*** Democracies Online Newswire - http://www.e-democracy.org/do *** Below is a recent Minnesota E-Democracy newsletter. Check out our Minnesota Young Voters Forum <http://www.e-democracy.org/mn-yvote/> for our signature interactive event this fall. In putting together Minnesota E-Democracy's extensive directory of hundreds of state legislative candidate web sites <http://www.e-democracy.org/2000/leg.html> one of that candidates that really caught my attention in term of grass roots feel was Cy Thao an Independence Party (Gov. Ventura's party) candidate for state representative. His site <http://www.cythao.com> allows you to watch his very funny television ad (which has generated local TV coverage even though he hasn't run it yet and perhaps can afford to run it three times total). The district is currently represented by a white, left-wing Democrat in the poorest, largest minority population (Asian/African-American) district in St. Paul. It may be Rep. Dawkins biggest challenge in years <http://ww3.house.leg.state.mn.us/members/members.asp?district=65A>. The ad requires Quicktime - check it out!
