Less Government, Lower Taxes and More Freedom - 2014 Legislative Session Day 37
Senate Bill 6523, the Real Dream Act, passed the House 75 to 22 with 1 excused. So much for Section 6 of the Washington State Republican Party Platform, which reads"Section 6: We believe our BORDERS are best protected by a fair and enforced IMMIGRATION policy. The United States government must protect all of our borders from illegal crossings; therefore, we support the enactment of a temporary guest worker program, which includes proper security measures, and that all existing immigration laws should be enforced immediately.”

Less Government, Lower Taxes and More Freedom - 2014 Legislative Session Day 2
My first committee meeting of the day is in Government Operations and Elections where we’re considering three bills. House Bill 2105 requires public agencies with governing bodies to post meeting agendas online at least 24 hours in advance of a regular meeting and exempts agencies that do not have websites or that have five or fewer full-time equivalent employees from posting agendas online.
Engrossed House Bill 1279 allows 16- and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote when applying for a driver's license or identicard.
House Bill 2121 requires training for members of a governing body of a public agency on the Open Public Meetings Act; requires training for elected state and local officials and agency public records officers on the Public Records Act; and requires training for elected state and local officials and agency records retention officers on the preservation and destruction of public records.
The Governor’s State of the State Address is scheduled for 12:00 PM today. I’ll be posting a response to the Governor’s statement later today.

House Bill 1817 - WA State DREAM Act
Yakima Herald Republic | Senator insists state unable to afford proposed ‘Dream Act’:: www.yakimaherald.com/news/yhr/saturday/991588-8/se...dream
I had the opportunity to work with Senator Bailey over the last 4 years when she was a member of the House. I think she provides a good breakdown of some of the issues with House Bill 1817.

January 26th - 2013 Regular Legislative Session Day 13
I'm home for the weekend and can't wait to spend the day with Molly. I woke up this morning to a remarkable number of Robins in the pasture ... maybe a sign of an early spring, I sure hope so. I'll be speaking this morning at the statewide Republican Liberty Caucus event, along with Matt Shea and Jason Overstreet. We’re also all going to the Yakima County Cattlemen’s Annual Dinner tonight … I can’t wait to see everyone.
Here’s an article about the WA Firearms Freedom Act we introduced earlier this week. www.examiner.com/article/washington-state-prepares...-bill
I hope everyone has a great day.

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.

2012 Regular Legislative Session Day 50
I had a fairly good weekend in Olympia. I started reading The Love Dare and The Resolution on Sunday, both are great books thus far and a real eye opener for my many short-comings. I went and watched Act of Valor last night ... holy cow, great movie. God bless the men and women protecting this great Nation.
We’re on the House Floor this afternoon. We don’t have any indication on how late we’re going to go tonight, so it could be a very long day. Stay tuned.

2012 Regular Legislative Session Day 19
It's Friday baby! I'm in the Labor and Workforce Development Committee this morning listening to testimony on HB 2348 related to the Workforce Investment Act and HB 2265 establishing Washington Works payments to increase graduation rates. HB 2265 will only cost the taxpayers $140 million per biennium.
Last night the State Government and Tribal Affairs Committee met at 6:30 PM to take Executive Action on 10 bills. We made a procedural motion to put the Regulatory Freedom and Accountability Act on the Executive Session calendar, but the motion failed. So much for the Denorcrat Majority wanting to deal with systemic problems with over regulation. We'll keep working on it for the next few days.
Last night the House Republican Organizational Committee met at AWB to elect 3 members to the Board of Directors. I was officially elected as the Eastern Washington representative to the HROC Board of Directors. With 8 seats, we take the majority ... Time to get to work, as soon as session ends.
