should draw some media attention. That presents a window of opportunity for the
neighbors of Precinct 6-6 to get the three candidates seeking the DFL
endorsement for the Ward 6 city council seat (Warsame, Noor and Forslund) to
listen to their concerns about the quality of life issues in their neighborhood
and all of Ward 6. There might even be a few mayoral candidates in attendance
looking for support. See the article in today's Tribune at:

Now is the time that elected officials are most responsive to constituent
concerns and willing to listen. The window won't be open for long and it will
be another 4 years until the next election.
Print some flyers, make some signs and pass around a petition. Show your
elected officials and the DFL what grassroots democracy looks like! A small
group of motivated people can make a difference.
