MDE BREAKING NEWS: DFL ASSOCIATE CHAIR ATTEMPTS TO PLUG LEAKS TO MDE
This is great. Donna Cassutt should sleep well tonight knowing her orders to DFL activists are always followed.

Dear State Central Committee Yahoo! Group members,
I am becoming increasingly disappointed by actions related to this Yahoo! Group. First, this is designed for leaders within the DFL Party to exchange ideas, share ‘best practices’, debate issues and keep each other informed of events happening in their respective areas. This group is not designed to tear down and smear other DFLers or DFL candidates. I have found some of the postings over the last few months to be below the level of discourse we expect from leaders and, quite truthfully, downright mean-spirited. That is not the purpose of this Yahoo! Group.
Second, I am alarmed at the regularity that postings from this group are ending up on Minnesota Democrats Exposed. For the record, that site is not our friend. And the fact that there are postings on this list that people think the Republicans on MDE will enjoy only reinforces what I have said above. We cannot continue down the path of tearing each other down. That is the politics of defeat, and we have the opportunity to do incredible things this year. I know that we are capable of having spirited discussions about issues and candidates, while remaining respectful to one another and our candidates. The postings on this group should remain confidential. For lack of a better term, this is family business—not public business so whoever is sharing information with Republican operatives, I am asking you to please stop.
This Yahoo! Group is a privilege---let’s respect it and use it to collectively win in November for the common good.

Heh.
LOL!
....personally, I find this heavy-handed quashing of free speech disturbing and chilling.
