Washington State had a nearly $5 billion budget shortfall this cycle, under Gov. Gregoir’s administration. In fact, Democrats have held the governor’s office for over 3 decades. Since 1999, under Gov. Locke’s and Gregoire’s administrations, state spending has increased by 66%.
Clearly, “business as usual” has not served the citizens of this state, and it’s time for a change. Please come, bring a friend, and get to know Rob McKenna.
The revival of the Maine GOP
Is there hope for WA?
“For the first time since 1964, Maine Republicans captured the governorship, the senate, and the house—a trifecta made possible, boasts GOP mastermind Charlie Webster as he chews on his ham and cheese omelet, because “we represent the working people” and were able to convince voters of this.”

Michael Steele is now out as chairman of the Republican National Committee, having lost his re-election bid this past Friday. Is Luke Esser going to follow a similar path when the Washington State Republican Party elects its chairman next Saturday?
There are three people running against Esser for a new two-year term as State Party Chairman – Kirby Wilbur, Curt Fackler, and Bill Rennie. After Steve Beren posted his interviews of both Esser and the first candidate to throw his hat in the ring, Wilbur, (http://www.redcounty.com/content/my-interview-luke-esser-our-party-always-re-energized-right), I put out a poll on the Puget Sound Conservative Underground website, asking whom should be the Chairman of the Republican Party – Esser or Wilbur? (http://www.meetup.com/PugetSoundConservativeUnderground/polls/259055/). Of the 53 conservatives who took the poll, an overwhelming 51 chose Wilbur. Read more »

From Albert Einstein: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Our state and our nation have serious debt and spending problems. Our kids and grandkids will pay for the consequences if we keep electing the same people. Inslee and Murray have had their chance. It’s time to give Watkins and Rossi the opportunity. Chase and Kagi have shown that fiscal responsiblity is not a priority, and Ryu has questionable ethics. Vote for Baker, Gagliardi and Coday.
Gary’s opponant, Ruth Kagi, is a nice, soft spoken woman. But her priorities (early childhood education) do not address critical issues in Washington. Gary wants to correct the financial mess in Olympia without compromising essential services provided by the state.
Inslee has a way to avoid answering questions. This video humorously and creatively gets to the point without wasting time. Here is more.
From the Evergreen Freedom Foundation
In the third annual “Hey! Big Spender” report, we used ten-year projections compiled by the state Office of Financial Management to determine which legislators wanted to take the most from your wallet over the next decade. We added up proposed ten-year tax and fee increases for each legislator, using the list of bills they sponsored.
Maralyn Chase from the 32nd does us proud as the biggest spender out of 98 representatives and 49 senators! She is being challenged by David Baker, a fiscal conservative and superior choice.
