[Oct. 17 Seattle] Report, one mass-work thread

Fri Oct 16 01:32:03 EDT 2009

Last Friday I distributed 37 leaflets before a health care debate at
Shoreline CC.  Yah, I'm a little late with reporting that.

Today I passed out a minimum of 300 leaflets on the Ave.

Another 35 minimum at the UD Safeway.

Running total: 5,340
