A filing reminder from the PDC for 2009 political committees:

This filing reminder will apply to your political committee if your committee is supporting or opposing candidates or ballot measures in the 2009 primary and/or general election.

If your committee is not involved in the 2009 election cycle then you will continue to file C-3 and C-4 reports monthly. **Please check with PDC staff if you are not sure what to file.**

I'm getting tired of people from Russia and China trying to create accounts to post spam, so I'm changing the way accounts are created. If you would like to have an account on this blog, please contact me via email. We'll have a conversation about what position you hold within Washington State, and then I'll create an account for you.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

For those of you that don't yet know, Organizing for America (OFA) is up and running in Washington State, and our first Listening Tour stop in Washington kicks off in 100 hours.

What on earth is OFA and why are you doing a Listening Tour?
As an organization OFA has two priorities: (1) organizing support for President Obama's policy priorities, and (2) building and strengthening our grassroots movement by empowering people to have an impact in their own communities. The core of our mission is to build support for, and educate President Obama's policies for change.

The Washington State Democratic Party History Project will hold a workshop on making Freedom of Information requests on Saturday April 25th in Tacoma.
