NEWS . VOL 24 #1156 . PUBLISHED 1/29/03 Minnesota Greens: Your Antiwar Party After a terrible November 5, Minnesota's forgotten "major" party retools
by G.R. Anderson Jr. A full Saturday of populist workshops and political head-scratching is winding down at St. Louis Park High School, and roughly 100 Green Party stalwarts are gathered in the cafeteria, taking stock. A white-haired man in a fedora rises to make a final point about the party's immediate future. "How many people here have been involved in an anti-war demonstration the last two weeks?" he asks. Nearly everyone in the room, including party chair Cam Gordon, former gubernatorial candidate Ken Pentel, and Minneapolis City Council member Dean Zimmermann, raises a hand. "That is the crucial issue," the man concludes emphatically. "I want the Greens to lead on this, because nobody else is." http://www.citypages.com/databank/24/1156/article11025.asp Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
