All the Democracy You Can Handle Message from the Chair
The 34th District Democrats walk tall. Whether we’re in the White Center Parade,
registering voters or speaking out on critical issues, we know how to make a
difference. We made a difference at our annual Garden Party on August 15th. Not
only did we raise significant funds for campaigns, but we also placed our biggest
event at a venue right in the heart of White Center. We spread the news using online
newspapers and blogs that reach the community that there’s a Democratic
organization in your backyard that cares about you! It’s my hope that we will see
more participation from White Center as a result.
We tried some new things at the Garden Party this year and it went smoothly
considering all the changes. We learned a lot and next year’s Garden Party will be
the better for it.
We walk tall but some of us are giants! Many thanks to so many people who helped
with the Garden Party far too many to thank here. But we have to highlight our
Treasurer Karen Chilcutt who spent hundreds of hours planning the event (not to
mention being at the event that night with, unbeknownst to her, a broken fibula).
Carol Frillman, with her past experience and drive, proved indispensable. Tamsen
Spengler, Steve Butts, Joy Pakulak, Bruce Stotler, as well as the ladies in the back of
the room, who rarely get an opportunity to enjoy the event because they’re working it
and barely have time to grab a bite from the buffet, are vital to our achievement. My
apologies if your name doesn’t appear here but believe me your help didn’t go
unnoticed. Thank you!
So how much did we raise? We’re in the ballpark of $14,000 after expenses. One of
my goals as chair was to put $5,000 aside for the 2016 Presidential-cycle, this will
help us do so. Why you might wonder? Because looking back on the 2008
caucuses, there was a huge outpouring of District funds and we need to be well-
poised for that venture. We need to put aside another $2,000 for the beginning of
next year. So we very comfortably have approximately $7,000 to contribute this
year. Not bad for an off-year election.
So let’s continue to make a difference for local progressive change. Let’s contribute
where we can make a real difference. I say we start by taking back the State Senate
and not forget to fund the house campaigns as well. We should honor our
incumbents with contributions because they’re expected to raise money for their
respective campaign committees too. Why are we Democrats? Because we believe
in funding education and our infrastructure, good jobs, protecting our environment
and women’s health choices, and justice for all. Let’s give our hard-working Olympia
delegation a hand!

Oil, Railroad, Coal Port Money Gushes Into Races For Legislature By Joel Connelly
http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2014/08/14/oil-railroad-coal-port-money-gushes-into-races-for-legislature/
Oil refiners, railroads and would-be coal port developers have quietly poured thousands of dollars into Republicans’ coffers in this
year’s mid-election battle for control of the Washington Legislature.
The biggest giver is Tesoro, which operates a refinery in Anacortes and is proposing to locate a large oil-train terminal and shipment
facility at Vancouver along the Columbia River.
The oil company has given $22,500 contributions to a pair of committees doing soft money and independent expenditures on
behalf of Republican candidates — the Leadership Council and Enterprise Washington — plus $1,900 contributions to GOP
candidates in five hotly contested Washington State Senate races.
The contributions come as debate heats on over increased use of trains to transport flammable Bakken crude oil from North Dakota
to refineries on northern Puget Sound.
The carbon industry donations this year are as follows:
–The Leadership Council, a soft money arm of State Senate Republicans, has taken
$22,500 from Tesoro, $4,500 from the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF), and
$1,000 from Pacific International Terminals.
•The Senate Republican Campaign Committee has received $950 from Tesoro and $950
from Pacific International Terminals.
•-Enterprise Washington, a business political action committee that does independent
expenditures for Republicans, has received $22,500 from Tesoro.
•Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-42, a Whatcom County Republican and outspoken critic of Gov.
Jay Inslee’s carbon-reduction plan, has received both petro and coal dollars. Inslee was
recently in Bellingham to raise money for challenger Seth Fleetwood. The Ericksen
campaign coffers have taken $1,900 from BNSF, $1,900 from Phillips66, $1,900 from
Tesoro, $950 from BP, $950 from Chevron, $950 from the Washington Oil Marketers
Association, and $1,400 from Pacific International Terminals.
•State Sen. Andy Hill, R-45, an Eastside lawmaker and chief Republican budget-writer,
has pretty much the same set of carbon economy donors. Hill faces a stiff challenge in
November from Democrat Matt Isenhower. Hill has taken in $1,450 from the Washington
Oil Marketers Association, $1,500 from Pacific International Terminals, $1,900 from
BNSF, $1,900 from BP, $1,900 from Phillips66, $1,900 from Tesoro, with $950 coming
from Chevron.
•State Sen. Steve O’Ban, R-28, has received similar help in seeking to hold his Pierce
County seat against the challenge of
Democratic Rep. Tami
Green.Donations of $1,900 to O’Ban
have come from BNSF, Tesoro, and
Phillips66, with BP and Chevron
kicking in $950, Pacific International
Terminals giving $1,000 and the
Washington Oil Marketers
Association donating $1,450.
•-Ex-Rep. Mark Miloscia, a Democrat
-turned-Republican, is getting similar
big donations as he tries to flip the
30th District in South King County
into the Republican column. He
faces Democrat Shari Song in November. The BNSF has given $1,900 to
Miloscia, as have Tesoro and Phillips66. The Washington Oil Marketers
Association has donated $950, as have Chevron and Pacific International
Terminals.
•State Sen. Michael Baumgartner, R-6th, lost big in 2012 to U.S. Sen. Maria
Cantwell, but is getting big donations to keep his Spokane-area legislative seat.
Baumgartner and Ericksen recently staged a joint fund-raiser on the Eastside.
Tesoro, Phillips66, and the BSNF have each given $1,900 to Baumgartner, with
the Washington Oil Marketers Association donating $1,450, BP $950 and
Chevron $900. Oil and coal trains pass through a narrow corridor in Spokane,
with the city’s business district on one side and hospitals just uphill.
It is absolutely essential for the
future of the state for Democrats
to regain control of the State
Senate. Please help our own
Senator Nelson back Senate
campaigns in critical districts.

Midwestern Wheat Left Rotting as Oil
Trains Roll By
http://commondreams.org/news/2014/08/26/midwestern-
wheat-left-rotting-oil-trains-roll
U.S. grain shipments are being held up as trains
carrying huge quantities of Bakken oil chug through the
region, the New York Times reported Tuesday,
illustrating how the booming business of moving oil by
rail has negative consequences beyond safety risks.
Railroads have long been the backbone of North
Dakota’s transportation system and the most
dependable way for farmers to move crops — to ports in
Portland, Ore., Seattle and Vancouver, from which the
bulk of the grain is shipped across the Pacific to Asia;
and to East Coast ports like Albany, from which it is
shipped to Europe.
But reports the railroads filed with the federal
government show that for the week that ended Aug.
22, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway — North
Dakota’s largest railroad, owned by the billionaire
Warren E. Buffett — had a backlog of 1,336 rail cars
waiting to ship grain and other products. Another
railroad, Canadian Pacific, had a backlog of nearly
1,000 cars.

Studies Confirm Huge Loss of Middle Class Wealth
http://my.firedoglake.com/masaccio/2014/08/26/studies-
confirm-huge-wealth-loss-of-middle-class/
Three recent studies using different data sets and
methodology show the horrendous losses inflicted on what
used to be the middle class by the Great Crash. In March,
Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman presented a
preliminary report on net worth showing a loss among the
bottom 90% from about 36% of total house wealth to about
25% between the peak in 1984 and 2013. The Russell Sage
Foundation estimates that the median net worth was worth
about 20% less in 2013 than in 1984. A report From the
Census Bureau says that the median household net worth
fell nearly 7% between 2000 and 2011. These findings
confirm the work of Edward Wolff in a 2012 study.
Median wealth hardly tells the whole story. It would be
helpful if these researchers would provide data by decile, but
most data is by quintile. So, take a look at the bottom two
quintiles, the bottom 40%, as reported by the Census
Bureau. The lowest quintile has a negative median net
worth: the median person’s debt is $6,029 more than the
value of that person’s assets. In 2000, the median was also
negative, at -905 dollars. The second quintile saw its median
drop in half, from $14,319 to $7,263. The median of the
third quintile also dropped, from $73,911 to $68,839, a 7%
drop. Only the fourth and fifth quintiles saw a rise in the
median.

Letters
Violent crime in Seattle’s CD and
Rainer Valley has increased 165%
more than this date calendar year
2013; with 10 incidents of youth-on-
youth murders and 18 over-all killings.
Current methods of youth outreach
will not reduce the violent crime and
murders. Unified Outreach proposes
creating a new department within the
Seattle Mayor’s office to address the
problem.
The Department of Inner-City Affairs
(DOICA) would reduce crime with
“outside the box” youth programming
and community liaisons. DOICA would
advance race and social justice,
reduce violence, and partner with
public safety officers to provide
neighborhood resources when crimes
do occur.
One thing about youth crime and
violence is that SOMEONE knows
something. The kids know who is
doing what in the community; so the
question is how does that information
come to light in order to be proactive
in preventing the next murder or
acting quickly to apprehend the culprit
when it does?
Unified Outreach has a blueprint for a
partnership that recruits and uses
community leaders in ways that have
not been tried yet. It is an achievable
plan that can save lives.

unifiedoutreachblog.wordpress.com/2014
/07/03/proposal-for-the-creation-of-a-
department-of-inner-city-affairs-within-the-
seattle-mayors-office/
Please endorse a Resolution in
support of DOICA at our September
meeting.
David Toledo,
34th LD PCO
Establishment of the Seattle City Department of Inner City Affairs
Whereas the U.S. Constitution Preamble states “we the People of the
United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the
general welfare;” and
Whereas the 10 incidents of youth-on-youth murders and 18 over-all
murders; more than 70 reports of gunfire; several stabbings; and
numerous violent assaults, all occurring within a three month period in the
Seattle portion of the 37th Legislative District do violate the domestic
tranquility and general welfare of our city; and
Whereas violent crime has increased 165% more than this date calendar
year 2013; and
Whereas the current City of Seattle Race & Social Justice Initiative, Youth
Violence Prevention Initiative, Department of Neighborhoods
programming, Office of Arts & Culture programming, and other existing
City of Seattle Departments and Programs have failed to slow the
escalating amount of youth-on-youth murders in Seattle’s CD and Rainier
Valley; and
Whereas the non-profit organization Unified Outreach has provided a
comprehensive proposal for an establishment of a Department of Inner-
City Affairs (DOICA) within the City of Seattle Mayor’s office dated June 13,
2014 to address issues specific to Seattle’s Central District and Rainier
Valley in order to assist in reducing the amount of criminal activity in
Seattle with the use of “outside the box” youth programming and
community liaisons that will be proactive in preventing violence, advancing
race & social justice issues, and providing a mutually-beneficial
partnership with Seattle’s public safety officers to provide previously
unattainable neighborhood resources when crimes do occur; and
Whereas the current King County Democratic Platform, adopted April 12,
2014, declares that “The rights guaranteed by our Constitution and
international human rights law are central to our democracy and must not
be compromised.;” and that a “good government provides for the safety
and security of all, with care, even-handedness, and respect for the
individual.;”
Therefore, be it resolved that we call upon the Mayor of the City of Seattle
and the Seattle City Council to create and financially secure establishment
of (1) Department of Inner City Affairs, and (2) use the guidelines for
Department Director and Program Directors appointment by steering
committee as set forth in the in the June 13, 2014 Unified Outreach
proposal, and (3) grant the DOICA steering committee appointment
authority to the City of Seattle Arts Commission, Community Police
Commission, and the Human Rights Commission as set forth in the June
13, 2014 Unified Outreach proposal.
Therefore, be it finally resolved that our Mayor and City Council members
be queried as to their actions and intended actions in furtherance of the
above.
Submitted by David Toledo, (206) 333-8118,
Disposition:
Editorial note: The eboard has
recommended no endorsement for
this resolution. This may be
reconsidered pending demonstration
of significant support from the
communities affected by it.

Puget Sound Chapter of Progressive
Democrats of America Forming
National
http://www.pdamerica.org/
Progressive Democrats of America was founded in
2004 to transform the Democratic Party and our
country. We seek to build a party and government
controlled by citizens, not corporate elites-with
policies that serve the broad public interest, not
just private interests. As a grassroots PAC
operating inside the Democratic Party, and outside
in movements for peace and justice, PDA played a
key role in the stunning electoral victories of
November 2006 and 2008. Our inside/outside
strategy is guided by the belief that a lasting
majority will require a revitalized Democratic Party
built on firm progressive principles.
