BP and ConocoPhillips revealed as the big money behind Tim Eyman’s I-1185

Bad news, everyone. We’ve just learned that Tim Eyman’s latest initiative, I-1185, is being bankrolled by BP – yes, THAT BP – and ConocoPhillips. They’ve each sent Eyman $100,000 checks. And there’s more money where that came from. Eyman’s I-1185 is likely going to be on the ballot thanks to all of the corporate cash he’s gotten (and will get). Learn more about the threat by reading our breaking news alert.

Obama ladies night event – join 1000+ women to help

Calling all women and friends of women who care about the quality of our future.

On June 7th at the Showbox SODO, please join me and invite others to join at least 999 other women at the Seattle Women for Obama Ladies Night out. We are hoping to get at least 1,000 women to attend this fund/friend/people raiser.

This is a very different model from other events in that we aren’t asking you to make a big upfront contribution – but are asking you to both reach out to your network AND bring your check books/credit cards.  It should be amazingly fun and inspiring!

Early registration is open for this now (register here) – so be sure to do that to ensure your spot in this historic Seattle event (we haven’t done this kind of thing before here at this scale).  If you can’t make it, still share with your network and, please make a donation for this “Seattle Women for Obama” event in order to show the support for women and the administration’s amazing support of women (and that we won’t stand for the other side’s policies against women).  It’d be great if you could email me if you do make that contribution so that I can track it and help apply it to future events (again – only if you can’t make this one on June 7th).
