Victory 2012


Last week’s health care reform victory shows what people-powered campaigns can do.

In 2008, you worked hard to elect President Obama. And with your support, the President and his Democratic colleagues passed, and fought the legal assault on, the Affordable Care Act.

The fight isn’t over. Mitt Romney has vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act if he is elected. We need your help once again to elect President Obama, Maria Cantwell for Senate, Jay Inslee for Governor, and other Democrats who will keep our country moving forward.

Be a part of Victory 2012. Watch our video and learn how to get involved with our campaign.

Campaign offices are opening around the state, and organizers need your help knocking on doors, making calls, registering voters, and getting out the vote.

We know elections are won face-to-face, conversation-to-conversation. That’s the hard work that gets Democrats elected. We’re doing our part, but we can’t win without you.

Republicans are passionate about striking down the rights we have fought so hard to win. We need to match their passion with ours and show them our country and state won’t go backward.

Help keep Washington moving forward. Sign up to volunteer, find office locations, and more:

Sincerely,

Dwight Pelz

You don’t need to visit WhiteHouse.gov. You don’t even need to be on Facebook or Twitter. Sharing the message can be as simple as hitting the forward button and sending it to three friends.

But an image like this can be really powerful over social networks. You post it, and one of your friends picks it up and shares it with her followers. A couple folks who follow her decide to do the same, and pretty soon, the message is seen by people all over the country.

If Congress passes President Obama’s plan, millions of responsible people will get some important relief. But too many people don’t know what’s at stake. And that’s where you come in.

Be a Seed for Change


I needed a place to sound off. To increase awareness on some issues we should all know and care about, start a dialogue, get people to sign a petition(s), offer and post some info from folks who know, challenge the people who think they know. I feel we should Question not only their comments, views, and reviews but be a part of a community who believe in action not lip service, my 2cents or more.

It’s time for a change … & contrary to what is going on now… I still have the Audacity for HOPE and CHANGE

I am a MOM first, earned my BA in English Lit, Activist, and Advocate for my children and my family. I am an ex-track rat, ex-cheerleader, ex-gymnast, and a lover of dance: free/ballet 10yrs or more of dance training, contemporary/lyrical, and jazz.   In other words, I am competitive. I come from a fishing based family, love talking, food, gorgeous men & movies, not necessarily in that order; my pet fishy détente loves word games I have a great love of books, words, and music –Oye Como VA

I support Obama because he represents the bold and drastic changes we need NOW in Washington, DC … he believes in action, not the lip service we’ve gotten from the last administration… he knows and understands we need to pay attention to our environment, that we need to narrow the gap between the haves and have none, better health-care. Last, our future is our children and that means better educational opportunities…

Americans should demand nothing less than … Equal rights for everyone in all its forms.

The change Americans believed in 2008 … is now one we must all take part in and fight for so, look for, sign, and or comment on Petitions available. Use the petitions to voice your opinion, tell me what YOU think, support, or push Congress for… “We the People” GOTV for Barack H. Obama 2012

My Blog: Point/CounterPoint… named after the Novel written in the 1920′s

Yet, Reflects our 21st-century society … characters in Politics and Pop culture who denounce the dangers of sacrificing humanity for intellectualism while expressing concerns about the staggering progress of science and technology.

Who also condemn opinions on class and the reactions of people as the barriers break down comparing where the various possibilities and relationships collide or cross paths while looking with judgmental eyes at the dichotomy between reason and passion.

The push and pull of social values … Point/CounterPoint .

Issues: equality /immigration/ civil rights; civil liberties / privacy; peace & social justice; foreign policy / human rights/security; economic fairness / security; environment / conservation; smart energy policy; public infrastructure / transportation; good government / ethics; electoral reform; affordable health care; education Registered to Vote: Yes
