Oil prices today: $85.90 a barrel
Gas prices today: $3.85 a gallon

Oil prices in April 2010: $85.66 a barrel
Gas prices in April 2010: $2.85 a gallon

Gas prices are $1 a gallon higher than they should be because of Big Oil's greed.

It was nice to spend time at Arts Walk in Oly. I love it when a few streets are closed and there are people out and about.

I stopped and watched the fire juggler for a bit. He has been performing at Arts Walk for a long time. He's a good juggler and he's rather funny.

The thing that struck me though was: I want to live in a world where artists don't have to be beggars to do what they love.

He's got a good schtick. "Take out your wallet. Take out $10. And then, throw your wallet into my bucket." It's fun, it's funny, and it's still begging. It's not his fault though. It's a symptom of our late-stage capitalism eating itself and us along with it.

We need to make changes and we can't afford to wait.

Greetings,

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that supported me whether by voting, donating, or just telling others about my message.

I very much consider this campaign a success. I have built connections that will keep me more involved with the political process in Olympia. My message did resonate with more than 500 people and those people had to work to even see my message because of my lack of name recognition and my placement on the ballot and in the voter's pamphlet. I have learned so much during this process and I will perform better on my next attempt as a result of it.

I wanted to share a couple of bits because they are things that all voters should know and that anyone considering running for office should know.

1. Endorsements
I used to think ... that an endorsement is saying that the endorsing group or person looked carefully at the set of candidates and that they are giving you their best recommendation. (This is wrong.)

Now, I think ... that an endorsement is saying that this candidate is at least slightly aligned to our values and that they have sufficient money that we think they have a chance of winning.

2. Campaigns Start
I used to think ... that campaigns start with filing for office (in May).

Now, I think ... that viable campaigns start no later than February for an August/November election. By the time a candidate files for office, a candidate wants a large number of endorsements and to have already fundraised significantly.

Stay tuned for more news and keep pulling your friends into the conversation!
