The politicizing of the New Orleans tragedy is very disturbing? I would feel ashamed to put out such a media release. Minneapolis only resembles New Orleans because because of the neglect of federal funds. Will they criticize the President for getting us into a war under false claims that will cost billions and billions of dollars, and thus direct cuts to local government? These ads will just inspire people to vote for Rybak.

L. Rybak for his lack of leadership on the crime wave facing Minneapolis citizens and urged primary voters to vote for Anyone but Rybak. In parts of Minneapolis today we have crime and lawlessness approaching New Orleans proportions, but our mayor cant blame it on the weather, explained Delmonico. Instead Mayor Rybak claims that the only people affected by crime are those engaged in, quote, high risk lifestyles. I dare the mayor to tell that to the mother of the threeyearold who was shot, the son of the mother who was killed buying gas and the man who was mowing his lawn and wound up beaten and kidnapped. Its not highrisk Mr. Mayor, its highcrime. The campaign will run through next Monday and targets radio stations listened to by likely primary voters. Since 1972, the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis has represented police officers up to the rank of captain who are employed by the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. Currently the Federation has more than 900 members and is the largest non-affiliated law enforcement union in the state of Minnesota. The Federation Board of Directors consists of 10 elected members (nine from the Minneapolis Police Department and one from the Park Police Department), each serving a two-year term. The Federation president serves full-time, along with one other designated board member. The rest of the board serves part-time, while remaining full- time members of the police force __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
