Eastern Washington Voters thanks Sen. Maria Cantwell for co-sponsoring the Fair Elections Now Act

In December of last year, the Chair of Eastern Wa. Voters, Rosemarie Bisiar, lead a coalition of citizens to Sen. Cantwell's Spokane office to ask the Senator to co-sponsor the "Fair Elections Now Act" S.752.  We heard on Wednesday, February 3rd, that Sen. Cantwell has decided to co-sponsor this bill. The bill would provide for the public financing of federal races to reduce the influence of special interest money in electoral politics. See here for more info.

Our Fieldwork

We are proud of our strong grassroots presence in eastern Washington, and we are on track to distribute 100,000 pieces of literature "by hand" since our beginning in 2004.  In addition, we have been doorbelling, written over 30 letters to editor, and sign waving to support our city council candidates in Spokane an Pullman.  

Update: We have now distributed "by hand" 6,700 pieces of campaign literature to people in eastern Washington.  At least 4,100 of these have been to approve R-71.
