Here's a letter I e-mailed earlier to those voting in this weekend's Third Congressional District Delegate Convention:

Fellow Democrats:

Thank you for signing up to participate in this weekend's Third Congressional District Delegate Convention. It's great to see so many people involved - especially those who have not been involved in the party until recently. Your activism is helping to better the Democratic Party of Oregon (DPO) as well as your respective county parties and house districts.

I know many of you through work in the Democratic Party, Bus Project, Oregon for Dean in 2003/04, etc., but there are a number of names I don't recognize. I'm always excited when I find names that I don't recognize - it means the party is growing.

The nation's largest food and healthy lifestyle magazine is touching down in Wilsonville for its seventh annual Cooking Light FitHouse, a concept home featuring the most innovative advancements in function and design. Cooking Light is welcoming visitors to share food and fun as they open the doors of the FitHouse.

WHO: Join Cooking Light editors, Wilsonville Mayor Charlotte Lehan and Executive Chef Billy Strynkowski

WHAT: Celebrate the grand opening of the 2008 FitHouse with the Cooking Light team, and enjoy:
. Cooking demonstrations by Chef Billy;
. Balloon art and face painting;
. Adorable, adoptable pets from the Oregon Humane Society;
. Delicious food;
. Loads of product giveaways, including KitchenAid mixers!;*
. Massages;
. Fresh produce giveaways;
. Tours of the 2008 FitHouse, a model of healthy, low-maintenance and energy-efficient living, which boasts "Universal Design" features.

So I finally made it out of the house and to one of the parties - Nick Fish for City Council. As some may know, I was supporter of his a few years back when he ran and this time have run the web activities for the campaign.

A small crowd has already arrived and is eagerly awaiting results of the night. Those of us with laptops have hidden ourselves in the restaurant at Kennedy School so that the entire party isn't the crowd surrounding the laptops instead of enjoying the party.

I'm pretty optimistic about Nick's chances tonight. The campaign worked hard to be out in the community talking to people, and I think that he's the best person to fill Erik Sten's former seat.

Hello East County Obama Supporters!!

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I bring you this news. Obama for America will be opening its newest field office in Gresham!!

Our hope is that, with your help, we will not only be a strong and positive presence in the East Multnomah County area, but we will create a network of support that will help bring the change we need in Washington…that being said, we have a lot of work to do, so let us get started on the right foot.

Here are the details of the Grand Opening!

10:00am: Coffee and treats and a brief organizational meeting and training

11am-4pm: Neighborhood Canvassing to register new voters and let them know the Obama campaign is here

5pm-8pm: Potluck dinner

 Greetings: 

Last week, most of my time was taken up in preparation for and in attending the Joint Ways and Means Committee, which met Thursday and Friday in the Capitol.
