Here's some fun excerpts..... But go to the site. The story heavily
features list members Rick Stafford and Buck Humphrey:
You Make the Call
We have heard from a number of sources that we were
right to single out Hubert �Buck� Humphrey IV at
the Minneapolis DFL City Convention. In fact people
have informed us there is more to the story. We
understand the week prior to the convention Buck was
busy making phone calls securing financial support for himself in his bid
for Secretary of State rather than calling delegates for support of Sharon
Sayles Belton.
----------------------------------------
Ick. I'm not fond of the incumbent SOS (she is too much from the Quistling
wingnuts of the Republican Party), and it would be nice if the DFL could
put a credible alternative. I never quite got why they endorsed Edwina
Garcia over Dee Long.
-------------------------------------------
The article continues:
Since the convention he [Buck] has been making calls to find out if his
support base has wavered with the debacle on Saturday. This goes to show
Humphrey is good at taking care of Number One even when the person he
should be most concerned about is Belton. If Humphrey were truly committed
to the Belton cause he would put his efforts on hold until at least after
the September primary.
-----------------------------------------------------
Who did this come from? I'm curious about the sources here. Was Rick
Stafford an anonymous source here?
The story goes on to say that Buck was taking credit for Stafford's work
with the Gore campaign also.

Thanks to RT for answering my question so quickly. I'd like to see
disclosure on the web -- but it's also important to have ways for
candidates to comply with disclosure requirements easily.
Thanks also to Wizard Marks for responding so quickly......
It says something negative about the Hosmer library patrons, if the GLBT
books in a section were vandalized. That's too bad. And it seems that the
vandals got their way -- by destroying the books, they managed to
intimidate the library from having a GLBT section. It's interesting that
Hosmer responded to this vandalism by trying to make Gay books more
invisible.
There certainly are good reasons NOT to have a GLBT section, but just to
put the books throughout the library -- but doing it to respond to bigots
isn't a good way to deal with this attitude. It really sends the wrong
message.
