It is 6:30 am, and it is pouring outside. Time to get to work.
Today, across my fair city,
between 200 and 300 reform minded activists are running for local Democratic committee for the first time, including myself.
Today,
Anne Dicker, co-founder of Philly for Change, is running in the open Democratic primary for state representative in the 175th district.
Vote for Anne.
Today,
Valerie McDonald Roberts is running for Lt. Governor against conservative, party insider, incumbent Catherine Baker Knoll.
Vote for Valerie McDonald Roberts.
Today,
I am running for statewide Democratic committee, along with my friend Kevin Scott and a handful of other progressive activists across the city.
Here is how you can vote for us:
- 1) Find the box marked "Member of Democratic State Committee" (third from the bottom of the ballot).
- 2) Press the "write-in" button for that section of the ballot. The square red button at the top of the machine will start blinking.
- 3) Press the blinking red button. The black shutter next to it will automatically open, showing the paper.
- 4) Write or stamp Christopher J. Bowers in that box.
- 5) Pull down the black shutter, closing it.
- 6) Repeat steps 1-5 with the name Kevin W. Scott.
- NOTE: If you have any difficulties, poll workers will gladly assist you, even if you have already begun the voting process.
To find out if you or anyone you know lives in our district, you can
see a map of the district here (PDF). If you are still unsure after looking at the map, use
this nifty tool built by the Committee of Seventy.
There are many other important races today as well, but I don't want to overload people with too much information in this post. Use the comments to talk about other races.
Today, the silent revolution will sound its barbaric yawp over the rooftops of Democratic Philadelphia.
