Two reactions on Tuesday evening...

Tuesday night's debate between Darcy Burner and Dave Reichert can be most easily summarized in what they did after the debate.

After Darcy thanked the members of the media panel that asked them both most of the questions for the evening, she traversed the length of the stage at the Meydenbauer Center, then went down the steps and into the aisles, thanking her supporters.

Once Dave had thanked the media panel, he went behind the curtain of the stage, where a small buffet was set for after the event, and huddled quietly with his staff.

And likewise, after Darcy gets elected this November, with your help, she will truly be a thoughtful, open member of the House of Representatives.

But note the words - "with your help."

We have a lot of candidates and issues to fight for this season. We have four weeks left to go. We cannot expect others to do the hard work of outreach, contact, and getting out the vote come election day.

If you haven't walked your precinct, or a precinct, for that matter, now is the time.

If you can't walk, phone.

If you can't do either of the above, give.

We can make sure you're able to help on behalf of any candidate, any issue that's near and dear to Eastside DFA's desires.

But don't let the people huddled in the corner get away with their plans.

Because our future just may depend on your actions.

Rich Erwin
Co-Organizer, Eastside DFA
