THANK YOU FOR FLYING!

So, anyone who thinks that there are not generous people in the world anymore does not live in Spokane, WA.

Over the past month, there have been numerous invites to host fundraisers and show support for those of us attending the National Convention in Denver next month. Suprisingly, most have been unsolicited and sincere interests on the part of Spokane residents and Democrats to help their fellow "cause bearers".

Well, this generosity has hit close to home for me.

With costs for convention continually rising and suprise costs coming out of nowhere, I was so very fortunate to have the good fortune to have two people offer to help me get to and from Denver.

Tim and Linda McHenry called me up after they found out I got elected and offered to sponsor my airfare to and from Denver. I did not have to ask, they just offered, out of the kindness of their hearts.

This kindness reminds me that there are people in the world who still do things just because it is nice and who do things because they care, not because there is money for them in it, not because it will get them some great political job or connections, but just because they wanted to help out.

I have been blessed to find many people like this who carry a passion for electing Democrats here in Spokane and work hard, for no money and little thanks, to try and make a difference in the political landscape in this conservative area of the state.

Thanks to all of you who work hard to promote the values of the Democratic Party and get Good Democrats elected.

32 days until we FLY!
