Stop by Log Cabin Republicans and the Minneapolis
Republican City Committee booth - booth number 3089 -
near the tennis courts.

Near North
Notice that Eva doesn't say anything about meeting Republican
elected officials or endorsed candidates at their booth -- 'cause there
won't be any there!
They all run as fast and as far as they can from the Log Cabin group.
Stop at the Stonewall DFL booth and you WILL see many elected &
endorsed DFL'ers there, at the party that actually supports human rights
for GLBT people and all people. And has a long-time record of doing so,
and continues to do so.
During my wander thru the park this afternoon I did run into one elected
official. He wasn't at either his booth or any party booth, however, he did
say that he had stopped by the Log Cabin booth and told them that they were
performing a needed service (I'm not claiming that is a direct quote, but it
is close and certainly within the spirit of his statement).
He's right, people should be encouraged to participate in the political
process. Certainly no one expects to agree with all of them, then that is
why we hold elections.
I do know that over the past few years that I have seen endorsed candidates
from the Independence, Green, Democratic and Republican parties at Pride.
Jim Gibson practially began his campaign for US Senate at Pride.
It seems as all of the positions on the ballot this year are non-partisan.
Parade starts at 11, I'm walking with one of the Council candidates. Should
be a good day for the final day of the Pride Fest.
