*In their infinite wisdom, the United States’ Founders created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented.
Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?*
*The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.*
*Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood.*
*There are 3,141 counties in the United States.*
*Trump won 3,084 of them.*
*Clinton won 57.*
*There are 62 counties in New York State.*
*Trump won 46 of them.*
*Clinton won 16.*
*Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.*
*In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)*
*Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.*
*These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.*
*The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.*
*When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.*
*Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country!*
*And…it’s been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation’s problems foment.*
Initiative I-1698 – the “Heartbeat” Initiative is back after having been slowed down in the courts for some minor changes. After a hearing before the judge in Thurston County Court, the initiative has been approved to move forward in a slightly different form (although the body of it remains basically the same). The clock has started ticking, and even though the governor has a “stay at home” order, we can still gather signatures, and hit the ground running when the order is lifted (hopefully soon!).
Permission has been given to print out the initiative on 8-1/2 x 11″ paper (be sure to print it double-sided) instead of the usually-required 11 x 17. Please download and print out a copy for everyone in your household to sign and mail in as soon as possible. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD.
I-1698 states: Every living human being has a right to life, including unborn human beings. We know that life ends when the heart permanently ceases to function conversely life has begun when the heart begins to function. Therefore unborn human beings have an right to life when their HEART BEATS!
If you know of a business that is considered “essential” who would like to place initiatives for signature, let us know and we can get some to them.
There’s not much time to gather signatures, so please help however you can!
While the MAT clinic and corona virus monopolized the attention of many local residents, below, you will find an example of last week’s Democrat destruction to Washington State, traditional American values, and our Judeo-Christian culture. This is a partial list of over 200 proposed, quite reasonable, but rejected Republican amendments to the Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) Bill. The Washington Votes websitehttps://www.washingtonvotes.org/ reports Republicans submitted over 200 amendments to this CSE bill that passed on a 56-40 party line vote. (more…)
Last Wednesday was a very important cutoff date that killed a lot of bills. Many were very good bills, but some that were terrible were killed as well. There are also some of both still alive. I mainly focus on the bad bills in my newsletters, because my emails are already quite long – you’d be reading into tomorrow, if I covered everything! Also note the next cutoff dates. Friday, the 28th is the cutoff for anything in a policy committee and the fiscal committee cutoff is Monday the 2nd. Both the Senate and the House go back to the floor full time on Tuesday, the 3rd.

I was involved in filming these homeless/drug addict encampments in Olympia in January, 2020. Shortly after we recorded this, the City of Olympia “swept” these camps (it took them two years of people begging them to clean up this mess). Of course, many of these folk just started putting up their tents, tarps, garbage piles, and used needles elsewhere in the city – usually in greenspaces and along streams and parks.
