Vote as if our country depends on it!

Vote as if our country depends on it!

by Sue Forde

As you probably know by now, this election may be one of the most important ones in history.  Just take a look at the Kavanaugh attack by the left, the mobs that are in various cities attacking those who don’t agree with their line of thinking, and understand that if the Democrats take control of the House and/or Senate, we are in deep trouble, as it would be a signal that those type of tactics work. 

A Democrat majority in Congress would mean that the great accomplishments of President Trump would be halted, and even reversed.  Democrats have also talked about impeaching our duly-elected President, as well as Justice Kavanaugh. 

We can participate in a “Red Wave” to be sure that doesn’t happen, and to send the message that it is “we the people” who govern, not a Deep State who would ignore the rule of law.

Here’s just a sample of what the left is doing (thank you, Sue Landis Runyan, for the heads up on this):

” It is timely and meaningful to revisit the efforts by an organization – Organizing for Action (OFA) – which is a part of the Barack Obama official web site.  The included Twitter page for OFA is very revealing. One of the inclusions is from a group in Hawaii that organized to make calls into Arizona.  Other tweets are from Barack Obama.

” It doesn’t take reading many tweets to realize just the challenge set for those of us who do not want our country changed into the country that Barack Obama wants.

 “Perhaps others who read some of these tweets will understand just how important it is to vote in our up coming election.   https://mobile.twitter.com/OFA

Likewise, we’ve seen what the left has done to our State.  Let’s continue to work toward taking it back, so the State Constitution can have some meaning!  Vote for Jodi & Jim to replace those two who are so heavily funded by the Seattle leftists.

So please be sure to get your ballot in, and strongly encourage others who want to keep our Constitutional Republic strong to do likewise.

Opening Statement by Susan Hutchison

Opening Statement by Susan Hutchison

Susan Hutchison, candidate for U.S. Senator, debated incumbent Maria Cantwell in the U.S. Senate race on October 8th.  Susan did a stellar job of pointing out the differences between the Republicans and the Democrats, sharing how Republicans have action-packed plans for the future of Americans across the nation, while the Democrats seem to “resist” anything and everything that our President Donald Trump puts forth.  Here is Susan’s opening statement at the debate:

Vote “NO” on Initiative 1639

Vote “NO” on Initiative 1639

Please Vote “No” on Initiative 1639 (I-1639) in November

By Jim McEntire

September 10, 2018

I’ve read the initiative myself and here’s a short take on what is wrong with this initiative.  For an in-depth review, please see Larry Williams’ posts on Facebook.  Larry’s a former Port Angeles City Councilor who now lives in Omak.

First, a couple of facts about I-1639.  It was sponsored by three Washington billionaires, plus a billionaire who is from New York city.  It says its purpose is to reduce gun violence by adding further restrictions on who is allowed to buy “semi-automatic assault rifles” which is the term used by those who seek more stringent gun control to get people to be scared of semi-automatic rifles of any type.  This initiative is a good example of special interest legislation that comes from those who desire to have control over the common person, and to make exercise of our rights under the federal and State constitutions more difficult for the common person.  (more…)

Non-GMO Housing for a Healthy Housing Market

Non-GMO Housing for a Healthy Housing Market

by Jodi Wilke

We can all agree that a housing crisis exists, both relating to availability and cost of housing. Supply and demand are the primary cost drivers of Real Estate yet government regulations, zoning, buildable land, and taxes, all create the conditions that hurt the housing market. One builder in Sequim stated that $27-30,000 in permits, impact fees and connection fees are required, and for a $60,000 lot it costs $100,000 to break ground – IF he didn’t also end up in court over a wetland dispute.. This places a modest starter home in the neighborhood of $250,000 best case scenario. Unaffordable for most middle-income people.

The unfortunate cries of the public moan about having “Affordable Housing” and often they look to the same government entities that caused this problem to somehow solve the problem. But a closer look at the way government approaches the issue of unaffordable housing reveals some disturbing facts. (more…)

Prager University: A Herculean Crusade for American Values

Prager University: A Herculean Crusade for American Values

by Susan Shotthafer

Just under Mother Jones’s, banner reading “Help Elect More Democrats, another article reads, Inside the Right-Wing YouTube Empire That’s Quietly Turning Millennials into Conservatives.

After Trumps’ November victory, Mother Jones reported, when people asking question about the Electoral College, “People turned to the New York Times and the Washington Post, Fox News, and even the Constitution for answers. But few sources were as widely consulted as Prager U’s Do You Understand the Electoral College.”  Receiving 850,000 views before November’s election, two weeks later, fifty million people had had viewed this presentation. Phenomenal?

Illustrating Prager U’s effectiveness, Dennis Prager explains that until releasing this video, polls tallied increasing numbers of people supporting abandonment of the electoral college in favor of popular vote for U.S President. After the video, support for removal of the electoral college began steady decline.

Inside the Right-Wing YouTube Empire That’s Quietly Turning Millennials Into Conservatives

Frequent first responses when hearing about Prager University’s lawsuit against Google’s restriction of videos is, “Google is a private company, so how can PragerU win?

The simple answer: Can United Airlines; the Hilton or Marie Callenders legally deny service because of someone’s gender, race, religious beliefs. or political views?  However, apparently, businesses can now discriminate because of political preference, Sarah Huckabee, for example.

Google’s claim to provide a platform for all views is false. Google has blocked 8o Prager U videos in homes filtering out pornography and adult material, libraries and schools. Google’s reason for is that the PragerU content is” inappropriate” for children—an absurdity. The truthful reason—PragerU threatens leftists’ agenda.

Responding to the ruling a Prager University states the crux of their argument:

[T]he judge made a “startling omission” when she described YouTube’s own self-description as a “community where everyone’s voice can be heard” no matter their “point of view” as non-binding “mere ‘puffery.’”

PragerU lost its first court battle but the judge left open the door for appeal that PragerU has now filed.

To counteract leftist university and public-school indoctrination, Dennis Prager founded Prager University in 2011. Primarily, Prager U’s states it missions as, “We Teach what Isn’t Taught” by presenting the “values that shaped America and made U. S. the strongest force the world has ever known.” First, videos were released monthly.  A year or so ago, PragerU began releasing a new video weekly.  You can learn more about Prager U’s impact and vison, at What We Do.

https://www.prageru.com/what-we-do

Last reported, videos numbered 250. Sixty percent of viewers are under 35 years old. Twenty-five percent of Americans have viewed the videos.  PragerU acquired 60 million viewers in 2017. On December 15, 2017, PragerU surpassed one billon views, including many from foreign countries, Views soar at about a thousand per minute, now at 1,560,618, — 10:15 a.m. 8-27-18.  Watching the numbers grow at the website is like watching our national debt clock.
