Just a reminder that Twin Cities Quorum, the metro area's chamber of commerce for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender business community, and its' allies, will sponsor a mayoral debate Tuesday night (see information release below). We invite all metro area candidates listed on this November's ballot to attend so they may be introduced by name to the audience.
For Immediate Release: Minneapolis mayoral candidates R.T. Rybak and Sharon Sayles Belton will participate in a debate hosted by Twin Cities Quorum, Tuesday, October 30, 7:00 p.m. � 8:30 p.m. at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs Cowles Auditorium. The Humphrey Institute is located at 301 19th Avenue South, Minneapolis, on the University of Minnesota�s West Bank. As with all Quorum events, it is free and open to all interested parties. Other candidates for office are invited to attend so they can be introduced to the audience. Both mayoral candidates may address the audience on any subject they wish during opening and closing statements, although they are encouraged to share their views for the economic development of Minneapolis and the role they envision for the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender (GLBT) community. Audience members will be given the opportunity to submit questions to the candidates with a moderator empowered to ask related follow-up questions. One of the most exciting aspects will be an actual head-to-head debate segment in which each candidate will be allowed to pose up to three questions to the other. Candidates will be allowed one minute to respond with a 30-second rebuttal reserved for the candidate who posed the question. Quorum is a Twin Cities metro chamber of commerce that unites GLBT and GLBT-allied businesses, professionals and organizations. Quorum�s mission is to foster economic activity and provide education, networking opportunities and information to members who wish to enhance their careers and/or businesses. Candidates and media representatives are encouraged to check out the Quorum website at www.twincitiesquorum.com or contact Alan Hooker, (612) 730-6041, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________ 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
