Good morning and happy Monday!
Just a quick personal update: Still haven’t found a house to rent/move into (the market is absolutely ridiculous around here!) so I’m back to checking out apartments… hopefully this gets wrapped up soon as its taken forever! Tomorrow I go in for dental surgery (At 33 years old I have gone through the total implant process and not everything took, so I have to go back under and have new posts drilled). … which I do not look forward to! It does however remind me to finish the article I’ve been writing for well over a year in regards to teeth, my dental issues and how its affected my politics..so I’ll try and put that up while I am off work for the week to heal. Also I hope to switch over some site changes so perhaps a few things work better for you all (but knowing wordpress… my optimism is not at peak levels).
As I have not been around as much as I’d like to be and apparently theres been some shenanigans in comment threads that could possibly have caused some good people to leave us. This does not make me too happy so just a warning that regardless of who you are (and I do like you all), if you are confrontational instead of conversational… this is probably not the place for you. We should be able to get along with ANYONE regardless of who they are voting for. This does not mean you have to ‘like’ everyone or agree on everything… just get along!
And now for the news:
One of the most important elections anywhere in the nation this year for our political revolution is coming up this Tuesday — and Pramila Jayapal needs our help.
Pramila Jayapal is the bold progressive champion running for an open Congressional seat in Seattle. Hailed by many as “the next Elizabeth Warren,” she was one of the first elected officials to endorse Bernie Sanders, and he has endorsed her. She helped get a $15 minimum wage done in Seattle, fought in the State Senate for free college, opposes the TPP, and has worked to get big money out of politics.
The primary election is on Tuesday, and it’s going to be close. Voters in Washington State already have their ballots. Democracy for America and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee are teaming up to contact progressive voters in the district and urge them to vote for Pramila Jayapal.
We need your help — right now. Are you in?
YES, I will help call out the vote for Pramila Jayapal this weekend!
No, I can’t make calls right now, but I will chip in $3 or more to help her win.
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren need a champion like Pramila Jayapal to fight alongside them in Congress for our priorities, from expanding Social Security and Medicare to taking meaningful action to stop climate change.
Pramila Jayapal has been running a strong grassroots campaign powered by small donations from average Americans. She’s determined to be a progressive champion in Congress, a fighter for justice and equality.
If we are going to build upon what Bernie Sanders started, then we need to elect strong leaders like Pramila Jayapal — especially in open seats in blue cities like Seattle. She’s running a strong campaign, but we need to go all in to bring her over the finish line. Will you help contact voters before Tuesday’s primary?
YES, I will help call out the vote for Pramila Jayapal this weekend!
No, I can’t make calls right now, but I will chip in $3 or more to help elect her.
Thank you for helping elect a progressive leader.
