SNIP.."Assisted by personal appeals from Gregoire, the party got $250,000 each from the Democratic National Committee, John Kerry’s presidential campaign and the progressive political action committee MoveOn.org.

It got $75,000 from the abortion rights group EMILY’s List and $50,000 from the state’s Indian tribes, Democratic Party officials said.

Brost said more than $200,000 came from contributions to the party’s Web site. And another $200,000 came from subscribers to the e-mail list maintained by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean’s group, said Pam Eakes of Seattle, who was national finance co-chair of Dean’s presidential campaign...."

Fantastic! Is the candidate native american? I was surprised to see the large contributions from Indian tribes. But then I don't really know about the politics or WA state.

1. Our candidate, Chris Gregoire, is not Native American

to my knowledge. Washington State has 3or4 Tribes in the area. The tribes are mostly behind the democrats.

2. Just went to my Democracy for America meeting this past...

Dec. 1, 2004 (last Wed.).

Loved it.

Glad we are making a difference. Pay attention, DNC. Do you want to lose this base?

That's cool to know. I have about 1/16th native ancestry.
