VOTE PAULA OVERBY TO HONOR HER CONTRIBUTION TO THE GRASSROOTS CANNABIS MOVEMENT & TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA NOW

“I am a member of the working class. I’ve worked in manufacturing as a union member and I’ve been on strike. We are not rewarding hard work anymore. I’ve lived the experience of working people with wages that can’t keep up with the soaring cost of housing, education and health care. We can do better.  I’m a graduate of the University of Minnesota with a degree in psychology and a second major in computer science. As a full time working mother of three, I had a successful career as a systems analyst with experience in quality assurance, data analysis and process design.  At present I am thrilled to an IT Director in Education.

I’ve worked with minor parties since 2014. My endorsement speech in 2014 focused on the corporate take over of America.  Since leaving the two-party establishment in 2014 I’ve focused on political process reform and building a political movement that can successfully challenge the politics of wealth and the incumbency lock of the two major parties. Paula has maintained a consistent track record:, opposing the endless wars that threaten the environmental future of our planet and challenging the corporate profiteering that has severely undermined America’s healthcare system.

We are told we can’t win, but we are winning. Obtaining major party status with the coalition in 2018 has expanded ballot access and confirmed the influence of early adopters who will continue to expand this movement.  A growing percentage of Americans recognize that two political bureaucracies in Washington are no longer representing the American people.  I am proud to represent the Legal Marijuana Now party in our efforts to end another American war: The War on Drugs.”

We hope you will join us. Friends of Paula!

IN LOVING MEMORY: PAULA OVERBY

“Friends, family, and community,

With intentional, but heavy hearts we offer the following as the best of shared consolation and remembrance to an incredible loved one, parent, and person. Paula Overby resided in Eagan, MN, and passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 5, 2022.

She is preceded in death by father Vern Overby and brother Mark Overby. She is survived by children Tyler Overby, Courtney Overby (Glen), & Jamie Weber (Thomas); grandchildren Jalan & Joey; mother Verna Overby; siblings Lori Bryant & Sharon Strauss (Dean) and many extended family & friends.

Paula achieved and overcame much throughout her life. She held multiple college degrees, wrote and published a book, and ran for public office three times between 2008 and 2022. She shared time with others, talking and listening to so many. Paula was involved with many different organizations including East Metro Civic Alliance, Our Revolution, the Twin Cities Men’s Center, Land Stewardship Project and more. Paula supported digital services as the Technology Director at the Friends School of Minnesota. She enjoyed the challenge of computer and technical communications.

Paula was loving, courageous, playful, deep, passionate, and thought outside of the box. She enjoyed creating memories with her family & friends, baking, singing karaoke, and sewing. She sewed many of her own styles and all the dresses in her wedding. She could build furniture, fix cars, remodel houses, and landscape a yard. Halloween was a favorite holiday and an exciting time for the Overby family. We never had store bought costumes growing up, and many of Paula’s costume designs won prizes in local contests. Paula was a huge part of our lives, a force of inspiration and imagination in the world of those she supported. Words cannot describe how much her presence will be deeply missed.”
