Launching Thurston Public Power Initiative 2020!

[Bruce Wilkinson]

Puget Sound Energy is a foreign owned monopoly. If you didn't know that,
there is a reason. They spend millions of dollars on lies. Those millions
in lies are just a small part of the roughly 10% of your bill guaranteed to
PSE in profit, the rest gets sent out of the USA. We are stopping them!

In 2012 we attempted the Thurston Public Power Initiative
<https://www.facebook.com/thurstonpublicpower> to replace PSE with a Public
Utility District but millions were spent corrupting our election... it
didn't pass.

We need you to support this effort again!
<http://powertothepublic.org/index.php/donate/> Welcome to Power to the
Public! <http://powertothepublic.org/>

Here are some good reasons to give and volunteer!
<http://powertothepublic.org/index.php/donate/>

   - As predicted in 2012, PSE has kept racing to the bottom since being
   bought by foreigners in 2008. Right now the rates are much higher! The lack
   of maintenance is leaving us in the dark more often. They aren't investing
   in infrastructure or new generation. PSE was sold again in 2018 to more
   foreign owners. The LNG plant in Tacoma is a disaster no one wants. And
   they have shut down their pay centers! PSE has gotten worse!
   - On the flip side our fight for public power has gotten stronger!
   Jefferson PUD is a success after becoming public in 2008. Thurston PUD is
   now twice as large as it was in 2012, making it a stronger organization for
   taking over electric utilities. We can build on the 40% yes base we gained
   in 2012. We have huge amounts of facts, plus volunteers who are veterans
   now to the struggle! We know what we are up against in terms of PSE's dirty
   tricks!
   - Finally, we are not alone like in 2012. East King County
   <https://www.ekc-pud.org/> is joining the struggle in creating their own
   electric PUD this year! A second campaign that is larger can bolster and
   invigorate our own!

I'm also excited that we have a heavy hitter coming for our launch. Dennis
Kucinich <https://www.facebook.com/events/593455908160934/> will be
speaking on behalf of our Thurston Public Power Initiative 2020 on February
4th, 7PM, at the Olympia Community Center! Please come!

Now the ask: will you donate right now to the effort? This is grassroots
and we need to raise about $1,000 by the end of this month
<http://powertothepublic.org/index.php/donate/> just to cover the start of
the campaign. More importantly, we also need your time. 15,000 signatures
need to be gathered in 6 months and then the real fight begins on the
campaign!

PSE has all the money but we have all the heart! Get involved today!
