• No Taxation Without Representation
    Currently the legal age to work is 14 years old, and many youth begin working around 16 years old. They pay taxes on their income and yet they are still unable to vote for policies which affect their lives and livelihoods. This goes against some of the basic principles which inspired the forging of our great nation. It's time to fix the voting age so that anyone who is paying taxes has a say in how they are spent through the democratic process. This will also have the added benefit of increasing the level of interest youth take in our elections and the democratic process and therefore hopefully increase the number of people who take part in each election. Studies show that those who start voting young are much more likely to continue to vote their entire lives. This can only benefit our nation. It's time that everyone that pays taxes had a say in how our taxes are spent.

  • GLBT/Religious Community Marriage Rights
    Whether you call it religious, spiritual, God fearing, God loving, believers, or however else it's best identified for the individual; this community deserves to preserve Biblical standards. It is possible for the GLBT community to have equal legal rights from being in a union with one another, for tax purposes, work benefits, etc. without redefining marriage for all believers everywhere. God's Word does specifically state that marriage is between a man and a woman and was originally ordained for the purpose of reproduction. Let's respect and protect this specific union.

  • No Child Left Behind?
    Children at 5 years can begin school as a Kindergartener as long as their birthday is BEFORE September 1st of that school year. This has been going on for years and it is not fair. If a child is going to be 5 years old that school year, they should be allowed to start school with everyone else instead of being held back a year.

  • Stop SB #1466--budget cuts for disabled individuals!
    We thank the PA appropriations committee for their restoration of the 20% cuts that were originally proposed. We have 10% more to fight for! Senate Bill #1466 would cut that funding. Let's tell our state senate and house of representatives to leave these funds untouched!

  • Save Cal Grants
    The Cal Grant program helps thousands of students attend college each year, and the new plan to raise the GPA minimum would derail over 26,600 students. Denying financial aid to these individuals would greatly increase California’s dropout rate, creating problems that extend far beyond the education system.

  • NO NEW SNOQUALMIE HOSPITAL
    The hospital's administration has created, and presides over, a culture of corruption. To feed their egocentric narcissism and keep receiving their exhorbitant salaries, they continue to manipulate a weak, co-opted board. Over the last 6 years, the board has voted unanimously 99.5% of the time for everything the self-serving administration has proposed. The new hospital decision was reached in secret meetings to avoid a vote or public input. A new hospital would be only nine (9) miles from Swedish/Issaquah and cost $38.5 million, or $101.4 million with the lease-purchase scheme. This is beyond stupid and wastes scarce health care dollars, including Medicare & Medicaid.
