"Be it remembered, however, that liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker! But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood. And liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers.” John Adams, Essay on Canon and Feudal Law
This past week we had Committee Assembly in Olympia. I still haven’t figured out the purpose of bringing everyone to Olympia for Committee meetings immediately following an election, especially considering some of us won’t be serving on the same committees in January. I currently serve on four committees, but two of those committees were recently reorganized as part of several other committees and in 2013 won’t exist in form or function. It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s Olympia and it’s not meant to make sense.
I was able to work on several pieces of possible legislation over the past several days and hope to have some language finalized over the next couple of weeks. We’re currently working on language for bills related to elections, property rights and taxation, among others. We’ll be posting links to the legislation, once completed … stay tuned.
