                       - SAVE the DATES -                                               

Right now I am looking out at grey, rainy skies and dreaming about summer sun.For right now, however, Democrats have a full agenda of exciting activity before summer!  We will be holding precinct caucuses on Sunday, April 15 and our county convention and legislative district caucuses  will be held on Saturday, April 28. The Congressional District Caucuses follow May 20, leading to the Democratic State Convention in Seattle, June 1-3. Precinct Committee Officers will train on March 10 to get ready for caucuses.
The campaign office opens in June and the Hilton is booked for our Saturday, June 23 Jefferson Jackson dinner. Frenchman's Bar will be the venue for the July 14 Democratic Picnic. The Democrats will host the same corner booth location at the Clark County Fair August 3-12. As our Democratic candidates announce, they will need your help and support. Also, your participation is needed in these many events.
Remember to fill out a Democratic Volunteer form. Let us know what you want to do! 
 

Help Guide Legislature

 

(02/1/2011) - Our state lawmakers convened in Olympia on Jan. 10 for a 105-day session.  While passing laws and approving a new state budget, they must find ways to close a $4.6 billion dollar shortfall.  Keep informed. Follow TVW Channel 22, news stories and websites. Contact the legislative hotline 1-800 562-6000 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.
See the website at www.leg.wa.gov where you will find individual email or phone numbers to reach your legislators and also track bills.  Support you legislators. Help educate them. Offer some suggestions for solutions to some difficult situations. As you are tracking bills, you may decide to make an appointment to go to Olympia to visit your legislators or even offer testimony in committee. Make your voice heard. Show appreciation for this difficult noble work. By working together we can help make government run more effectively.
