For the candidates, this means that the key to winning our state will be mobilizing supporters and energizing active Democrats. This is not a state that can be won by flashy TV ads or spending the most money on yard signs. Rather, the candidates need to be in touch with _US_, the active Democrats on the ground. They must convince us that they are the best choice for President, and I look forward to hearing their reasons. I have to say though, even more than hearing their arguments - I am interested in hearing what YOU have to say. That is why we are having a Washington State Democratic Party Straw Poll on candidates and on the issues. http://www.wa-democrats.org/index.php?page=display&id=215[3] We need your feedback TODAY so that we can let our presidential candidates know what's on the mind of Democratic voters in Washington. THE EASIEST WAY YOU CAN GIVE AN IMMEDIATE BOOST TO YOUR CANDIDATE IS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WASHINGTON STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY STRAW POLl. I will make sure your voice is heard by communicating the results of this straw poll to each presidential campaign. http://www.wa-democrats.org/index.php?page=display&id=215[4] I am personally committed to running a caucus and convention cycle that gives every candidate's supporters an equal opportunity to mobilize their delegates and to seek positions in our national convention delegation. This straw poll is a fair way to help all the candidates see where they stand with voters in the state and tell them who their strong supporters are. Our straw poll enables you to share your information with your preferred candidate, allowing them to find their key supporters and activists in preparation for our February 9th Precinct Caucuses. Showing your candidate support early on can help them win delegates, and it showcases how strong your support is if you want to be a delegate for your candidate. http://www.wa-democrats.org/index.php?page=display&id=215[5] However the nominating contest ends up, the Washington State Democratic Party will support the Democratic nominee for President - we are already working on winning Washington for the nominee as well for Democrats throughout the state. You can help us by COMPLETING THE SECTION OF THE POLL ON ISSUES that matter to you and by energizing the caucus. The Precinct Caucus will be the source of the grassroots activists that are crucial to winning in races around the state. FORWARD THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO VOICE THEIR SUPPORT THROUGH OUR STRAW POLL, AND THEN GET THEM TO THE CAUCUSES ON FEBRUARY 9TH. The success at our caucuses will lead to a Democratic victory in November, so we absolutely need your help!
