general and the Rainbow community in particular  ONLY WHEN THEY'VE BEEN FORCED TO, only after people have gotten themselves together to bring pressure on the government and forced them to act. The fact that the city decided to rent the Fisher-Cadillac building to the community cam about only through hard struqgle with the city, not because services like it are a basic part of the Democrats or Republicans program.

What we need is a City Council (and eventually new forms of qovernment altogether) that makes providing for the needs of the community its sole reason for existence.

With that in mind, here's how the races look in each ward; in the First ward the Democratic candidate incumbent is Jack Kirsch, the Republicans are running Richard Foster, and the Human candidate is Jerry DeGriek. In the Second ward Democrat Michael Norris is running against Republican Thomas Burnham and Human Nancy Wechsler. The Third ward has Democrat Ulrich Stowl, Republican C. William Coburn, and Human Genie Plamondon. The fourth ward is a little complicated -- there's a primary taking place on February 21st which will determine the Democratic and Republican candidates: the Human candidate in that ward is David Black. And in the fifth ward we have the Republican incumbent, Lloyd Fairbanks, running against a Democrat who will also be picked in the primary, and Human Nancy Romer Burghardt.

So REGISTER TO VOTE by Match 3 or you can't vote at all on April 3rd. Watch the SUN and other media for more on the campaign as it progresses, come to the Union Ballroom on February 27, and if you want to volunteer and help work on the campaign call the Human Rights Party at 761-6621 and let them know.

USE THE POWER! VOTE HUMAN IN 72!
