I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.

"Last-chance Pro-Impeachment Rally in Olympia" (with photos)
The WA State Senate staged a non-event this week as the legislative session drew to a close, but a band of pro-impeachment agitators stubbornly appeared again to demonstrate for their cause. No TV reporters or cameras bothered with this one.
These were what Washbloggers call "regular people" of all ages, with no stilt-walkers, puppets, green mohawks or Communists in evidence, although Guantanamo-orange jumpsuits, hats, shirts and vests were the attire of solidarity.
Senator Eric Oemig, sponsor of the pro-impeachment Resolution 8016, met with us afterwards. He told us that the reason the senate did ANYTHING that day was: "We better do something, there are people with orange jumpsuits out there."
