Oh! Feingold visits, Prell picnics - go see it all!

Section: Washington State Topic: Election news/info

Wanted to share a couple events that I think are important for Washbloggers to take part in:

First, many of you may have heard that Russ Feingold is coming to Seattle this Saturday to support Maria Cantwell. The twist they've put on the visit, which I think is a tremendous use of activist energy, is that after the rally they're sending folks out into the neighborhood to canvass for Cantwell. Switzer says ALL political rallies should be immediately followed by a canvass, but who's listening to me? Clearly no one, as I distinctly recall telling everyone to vote for Dean at their caucuses. (We see how well that went...)

Anyhoo, here's the scoop: This Saturday, May 20, at Whittier Elementary School (1320 NW 75th St., Seattle) at 12:30pm. If you'd like to hear Senator Feingold and/or canvass, contact the Coordinated campaign. When I get back to Switzer's Stately Manor later this evening, I'll upload the flyer and link it so's you can see all the fun you'll have (if'n you go).

Next, I'd like to invite you to a fundraiser for a fellow friend in the blogosphere, titled "The blogosphere: is it the future or the end?" - click "Full story" to get the info...

"The blogosphere: is it the future or the end?"

This picnic will benefit BlatherWatch, written by Michael Hood, who listens to talk radio so you don't have to. Goldy from HA will be there, as will David Neiwert of Orcinus, and their special guest is Allan Prell - nemesis of radio snob willisreed and adopted by BlatherWatch when he was fired unceremoniously from KIRO. You've gotta go meet Allan.

The scoop: May 24th, 6 to 8pm at the home of Walt Crowley and Marie McCaffrey, and a suggested donation of $50. For RSVP info, look at the graphical greatness of the actual invitation at Walt's website.

Split event?

Switzy,
According to Goldy, Senator Feingold will be rallying with King Co electeds on Saturday and will appear at a fundraiser with Senator Can't-Buy-Me-Love on Sunday:

"Sen. Feingold will join local elected officials at a rally on Saturday, May 20th, 12:30 PM, at Whittier Elementary School, 1320 NW 75th Street. Afterwards, volunteers will canvass the neighborhood. (Please RSVP rsvp@wa-democrats.org if you're planning to attend.)"

"Feingold is taking time from his busy schedule to come out to WA state to stump for Sen. Maria Cantwell. (He'll also be joining her at a fundraiser on Sunday.)"

It's a shame that we will be having our Snohomish County Democrats Quarterly meeting on Saturday.

Peace,

Interesting

The neighborhood around Whittier Elementary School is the 36th District. I understand that the Chair of our district has been contacted, but I wonder if there has been any coordination between the coordinated campaign and the 36th LD.

I'm trying to picture a thousand people doorbelling in the 36th. Well, I suppose that many people won't sign up for it--will they? In any case, the idea of doorbelling is that after positive contact has been made, it's good to follow up. I suppose the coordinated campaign will be the ones to follow up, but will relevant information get passed to the PCOs? One can always hope.

This is going to be interesting. I look forward to hearing what Chair Peter House has to say about it tomorrow night.

Russ gets around

The best place to meet Senator Feingold, of course, will be at the 43rd District Democrats Spring Party, Saturday evening.
