NPI at Seattle's Rolling Thunder

The Northwest Progressive Institute had an official presence at Seattle Thunder today. We set up our booth in the hub of many others and handed out literature about fighting Initiative 912 and also using Pacific Northwest Portal.

David Goldstein was there with us and gave a great speech about "being LOUD" and getting heard in the media. One of his key messages: we need to support AM 1090, our local Air America affiliate, and urge 1090 to come up with local shows/programming.

Ed Begley Jr. was the keynote speaker and also gave a great speech, with an overall theme of "Live simply so that others can simply live." He talked a lot about environmental and safety policies that progressives have fought hard for that have worked (i.e. seat belts, air bags, and catalytic converters in cars).
