Natalie Johnson Lee, Ron Edwards and Lisa McDonald seem like good possibilities. For City Council we need successful small business owners like Kim Bartmann (owner of Bryant Lake Bowl and Cafe Barbette) and activists from Stride and Communities United Against Police Brutality, as well as those advocating for the Minneapolis's homeless population.
Another thought David: As long as we're stuck with wretched TARGET, let's make lemonaide out of lemons!!!!! TARGET could "Partner" with "Disadvantaged" coummunites in the city by providing "At Risk" children with T-shirts that say: "Warning: I've got relatives in City Hall. " It might be the thing to make a rogue cop think twice before beating up a black youth. TARGET could also donate silk pajamas to those without homes. Heartless politicians like Lisa Goodman might change their attitude should the homeless show up at City Hall in pajamas similar to the ones R.T. and his friends wore a few years ago at the airport to protest jet noise.---------------------Peter Schmitz CARAG On Sun, 8 Jun 2003 14:31:02 -0500 (CDT) David Shove <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > So who are the possible candidates to replace RT? > > DFL, Green, GOP, Independent, Libertarian... > > Starting the talk now would put pressure on RT, let lots of > candidates > come forward, and give people lots of time to assess them.
