I got interviewed by Doug Grow, a columnist for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. I talked about Log Cabin and the GOP platform on gay marriage. I think he did a pretty good job.

The link was right in post. The name of the paper -- the Minneapolis Star Tribune -- was hyperlinked to the column: http://www.startribune.com/stories/465/4960319.html

Dennis, you should be happy with that interview. Doug Grow did good on ya.
I stumbled on your blog recently because I was looking for a moderate/reasonable take on the Republican party. Keep up the good work. There's some good food for thought here.
Posted by: Brian at September 3, 2004 08:34 AMDennis--you represented us well and the article was great. Doug is one of the few columnists at the Strib who gets it right.

A Call to our Grand Old Party:
COME BACK TO THE MAINSTREAM
http://www.backtothemainstream.org/index.jsp
As Republican former Governors, Senators and public officials,
we urge our party to renew its allegiance to the proven, common sense values which unite America.
Instead of partisan ideology - which increasingly has led moderates to leave the party - what's needed is a speedy return to the pragmatic, problem-solving mainstream. Here's how the President and Republican-majority Congress can send that clear signal to the nation:
Stop weakening environmental law - and once again protect our air, water and public lands as Teddy Roosevelt and other great Republican leaders intended;
Restore fiscal responsibility - with "pay-as-you-go" budget discipline to end record deficits that jeopardize economic growth;
Put the health of millions first - and clear the way for embryonic stem cell research;
Appoint mainstream federal judges - and respect the Constitution;
Make America safer - and protect cities and towns, still vulnerable three years after 9/11, by securing chemical and nuclear plants and shipping containers;
Rebuild our alliances – with real partnerships and restore America’s standing in the world.
By returning to the mainstream in these ways, our party can regain the trust of a divided nation and earn a vote of confidence in November.
