King County Young Democrats

Dear Democrat-

I trust that everyone is excited and energetic about our elections! Please remember to drop off your ballot/vote if you have not done so yet, every vote counts and Obama and the Governor amongst other great Democrats need your support!

Please join us tonight to celebrate victory and the making of history at the

Seattle Westin Hotel Election party (1900 Fifth Avenue )
Hosted by the Washington State Democrats
Starting around 7:00pm.

Make sure your friends and family are reminded of this important day!
