Jimmie Applegate Here is a reminder about tickets for the Lincoln Day Dinner from Chairman Manweller:
Hi Folks,
We have a great night planed and after what happened in the health care bill, we need to send a strong message that we are united, opposed, and ready to fight in November!
Thanks,
Matt Manweller

Jimmie Applegate We should be thankful that Attorney General Rob McKenna has the gumption to stand up for the law and not cater to the wishes of the liberal Governor Christine Gregoire who is catering to her special interest groups for votes and support. Attorney General McKenna is elected by the people to represent the people in upholding the law. Governor Gregoire wants him to consult with her and others in her administration before he declares to uphold the law. As governor, Gregoire should support state’s rights as proclaimed in the 10th Amendment. Instead, in her zeal to cater to an ultra liberal progressive president to obtain a national appointment, she is willing to abdicate her responsibilities to the people of the state of Washington.
Do you think Washington would be facing a $2.8B deficit with increasing sales tax, taxes on bottled water, pop, candy, etc., etc., had Republican Dino Rossi been elected? Did you get the change you wanted with a Democratic governor and a Democratic majority in the legislature? If not, what are you willing to do to assist in reelecting, or electing, legislators who will represent those who elected them come November? Our future rests in our hands!

Jimmie Applegate Doc Hastings posted House Bill for the Reconciliation Legislation on line. Only a couple of thousand pages. But you don’t need to get past page 15, lines 20-21 and page 30, lines 1-25 to raise the hackles on the nape of your neck. It may make good bedtime reading but you will not sleep well!
