SALT LAKE MAYOR GAYBAITING IN RE-ELECTION BID

The troubled campaign of Salt Lake City Mayor DeeDee Corradini has taken a 
new low in the
last week of the election campaign--Gaybaiting.  She is using a 
non-discrimination pledge made
to gay and lesbian democrats as a club to beat her opponent, Rich McKeown, in 
the media.

Bay and lesbian democrats had endorse McKeown and DeeDee's strategy has been 
to pander to
anti-gay bigots in Salt Lake City.  In THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE she stated that 
she feels that
city policies do not need change.  The head of the city council, Stuart Reid, 
who endorsed
DeeDee Corradini earlier this month stated that gays and lesbians "want 
special rights and want
to legitimize their relationships."  This he opposes.

If you live in Salt Lake City, vote for Rich McKeown, and encourage your 
friends to do the
same.  If you don't live in Salt Lake City, but have friends who do, 
encourage them to vote
against bigotry and for Rich McKeown for mayor.

If you want to register your displeasure with the Mayor's bigotry and using 
gays as a campaign
trick, call her at (801) 535-7704.  You can also call the reporter from the 
SALT LAKE
TRIBUNE who seems to be adding fuel to the fire and express your displeasure 
with his story. 
His name is Jay Baltezore at (801) 237-2045.
