[Mpls] City Council Bus Tour

[V.L. Freeman]

Greeting's List!

It's not a surprise when I saw that Don organized a bus tour through crime 
ridden areas of our neighborhoods. I must admit when I first heard about 
Don, I did not know where and on what ground he stood. So, I talked about 
this persons character to a point that was embarrassing to myself and 
family. I have come to know Don much better, and he has shown a compassion 
unlike that I have ever seen. A compassion that has and was truly lacking in 
our government.

I can say thanks to a man who "REALLY" cares, and demonstrates this in each 
and every way. For so long our beautiful but troubled neighborhood has been 
neglected by those who said they cared for us, or spoke for us, and now 
through Don, this is what is happening. I for one appreciate the well needed 
advocacy that he has given on our behalf. (Jordan residents, you really have 
a jewel) Thanks Don for being the true leader and offering true leadership 
to our communities. May you continue to always do what is best for all of us 
that you represent.

To those council members who were not in attendance on that bus, may I say 
you truly missed a great way to see and experience first hand, our day to 
day struggle with the bad and the dangerous forces that have negative 
impacts in our communities. Don't forget, you are in office as a foot 
solider and these are the same people who put you into office; and when 
election day rolls around, and it will, don't be upset when those same 
people don't come to you when "YOU" need them.
