Election Voting Underway
Voting in Washington’s 2018 General Election is now underway as ballots were mailed last week to all registered Clallam County voters.
New Washington state voters have until Monday, Oct. 29 to register in person at the Auditor’s Office in the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. 4th St. in Port Angeles, to participate in this election.
A “Yes” Vote on 1634 is a “No” Vote to Increased Taxes
How do you stop a tax before it begins? Well, we have a way to do that on our November ballot. Simply vote “YES” on Initiative 1634 – the “Keep Groceries Affordable” initiative!
Washington state government doesn’t currently collect taxes on food and beverages, but a loophole exists to allow local governments to do so.
And Seattle used that loophole to tax sweetened carbonated drinks. (Big surprise there!) That really was the engine to get this initiative off the ground!
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...

Vote “NO” on Initiative 1639
By Jim McEntire
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.
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.

Trump’s Accomplishments – 2017-2018
The "Wheel" at the Clallam County Fair GOP booth showed the accomplishments by President Trump so far in his first term. In case you didn't get by the booth, here they are:
Death of a Nation: Can We Save America a Second Time?
We went to see Death of a Nation, and it far exceeded our expectations as to the message, the history, and the need to be vigilant, with suggested action. I highly recommend it - it's an excellent well-produced, fast-moving film that young people, especially, should...
