So 3rd ward GLBT folks and friends are left with only one candidate- Olin Moore. Olin Moore is the only candidate in the race who has put down on paper his support for the Gay community. And Olin Moore is the only candidate in this race to have won the approval of any GLBT caucus.
This may seem like a minor manner, but we have been duped before. In 2001 Natalie Johnson Lee never even screened with the Lavender Greens. Recently she voted against a measure that would have required that large city contractors provide domestic partner benefits to their employees.
With republicans controlling the state house and governor's mansion 3rd Ward GLBT folks can't afford to lose another vote on the city council. We have one choice, and that choice is Olin Moore.

p.s.: Today my tiny house and yard was littered with no less than five (5) pieces of Don Samuels' literature. Obviously Don Samuels is NOT the environmental candidate! Let's see- 5 pieces times 10,000 or so residences in the ward= 50,000 pieces of literature! I have to give Don Credit for getting such an incredible volume of literature from one in-kind under $300 donation!(LOL) Don's campaigners even tried to attach a couple pieces of lit to an Olin Moore lawn sign- a sure sign of a desperate campaign.

Also, some of the candidates apparently weren't invited to screen for the Stonewall DFL endorsement. At this time (sunday evening) I have yet to receive a request as a Stonewall DFL Board Member for a vote on an endorsement. It will thusly be impossible for Stonewall DFL to endorse before the convention tomorrow. Any alleged Stonewall DFL endorsement before the convention tomorrow is thusly bogus. With Stonewall DFL unable to make an endorsement candidates might want to post their answers to the Stonewall DFL endorsement questionnaire here on the list and in their literature. The questionaire is available at www.stonewalldfl.org/endorsements/questionare/city_council.htm .
