		While Haskett admitted that she only wrote down these points after learning that HALO would be seeking a proclamation for a July 1995 Gay Pride Weekend, she said she first conceived them 1-1/2 years before to avoid making a proclamation for an abortion rights rally.
		Haskett felt that to either give up the practice of proclamations or to refer requests for them to the City Council would weaken her leadership position.
		Haskett said she would be willing to issue a proclamation for a group that refused to hire gays and lesbians, but would not do so for one that similarly discriminated against fls, women or people with disabilities.

		Haskett has a reputation for absolute integrity: She would never turn her back on God by issuing a statement that conflicts with her Christian convictions.

		The battle for mayor of London is entering its final week and aside from the use of a wooden chair bearing the slogan: "Dianne Haskett, AWOL," the two top candidates are not planning to use any secret weapons to conclude their campaigns.

		Although "the wording of the proclamation was quite benign, it was the possible use to which it might be put, to lend credence to an organization that apparently has white supremacist ties" that led council to rescind the proclamation, London Mayor Dianne Haskett explained.
		Such a proclamation could be construed as "an endorsement of the organization and its activities and [would] lend support and often credence to what it stands for," she added.
		Malpass said the proclamation's words did not contravene city guidelines and he suggested failure to approve it could have put the municipality in jeopardy of being accused of discrimination.

	Red Tory: Dianne Haskett Doesn’t Hate Veterans!
		Blah, blah, blah…” This campaign Haskett is running just never fails to amaze in its, flaccid, utterly tiresome and dull as dishwater predictability.
		But to the body of your comment, “muzzling” is a generic term and strain as you might to make a connection to an implication of calling Haskett a dog is pretty ridiculous.
		By suggesting that Haskett does not want a muzzle, "gimbol" is proving he does not support the troops, hates freedom and embraces tyranny.

		The Tories' byelection candidate in London North Centre, Dianne Haskett, now has her campaign site up and running.
		Toss in the fact that byelections are strange birds - lower voter turnout, for example - and the Tory candidate Haskett (who was re-elected as mayor of London in 1997 by a 2:1 margin in spite of not putting up any signs or campaiging at all) and I think we've got a horse race.
		The biggest mistake any of the three parties could make would be to write off one of their opponents - because if they do, they might be in for a nasty shock on November 27.
