Democrats are busy in Olympia for the next 60 days passing laws that will hurt taxpayers and constituents. They hold the majority in both houses and the governor’s mansion. There is no balance there, and folks are stuck (for now) with what is passed as law. Here are a few on the table moving forward to become law by the Democrat majority. Let YOUR voice be heard – follow and contact the state “representatives” to let them know what you think. They are “supposed” to be working FOR us, not against us. Work HARD for Republican candidates to change (term limit by voting) those who are not truly representing you.
What Democats want for you:
Restaurants closing because of requirements for “predictable scheduling,”
pay-per-mile tax on our cars,
income tax,
gun restrictions,
sexual education (including teaching gender fluidity) in kindergarten,
making restaurants offer only water, milk, or low-cal milk alternative on a kids menu;
making sure there are no independent contractors (no more freelance journalists, no more independent hairdressers, no more independent contractors in construction, etc).
Ignoring the voter’s wishes for $30 tabs.
There are many more. Stay tuned as we get word out about upcoming bills and how to contact representatives and senators in Olympia.
SB 5395 – yes the one we thought was done is getting a second life!
Senator Wilson plans to put this bill up for a vote by the full Senate as early as Wednesday at 10:00 or Friday at 10:00. After confirming with members of the Senate Rules committee we may have a better idea which day.
Start calling your Senators NOW to vote NO on SB 5395 !
Remind them – this was stopped because of its aggressive efforts to put ALL public schools into a one-size-fits-all Comprehensive Sex Education curriculum and it goes down to kindergarten.
This bill includes “skills-based instruction” on abstinence (condom demonstration), sexual violent behavior, and how to give affirmative consent, to name a few examples.
There does not need to have a hearing for this in a Senate – this is a vote of all Senators so call and email your Senator. (All of them if you have time.)

Glen Morgan talks about Washington State’s Top 2 Primary (sometimes called a Jungle Primary) system for elections. As the first state to adopt this election system for primaries, and with only one other state using it (California). Learn more at Glen’s website, wethegoverned.com.
Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, prefiled legislation for the upcoming 2020 session that would reduce property taxes. The measure would gradually lower the state’s portion of property taxes up to 35 percent over the next few years.
The 19th District lawmaker says the amount of the reduction was designed to reflect increased revenue being realized by the state due to higher assessed property values statewide. Walsh believes the excess monies should be returned to taxpayers. (more…)
Clallam County is moving toward rejoining ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability (a subset of Agenda 21-Sustainable Development). At its worksession on Dec. 2, 2019, Commissioner Mark Ozias (D) suggested joining in order to take advantage of a computer program which would “monitor greenhouse gas inventories” in Clallam County. According to the agreement to be signed, however, the scope is far more encompassing than the use of a computer program. The agreement to join incorporates the document by ICLEI titled “Global Challenge, Local Action”. Under “How We Work – Five Pathways”, it states: “Scale up and expand the model of Sustainable Cities and Regions”, and “Undertake a Collective Effort for Global Change Across all Sectors and levels of Government”.
This despite the fact that in 2011, the County terminated its dues-paying relationship with ICLEI after citizens objected to it because it in effect relinquishes control of our government to a global government – the United Nations. ICLEI, according to its document submitted as part of the agreement for Clallam County, states, “ICLEI is the leading global network of more than 1,750 cities, towns and regions committed to building a sustainable future.” Further, it states, “ICLEI is the leading local government network dedicated to sustainability and climate action. For 30 years, we’ve represented the voice of cities and counties on the global stage.” (emphasis added) (more…)
