Zack Hudgins Telephone Town Hall
From Zack Hudgins:
Telephone Town Hall—March 24th at 6pm
Mark your calendar. I will be hosting a town hall by telephone on Thursday, March 24th at 6pm. Most registered voters in our district will receive a telephone call and have the option of staying on the line to listen in and to ask questions. I hope you will be able to participate. I have found I can reach many more people with this new virtual town hall than with other methods.
As always, please feel free to call me toll free at 800.562.6000 if you have any concerns.

Washington State Republicans Vote to Cut Funding for Tsunami Warning Center
From the Slog:
http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/03/15/washington-state-republicans-vote-to-cut-funding-for-tsunami-warning-center
The worst part is, people probably wouldn’t have noticed this if it hadn’t happened around the same time as the earthquake/tsunami in Japan:
WASHINGTON — A spending plan being pushed by Republicans would slash funding for the agency that warned the West Coast about the devastating tsunami in Japan.
Voting for the $126 million cut: Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-3), Representative Dave Reichert (R-8), Representative Doc Hastings (R-4), and Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-5).

Week of solidarity events planned for April 2-8
Week of solidarity events planned for April 2-8
http://www.wslc.org/reports/2011/March/11.htm#Friday
On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Republicans separated the state employee collective bargaining bill from its budget component and passed the policy bill which eliminates collective bargaining rights for most state employees; the Idaho legislature passed a bill eviscerating collective bargaining rights for public school employees; and Michigan passed a bill that allows the Governor to declare a financial emergency in any municipality, bypass the city’s elected representatives and appoint a private employer to manage the city’s services.
Now, workers everywhere are rising up to say “NO!” We will not let you take away our rights — not in Wisconsin, not in our state and not in our country! Show us the sacrifice that the bankers and the corporations and the billionaires will make!
The Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO, is working with our affiliates and our progressive community allies to put together a week of action starting on April 2 and ending on April 8 to raise our voices in solidarity with workers around the country. We will add details as they are developed.

How can women change the world? Run for public office!
Velma Veloria—former state representative from the 11th LD invites you to a workshop at US 3/12/2011
HOW CAN WOMEN CHANGE THE WORLD? RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE!
With high-profile women in the news and record-breaking numbers of women on the 2010 ballots, we might think that we have arrived. Think again! While women are about 51 percent of the U.S. population, they make up just 17 percent in the U.S. Congress. The Inter-Parliamentary Union reports that the United States is currently ranking 72th in the world for the percentage of women in Congress.
Join women from public and private sectors in strategic discussions and action for positive change.
Date: Saturday, March 12, 2011
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Place: University of Washington Women’s Center, Cunningham Hall on 15th Ave/41st Avenue, Seattle, WA
