[Mpls] campaign finance

[Dorie Rae Gallagher]

I don't think too many people have forgotten that Unions are some of the 
biggest
contributors to campaigns and the way some did their endorsements have left 
an
indelible mark on the memory not to be forgotten.

Many Union/Labor  members are coming to realize that endorsements are not 
for the best
and the best way for anyone to effectively contribute to politics is to 
process their
own opinions, give money according to their own comfort level within the 
legal
amount and caste a knowledgable vote for the person that best represents 
them.

What some might call effectively contribute, others might call control of 
the masses.
