OK, i need 19 other folks to run here in Seattle. Owen?! Jordan?! Others!?

We need about 900 signatures, so if 20 of us run, that's 45 unique signatures EACH - EASY!!!!

Also, I talked strategy with MM earlier this week - I was feeling stressed about hosting events, etc.

I'm going to ask to piggy-back on three or four events before the end of June.

We have to turn in our papers at the end of July.

We can use the already existing- moving currents of our beloved human community to rally the support / get the signattures we need.

We do not have to throw a big party here in Seattle or get freaked out. Our friends already throw lots of huge parties. We need to ask them if we can have booths/tables at the parties AND stilt around at out door events and have VOTER REGISTRATION folks at all of our big parties.

Whew!

Folks in other cities: Get your crews of at least 20 together - try to get as diverse a group of folks together as possible - all to get on the city council ballot for fall. This is to show that freaks know what's up, that local politics is where the power is, and that we can turn out a vote. Also, this is to put forth a new model - of running with and against simultaneously - we will all agree to be each other's advisers at the end - none of us will be dis-cluded from having a voice - we will each say what we stand for, and the combined power of 20 people (or more!) with all the skills, gifts, and connections each person brings - is so much more whole and interesting that the same boring blah-blah person "" i will run your city in a more effective way, if you elect me...blah!)...
