Dixon missteps again ... or does he?

According to The Stranger Aaron Dixon's campaign flyer handed out at his kickoff rally claimed the endorsement of Sheley Secrest, new president of the Seattle chapter of the NAACP. "But Secrest says that Dixon's campaign did not have her permission and she did not speak at the rally. As a registered nonprofit, the NAACP cannot make campaign endorsements."

But that may not matter. According to the blog, Dissident Voice "Dixon's rousing kick-off campaign rally drew a large crowd of Black, White and Brown highly disaffected left-leaning voters who share disdain for both the Republican and the Democratic Parties. This was not a placid Green Party convention of polite counter-culturists, but a convocation of angry energy from many strata of society that could, finally, one day, seed a real alternative politics."
