESENT YOU?
Published by Merrill Anderson
DOES KEITH ELLISON REPRESENT YOU? #KeithEllison, #Minnesota's new Attorney Genera,l has joined a lawsuit against President #Trump's effort to secure the borders and fulfill his Constitutional mandate to protect the lives, liberty and property of American Citizens. Ellison was elected with significant cash support from Open Borders globalist financier, #GerogeSoros' family and from #CAIR, which also supports globalism. If you feel it is wrong to interfere with the President's sworn duties to protect and preserve America, please SHARE. Wednesday, February 20, 2019 12:00 AM NANCY PELOSI IMPEACHMENT PETITIONMargaret Green and her crew deliver Nancy Pelosi Impeachment Petition with 185, 000 signatures to Pelosi's office. Tuesday, January 8, 2019 4:19 PM COLLUSION TO INFLUENCE AMERICAN ELECTIONS
If our government is really concerned about out of country or "global'' influences in our elections they probably need look no further than George Soros and his groups, who are much more representative of the "New World Order: who's propagators are not looking to serve U.S. national interests but are often at odds with the wishes of the American people and with our rule of law under the Constitution. Case in point: The clear connections between the following cabal of political players, all now showing brightly in our news feeds: Soros' NWO Globalists, Muslim Brotherhood's CAIR-HAMAS, Linda Sarsour, Rashida Talib, Keith Ellison & Ilian Omar. COLLUSION? I would suggest the closely linked groups and individuals above do more to conspire against American interests, the Constitution and our rule of law each single day than Donald Trump has done in his lifetime....or ever will do. "Investigations" which have been run against Trump are largely "False Flag" operations designed to divert our attention from high crimes and misdemeanors by the "in" crowd I often refer to as the Soros - Obama - Hillary Cabal and among our elected officials and their fellow travelers in a highly politicized and weaponized bureaucracy. Where the Hell are the American heroes who are going to put o n their stable boots, get their pitchforks and clean the offal out of the People's House and the system it is supposed to oversee? Saturday, November 3, 2018 12:08 AM SOCIALISM VS COMMON SENSE
THE NOVEMBER 6TH ELECTIONSOCIALISM VS COMMON SENSE By now you have heard so much from so many sides on so many "issues" you probably feel somewhat frustrated at the obvious attempts by interest groups to win you to their position by "any means necessary".....to try to "scare" folks into voting for their candidates. I'm and old guy, I've seen a lot of elections come and go...but I've never seen one where there was ONE MAJOR ISSUE so well delineated. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE FULL BLOWN RADICAL SOCIALIST. During the Obama administration, the radicals in the party were successful at gaining full control over the Democrats political machinery, the #DNC, which is now "run" by Hard Left Tom Perez and his Socialist sidekick, Keith Ellison (who favors Open Borders, Antifa, Sharia Law, is funded by George Soros and wants to be Minnesota's next Attorney General). Voting patterns among our current Minnesota Senatorial delegation (Klobuchar and Smith) show them to closely follow the dictates of the Democrat "leadership" as embodied in Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Their beliefs and actions are a long way from the beliefs of and not favorable to Minnesota middle Americans. Their performance and their loyalty to a globalist (NWO) rather than a Minnesota based agenda creates a stark choice. We can vote for the status quo, for a cabal of, for and by Internationalists, or, we can take back our government by voting for good, just and proper representation under the rule of law. If you vote Democrat this time, you're voting for Socialism, plain and simple. If you vote Republican, we have a fighting chance to preserve our fundamental rights and values. I'll be voting a straight Republican ticket. How about you? Tuesday, October 30, 2018 7:16 PM #BLEXIT & #WALKAWAY
The happiest people in #politics today seem to be those in the #BLEXIT and the #WALKAWAY movements. So glad to see them enjoying themselves as Patriot Americans again!
