Olympia Voter-Owned Elections
Informational/Organizing Meeting
7 pm, Tuesday June 17th
Traditions Cafe
300 5th Ave SW Olympia

Adopting a system of "Voter-Owned Elections" will:

• Eliminate financial barriers to running for local office for persons demonstrating community support.
• Expand voter's choice of candidates.
• Allow candidates to focus on public issues instead of fundraising.
• Discourage excessive campaign spending.

Hello All,

We will have a regularly scheduled meeting at Tradition's Cafe (300 5th Ave SW, Olympia) on the third Tuesday of each month at 7pm. Our first will be Tuesday June 17th. Please come to discuss the work (and fun) needed to put Voter-Owned Elections on the ballot in Olympia. Please forward this message to anyone you know who might be interested.

I am not sure if KCTS Seattle Channel 7 is also Channel 7 in Olympia, but I though some people around these parts might be interested in this conversation with the Evans's.

[edit: Merwyn has information that KCTS is Channel 9 in Olympia.]

Dan and Nancy Evans: 50 Years of Leadership is an important and enlightening conversation about leadership and public service with one of the most prominent couples in our state. Over five decades, Dan Evans has served Washington state as a legislator, Governor, college president and United States Senator. By his side has been his wife Nancy who has set her own standard of public service. Taped before an audience at the University of Washington, the couple looks back on a remarkable political career and talks about the need for public service and leadership today. KCTS 9's Enrique Cerna is the host of this one hour special.
