Title: Identify Candidates that are Committed to Protecting our Hard-Won Freedoms
Post by: huntrights on May 23, 2012, 04:22:22 PM

Who are our legislative friends and legislative candidates that are committed to protecting and supporting our 2nd Amendment rights, our hunting and fishing rights, our private property rights, our access to public lands and waters, our use of public lands and waters, all of our Constitutional rights, and our hard won freedoms in general?  Many people may be unsure who they should support and vote for; a voting guide for all levels of government would be helpful.

We need to identify candidates that are incumbents and those we want to be elected that are committed to protecting our cherished freedoms.   They need to be identified at all levels of government starting at the top and going all the way down to the local levels (i.e. city councils).   There has been interest expressed in creating a matrix that might act as a voting and support guide.

For example, there are two Thurston County Commissioners, Sandra Romero and Cathy Wolfe, that are up for re-election; we DO NOT want them re-elected.  Andrew Barkis is running against incumbent Sandra Romero and Karen Rogers is running against incumbent Cathy Wolfe.

PLEASE VOTE FOR Andrew Barkis and Karen Rogers to WIN the Commissioner’s seats in Thurston County.

PLEASE VOTE FOR Mark Harmsworth (44th District Representative)

Although it is a big task, a voting guide like this may be helpful.  Let's get the word out there to support these people. 

We also might consider a “Thumbs-Down” list for those who are NOT considered our friends (i.e.  DO NOT VOTE FOR Hans Dunshee or Jay Inslee).

Jaimie Herrera Beutler is Pro all of the above. And she's cute, so vote for her, too.

What do we expect from our elected representatives at all levels?

Our rights and our freedoms are being attacked everyday by power hungry, anti-gun, anti-hunting, anti-freedom zealots. 

Ask your current representatives and candidates where they stand.  Let them know what you expect.

Here are a few points that should be important to all of us.


1. Protect our rights.

• All rights provided by the United States Constitution and Washington State Constitution.  This includes the Bill of Rights which includes the Second Amendment.

• Private property rights.

2. Protect our freedoms.

• The freedom to hunt and fish.

• Access to public lands and waters.

• Use of public lands and waters.

3. Protect free enterprise.

• Encourage economic growth.

4. Protect our environment.

• Encourage responsible use of our resources.

5. Protect the American People and our way of life.

• No other country in the world gives its People all of the freedoms and protection we enjoy and cherish in the USA.

I am sure all of you could easily add to the list.
