Everyone Wants to be Newport's Senator in Wash.
This is in District 12. "Bliss" is a great little market with excellent food. It's the newly redone former Frasch's Bakery on Broadway which was famous for their mocha cakes. The Progressive League sponsored an interesting & informative film series this winter in Newport complete with experts & discussion. They've also sponsored a few peace marches in Washington Square. Gracious Audette (who lives in the Twelfth) is a co-founder & helped get the film series going.
The Whitehouse campaign has also been in Newport lately canvassing & is planning on setting up an office here. Sen. Chaffe is setting up office here(besides the Post Office office) also. Big bucks will be spent in this campaign. Probably #1 in the nation. 5 mill is the figure I hear for Dems. & definitely upward of that for the Reps. Hey, everyone wants to be in Newport in the summertime!

Thanks for the coverage. We have a whole series of events with Ann Wright up next on 6/29, 7pm co-hosted by RICCP.
This campaign intends to restore the "US" in tr_ _ t.
Idealistic perhaps, but it's earned, not bought....
Hope to see you there. Carl
Nitpick: I'm pretty sure Gracious Audette lives in the 13th Senate district, not the 12th.
No, she's in the 12th (according to voter records), unless she moved quite recently. The 12th is a VERY oddly shaped district.
She's OURS, all OURS!
