The Democratic Reunion: Washington

In Washington, Democrats could choose from a number of events for The Democratic Reunion. Spokane Democrats decided to focus on reaching out to rural voters.

DNC-funded field organizer Autumn sent in the following information and these photos!

Who: Volunteers ages 4 to 90 from across northeastern Washington gathered today in Spokane..

Washington Democrats Kick-Off the 100 Days before Election Day 2006 by contacting 100 Voters in a single day!

The goal: As part of the nation-wide Democratic Reunion we each committed to contacting 100 voters by the end of the day!

Young Democrats keep the rest of the group on track to reach their goal!

How: Local candidates, including our next Congressman in Eastern Washington, Peter Goldmark, came to inspire us for this fun-filled day of voter contact. Together we all made the commitment to contact 100 people each. Working side-by-side many of our local candidates kept us motivated to stay on the phones or out on the streets and reach our goal of 100 voters!

Some Dems used the Democratic Vision postcards to send a message to their neighbors, while others hit the streets and went door-to-door.

The local and national party teamed up to provide doorhangers for canvassing, call lists for phone banking and postcards for letter writing - all terrific activities to reach out to voters. Together, we'll make America better one door, call and postcard at a time!

Remember, send your photos, video and stories too!
