This is a time of mourning for the US but also a time of hope as we all look to a new Democratic Congress for a new and responsible policy to end the Iraq war and make our country a leader in building a world coalition to undermine global terrorism through diplomacy and economic incentives. Please join in the memorial service if you can.

Pelz, who was unopposed for a second two-year term, said the party will deliver money and field staff to help elect county commissioner candidates, increase registration of Hispanic voters and native American voters, especially those of the Yakama and Colville tribes. Funding, he said, will come from an expanded donor base. Pelz declared that the re-election of Governor Christine Gregoire is the party?s top goal for 2008 along with keeping control of the U.S Congress and State Legislature and the election of a Democratic President. The State Party, he added, will make no presidential endorsement until next year. Eileen Macoll of Pullman was re-elected state vice chair, turning back Rosalinda Guillen 86-68. Luis Moscoso of Mountlake Terrace was re-elected secretary, prevailing 107-49 over Krystal Wood and Habib Habib was returned as treasurer. Habib said the party has paid off debts from the Gregoire/Rossi court fight and has a good cash surplus. Before the Saturday afternoon meeting, Pelz led many attendees to a Veterans for Peace rally that drew 1,000 people to downtown Olympia. Governor Christine Gregoire, speaking to delegates at a Friday reception, emphasized her ?One Washington? theme and campaign to increase funding for education, health care and job creation. Delegates approved a resolution urging the Bush Administration to start removing troops from Iraq within six months and to complete the process in a year. Also approved was a resolution titled the Judicial Independence Act calling for public financing of judicial candidates. Yakima County delegates to the reorganization meeting were: Leslie Wahl, Paul George, Tomas Villanueva, Jo Tollefson, Leni Skarin, Dany Adolf, Mary Stephenson, Joyce Hart, Patricia Whitefoot and Aaron Case. -30- From yakdems-announce at yakimademocrats.com Wed Jan 31 15:58:00 2007 From: yakdems-announce at yakimademocrats.com (yakdems-announce@yakimademocrats.com) Date: Wed Jan 31 16:16:03 2007 Subject: [Yakima Democrats] Save Tuesday's Herald-Republic Message-ID: <45C12D08.5070105@yakima.net> *HERALD-REPUBLIC SPOTLIGHTS TEENAGE VOLUNTEER'S PHONE BANK WORK AT COORDINATED CAMPAIGN HQ * Here's hoping you didn't throw away the Tuesday (Jan. 30, 2007) issue of the Yakima Herald-Republic, because the Yakima Democratic campaign process got a spotlighted writeup on Page 6C, the Unleashed Section. The author is Sky Stephenson, granddaughter of Mary Stephenson, the state committee woman for YCDCC. Sky, who attends Christa McAuliffe Academy, described her work as a phone-banker at the coordinated campaign headquarters managed by Carlos Lugo. She wrote in part, "Here were men and women who'd been voting for 20 years or more and yet every election managed to have an extraordinary amount of vim and vigor for the process. "These were people who made it their job to educate themselves about what was happening in the world, how it affected their lives, and how politics played a role in them. "In a subtle way, they made me come to realize that, even though I couldn't legally vote yet, there was still a place for me in politics.I may not have been able to fill in those bubbles on the ballot, but I was beginning to enlighten myself on who, what, where, why and how my vote would eventually work and count in this country..."pg
