Greetings!
I'm quite happy (ecstatic, actually) that the League of Women Voters of
Minnesota is supporting the Minnesota E-Democracy project in several ways.
One is their endorsement of the E-Debates, which begin today. Another is
that it has given permission to the Twin Cities Free-Net to distribute
an electronic copy of its "General Election '94 Voter Guide".
The LWV Voter Guide is a valuable 8-page document summarizing the positions
of candidates for state and federal offices on a number of issues. If
you're voting in the State of Minnesota this November, this Guide should be
required reading. Many thanks to the LWV for their support!
I'll attach the Table of Contents for the Guide below my signature.
Instructions for obtaining the Guide's various parts via World Wide Web,
Gopher, and electronic mail (for those without direct Internet access) can
be found at the bottom.
-Scott

Information About This Guide
The League of Women Voters of Minnesota Education Fund provides this
nonpartisan Voter Guide as a public service for the citizens of
Minnesota. Each Candidate for the six state constitutional officers,
U.S. Senator and U.S. Representative was sent a questionaire. The
League requested a picture, biographical information and answers to
prepared questions. A word limit was placed on responses. Answers
exceeding the word limits were cut at the nearest sentence. Responses
are printed as received except for the correction of any spelling
errors and arrangement to allow continuity of format. If you would
like more information than this guide provides, call the candidate's
campaign headquarters. Nothing in this publication is to be considered
or used as an endorsement of any candidate or party.
This General Election Voter Guide '94 made possible in part through a
grant to the LWVMNEF from the Minnesota Business Partnership.
This electronic version of this Guide is provided as a public service
by Twin Cities Free-Net, Inc., a non-profit community computing
organization. The League has generously given the Twin Cities Free-Net
permission to redistribute this guide in electronic form.
The original version of the Guide contains several tables which
are not present in this electronic version. Please contact the League
for a paper copy of the General Election Voter Guide '94 for complete
position summaries.
This guide may be freely distributed in electronic form provided it
(and all of its constituent files) remain intact and unedited in any
manner, including all credits and copyright notices.
