Hi all, I’m part of a wonderful political fundraising group called "Fighting for the Majority" here in Washington. This group was formed in the 1990s after Washington state passed a "defense of marriage" bill. The goal of the group is to get democrats elected, and to avoid ever having our rights tramples by bigoted Republicans again. Tonight is our annual fundraising event. Please Donate here to help keep Washington blue!! More below the fold.
This groups is simple: no fancy administration (all volunteer), no flashy campaigns, no lobbying. What we do is raise as much money as we can, and pass it on to the state caucuses for senate and house. We have been very successful in keeping our state government blue, and that has resulted in increased domestic partnership benefits, and in legal protections against discrimination for the LGBT / AIDS community. But we have a long way to go. As many of you know, the RNC comes in to state races quite often, and can flip control of state houses and state senates quite easily if they are close. Once that flip happens, you get regressive taxation, and denial of basic civil rights.
Please donate to this group. Your donation will go directly to the caucuses, who put the money where it will make the biggest differences. We are the largest funder of those caucuses, so our contributions always get recognized.
If you want to attend tonight’s event, please go to the website to wind out more about it, and show up with a check, or make a donation online. The event is always really great, and the state house speaker (Frank Chopp) and the WA state senate majority leader (Lisa Brown) will be there, as well as a lot of other WA state politicians, ready to have their ears bent.
