Connect! Unite! Act! Seattle & Puget Sound Kos Meet-up Info — What if...?

A daily series, Connect! Unite! Act! seeks to create face-to-face networks in each congressional district. Groups regularly socialize but also get out the vote, support candidates and engage in other local political actions that help our progressive movement grow and exert influence on the powers-that-be. Visit us at Daily Kos every morning at 7:30 A.M. Pacific Time to see how you can get involved. The comment thread is fun and light-hearted, but we're serious about moving the progressive political agenda forward.

The orange pinpoints are the location of each organized group of Daily Kos readers. If you'd like to join a group, click on a point and a box will pop up showing contact links. If you'd like to start a group, contact navajo for instructions. View Interactive Map of Daily Kos Regional Communities in a full screen version.

Welcome to WHAT IF Wednesday! WHAT IF... You knew a Congressman/woman and could ask them to pursue some legislation? Maybe you do... or at least, maybe you know someone who will be a Congresswoman come January 3, 2017. So tell me, what legislation would you like to see me pursue?

Of course, I'll be asking prospective constituents here in the 3rd District this question over the coming months, and I'll be discussing those ideas with fellow Democratic Party members here in Washington State during the campaign.

But pretend for the moment that I am YOUR Representative to Congress right now. What law or regulation would you like to see enacted or conversely, replaced or outright repealed?

From the ever popular Legalization of Cannabis at the Federal Level to directed Block Grants for Early Childhood Education to Farm Subsidy eligibility (such as restricting federal farm subsidies to small farms of less than 5,000 acres owned by individuals who work on the farm land).

ASK ME ANYTHING.

Because this is exactly what's going to be coming my way, sooner or later, and I'd really, really, like a chance to get some practice in!

Here are some images from the event I attended today here in Southwest Washington for Planned Parenthood (one of the many events which took place around the nation) under the hashtag #PinkOut.

Planned Parenthood is a terrific organization which in my own county has served over 6000 women this past year and nationwide offers healthcare to over 2.6 million American women! The attack on them by the Republicans in the US Congress is just one more battle in the War on Women. We all need to join hands (either in person or online, every bit of progressive action matters) and help them fight back against these lying tools of the Right.

Please contact YOUR US Rep and US Senators and tell them PROTECT Planned Parenthood, because they protect the health of millions of American Women!
