I know I have at least one reader in the Great State of WA, so I'll post this!

Gay-marriage backers still short by a couple votes in state Senate.

If any of these undecideds belong to you, now would be the time to contact them, I think!

State Sens. Andy Hill, R-Redmond; Joe Fain, R-Auburn; Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano Island; Jim Kastama, D-Puyallup; Paull Shin, D-Edmonds, and Brian Hatfield, D-Raymond, are uncommitted, according to the lawmakers or members of their staffs.

I'm surprised my jerk-ass state senator (Andy Hill) is undecided, though I suspect he'll vote against no matter what I do. I'll be contacting them on Tuesday, I guess.

I still mourn my all-D representation, alas. 2010 got me Andy Hill, and with redistricting gerrymandering, my congressional district is going to be represented by a Thug next time. No way can the high tech Eastside balance out 4 counties worth of pure red.

Anyhow.

I contacted my peeps the minute the news about this bill came up. Pflug is one of mine and I got back a "yes" immediately though she is a Rep. The other 2? No response, though I asked for one. That was something like 2 weeks ago.

Yeah, I'd already contacted my D reps. Didn't bother with Asshole Hill, but I guess I have to. I'm quite surprised he's "undecided", I expect he's waiting for Microsoft to make a move and will act accordingly, and/or just wants to see what he can get.
