Come out Saturday and meet some great candidates running for office in Minnesota.
Disclaimer: You don’t have to be a minority candidate – just come by and socialize and inform!
If you’re running for office, or seeking re-election, please stop by Sunnyside Café this Saturday and speak with individuals from all across the Twin Cities Area. If you’re not registered to vote, Saturday voter registration forms will be available for you to fill out and mail (stamps provided, if needed). We are asking participants to bring Back-to-School supplies for youth starting school in September. All donated items will be given out on a first-serve, first-come basis. Join IBNN and candidates running for office in the Twin Cities.
***This is a non-partisan event and if anyone stops in to talk about President Obama’s birth certificate, you will be asked to leave.
