Ballots are Coming

The ballots are coming. Voting day is approaching...can you feel the intensity? I'm already feeling bombarded with the print ads and TV advertising, but it will still heat up as November approaches.  Here's what I have to say about our Washington races:

(1) DINO vs. MURRAY

Stick with the issues. Murray continues to attack Dino with half-truth allegations and forgets that she's the one on the hot seat. She's part of a Congress that's made our economic situation go from bad to worse. She's part of a Senate which has neglected to pass a budget, and has avoided a vote for our tax structure which is set to begin in 2 1/2 months. She has been a proponent of the stimulus, and Obamacare, which they continue to say, "You're gonna like it, I promise" (Obamacare) and "It will eventually create jobs" (Stimulus).  The problem is we don't like it because the only way to support these programs is through OUR precious tax dollars. 

Do you find it interesting there isn't a single incumbent Democrat around the country running on how they passed milestone legislation for health care???  They know Obamacare was rammed through without support of the American public and they won't win any points by touting such a shameful, unconstitutional "achievement."  

This election is about jobs, the economy and reigning in government control over our lives. What has Patty Murray done to make any improvement?  She's been in office during our boom and now through our recession and yet still is mum about her track record and how that's affected me and you.

Just remember to stick to the issues. Stick to the issues. JOBS and the ECONOMY. 

(2) I-1098

It appears the State Income Tax initiative is in a dead-heat. I am so passionate about defeating 1098 but I think a lot of Washingtonians are feeling indifferent since it's only written to tax wealthier Washingtonians. 

Please share these facts with your friends and neighbors...two years, people...TWO SHORT YEARS and our State Government can make this income tax apply to ALL income-earning Washingtonians. And since our state re-wrote the law on tax hikes a few months ago, it only requires a simple majority vote. And if you trust them to hold back just look at our Sales Tax. It's one of the highest in the country and it continues to go up.  

1098 will not exist in a vacuum either. The effects of a state income tax will filter down to negatively affect our state economy and job growth. A state income tax will deter businesses from relocating to Washington and will deter businesses from expansion. That is job growth and we will see less of it. 

I am probably a broken record...but PLEASE, speak up. Share the details. And VOTE. Vote Vote Vote.
