Help Bob Ferguson Today

From Bob Ferguson:

Dear Friend,

If you watch TV, you know an out-of-state PAC founded by Karl Rove is spending millions of dollars trying to buy the Attorney General’s Office with misleading attack ads criticizing work I did as a summer intern in law school.

We have a response ad on the air, but I need your help as well.

In addition to voting for me and contributing to my Emergency Response Fund, there are three ways you can help me combat this out-of-state group and the special interests funding their disgraceful ad.

1)   Sign this petition calling on my opponent to renounce these misleading ads.

2)   “Like” this Facebook page: “Don’t Let Karl Rove Buy the Office of Attorney General.”

3)   Send a short note to your friends and family by email or Facebook. Feel free to use any or all of these five message points.

Thank you for your help and support. Together we will beat Karl Rove and his out-of-state special interests.

Bob

American Heart Association Heart & Stroke Walk

I will be taking a vacation day from work to do some important work.Help Save Lives!

Most of the work that I have to do by October the 20th will already need to be done. This why I’m asking for your important help to Pledge support for this much needed cause.

http://pugetsoundheartwalk.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=1001672&lis=1&kntae1001672=86855EE2CD9847D6BC82B6683540A0FD&supId=0&team=5050149&cj=Y

In 1979 at a young age and just about to graduate from High school, I got that call. I got a call that said the family is needed at the hospital. Little did I know it was too late to say goodbye to my Father.

Yes, his mind was sharp, his spirit was strong but his Heart was weak. I always wondered how that moment in my life played an important role of who I am today.

Yes, I’m been working here at King County Government for almost 25 years, yes, I’m involved at my work place and in my community but most of all I’m a father and grandfather of a 10 year old grandson and a 4 year old granddaughter. I’m very concerned that maybe my heart is not as strong as I think and I won’t be there for them when they need me most.

That’s what motivates and drives me to help raise money for the American Heart Association and King County’s efforts. I hope that you can join me by Pledging in helping others that might need the research and services that is provided by the American Heart Association.

Please Pledge $$ for me. Anything you can, Click the link below . Feel free to pass on tell your friends.

Elections and Smartphones

With more and more people using Smartphones, there’s a powerful new app that can let them use their Smartphones to navigate through the voting  process. Key partners of our Campus Election Engagement Project, like Rock the Vote and the Lawyers Committee on Civil Rights, have been working on it for close to two years. It’s downloadable for free for both iPhones and Androids. It’s a great tool to help people surmount the electoral barriers using the technologies they most rely on, and one of the most useful tools for our project in companion with our Six Key Ways  checklist.  So we hope you’ll promote it to any networks you’re part of.

 

The app allows users to:

  • Verify their registration and register to vote (in states without online registration they’ll need to physically mail a form that will be emailed to them);
  • Look up their polling place;
  • Review key voting rules and regulations for their state;
  • See what type of machine they will vote on;
  • Receive notifications of late breaking news affecting voting in their area; and
  • Contact Election Protection via phone or email to report a problem or get answers to their questions.

Congressional District Maps… old vs. new

Because many of you have asked, our search for a single website for maps showing congressional districts before and after redistricting has succeeded! Civic Impulse’s website shows voters in the 2012 U.S. elections if their congressional district has changed since the last election AND provides side by side maps of the 2010 (current) and 2012 (new) congressional district. Please bookmark the following address!

http://www.my2012district.com/ is the gateway to finding interactive maps by city, ZIP Code or district.

Critical that Democrats vote in November

It is absolutely critical that Democrats vote in November.

Michelle Obama made a personal plea to all Democrats to pledge to vote. National pundits are plain spoken – “This is going to be a voter turnout election.”

What I’m asking you to do today is to help us out. We need to make sure that every one of you is with us on Election Day. Take the warnings about “a voter turnout election” seriously, and respond to Michelle Obama’s plea to pledge to vote.

Click here and pledge to vote today

Republicans are working frantically, promoting efforts aimed at disenfranchising Democratic-leaning groups.

Voter intimidation tactics in key states like Ohio and Florida are documented every day. There has been a rash of new laws that can and will be aggressively used by Republicans to suppress voter participation.

Republicans working to suppress voter turnout? Go figure. We Democrats take a different approach. We are working overtime to get more people to vote with our massive Voter Turnout program.

Don’t let Republican voter suppression efforts work in our state.

Please make your pledge to vote today, and then send the Washington State Democratic Party a small donation for our Voter Turnout effort.

Your contribution will allow us to proceed with a full-scale Voter Turnout effort in the next six weeks.

This is a very big deal. We need your help with both your pledge to vote and a small donation to make it work.

Sincerely,

Dwight Pelz
Washington State Democrats Chair

P.S. You know what’s at stake this year. There are important races in our state where voter turnout will make the critical difference. Support our Voter Turnout program TODAY with your pledge and a personal donation.

Contributions are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Prentice earns multiple recognitions and new appointment Legislator eases into retirement

When a new 11th District senator is sworn in on Jan. 14, it will signal the end of Sen. Margarita Prentice’s nearly 25-year legislative career.  The esteemed matriarch is currently the oldest legislator and will retire at the age of 81.

In recent weeks, several organizations have recognized her significant efforts on their behalf:

The King County Parent Coalition for Developmental Disabilities honored Prentice for sponsoring bills on rural health clinics and employment opportunities for people with disabilities, noting, “Olympia will miss her wisdom and mother’s voice for her son with developmental disabilities.”
