Mayoral Messages

Here are a couple messages sent to me from the Minneapolis mayoral candidates.

RT:
STUDENTS!


Mayor R.T. Rybak has worked hard these past four years to include students in the political process and deserves another four to finish the job!


Here are a few reasons to vote and volunteer for him:

-Mayor Rybak campaigned tirelessly in 2004 to get students out to vote

-Mayor Rybak fought to get a polling place on campus for students. As a result, students were able to vote in Coffman union for the first time in 2004.

-Mayor Rybak is investing in technology by developing a city wide wireless network

-Mayor Rybak has the Sierra Club endorsement for his work on the environment.

-Mayor Rybak is developing a “college for all” plan that will guarantee a higher education to every student in Minneapolis Public Schools.


Want to meet the Mayor and volunteer Monday Nov. 7th and Tuesday Nov. 8th?

Peter:

Mayoral candidate Peter McLaughlin, a DFL office holder for 20
years, is asking for your help on Election Day and wants you to come
join the celebration Tuesday night at the Holiday Inn - Metrodome
(1500 Washington Ave S, on the West Bank).  We are looking for
volunteers to help with the Get Out the Vote on Tuesday, folks are
meeting up all day at the Campaign HQ at 1097 10th Ave SE (SW corner
of 35W and E Hennepin Ave, just northwest of Dinkytown).

Why Help Elect Peter?
- Peter currently represents the U on the Hennepin County Board
- Peter led the fight to build the Hiawatha LRT line and will get
the LRT line through campus built during his first term
- Peter has the support of every former U-DFL President from the
past decade
- Peter is about more than promises and rhetoric, he gets things done
- The current Mayor has a record of failed promises and bad policies
towards students; including:
   - Failed on campaign promise to create more affordable housing
around campus
   - Promoted plan, and calls it a success, that evicted dozens,
if not hundreds of students from housing two years ago
   - Supported the closing of General College, leaving too many of
his own constituents locked of attending the U
   - Even said at a recent debate "I wouldn't want to live next to
one," when refering to students at the U
