A bit of positive news from North MPLS: Booker T Hodges and Kamal Buchanan are the first black ticket for governor in the states history. Booker is also the youngest candidate at 25. Unfortunately until receiving a racist note at the State Fair ( http://www.startribune.com/stories/468/3194443.html) their campaign has been largely ignored by the major media, putting them at even more of a disadvantage than the well funded major parties. Which brings me to my point until Sept. 3 individuals can "loan" up to $50 to one candidate that will be refunded in 6 weeks. If a campaign gets enough they qualify for matching funds. If you haven't already you should consider supporting a Local candidate. Brian Monroe currently Phillips Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com |
