Welcome to Connect! Unite! Act!
A daily series, Connect! Unite! Act! seeks to create face-to-face networks in each congressional district. Groups regularly socialize but also get out the vote, support candidates and engage in other local political actions that help our progressive movement grow and exert influence on the powers-that-be. Visit us at Daily Kos every morning at 7:30 A.M. Pacific Time to see how you can get involved. The comment thread is fun and light-hearted, but we're serious about moving the progressive political agenda forward. |
If you are new to the site or have been lurking, we invite you to join in the friendly banter here. Don’t be shy, you have something to say. Say anything, it will be well received. Join any of our communities at Daily Kos, just for camaraderie!
Photo Recap of our San Francisco Bay Area’s
after-election gathering in the Wine Country
About 35 of us met on Saturday afternoon, November 19th at the home of Andrew McGuire in the Wine Country north of Santa Rosa. It was a rainy day but it didn’t matter with his spacious great room and covered veranda surrounding the house. Andrew’s home is encircled by vineyards, which were particularly beautiful after the much needed rain.
Andrew and I grilled two whole salmon on mesquite coals while the rest of the crew provided excellent side dishes and appetizers.
After the salmon buffet, we sang Happy Birthday to Meteor Blades. It’s his big 70 this year.
Next, Meteor Blades called the group to order to present an award to The Plumber Family for their campaign work on behalf of Mike Honda. MB explained that you gotta get back in the saddle after being bucked off. Glen The Plumber is already doing that with his last diary: Ro Khanna lies about Breitbart interview …and it only gets worse from there #CA17.
The trophy inscription reads:
It was a much needed healing and group hug event. It was a time to appreciate like-minded friends, relax and enjoy their company.
As always, this is Open Thread Time!
