The Saturday following our meeting, Chris Widener will be kicking off his campaign in Seattle at 5:00 pm at The District, 4507 Brooklyn Ave NE.

Please join us tonight in Magnolia for the November meeting of the 36th District Republicans. This will be our last meeting of the year. It’s at the United Church of Christ, 3555 W McGraw St and begins at 7:00 pm. Enterprise Washington, a pro-business association, will be sharing information with us on the state of politics in the 36th and beyond.
Also, if you haven’t done it already, please go to www.kcgop.org and sign up for the Fall dinner, coming up this Saturday. This year the dinner will be a cut above the usual banquet fare and there will be many auction items available for bid.
I hope to see you at both events.

PS - The dinner is an important fund raising event and helps the Party raise money to support candidates in the 2010 races. If you cannot attend the dinner, please go online and make a contribution to KCGOP. Any amount helps.

The fall dinner is a week from Saturday. If you haven’t done so already, please sign up for it at www.kcgop.org.
This is a vital activity for the Party, providing funds to keep the organization strong so it can support our candidates in the coming year’s legislative races. We have an opportunity to take back a few seats but that requires your help. The 36th is being asked to fill a table but we cannot do that without you.
Michael Medved will be the keynote speaker. The 2009 KCGOP dinner will be held Saturday, November 21, in the Grand Ballroom of the Hyatt in Bellevue. Please go to www.kcgop.org and make your reservations.
Thank you,

Please spend an hour or more at the phone bank for Susan Hutchison between now and election day if you possibly can. The phone bank is at 4017 NE 45th St, Seattle, and operates 9am to 9pm.
I spent the last several days at the King County Elections Office observing the ballot processing. I can tell you that it is a close race but we really need to get out our vote for Susan is going to beat Dow.
Please do what you can to help.

Here is a message from the KCGOP, updating plans for phone banks and the final push before election day. Note that we can make calls from Hutchison HQ or from KCGOP offices in Bellevue if you are in that area.
There will not be phone banks at W Nickerson as planned earlier. If you have any questions, please leave a comment.
KCGOP Team –
We are working in conjunction with the Hutchison campaign and other local campaigns to plan a Phone Bank Super Saturday the last Saturday before Election Day. We’re heading into the final push and we need to make sure we do everything we can to bring our candidates across the finish line!
Voter turnout is still under 20% countywide, which means there are A LOT of voters yet to contact. To that end, we are planning on a countywide effort to phone bank throughout this week at our regularly scheduled phone banks, but we also want a big focus on Saturday. I know it’s Halloween, so we will keep the phone bank hours within reason.
For the city districts, phone banking will take place at the Hutchison HQ. For you east siders, we are working on a Bellevue location, but I also have a few other locations I’m working on so folks don’t have to travel too far from home.
We wanted everyone to be aware that we’re going to start working on the logistics first thing Monday morning, so you may be receiving a phone call from either Jason or myself.
In addition, we also wanted to let you know we’ll be extending phone banking hours at the KCGOP office. The office will be open for phone banking in the evening tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday only if need be, Sunday afternoon, Monday evening, and Tuesday during the day. Please let your PCOs know they are welcome to come and phone bank at any time.

Election day is coming fast and it is essential that we get out the vote. Susan Hutchison has a real chance at taking the County Executive office and others we have endorsed are in tight races. Let’s get every vote possible for them.
The 36th has been asked to staff the phone bank for just three days, Wednesday, October 21st, Wednesday, October 28th, and Monday, November 2nd from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm. The phone bank is in our District, making it as convenient as possible. It is in the offices of Approach Management Services, 130 Nickerson Street, Suite 305, Seattle, WA 98109 [map]. This is east of Seattle Pacific on the Ship Canal side of the street. Parking is available at the building.
Please put it on your schedule and plan on joining us this Wednesday and the following days listed above.
Thank you in advance for helping.
UPDATE: Please see the updated post on this!
