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.

2011 First Special Legislative Session

Day 18 - It's Friday the 13th and I'm back in Olympia ... pretty scary! Pardon the pun, but as frustrating as things are right now, humor helps keep the sanity. We've been told we're running 12 bills today, of course the Democrat Majority said the same thing on Tuesday when we only ran 3 bills. We still don't know how long we'll run today or if we'll be here this weekend, but I hope we're done early enough to get home to see our new stud colt. Belle's a new mom, with a pretty Red Dun stud colt.

Molly and I will be down in Zillah this weekend, assuming I'm home from Olympia, for Community Days. It's always fun to see all the folks Molly went to school with. I'm still trying to get all caught up around the place, but I did manage to get a trailer welded and a riser in the hay field fixed yesterday. I've still got a ways to go, but little by little I'm getting there.

We've started getting a lot of calls for calves for roping, which is great. I spoke with someone who has several of our calves for practice and he said they're running good and fast. As more people see and rope our calves, the demand should continue rise.
