To Palmer, Eva Young and others that have continually shown their displeasure with candidate Kallenbach, I only say you have made your decision. No amount of explanation is every going to satisfy them. That is why I have really not posted much on this e-list about the Sixth Ward.
Jonathan--sorry, but we didn't get a call and after checking with several other campaigns yesterday, they didn't get call either!!!!!!! In regard to whether Kallenbach was in town or out on his birthday, the source you cite is Martha, a campaign supporter of yours. She was invited to a birthday party for Kallenbach the Saturday following his birthday not on his birthday. It wasn't held because Dean didn't want a party. So come up with proof, not rumor or second-hand information. I can produce witness from Wisconsin that a party was held at the Kallenbach family restaurant that a party was held the day of the Forum. The Kallenbach campaign has attended all three pre-primary Candidates held in the Sixth Ward when adequate and timely notice was given. He has agreed to attend a Sixth Ward Candidate Forum on October 25 sponsored by the Southwest Journal. He has attended so many candidate screenings conducted by different constituency groups that I can't add them up. Add that he has door-knocked the entire ward once and is half-way through a second time. Tie that together with working full-time (except for a five week period before the primary). Surmise what you wish, Jonathan and others. The Kallenbach campaign will continue to listen to all people in the Sixth Ward in his campaign, be they white Europeans, Somali, Hispanic, African Americans, Asian Americans, low-income, middle income, high-income, renters or homeowners, neighborhood groups, business owners, etc. What amazes me in posts about the Sixth Ward race, is the DFL "machine" and Kallenbach. I can tell you, especially as a former State DFL Party Chair, that the DFL Party has done very little for the Kallenbach campaign. They have provided very little volunteers and no financial assistance. The Sample Ballot and the Endorsement is about it. An endorsement that if Palmer remembers he said if would abide by--but we know his excuses after the fact. What I would like to see from participants on this list is what they think about Green Party candidate Dean Zimmerman's statements regarding the re-opening of the saunas/massage parlors along Lake Street as the solution to prostitutes in our neighborhoods. Something he did at the East Phillips Improvement Coalition and reiterated to the Stevens Square Community resident Becky Moyer last week. Or, his "yes, but..." comment at the Sept. 22 rally on Peavy Plaza following the terrorist attack in New York. Rick Stafford, writing on his on behalf and not speaking for the Kallenbach campaign officially. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
