As you can see, this is not about Natalie vs. Don. This is Megan Goodmundson attacking Keith Reitman and Michelle Hill. This is about the people who had more access under Cherryhomes, attacking and resenting the people who have more access now. Also, continuing to describe Natalie Johnson-Lee as someone who is close to the porn industry is a lot like the Religious Right accusing Bill Clinton of an obscure financial scandal while continually making attacks on his character and moral integrity......well, I guess throw stones and go negative if it works. Just be ready for the consequences. Only Newt Gingrich was really removed from office. My comparison with Don to the Religious Right is mostly based on the fact that he avoided discussing is opinions on the subjects I raised (abortion rights, religious freedom and freedom of the independent media,) and the fact that he keeps bringing up pornograghy and using it to attack a more progressive opponent, a tactic used at various times by Pat Robertson and Bob Dole to name a few. Any way you slice it, Don Samuels is running the "compassionate conservative" campaign. That is a legitimate concern, and it comes off as being threatening. Tamir Nolley 9-9

As he pointed out in a recent post to the issue's list "All Northside rental property owners face this danger..." "It is vital to your interests that you act now to support the re-election of Natalie Johnson-Lee." Not only does Keith own dozens of rental properties in our neighborhoods with several dozen housing violations and hunderds of police calls... but... He also has a huge land sale (400K) at stake.... there is a plot of land on West Broadway, around 27th & Upton (where the Petro Stop & service station sits)... that he has potentially sold to be developed into a subsidized housing development for ex-offenders to live when they come out of treatment & correctional facilities. Natalie has promised to support this project. Don Samuels has promised to oppose this project. Keith Reitman has a lot at stake in this election. So do the residents of North Minneapolis who desire a vibrant, healthy community where homeowners and renters can both live on safe streets with attractive homes & yards, clean & legitimate businesses. And the residents who also desire a city council person who will not cave into the greedy developers who look to suck the last bit of wealth from the city by preying on the Northside's growth & revitalization potential by repeatedly ignoring neighborhood voices that oppose these wrong development projects. I want a city council person who does not take campaign donations from developers just days before the crucial vote needed for these projects to pass; projects that the neighbors have strongly opposed and obtained petitions supporting that opposition. I want a city council person who does not verbally oppose the growth of the adult entertainment industry, but then turns around to collect donations from these same businesses. http://skywaynews.net/articles/2004/03/01/news/news01.txt That's why I am supporting Don Samuels by voting for him on Tuesday November 8th. -Megan Goodmundson helping & voting for Samuels in Jordan --------------------------------- Yahoo!
