January 21st - 2013 Regular Legislative Session Day 8

I was able to spend Sunday with Molly and half of the Torres clan. Autumn, Eric and Judah came over for the 2nd Amendment Rally on Saturday and stayed with us. It was great seeing them and nice to be able to sit and chat during the day. Molly left this morning and headed home. It’s going to be a long week.

I’m trying to get the last few bills completed today. I’m waiting on the final drafts for three bills and hope to be able to get those completed in the next couple of days.

Here’s today’s Introduction Sheet …

Day January 19th - 2013 Regular Regular Lesgilative Session 6

The 2nd Amendment Rally was awesome and really well attended. Here's my speech ...

Good afternoon and welcome to your state capitol. Ladies and gentlemen, we are facing dark times and now is the time for each and every one of us to stand strong to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The tragedies in Colorado, Oregon and Connecticut, and make no mistake these were major tragedies, were perpetrated by bad people, bent on harming good people. Guns don’t harm people, people harm people and no amount of gun laws, gun bans or gun registration will ever stop individuals wishing to harm others. We cannot allow government to use these tragedies to infringe upon our 2nd Amendment rights to keep and bear arms.

In the Declaration of Independence, our Founding Fathers declared that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights. There are two very important points in the Declaration. First, our Founding Fathers acknowledged that these rights came from God, not the Government. Government did not grant these rights and they certainly cannot take them away.

Second, the Founders used the word"unalienable” which means, not to be separated, given away, or taken away. The right to keep and bear arms is not a suggestion. It is not qualified with"unless the government says otherwise.” It is very clear, we have the God given, unalienable right to keep and bear arms.

We have already seen actions that threaten our 2nd Amendment rights and in the coming days and weeks, we will see proposals at the National and State level that will continue the assault on these rights. We all must be ready and stand in support of our rights, we must educate our friends and neighbors when these threats arise and we all must be willing to speak loudly in defense of our rights.

In the next few days, we will be introducing legislation that protects our 2nd Amendment Rights. The Firearms Freedom Act includes a provision declaring"any federal law, rule, regulation, or order attempting to ban or register semi-automatic firearms or any firearm magazine unenforceable in Washington State.

Folks, join me today in telling the government this is our line in the sand and that we will not go quietly into the night.
Join me in telling the government"you will not tread on me.”

Thank you for spending your Saturday defending freedom. God Bless all of you, God Bless Washington State and God Bless America.

January 19th - 2013 Regular Legislative Session Day 6

It's Saturday and there are no Legislative Committee meetings today. I'll be speaking at the 2nd Amendment Rally at the Capitol this afternoon and have already heard from several folks who made the drive from Yakima to be there. I'm looking forward to seeing eveyone.

Molly made it over last night ... it was great seeing her. Although I have some work to do this weekend, it's going to be really nice spending the weekend with Molly.

January 18th - 2013 Regular Legislative Session Day 5

The first week of the 2013 Washington Legislative Session is almost over and I’m looking forward to the weekend. Although I have a lot of work to do and will be working tomorrow, I do get to see Molly. I’ll be speaking at the 2nd Amendment Rally here in Olympia Saturday afternoon as well. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

I’m headed over the House Floor for Caucus and possible Floor action. I don’t expect there to be a lot of excitement today, but if something breaks I’ll be sure to post it here. The Local Government Committee is holding a Growth Management Workshop today at 1:30 in House Hearing Room D. If you live in the Olympia area, please come and share how your property rights have been damaged by the GMA.

Morning all. It's been a long week and it's only Wednesday. Last night's wind storm was a crazy and moved weeds and debris around ... first task this morning is cleaning up around the place. We’re headed up the Okanogan County on Saturday to give a short property rights presentation during the Okanogan County Farm Bureau’s Annual Dinner. I’m really looking to it, people in the Okanogan have a very good understanding of property rights which should lead to great questions and discussion.

I’m proud to announce my recent A+ grade and endorsement from the National Rifle Association – PVF. Like him or not, Rick Santorum really summed up the importance of the 2nd Amendment when he said"the Second Amendment is there to protect the First Amendment!” You can check out the grades for all candidates around Washington State here ... www.nrapvf.org/grades-endorsements/2012/washington....aspx.

Off to work now ...

From the ash-heap of forgotten times, liberty rises against tyranny and fuels the flames of freedom.
