Tonight's our unofficial Kerry fundraising party
I've probably mentioned this before. This thing is going to be rather large for us, but we have a good cross-section of folks and they will likely be coming in waves (older folks first, younger folks later).

We've got a big ton of very yummy catered Lebanese food, a case of wine, four sixers of beer, soda pop, burpwater, DVD upstairs showing "Bob Roberts", "Bush in 30 Seconds", "Uncovered: the Truth about the Iraq War", Devo videos, and whatever else our de facto VeeJay from Seattle wants to play (Probably "Office Space" yet again), and a slug of guests coming from all over the PNW and from all walks of life. Two computers in the guest room will be taking electronic donations to http://contribute.johnkerry.com, and for those who don't want to give to that, we have alternate url's for moveon.org, aclu, etc.

Our stated goal was $1000 for the campaign, but we just might pop that. We're starting it off with $100.

I guess I feel better about being part of the movement that puts the "party" back in the Democratic Party.

Gotta go finish getting the house ready now.

2. Portland, OR
I would issue a general invitation, but I prefer to keep it to our circle of friends and acquaintances.

8. I think it's great that
you open your own home up for the cause. Actions like this will lead us to victory in November! By the way, I envy you living in Portland. I'm from there originally, but haven't been back in years. Is it really liberal these days?
