Helping our Candidates 
By Jennifer Sutton

 

I find myself often saying thank you on this site, and once again would like to offer a heartfelt thanks to the many volunteers and leaders of this past weekends events -- First, to Bob Nelson, who as ever hosted the "Booth for Truth" at Salmon Days, and to everyone who staffed it.  I had several people come by during my shift who said they look forward to seeing us every year, and its a nice feeling to be a landmark!
 
Secondly, to all of the volunteers who helped with the Eastside Dinner, both on the Committee (Di Irons, Mary Kanter, and Peggy Kirk) and the night of the event (Catherine Swadley, Robyn Scola, Sadie Moloney and Chris Hetzel.)  We had an outstanding showing of 220 Eastside Democrats.  Proceeds from the dinner will help us to support our endorsed candidates, and we will make history in 2010 by sending the first Democrat from the 5th LD to the House in Olympia!
 
Finally, I wanted to stress the importance supporting our endorsed candidates this year.  I cant emphasize enough how vital it is that we have Dow Constantine serve as our King County Executive, and how much Issaquah City Council candidates Maureen McCarry and Tola Marts need your support.  If you can, please send them a check, or give of your time to their efforts.  Call 'em up for a yard sign, and get an extra for your neighbor.  Read here why Seattle Times solely endorsed both Maureen and Tola in their races!
 
The Constantine Campaign has set up offices on the Eastside for phone banking, because this IS the battleground in this race.  Their offices are located at 11810 NE 8th Street in Bellevue, and shifts run M-Th 10am - 9pm, Fri-Sat 10am - 6pm and Sunday 11am -9pm.  To sign up for a shift call 206-484-7921.
 
Lets make it happen on the Eastside this fall!
