A Faithful Path Forward: Stepping Outside the Paywall Circus to Heal and Reclaim Minnesota
By Phillip C. Parrish
Fraud Whistleblower and 2026 Republican Candidate for Governor of Minnesota
February 6, 2026 – Faribault, MN
Dear Fellow Minnesotans,
After deep prayer and listening to the Holy Spirit, I write this with a humble and peaceful heart, putting God first in every decision.
Last Wednesday morning, the Lord gave me a clear dream in a sanctuary setting. A priest handed me the book to complete the blessing of holy water, then stepped away. I hesitated—I felt I lacked the authority—but I knew the task had to be done. The page was lost in the shuffle; a child and a woman nearby tried to help find it, but time pressed on. So I simply raised my hand over the bowl and spoke from the heart: “Please Father, bless this water for healing.” I carried it to the altar myself, puzzled why others were missing.
That dream has not left me. It speaks of obedience when familiar structures step back, when rituals falter, and when healing must come through simple faith and action. The “book” may be lost, but the water—representing the wounded lives of families, children, farmers, veterans, and the exploited—still needs blessing. Healing flows not from perfection or paid access, but from saying “Here I am, Lord.”
The February 3rd caucuses confirmed what many have sensed for years: the machine is weak, out of touch, and built on theater rather than truth. Tiny turnout despite millions spent, empty halls, and the same old patterns—the Lord revealed it plainly. This was divine confirmation that the system prioritizes paywalls over people.
In my January 31st article, “MNGOP’s Paywall Circus,” I exposed the details: $5,000 entrance or $10,000 “Victory” packages for candidates (non-refundable, due February 12), delegate families facing $1,200–$3,000+ in costs (hotels, gas, lost wages, fees), Chairman Plechash’s dismissive “NO problem” to those burdens, and stonewalling on basic communications. My January 27 open letter warned leadership: Move the May 29-31 Duluth convention to April or eliminate statewide endorsements to avoid chaos, rushed decisions, and division before the June 2 filing and August 11 primary. Those warnings went unheeded—because fracture serves the grift.
After consulting my team, we stand united: Team Parrish for Governor will not attend the May MNGOP State Convention.
We will not divert precious resources—time, donations, or energy—to a pay-to-play process that excludes the very 80% of Minnesotans tired of being labeled, lied to, and looted. We honor every speaking invitation we receive. But we refuse to buy favor from a broken machine that has repeatedly proven dysfunctional, prices out reformers, and hands advantages to the DFL syndicate we claim to oppose.
To my supporters who showed up Tuesday: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your 728 grassroots votes on a shoestring budget were a testament to real faith and resolve. You proved momentum comes from hearts aligned with Christ, not donor millions.
To those who stayed home, felt apprehension, or walked away undecided: Your wisdom was discernment. We see you. We hear you. You are not alone—we are listening and fighting for you.
To fellow candidates in this race: I extend a sincere invitation—join me in declaring “Enough.” Enough of the half-truths, houses of cards, and fear of naming the criminal networks (political, nonprofit, corporate, street-level) looting our state through daycare fraud, COVID relief theft, election games, and more. Matthew 3:10 is in play: “The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” Judgment on fruitless systems is coming, but mercy awaits those who repent and bear real fruit.
The hope is this: God hands us living water when we obey in humility. Healing for Minnesota begins outside the echo chambers—with servant leadership, direct citizen input, exposure of white-collar crime, streamlined government, and moral foundations rooted in Christ.
That is why we are expanding Truth Reckoning: Sundays to Smash the Syndicate—a free speaking series every Sunday leading to the August 11 primary. No fees, no barriers, no scripts—just raw truth, syndicate exposure, dark humor to make the guilty sweat, open mic for your stories, and real interaction. Party labels don’t matter; if you’re fed up with exploitation and ready to unite the unheard, this is your space.
Our second session: This Sunday, February 8, at 2:00 PM CST—live online (details and link at https://parrish4mn.com/event/truth-reckoning-sundays-to-smash-the-syndicate-online/ and @phillipcparrish on X).
The 80% are the majority who love this state and our Savior. Together, with faith as our guide and truth as our weapon—like David with his sling—we face the giants knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.
Here I am, Lord. Send me.
In Christ alone,
Phillip C. Parrish
Candidate for Governor of Minnesota 2026
