NO MORE EXCUSES: RECLAIM EDUCATION FOR OUR KIDS

For decades politicians have poured more and more money into public education. Each administration has had a new prescription for better schools. The result? Lower test scores. In the meantime, children--your children--are being robbed of their education.
One future at a time.

The good news is, solutions exist. The bad news is, our bureaucratic education system resists them. To turn the status quo on its head the people with the most invested--their children--must speak up.
On November 16th the Evergreen Freedom Foundation invites you to an evening of facts, solutions, and true stories of educational options that work.

 
- a screening of the Freedom Foundation's award-winning documentary Flunked(www.flunkedthemovie.com)
- Q&A with Flunked Producer Steven Maggi
- "No More Excuses: Reclaim Education": presentation by Evergreen Freedom Foundation Education Analyst Diana Cieslak Moore
- AND a sneak peak at the Freedom Foundation's new iLearn Project miniseries including a brand new episode (www.ilearnproject.com)!

Washington State is at a cross-roads and it is this election that will define our future. For the last six years, the State General Fund Budget has grown by over 26% even through the hard economic times we’re facing. It’s time we send a message to Olympia; the era of big government is over. It’s time that a new transparent and accountable government lead Washington State out of this recession.

Folks, Washington State simply cannot tax, spend or borrow its way out of a $5.0 billion deficit. We need to fundamentally change the way government operates, increase local control over decisions that lead to economic gain, remove the bureaucratic roadblocks State government consistency places in front of its citizens, and return to the “Priorities of Government”.

The Washington State Constitution is very explicit in declaring what government is mandated to do. Protect public health and safety (including the most vulnerable in our society), provide for the education of all children and provide infrastructure. These should be the “Priorities of Government” and these are the areas in which the Legislature must focus its attention.

Next, we must pass sound economic policies which promote free enterprise, privatization of government programs where feasible, reform the onerous regulation on our businesses, and provide the tax incentives necessary to promote expansion of existing businesses.

Finally, we must expand local control to provide local governments with the tools they need to recruit new businesses to Washington State. To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, “the government closest to the people, governs best.” We must allow our locally elected officials (City Councils and County Commissioners) the power to meet the needs of the people they serve. We must remove bureaucratic oversight from their decisions and, in doing so, return the power to the electorate.

This election will define our future and I ask for your support this November.

We live the best country this world has ever known and our Founding Fathers established the framework to make it that way. Government has never and will never be the solution! It's time we return to the Constitutional principles this Country was founded upon and get Government out of our daily lives. We need a smaller, more constrained government that frees people to follow their dreams.

Well the weather has finally returned to normal and it seems everyone it working as fast as they can to get their crops in. It looks like we should have at least 9 more days of great weather. The Central Washington State Fair kicked off last Friday and should greatly benefit from the nice weather too. Last Friday night we attended a great fundraiser for Dino Rossi at the Wilkenson Estate ... wow, what a place, what a crowd and what a candidate!

Just a reminder, Tuesday September 28th is the House Republican Organizational Committee fundraiser/Meet and Greet. We'd really like to get as many people there as we can to show Central Washington is the "Conservative Center" of Washington State. I hope to see everyone there.

We are having some weird, crazy weather. Things are not looking good for the last cutting of hay, which could cause prices to jump significantly. We had a great evening at the Yakima County Medical Society forum last night and look forward to working with the group in the future.

Mark your calendars for a House Republican Organizational Committee on September 28, 2010 at the new Holiday Inn in Yakima (across from the Convention Center) from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. This is Central Washington's chance to meet members of the House Republican Caucus Leadership Team. I hope to see everyone there.

Finally a little quiet time. We had a very busy weekend filled with a whole lot of friends and family in and out of the house all weekend. Our good friend Tim Kunka, came over Friday night after interviewing for a Range Management job in Ellensburg. My mother in law also came in from southeastern Oregon Friday night for the weekend.

Brock and I went down to the Grand Ol Picnic in Underwood yesterday ... it was great. We got to see a lot of wonderful people and I gave an old fashion stump speech (actually standing on a tree stump). It was a lot of fun.

VETERANS SHOW hands and receive applause for their service during Sunday’s Gorge Constitutional Tea Party rally in Dallesport. RaeLynn Ricarte photo

Tea Party rallies voters

1,800 attend political rally at regional airport

By RaeLynn Ricarte
The Dalles Chronicle


Brian Ahier of The Dalles joined a crowd of about 1,800 people at Sunday’s Gorge Constitutional Tea Party rally in Dallesport.
“This is not about Democrats or Republicans, it’s about common sense,” said Ahier, a city councilor. “Common sense would tell you that you can’t spend your way into prosperity and you can’t borrow your way out of debt. I think we have a major incumbent problem in D.C. and if they are not willing to restrain themselves we need to replace them.”
The theme that Pres. Barack Obama and Congress were “out of control” was woven through most of the comments made at the rally, which took place at the airport.
Keynote speaker Lars Larson, a Northwest and national radio talk show host, encouraged the audience, most of whom were Republicans, to get politically active. He said the future of America, the world’s “last great hope,” hinged upon its citizens holding leaders accountable to follow constitutional principles that limited the reach of government and maximized individual freedoms.
“This president increased our national public debt by $2.5 trillion dollars during his first 19 months in office. That is more debt than has been amassed by all other presidents combined,” said Larson. “We need to take our country back because we can’t waste the sacrifices that our military has made over the years to protect our freedoms.”
Two Washington State officials traveled to the gorge to attend the second rally organized during 2010 by Jerry Smith of Husum and other area residents. Rep. Bruce Chandler, R-Granger, and Rep. David Taylor, R-Moxee, said it was encouraging to see citizens exercising their right to assemble and speak freely about their concerns.
“If more people would come to events like this, it would really change the direction for this state and country,” said Chandler. “This election (November) is going to define a generation; it’s a watershed moment and these folks seem to understand how high the stakes are.”
Taylor told the crowd that they should hold government officials accountable but that they, as citizens and voters, also had to take responsibility for protecting their rights.
“This is not about politics, it’s about right and wrong,” he said.
Smith said the Gorge Tea Party, like similar groups across the nation, formed to provide citizens with a venue to protest government actions.
“We have a voter registration table set up and we want people to go away from here energized and ready to participate in the political process,” he said.
Smith said the first Klickitat County rally in the spring had drawn about 1,000 people and he anticipated that the size of the crowd would continue to grow with each subsequent event.
“People aren’t really happy about what is happening in this country right now and the tea parties are a grassroots movement to send that message to elected officials,” he said.
Jan Jones of Trout Lake and Bill Biersch of Glenwood have attended five tea party rallies to date and plan to be present for as many future gatherings as possible.
“We’ll do anything that we can do to fix this country,” said Jones.
Kenan Heppy and Joseph Jackson, both of Hood River, said they were drawn to the Dallesport rally out of curiosity.
“I just wanted to see who was here and to support the cause,” said Heppy.
Larson said the tea party movement formed primarily to warn Republicans that they needed to return to their conservative roots or lose support from their constituents. He said if elected officials do not get that message, it is likely that Tea Party activists will start a separate political movement. http://chum.ly/n/324dbb

Support Ref. 52 — Washington Environmental Council

 wecprotects.org/news/ref-52-jobs-bill-heads-to-the...allot

All, please do your homework before voting to approve Referendum 52. This bond issue asks the voters to approve general obligation bonds $505 million OUTSIDE the state debt limit, it will make the bottle water tax permanent to pay for the debt service, the debt service is estimated to be $72 million per year or $1.0 billion over twenty-five years, and will ultimately cause the state's bond rating to be downgraded costing the taxpayers an additional $3.5 to $7.0 million per $1 billion in financing costs.

The fact the the Washington Environmental Council supports passage of Ref. 52 ought to scare the heck out of all of us.

"Trust, but verify." - President Ronald Reagan

No truer words have ever been spoken, especially with Ref. 52.

We had a busy weekend down in Klickitat County. Saturday we attended the Huckleberry Festival in Bingen and I spent 30 minutes in the dunk tank to help raise money for the Sheriff's Toys for Tots program. On Sunday we attended the TEA Party in Dallesport ... what a great turnout. They estimated the crowd to be over 1,700 people from all over the Gorge. Molly and I got to meet Lars Larson, who shares many of my concerns with Wolf Management. It sounds like I may be on his radio show to discuss it ... holy cow! It's going to be a busy week, but I'm looking forward to the challenges and opportunities it will surely bring.

We might go up to Ellensburg tomorrow night for the high school football game against East Valley, but still haven't decided for certain. Saturday we're in Bingen for the Huckleberry Festival Parade and I'll be in the Sheriff's Dunk Tank from 12:30 to 1:00 PM to help raise money for the help raise money for their Toys for Tots program. Sunday we'll be in Dallesport for the TEA Party from 2:00 to 4:00 PM.

The Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer and is always filled with much to do. We sent a load of cattle to a rodeo yesterday and Molly went to Ellensburg to watch the rodeo. Today looks to be slow day for us, but we'll be at the Wapato Harvest Festival tomorrow for the parade.

I just got word from a friend who's having their Annual Horse Sale on September 18th. If anyone is looking for a young horse with great breeding, you should check this sale out.  www.promised-land-ranch.com.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish." - Proverbs 29:18

Throughout the campaign season, I encourage everyone to ask candidates what their vision is for the future of Washington State and the Nation. We need to get beyond the simple tag lines of "smaller government", "lower taxes" and "common sense". These are all great, but how will we accomplish it. Our leaders must put forth a plan to return to the Constitutional principles this Country and Washington State were founded upon.

It looks like the weather over the Labor Day Weekend will be very nice. Looking for something to do, check out Wapato's Harvest Festival parade Monday morning or head up to Ellensburg for the Fair and world famous Rodeo. It's the last weekend of the summer, so have some fun with friends and family.

It's time We the People remind the Legislature who has the power in our Country and let them know they can either stand with us or we'll find someone who will.

What a great candidate forum in Bickleton tonight. I focused my comments on returning to the Constitutional Principles this Country was founded upon. Let's not forget, three little words, a mere 11 letters "WE THE PEOPLE". We the people are vested with the power over the government. We the people must demand a smaller government that respects and is accountable to the people.

"Don't tread on me" and "Give me Freedom or Give me Death" not just slogans, but words which delivered our Country to greatness. Let's make 2010 a November to Remember!

Local News | WA governor may call special legislative session | Seattle Times Newspaper

This is not good news for the taxpayers of Washington State. Mark my words, if we're called to Special Session the State Democrats will proclaim "we've cut everything we can and we're now forced to raise taxes." The truth of the matter is the 2010 Supplemental Budget contained $359 million in new policy additions and these new expenditures were passed through a completely partisan vote. The bi-partisan effort opposed the new expenditures.

It's midnight and I just got home from another 18 tons of hay. Dang late nights and no sleep begin to wear on you. Now I know I don't want to be a part of the Deadliest Catch. We should be down to our last 20 tons tomorrow night. I'll be in Underwood tomorrow night ... I guess it's tonight now ... for a candidate forum. http://chum.ly/n/213f10

Excerpt from the Anti-Federalist Papers – Col. Mason, Virginia Delegate

“Under their own construction of the general clause, at the end of the enumerated powers, the Congress may grant monopolies in trade and commerce, constitute new crimes, inflict unusual and severe punishments, and extend their powers as far as they shall think proper, so that the State legislatures have no security for the powers now presumed to remain to them, or the people for their rights.”

So often today, those individuals who are fighting to preserve State’s Rights are laughed upon by the progressive movement. Interestingly, over 200 years ago our Founding Fathers also expressed concern over preserving State’s Rights, which led to the 10th Amendment specifically preserving those powers, not otherwise granted to the Federal Government, with the people first and then to the States.

The time has come to remind all of our elected leaders the Constitution matters and we expect them to follow it.

Holy cow! We loaded 12 tons of hay last night and finally got home around 11:15 PM. It looks like we have about another 30 tons to go ... YIKES! We have another Candidate Forum tomorrow night in Underwood and hope to attend the Yakima Freedom Partners event Thursday night. We'll wrap up the week by delivering 25 steers to Enumclaw for a rodeo on Saturday. Busy, busy, busy. http://chum.ly/n/20e885

We had a successful candidate forum in Goldendale last night. The turnout was great and people were very supportive.

"We the People" .. very powerful words. Our Founding Fathers knew that government must be kept in check and reserving the power with the People was the best way to do that. The only way to change the way government operates is to take it back this November.

"The Time Is Now" ... really Governor?

Gregoire sends correct message on water needs | Yakima Herald-Republic  www.yakima-herald.com/stories/2010/07/05/gregoire-..

The Governor's message may be correct, but actions speak louder than words and, thus far, the Governor has taken no action. The Governor, her agencies, tribal interests, and environmentalists are all seeking "consensus" to address water needs in the Yakima Basin. Let's all remember what Margaret Thatcher said about "Consensus" ...

"To me consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects—the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner "I stand for consensus"?"

Margaret thatcher also said, "Consensus is the absence of leadership." Governor Gregoire, now is the time for action and real leadership. http://chum.ly/n/1d2871
