It was to have been a joint DFA/PDA meetup, unfortunately was the only PDA person there, as there were other meetings going on that some of the South King County Kucinich campaigners were attending. I was late to boot, as I had a little trouble figuring out where to go to the substitute venue, as the original restaurant had shut down. Hope that will change, as progressives of any stripe are scattered more thinly on the ground in suburban and unincorporated areas, and we all need to work together.
We discussed working in local Dem LD district organizations, and Lakoff on reframing issues. Collected some interesting input on how to reframe the abortion issue.
