GOTV!!

Howard Dean

Howard Dean will be rallying canvassers on Beacon Hill this Sunday.

The event kicks off at 10:30 at Van Asselt Community Center (corner of S. Myrtle Street and Beacon Avenue S.).   I’ve been warned that parking can be tight, so plan to arrive early.  Gov. Dean will speak at 10:30 a.m., after which we’ll canvass to get out the vote.   If you’re coming, email us to let us know.  We want to have enough canvass packets ready!

We don’t want to take anything for granted quite yet, but we do want to make sure everyone has the 37th District Democrats Victory Party on their calendars.

The party will be at the Columbia City Theater, 4916 Rainier Avenue S, Seattle
Nov. 4, Doors open at 5 p.m. (come by as soon as you’re done getting out the vote!)

We’ll be viewing election returns on the big screen. There will be some music, drinks and food will be available. We’re also expecting some very exciting special guests!

Don’t miss this great event! Come celebrate the results of all your great work over the past few years!

UPDATE: Here’s a flyer you can use to help spread the word.

It’s been a long, hard-fought campaign. But tonight Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination. From his victory speech:

Sixteen months have passed since we first stood together on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois.  Thousands of miles have been traveled.  Millions of voices have been heard.  And because of what you said – because you decided that change must come to Washington; because you believed that this year must be different than all the rest; because you chose to listen not to your doubts or your fears but to your greatest hopes and highest aspirations, tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another – a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. 

Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.

For us in the 37th District, this means just one thing: Time to get to work.

Our Reps. Eric Pettigrew and Sharon Tomiko Santos will be hosting a Town Hall
