Headline News: Bingen Goes Blue!


OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

This is truly headline news in these parts.

The Democrats have a Headquarters for Election 2008! Here's Lea, our candidate for County Commissioner District 1 doing her best Vanna imitation to show us all the new vowels and consonants painted on the windows. How BOLD!

The owners of Antiquities and Oddities have graciously donated space in their Bingen Station Coffee Haus for our motley crew, a computer, a printer, brochures, and lots of signs.

And we do share space with the cigar store Indian.

We've started Wednesday Brown Bag lunches, inspired by Fort Bend Dems' Friday Lunch Bunch. Of course, being an antique store, we have lots of choices for chairs and tables.

This week we had more than a dozen people show up from as far away as Klickitat. I went through Klickitat on our way to the river last week, it's a lot of $4.00 a gallon gas away! Grandma Betty came. She's 87, and has lived in Klickitat for 83 years. Needless to say, she knows everyone in town. And she wants SIGNS. A lifelong Democrat, she's absolutely energized for this year's elections.

So stop in for a cup of joe, and pick up some signs. Come at noon on any Wednesday and meet some local Dems. They're coming out of the woodwork, I tell ya! Just look for Betty Boop on the main drag through Bingen. Open Daily for your fix of Democracy!
