1033 is bad for Washington. Simple as that. I am standing with the “NO on 1033” campaign and am offering this post as a resource for all of you who’d like to work to stop 1033 from becoming the law of our land.
Aisling Kerins, Campaign Manager at No On 1033 put it this way in a recent email:
“Tim Eyman’s scheme is a simplistic, one-size-fits-all solution that leaves our children, small businesses, fire fighters, and so many others holding the bag. We can’t allow it to pass, and that’s why making sure we talk to every voter in the next five weeks is so essential.”
Phone banking, calling your neighbors or doing a knock and talk on your block, are all good ways to help put a stop to the nonsense that 1033 proposes. Displaying a yard sign or placing a sign in your car or home window also helps get the word out.
You can get involved by signing up on the No on 1033 site. Or you can contact the local No on 1033 field organizer, Heather Melton-Stuart. Her cell: 360-521-6255 and her email: heather@no1033.com.
Help preserve a sound Washington. Stand together against 1033.

JIM MOELLER:
I want to thank you all for inviting me and for being willing to hear the candidates speak about the issues.
Harry Truman, when he was U.S President, once addressed the Washington Garden Club and kept referring to ‘good manure’ that must be used on flowers.
Some society ladies later complained to the First Lady Margaret Truman, “Bess, can’t you get the President to say fertilizers? ”
The First Lady replied, “It took me 25 years to get him to say ‘manure’.”

Well today I will try to give you as straight a reckoning as I can about the economic crises we have slipped into and what we can do about it, even here on the local level.
I am going to surprise everyone- I think- by not giving you the usual, garden variety Democratic line about corporate greed.
I may even further surprise you by saying, I don’t think greed got us here. And I’ll go even further by offering the idea that the Founding Fathers, were they here now, would agree that greed is not the problem.
The Founding Fathers were students of human events. Continue reading ‘Address to Veterans 2008 – Military Officers’ Association of America’ »
