Last night, I co-hosted the second weekly Out for Obama happy hour in Seattle. We are setting up shop in various LGBT bars in Seattle, and last night was a huge success at PURR. City Councilperson Sally Clark was special guest and she gave a rousing speech that electrified the whole bar. We picked up 5 new voters for registration and scads of new volunteers. The LGBT community is a large voting block in Seattle, and we are winning back Hillary supporters, one vote at a time. The infamous "Log Cabin" Republicans are trying to make a comeback in Seattle, and last night really punctured some Republican balloons!

Next week, the happy hours move to Neighbours Bar and Grill. Onwards and upwards! A special shoutout to Cary Toland who is the co-host with the most- -his graphics for the LGBT Obama outreach efforts are awesome. And if Sally Clark ever runs for higher office--I'll be right there to support her the way she has supported my community.

You're doing a great job, Jake! I'm stuck out here driving/walking between tumbleweeds and houses with "protected by Smith & Wesson" people. When I go out canvassing, hubby tells me "make sure your phone is charged to call 911." :)

Yikes Blueberry! Watch out for them prairie dawgs too--they have a mighty nasty bite and they don't taste no good neither! Go NV,
I wish I could do something to help NV go blue! You're doing the real work, my friend, I'm just having fun!
