Seattle - Pride for Obama 0 comments
I just got this message:
We're exhausted but happy, and thankful for the amazing day that was because of all of you. You invited your friends, set your alarms to arrive on time, waited patiently for the parade to start, and when it did, handed out 5,000 stickers, danced and chanted, and made sure that the entire parade audience knew that Obama Pride was in the house! We surpassed every goal we had. We registered *577* people to vote. We raised thousands of dollars to be used for grassroots efforts to ensure an Obama victory here at home. We even won the People's Choice Award for best parade entry!!! We saw dozens of cameras in circulation throughout the parade and during the festival. I've started a Flickr photo group here for you to share your pictures from today:

very good article, very encouraging
Obama's Brain Trust
Saw Quincy Jones speak at UW Commencement today and he seemed positive toward Obama (without mentioning him directly) as did the guy from the Senior class who represented the rest and said patriotism isn't just shown by a pin you wear on your lapel.
I also saw people registering voters & with Obama signs.

My favorite post at Seattle for Obama:
Things are interesting at my house -
I'm an old white broad. I fit nicely into the Hillary demographic. I'm also a recovering Hippy. It's a long recovery process. My mind is like a broken Firesign Theater record. I live in a chair because of severe lung disease. I am tethered to an Oxygen tank which makes all my ex-husbands laugh. It seems the tank has done something they could never quite do. Although I can't go outside, the world often comes to my door. Some days it feels like the United Nations in here. There are women that come in to care for me - Linda, a black woman from New Orleans and a Katrina survivor. She's has a beautiful soprano voice and sings in one of those "black churches that everybody's been talking about. She makes a mean Gumbo. Fordowsa, a black woman from Somalia whose mother walked with her five children to a refugee camp in Kenya where she grew up till she moved here. She's Muslim but mostly she's a teenager. She dawdles and daydreams a lot. Robyn comes once a week to give me massage to help my breathing. She's beautiful and bald because of the treatments for breast cancer. She's also studying to become an Orthodox Jew. Christopher takes care of the lawn for me. He's twenty something and gay and learning to be a Buddhist monk. He made a meditation corner in my garden. My friend David comes once a week to bring me communion (I rediscovered my Catholic faith after being diagnosed with a terminal illness - funny how that happens)
We are all Obama supporters.
I need a steady hand with a camera. Oh and did I say that Linda has one terrific soprano voice?
