Did anyone get in to see David Korten intro Rep Kucinich on Bainbridge Isl this last weekend?

I was about 10 back in line that didnt get in. They turned away about 40 - 50. The event was held at the Lynwood Theater for no charge. Below is a link of Rep Kucinich forwarded by Sally Adams.

1. I was at the state party meeting in Wenatchee. However, consider the folloing thread from GD

http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2011/05/rep_dennis_kucinich_wont_deny.html

Ohio will lose two congressional seats in next year's redistricting, while Washington state will gain one.

A trip to Washington state by Rep. Dennis Kucinich last weekend set West Coast media abuzz with rumors that that the Cleveland Democratic congressman plans to seek their state's new congressional seat.

Kucinich's office won't deny those rumors. After the former Cleveland mayor and longshot presidential candidate put out the word nationwide that his current district may be zeroed out when Ohio's congressional seats are remapped, his spokesman says he "received requests from people in 20 states, including Washington state, encouraging him to move and run in their area."

"Congressman Kucinich appreciates the interest expressed in his public service," Kucinich spokesman Nathan White said in an email. "As he has repeatedly said, he fully intends to remain in Congress; he just doesn't know in what district he will run. In the meantime, he is devoted to serving Ohio's 10th district as it currently stands."

4. Cool to hear it. Point of information

How far in advance of the 2012 election would a person have to establish Washington state residency in order to be eligible to stand for a Congressional seat?

3. He'll be speaking at seattle's Green Festival 5/22

Just a heads-up that Dennis Kucinich will be speaking in Seattle the weekend of May 21-22.

He'll be speaking at the Seattle Green Festival at the Qwest Event Center on Sunday May 22 at 2:00.

5. We got in....

How come we can't have national candidates like him?

Rumors are flying that our rep, Jay Inslee, will go for governor, and that Dennis will move here and take Inslee's seat.

Seemed like a campaign speech/Q&A to me.

9. Oh. man, my life would be perfect if that happened! I feel great now!

Thanks for sharing that idea.
