FARMERS MARKET - SATURDAY MAY 12, 2012

The dawn broke early with a glorious morning to set out for the Federal Way Farmers Market.  The sun was up and out early and the effect on Mount Rainier was stunning.  We are blessed to live in Federal Way.  The Farmers Market Kickoff Grand Opening was jammed with vendors and shoppers. 

People were interested to learn about the campaign for State Representative.  The crew who helped out estimated that we handed out 500 campaign information cards with lots of people saying they didn't want them as they were voting for Roger. 

We had a surprise visit from one of our longtime friends Kim who drove up in her awesome Model T.  It was quite spectacular.  The people at the market were ticked to see such a vintage automobile.  It sounded like what I think we all think of a Model T, what fun stuff.

As one of the members who serve on the Farmers Market board, I was stunned by the huge turnout of local residents and also by the large number of vendors.

I had to leave early, 9:00 a.m., for an endorsement meeting by the Pierce County Democrats.  I was impressed with their meeting and the questions were tough.  I am hopeful that we will have their endorsement in a day or two.

We plan on taking the day off from any campaigning in honor of Mother's Day.  It just seems to be a bit too intrustive to be knocking on doors on such a family oriented day.

From the streets of South King
County and Pierce County as
well,

EXTRA, EXTRA ~ READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

Washington State Labor Council
COPE Endorsement ~ May 5, 2012

Heading for the May 5, 2012 Council On Political Endorsements (COPE) by the Washington State Labor Council was an arduous journey.  All candidates hoping and wishing for the very important COPE endorsement must meet with numerous endorsement committees from organizations across the State to be nominated and hopefully be placed on the slate of selected endorsements. 

Our campaign has been nominated proliferously and more importantly placed on the slate of selected endorsements; here are a couple of the more significant endorsements:  The 30th Legislative District Democratic Party, the King County Democratic Party, Martin Lurther King County Central Labor Council, the Pierce County Central Labor Council, IAM 751 ~ Boeing Aerospace Machinists Union, the Washington State Patrol Troopers Association, and the South King County Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 2024.

All of our endorsements have been singular, meaning no dual endorsements.  That is significant because it is a reflection that our campaign is the one that truly reflects those particular organizations' platform of political issues.

I am proud to be endorsed by so many wonderful people and organizations and we are looking forward to gathering more endorsements as the campaign moves ahead.

Best wishes always,
Roger G. Flygare
