All the Democracy You Can Handle
Message from the Chair
We have important work to do in 2014. On March
9th, Legislative District Caucuses will be held
around the state. Do you want to be a delegate to
the Washington State Democratic Party Convention
on June 21st in Spokane? The journey begins in the
34th. Attend this significant convention to assess
the new state chair, the future of the state party and
to regain the state senate majority.
Help out on a short-term project with the 34th: Be
an organizer for our 2014 LD caucus. Our needs
include: tally, sign-in, outreach, credentials,
publicity, and hospitality committees. Please
contact me to participate. We need many
organizers in order to make the day go smoothly
and efficiently.
Congratulations: Representative Joe Fitzgibbon on
his chairmanship of the House Environment
Let’s get out the vote in 2014 and get the
ground game going for 2016.
Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Marcee Stone-Vekich, Chair
Committee. Senator Sharon Nelson is the new leader of the Senate Democratic Caucus
and Representative Eileen Cody carries on as Chair of the Healthcare and Wellness
Committee. Their legacy will be felt in the state for generations.
Seattle City Council elections 2015: District elections have arrived. Every seat is up for
election and candidates are coming out of the woodwork. Seattle District One election
promises to be lively.
Thank you again for a successful 2013!

Legislative Action Day in Olympia
January 20, MLK, Jr Day In past years the Legislative Action Committee has met in
February, on Presidents Day. This year it will be held on Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day, Monday, January 20. The Legislative
Committee felt is was important to lobby our legislators earlier
in the session, especially for a short session like this one. By
Presidents Day, votes may already have been taken and our
influence is diminished.
In past years we have met as a group in the morning to
discuss the LAC’s goals, and then during lunch we heard from
any Democratic legislator who were able to get away from
meetings. They each have for five minutes or so to speak on
what bills they are working on, and also about what we can do
to help. This is a great way to get the inside scoop on what’s
happening in Olympia in this, yet another, peculiar year. In the
afternoon we will meet with our legislators, and perhaps
legislators from other districts. Last year we met with Steve
Berquist who filled us in about what was happening with his
bill on early voter registration for high school students.
For more information about where and when, and for sign up
and car pool information, contact 34th District Democrats
Legislative Action Chair Tamsen Spengler at 932-2772 or
There is a charge for materials and a box lunch.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
About Progressive Radio Northwest
www.progressiveradionorthwest.org
On January 2, 2013, Seattle became the latest in a string of
progressive cities to inexplicably lose its only progressive talk
station when KPTK AM1090 was switched to an all sports for-
mat. Well, we cry foul! The free public airwaves belong to eve-
ryone and progressive voices need to be a vital part of the local
and national conversation.
Progressive Radio Northwest (PRNW) is a group of volunteers
bringing strong-signal progressive talk programming back to
Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Our mission is to:
-- Catalyze an invigorated progressive radio platform for the
greater Seattle area; and
-- Promote progressive programming on the free public air-
waves and digital technologies.

Member Profile
The editor is starting this occasional feature because so many of
our members are involved in much more than being active
Democrats. The array of community activities and issues groups
that we are involved in is truly amazing. The emphasis will be on
current activities rather than life history, with website links for
organizations we are involved in. Send in your profile and you
may get more volunteers for some of the organizations you are
involved with.
January 2014—Lisa Plymate, M.D.
As a physician, Lisa is a strong advocate for patients. She
joined PNHP http://www.pnhp.org/ approximately 15
years ago and still supports them.
After Obama’s election, she concluded that he was going
to modify our health care delivery system in a different
way, and joined Doctors for America (DFA) http://
www.drsforamerica.org/ to try to influence that change, in
particular fighting for a public option. She has been WA
State Director of DFA for past 4 years—and got to
represent our state in the Rose Garden in 2009 and meet
with Harry Reid and HHS Secretary Sibelius, among
others. She is the DFA WA chapter representative for the
Healthy Washington Coalition. http://
www.healthywa.org/2013/08/12/welcome-to-the-healthy
-washington-coalition-website/
She became a member of the National Physicians
Alliance, a 15,000 member national, multi-specialty policy
and advocacy group working for equitable, affordable
health care for all, three years ago. http://npalliance.org/
She is in her third year as a member of the NPA national
policy committee and serves as a “Copello fellow” this
year, which is a 16-member group of leaders across the
country. NPA has a strong Unbranded Doctors http://
npalliance.org/action/the-unbranded-doctor/ campaign.
Members agree not to see pharmaceutical representatives
in their offices or take any gifts from them. Lisa co-chairs
the Food and Drug Administration task force for this issue,
supporting the FDA in putting patient safety and drug/
device efficacy first. NPA also has a strong campaign
against gun violence, treating it as a public health issue.
Lisa works with UW medical students and residents to
help them get engaged, as it is crucial for upcoming
doctors to be involved in changing health care system
from the start.
She currently works half-time for Providence ElderPlace
near Columbia City. Primarily with dual eligible, people on
both Medicare and Medicaid. Participants in this program
are complex medically, poor, frail. The population is highly
diverse--25% do not speak English and 50% have
significant mental illness. Her immediate prior position
was with migrant workers in eastern Washington. She
knows from her daily practice why we must treat health
care as a basic human right.

My New Year's Resolution By Representative Joe Fitzgibbon
I’m a football fan—specifically, I’m a Seattle Seahawks 12th Man. We adhere to the tenets of Win Forever:
Three rules: 1. Always protect the team; 2. No whining, no complaining, no excuses; 3. Be early.
Style: Great effort, great enthusiasm, great toughness, play smart.
Beliefs: It’s all about the ball. Everything counts. Respect everyone.
Philosophy: Do things better than they have ever been done before.
Much has been said (much of it mocking) about this sports dogma espoused by Pete Carroll. But really, it’s just one
leader’s approach to summoning the best out of individuals and orienting that potential to a common cause. As fans
we turn to sports for inspiration and entertainment, and it’s great to be in Seattle rooting for a team that strives for
these ideals. So, cheesy or not, I’m in: Go Hawks, Win Forever.
And yet on Sunday, while trudging out of CenturyLink Field following a frustrating 10-17 loss to the Cardinals, I did
not display Win Forever behavior. I said something hurtful about a lot of people that I don't know. I called a whole
state racist. It was wrong, I regret it, and I'm very sorry.
Now, you may fairly ask yourself why someone would feel it necessary to make that connection, let alone share
them with people. Fair enough. As I was watching our quarterback get sacked—four times—I got aggravated. For
some reason I got to thinking about how the NFL once moved the Superbowl out of Arizona when it refused to
recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which led to idle thoughts about SB 1070 and the failure this year of
commonsense immigration reform at the national level. (Yeah, I’m really fun at parties.)
As for why I shared it—this was one of those moments where I suffered from the incorrect belief that I had a thought
worth sharing. As best I can tell we all seem prone to them, though my generation is the one that’s probably most
disposed to sharing them online. My generation, like every young generation before it, is also a generation
demanding gains in equality and justice, and we’re doing it online, so I’ll take the tradeoff of too many dinner plate
pics and the occasional errant tweet by a loud-mouthed politician.
Did I forget to mention I’m an elected official and that’s why we’re still talking about this? Yep. We’re talking about it
because I’ve asked people to care what I say, and then I said something stupid and careless. For that I sincerely
apologize.
To Arizona: I love deserts. I truly do not believe yours is a state populated by racists. I don’t know why I insulted your
state. I'm deeply impressed by those of you who love and are proud of your state and are working it to make it a
better place. But I do not love SB 1070, and I believe in the power of state government to make things better for the
people of a state. I’d love to visit and talk about any of this, particularly with any of you working on environmental
issues or civil rights.
To my constituents: It is a pleasure and an honor serving you. I will go on record as both a Seahawks fan and a
supporter of immigration reform. With your forgiveness, I’ll put my head down and get back to work trying to save
our buses and fully fund education.
To my colleagues: I hope I didn’t let you down by causing another trivial distraction from the hard work we have
ahead of us.
To the Cardinals: Nice work. You played well yesterday, even in the rain. Fitz, you have half a cool last name but you
played it full.
To the Seahawks: You aren’t reading this, are you? I hope not. I’ll keep quiet and let you go back to work.
To anyone else who was inadvertently hurt: I'm sorry. It's a painful but good reminder for me to think about the effect
that my words, intentional or careless, can have.
The Washington State Legislature, in which I proudly serve, starts business on Monday, January 13, 2014. Here’s my
goal for this session and beyond: I’m going to try to bring the Win Forever attitude to my work. I won’t be glib or paint
with a unfairly broad brush when I am trying to talk about serious policy like immigration, or when I talk about other
people. My goal is that all of my communication will be productive and empathetic, and that it will advance the ball,
so to speak.

Volunteers needed for the
South King County Democrats Spaghetti Dinner
I attended the first planning meeting for the South King Coun-
ty Democrats Spaghetti Dinner. This will be our second year
to participate since this event was reinstated four years ago.
Last year this event was a successful fundraiser for the 34th
and I look forward to having the 34th participate again. Here
is what we covered at the meeting.
Date of SKC Democrats Dinner: May 17th, 2014
Location: Machinist’s Hall
Price: $25.00 advance, $30.00 at door
Tickets will be sold online and at LD monthly meetings
(including the 34th’s), LD Caucuses, County Convention and at
the January WSDCC meeting in Vancouver.
The theme, to be determined, will depend on the keynote
speaker we land.
Our wish list for keynote speakers:
1. Gary Locke
2. Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell (tie)
3. Ron Reagan
There are other choices, but these are our first choices. Tim
Burns from the 30th is heading this up.
The30th will head up food, 47th tickets, 34th
(me) PR media contact. We need someone to
head up silent auctions. If anyone would like
to do this, or know someone who would please
let me know.
The majority opinion is to not have a live auc-
tion this year, just silent. Also, the inclination
is to have each LD pick there top silent auction
items and submit them. How many each LD
will be able to have will depend on how many
LDs participate. As of now it’s looking like it
will be the 30th, 33rd, 34th, 47th and 11th,
although no one showed up from the 11th.
Another note of interest, Mark McDermott
(Jim’s brother) does an excellent presentation
on income inequality. He will be at the 30th’s
monthly meeting on February 5th. All are wel-
come.
If you have any questions about the dinner, or
would like to volunteer, please let me know.
