When I wrote about Senator Cantwell not having comments on her blog, which she should, I didn’t write that she did have a tool that allows folks to get together and show her love. Pretty neat, folks over at wa-democrats.org should check it out. I’m going to be a standup guy and host myself one…

More on Tim Sheldon and the 35th LD
From the chairman’s blog: We had a tremendous turnout at our meeting yesterday and we accomplished a great deal. First, we approved Kyle Taylor Lucas as our State Senate candidate. That means she will have access to all our services, except funding, for her campaign. If you look at our Bylaws, we have to approve…
Civic republicanism, youth political engagement and service

We just wouldn’t say that during the signature gathering part: The lack of signatures, Fuiten said, tells him that “Tim Eyman has a knack for messing stuff up. He’s kind of an interloper on this whole thing in my opinion. Part of the deal is resistance to him.” Fuiten said, “There are millions of people…
Maybe this Eyman guy isn’t so cool
…wonders Anonymous comments at the Faith and Freedom Network blog. I was looking for some other side perspective on what happened in Olympia yesterday (it sill makes no sense to me), and stumbled upon these comments: At 2:19 PM, Anonymous said… We have allowed our Christ filled message to be co-opted by a moron Darth…
