It's All Happening
Saturday morning, I will be dragging the boys out for one last canvassing effort on behalf of Jim Davis. Honk if you see us - just don't throw anything. The last time I canvassed door-to-door in a Tampa neighborhood was for Dukakis in '88. Scariest. Job. Ever. This time I'll have two cute kids with me so hopefully people will not curse as we interrupt World Cup Soccer to rally progressive support. Afterwards the Davis people invited us to a barbecue. What are the odds they have veggie burgers? We'll see.
Other events of interest:
--For those in the Sarasota area: Keith Fitzgerald's campaign for State House is having a Headquarters Grand Opening celebration, this Saturday, June 17, from 5 to 7 PM. Stop by to see the office, visit with Keith and the campaign team and enjoy light refreshments (read: no beer). The office is located at 5119 N. Tamiami Tr., Suite 4, just south of University Parkway.
--According to the Pasco County Democrats - all two of them: Your time, whether it be signing a single petition, or spending an hour or a day helping collect signatures, is THE most valuable contribution you can make to our Democrats at this point during the 2006 election season. Check out these candidates and do your part -
Stephen Gorham; Florida State Senate; District 10
Chris Hrabovsky; Florida House; District 45
Carl Zimmermann; Florida House; District 48
Donovan Brown; Florida House; District 61
Nikki Deg; County Commission; District 4
If there is anything else going on this weekend, political, social, or otherwise, feel free to leave a comment or send an anonymous e-mail. As my time here draws to a close, I'm lovin' those invites...

If you're in the Forest Hills/Carrollwood area canvassing, come by, I've got some tofurkey dogs in the freezer I need to use up.
As one of the two dems in Pasco I can tell you this:
Donovan Brown has made the ballot as of today.
I heard Deg is not even close, so don't bother (she started really LATE). She will probably pay the filing fee.
If you do want to help call the other candidates -- Especially Gorham and Hrabrovsky, who are both VERY close to the qualification number and need a few "just in case" buffer signatures. One is on the east side, and one on the west. Enough work to go around to make everyone happy!
