What a great night and morning here at the Taylor house. Yesterday was Jason Overstreet birthday, so he and Jess drove over for dinner with us and Eric and Autumn Torres. We enjoyed Cajun Surf and Turf pasta for dinner and Molly's chocolate mousse for dessert. Good food, great friends and awesome conversation. What an incredible time to share ideas, discuss the issues and identify solutions to the problems facing Washington State today. Wow! Thank you, Jess, for including us in your plans to celebrate Jason’s birthday.

"Forced to Make A Decision Without Key Information" | Washington State Wire - Washington State Wire is an independent nonpartisan news gathering organization focusing on Washington state government and the policies that affect Washington residents’ daily lives.:: washingtonstatewire.com/blog/forced-to-make-a-deci...ation

Here's the key quote ... "The State will go beyond federal requirements and mandate coverage in all health plans, further increasing costs but ensuring coverage for all kids." Keep this in mind when you hear the State is facing a $1.7 billion deficit next biennium.

Reposted from earlier ... for some reason it didn't post everywhere it was supposed to.

Hello friends, it’s been a busy couple of weeks and things are likely to get busier the rest of the month. We rode in the Sunshine Days Parade Saturday in Sunnyside and saw a lot of our supporters. During a conversation with one of them, I was asked about the Governor’s race and who I was supporting. I have to admit that I was a little surprised by the question, but I responded that I will be voting for Rob McKenna and will work very hard to make sure Jay Inslee does not win. If you think things in Olympia are bad now, Jay Inslee would make it all worse.

With that said, I’d like to suggest that the Governor’s race is not the most critical race we’re watching. While the governor does hire agency directors and set policy, which can impact people’s lives, liberty and property, the governor doesn’t make laws, the governor doesn’t decide how much money to spend or where to spend it and the governor doesn’t pass new taxes. If you want to get Washington back on the right track, it’s much more important that we have a majority in the House of Representatives than any one person in the Governor’s Mansion. We need to pick up eight seats and we have a great group of people running across the state. Take a look right here hroc.us/2012-candidates.

If you want to make a difference, pick one or two of these fine individuals and help them. Doorbell, phone bank, contribute, do something to help them win in November. If not now, when? If not us, who? With your help, we can get Washington working again.

For whatever reason, the link in my previous post was moved from the body of the post and put in the heading. Oh well ...

Someone forgot to tell DOT these cameras are unconstitutional. No worries, we're already looking into it and will post our findings later. Stay tuned ...

DNC 2012: DNC Platform Changes on God, Jerusalem Spur Contentious Floor Vote - YouTube





Regardless of what you personally think about this, it would be good to read Luke 22:34 and then watch the video. I cannot take credit for this observation, a friend pointed it out to me.
