[Dewey-Darrow] Keep neighborhood listservs out of politics #2

[Adam Finlayson]

Bob, Friends--

I forwarded the message about the 3 candidates in the 4th ward  
(Dickelle did too since we check our e-mail at the same time and great  
minds think alike).  This was at the request of the person who  
originally put together the e-mail but wasn't on our list.  He tried  
to send it out himself but it only accepts messages from subscribers.

I should point out the 4th ward is just east of our ward so doesn't  
really include the "proper" Dewey-Darrow boundaries, but might still  
be of some interest to our neighbors.  Our list is the oldest in the  
area so we may have collected some fourth-warders along the way.

Since his message contained unbiased information about the candidates  
with the intent to inform our neighbors on an important topic it  
seemed like a fair use of the list.  I received a flyer earlier today  
that advertises all the candidate forums and debate.  I will share  
this with the three neighborhood lists under separate cover for the  
same reasons.

We did not discuss the e-mail list at our last meeting.  Alderman Jean- 
Baptiste did answer several questions, including some regarding the  
campaigns.  For now I think "no politics" is a good unwritten rule so  
I won't recap any of those here :)
