The Republican strategy for this year’s city election is now clear. They have decided to focus state and city Republican money to defeat Vallay Moua Varro, the DFL and teacher endorsed candidate in the special election for school board.

The state party has funded a mailer that goes after Vallay. Instead of fielding a qualified candidate, the Republicans have opted to run a negative campaign.

Vallay Varro needs to respond to their attacks and needs your help to do it.

You can help in three ways.

1. Please contribute to Vallay’s campaign. We need to raise enough money to reach voters and remind them that Vallay is the most qualified candidate.
2. Volunteer this coming weekend for our final lit drop.

   Saturday and Sunday, October 24th & 25th
   9am to 1pm
   1028 Oak Bluff Circle, Saint Paul (Vallay’s house)
   Contact info@vallayvarro.com for more information

3. Vote for Vallay Moua Varro on Tuesday November 3rd and bring your friends.

We need Vallay Varro on the school Board. She will bring to the board a wealth of real world experience in education.

We can’t let the Republican attack machine defeat this great candidate for School Board. Our kids and our future can’t afford it.

Don’t miss this opportunity to Door Knock in Senate District 64 for
our DFL Mayoral and School Board Candidates. This Saturday is
twenty-four days out from the election. Twenty-four days to make sure
that the DFL slate wins St. Paul on November 3.

Come join us as we canvass Ward 3 – which is wholly located in SD64
DFL – and let voters know about the great things that Mayor Coleman
has done for St. Paul and the great progress that Elona
Street-Stewart, John Brodrick, Tom Goldstein and Vallay Moua Varro
will continue on the St. Paul School Board.

We will be meeting at the St. Paul DFL Headquarters on University
Avenue between Raymond and 280 at 10am and heading out from
there. Any questions? Call Libby Kantner at 651-485-3431.

Mark your calendar, the State Central Committee has set this year’s State Convention for April 23-25. More details will follow as the convention nears.

Our October SD64 Central Committee Meeting will be Wednesday, October 7th, at 7pm. Please join us in Room 250 of Olin-Rice Hall on the Macalester Campus. Everyone is welcome at the meeting! After the meeting you are welcome to also join us at the Groveland Tap.

If you are a candidate seeking endorsement through the caucus and
convention process in 2010 or a DFL-endorsed candidate up for
election in St. Paul in November, you are welcome to attend the
monthly Senate District 64DFL meeting to briefly address the group.
We ask that you contact us at chair@sd64dfl.org so that we can plan
for you in advance. You will be allowed five minutes to speak. We
meet the first Wednesday of each month, usually at Macalester College
Olin Rice Hall Room 250, at 7pm. We start promptly and adjourn
the meeting as soon as business is down, no later than 8pm. We
adjourn to the Groveland Tap. You are welcome to join the crowd there
as well.
