> EDITORIAL > > NRP: reform it or replace it > By: Pauline Thomas > Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder
Although tactically I appreciate the added pressure for reform within the NRP, I am appalled by its character. It seems that the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder's concern revolves around the lack of benefits for a particular group, rather than its inherent lack of representation for many classes of residents and individuals. It is with sincere regret that I have observed a transition from the politics of civil rights to the politics of individual benefit. The rights of individuals should not be determined their race or by their income, be it wealth or poverty. We need to retreat from this Piece of the Pie Politics and focus on insuring that every individual in our society is represented and treated equally by our government.
