Take back our democracy!

Washington Public Campaigns seeks public financing of all election campaigns in Washington State.

 

The Local Option bill passed and Governor Gregoire signed it on March 17, 2008! This law allows local jurisdictions to create programs that offer public funds for local political campaigns. Now we need to agitate to get our local districts to approve a trial of this system!

 

The next step is to enact public financing for supreme court races. Read the WPC news blog for more info.

 

Give back to our communities!

Democrats Work is a grassroots organization whose mission is to mobilize Democrats to perform community service projects...as Democrats. Recently Darcy Burner helped with the Green River Cleanup Project in Auburn while First Mike and Michelle Gregoire helped complete landscaping work at Dearborn Park Elementary in Seattle.

Join us Saturday September 6 to make repairs at Way Back Inn in Kent near Campus Park. Click here for more info and to sign up!
