CALL THE HOTLINE IN OLYMPIA & LET THEM KNOW YOU SUPPORT THESE BILLS:  800 562 6000.

While the Democrats – who control the State Legislature, the State Senate and the Governor – madly push forward huge tax bills and take our individual rights, making the “State” both “parent” and “overseer”, the Republicans have written bills (most of which will never see the light of day :”because” they are in the minority, to bring a more safe and affordable life to each of us, and to make government more accountable to “we the people”, whom they are supposed to serve.

Following are several bills which I urge you to support by writing or calling Olympia.  Call the HOTLINE – it’s quick and easy – and let our legislators know you want these bills passed.

BILLS TO SUPPORT – KEEPING OUR LIVES MORE SAFE

BILLS TO SUPPORT – KEEPING OUR LIVES MORE AFFORDABLE

Everyone should have the opportunity to achieve their version of the American dream. The governor and Legislature should not get in the way of pursuing these dreams. Instead of supporting expensive policies, onerous regulations and new tax increases that drive up the cost of living, we must work to make life more affordable for everyone. Some of our ideas include:

BILLS TO SUPPORT – KEEP GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE

The governor and Legislature have an obligation to make the most of every tax dollar collected and spent. This starts with accountability for the decisions they make. State government should be focused on making programs and services more efficient, successful and transparent. By demanding accountability, increasing transparency and respecting the will of the voters, we can begin to restore the trust broken under years of unaccountable, one-party rule. Some of our concepts include:

  • Protect all constitutional rights.
  • Eliminate title-only, “ghost bills” and increase legislative transparency. | House Bill 2190
  • Respect the will of the voters (I-976) and address transportation revenue shortfalls with existing revenue. | House Bill 2323
  • Impose strict penalties for sewage spills into Puget Sound. | House Bill 2275
  • Implement metrics and performance audits for state spending. | House Bill 2150
  • Require a 2/3 majority of the Legislature to raise taxes. | House Joint Resolution 4206
