Hello-- As the campaign manager for Michael Guest for City Council, I am writing to repsond to a postcard that hit many 9th Ward delegates mailboxes yesterday. This postcard in quesiton was based on personal attacks and not the issues at the core of either the candidates campaigns. The postcard specifically called into question Gary's support for president in the recent presidential election. Below, you will find our campaign's response that we mailed to delegates today. We know that given this unfortunate turn of events, we will still join together tomorrow for an honest debate on the issues. For the health of local politics, we encourage the author of the card to step foward and claim his/her work. Sincerely, Suzie Overlie Guest for City Council ___________________________________ March 1, 2001 4:00 p.m. Dear Friend, I have just learned that an anonymous attack postcard (with no legal disclaimer) has been received by some delegates to our 9th ward convention. This postcard did not come from me or anyone else in my campaign. I believe anonymous personal attacks should not be part of any campaign. For the record: I chose to support Al Gore for President last year. While I understand the frustration of some other Gore supporters, I do not disparage anyone else for their presidential choices. It has been suggested that those who voted for Ralph Nader last year should be barred from participating in our convention this Saturday. Again, my campaign will not support this or any other effort to discourage participation. I look forward to seeing ALL of you this Saturday. Sincerely, Michael Guest _______________________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - Minnesota E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
