Grass roots for Samuels Don Samuels didn't set out to be a politician. He was just a guy who really cared about his neighborhood, his neighbors, kids and social justice.
When the City Council position for Minneapolis' Third Ward opened up last November, his neighbors began calling this community activist, urging him to run for the position. After serious soul-searching, Don and his wife, Sondra, decided that serving on the council would be a logical extension of what he was already doing in his neighborhood. When people heard the news, a huge grass-roots effort was born. Now ward residents have the opportunity to elect someone with authentic experience, honesty and vision, whose only interest is to make their part of Minneapolis a better place to live. -- Sarah Baker, Minneapolis. http://www.startribune.com/stories/563/3617183.html -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
