Oh, I'm sorry...I guess I just misunderdstood when you wrote on Jan 14th:
"Do not agree, before you have been to an endorsing convention, to abide by
the endorsement. As a former member of the DFL I can tell you that the
process is flawed unless tremendous changes have taken place, since
newcomers to the party are usually kept out of party business, despite
their
creativity and fresh perspective."
You see...I thought you were renouncing your membership in the DFL and
trashing the DFL endorsement process on the way out. This wouldn't have
anything to do with wanting to help Chris Coleman get the DFL endorsemnt
for mayor would it? Well it is nice that you found a candidate that shares
your views.
Welcome back Cristy and Chris!
See you at the DFL City Convention,
Dennis Hill
