Throwing Baird Out
Submitted by theunabonger on Fri, 05/16/2008 - 10:47am.

I needed to post this, to explain why I'm going to Napavine tomorrow morning, to vote for Cheryl Crist, who is challenging sitting incumbent Brian Baird for the party nomination to run for the 3rd Congressional District seat in the U.S. Congress. It is not an easy explanation for me to make.

May 13th Photos
Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 11:53pm.
Here are some pictures taken Tuesday May 13th, 2008 from around town. Included is a picture from Artisans Café, a 'mouseover' processing comparison of Capitol Lake, and several photos from the Washington State Capitol Conservatory green house (which has been downsized) including a 115+ year old cactus, as well as flags being flown at half-staff on the Capitol Campus to commemorate the death of an active duty military person:

Obama Supporters, Help Your Neighbor Project~Response To NY Times Article
Submitted by olympiaeventplanning on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 10:26am.
 
The Letter To The New York Times: 
As you said, Obama has gotten this far on hope. We, his supporters have heard his message and we want Barack Obama to know, we've got his back. For every negative campaign that Clinton puts out there, we will counter, not with an attack, but with a good deed. For every tactic of fear, we'll reach out to someone in need; for every attempt to divide on cultural and ethnic lines, we will cross those lines to demonstrate how interconnected we all are; for every sneer that's made at our message of hope, we will demonstrate how that hope brings communities together.

Why I'm Voting for Barack Obama
Submitted by theunabonger on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 1:27am.

You can never be sure, you can never fully trust the people you hire to govern, or the people to be governed. What do you do? I've decided this year to believe. To believe that our country can be healed. I've decided to come off the fence, and declare my support for Barack Obama


Please click on the image above, to see a bit more about why I've chosen to believe, against reasonable hope, perhaps, that our country can be united, and people can start to believe in the precepts of tolerance, welcoming immigrants of all nations, faiths, and ethnicities, and strong funded public education.

"The 'we' we've been waiting for to come and fix our problems is us!" It's time to take back control of this country, and put the scoundrels who have damaged our country into jail where they belong!

If you live in Washington, please attend your caucus today!
