Didn't They Get the Press Release?

Olympia light show activists struck again, broadcasting messages such as "Public Power Yes," "End Corporate Power," and "Sold To PSE," this time highlighting The Olympian building on Bethel Street, earlier this evening. No one was apparently available to comment within The Olympian offices.

Drivers seeing the messages honked their acknowledgement, passersby asked questions, and two police officers stopped by to check on the situation. The officers left within a minute of their arrival, smiling and waving to nearby photographers. 

The Olympian is owned by the McClatchy Company and has taken a position against Thurston County's Proposition 1, the same position held by Puget Sound Energy, the for-profit multi-national corporation that currently serves Thurston County.

The Thurston Public Power Initiative, a grassroots group of citizen activists, encourages citizens to vote yes on Thurston County Proposition 1 this November 6th. The initiative authorizes the Thurston County Public Utility District (PUD) to own and operate electric distribution and generation facilities.

Despite the Rain, The Message is Clear

Despite the rain, messages were clearly visible earlier tonight as activists peacefully used the biggest billboard surface in town: the Mistake by the Lake, aka the Capitol Center Building, in downtown Olympia. The messages could be seen by Westside residents and passing motorists, many who honked in acknowledgement. Who knows when or where the messages will next be seen!

 

For those who missed the Public Power forum sponsored by Thurston Community Television (TCTV) and the League of Women Voters on September 27 at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts, you can watch it anytime on www.tctv.net or on TCTV Channel 77 on Comcast or Channel 23 on Fairpoint in the Yelm area, on the following remaining days: Wednesday, October 17, 4:00 p.m., Sunday, October 21, 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 24, 4:00 p.m., Sunday, October 28, 7:30 p.m., or Wednesday, October 31, 4:00 p.m.
