Thanks for the info Tawnya I'll look into it more and see if I can get a day off from work! DC = Den of Corruption!

Paul, Several groups across Washington State will be at the Sovereignty Winter Fest on January 14, 2010 at our state capitol to let our legislators know that we expect them to uphold Washington State Sovereignty. (See WA Discussion Forum) Also see Resist DC: A Step-by-Step Plan for Freedom. "Government works best when it is close to the people".

I used the access washington site to skim the governor's very large budget and sort of picked departments and agencies out of it to find numbers. The actual budget docs are there as a pdf.

Catherine, do you have a link for all the numbers you have in your letter? Thanks.

That woman is another who has GOT TO GO!!! I am so sick of this kind of spending and cutting! We'll need to keep these in files to be reminded upon re-election! OUTTA THERE!! WE need America back! Stop the hand outs!

Gregoire's Last Stand (My latest letter to editor)

“They represent, I believe, the most responsible decisions we could make with the constraints we faced.” These words were in the latest press release of 12/09/09 by Gov. Christine Gregoire regarding the $2.6 billion budget shortfall.

Basic Health Plan, Apple Health for Children and General Assistance Unemployable program affect over 100,000 people who are usually underemployed or unemployed and low-income. So, while the rest of the country has been awash in nothing but “health care reform” ostensibly to cover the “uninsured and low-income” among other things, our esteemed Governor can’t find anything else to cut except health insurance for the poorest among us, and she refers to those cuts as “responsible?”

Well, how “responsible” is it for Gregoire to jet to Copenhagen (a little out of Washington State jurisdiction if I remember my geography) first class, stay at the most lavish Copenhagen hotel and limo around town with the world’s elite on tax payer funds? And, she took two of her aids with her, again, at our expense!

In reviewing just a few of her budget items, I’d think the 825 million spent by government to study its own efficiency, 7.5 million to promote food supply safety, 36 million for Puget Sound Action Agenda, 15 million for new WSU student tracking program or 6 million to build new Aviation H.S. and fund Museum of Flight Space Gallery (now that Boeing is leaving in bits and pieces) among many others might have been more “responsible” cuts by the Governor thus saving health care insurance for the low income and children!

So, what could possibly be her motive? The new federal health care plan which she hopes passes and will immediately cover those she has cut. Last time I looked, nothing has been passed and considering that this is the federal government, nothing would happen very quickly either. So, now these newly uninsured people will simply go through emergency rooms to get medical attention which will automatically drive up costs to the rest of us – the new “resdistribution of wealth” program. Thank you, Gov. Gregoire.

Any there any specific actions we here in WA are trying regarding the 2 libs from WA as they vote "for" the Healthcare bill. I have called and emailed and it pretty much seems to be on deaf ears! Just wondered if there was any kind of organized effort to make our voices louder...

So Brian Baird isn't planning on running for re-election. I'm certainly not sorry, but I liked that he was under pressure to try to appease his constituents. Now... who knows?

This is an issue that no one seems to be talking about, but needs to be stopped. The House could vote "no later than Friday" on their Regulatory Reform bill. The Democrats are feeling pretty good about getting it through (and why shouldn't they, they've gotten everything else through), but let's still make our voices hear. I'm curious how Baird will vote since he's been voting with Republicans lately trying to improve his record.
