Democrats Rally at the Capitol

The Washington State Democrats are asking any and every Democrat that can make it to come to the Capitol for a rally today. Here's the details:

Today, Tuesday, January 11th, the legislature is scheduled to certify Chris Gregoire as governor.

But Republicans are pulling out all the stops to block this. They have blanketed the state with a media blitz of television, radio and newspaper ads.

And they claim they'll have as many as 10,000 supporters at the State Capitol on Tuesday to protest and delay Governor-elect Gregoire's certification.

We need a loud chorus to challenge them.

Tell the Republicans it's time for Rossi to concede, and let the legislature know it's time to start moving Washington forward.

Here's how you can help:

  1. Come to the Tuesday rally in Olympia. Here are the details: Tuesday, January 11th 10:30 AM State Capitol, Olympia Washington Story Pole on the north side of the Capitol Campus
  2. Let your legislator know how you feel, either by calling the Legislative Hotline at 1-800-562-6000 (hours 8:30am-4:30pm) by emailing your legislator by clicking here.
  3. Write letters to your newspapers and email your friends.

Republicans are working to undermine the legitimate results of the most accurate election in Washington's history. We need your help to stop them.
