AG Rob Mckenna and broken Promises


Washington State …

Like Mitt Romney AG McKenna is a flip flopper – not to mention being a part of a small group of 26 trying to get rid of #ACA ,which helps Women and the families they manage.  He is not qualified to take stewardship of Washington State  … Jay Inslee is right for Washington State

AG Rob McKenna stated he was only against the Mandate yet he filed a challenge to the entire #ACA . This action can be considered reckless and includes a broken promise made to the residents of Washington State.

Mar 15, 2012 by

Rob McKenna has been promising for nearly a year that he will increase education funding for our schools and universities. But, on March 5th, he reversed course, praising a GOP budget that would cut education funding by $74 million. McKenna is not who he says he is. His empty promises cannot be trusted.

Highlighting the differences between Jay Inslee and Rob McKenna.

Support Jay Inslee for Governor NOT those who represent the  Tea Party

The Choice is Clear …


If you want this to happen again:

Or this:

Then we need to get more Democrats elected here:

And it starts with electing this Police chief:

This astronaut:

This doctor:

And a bunch of other great Democratic candidates for Congress:

But we’re being outspent by these guys:

And this guy isn’t going to go down without a fight:

So we need you to give us $3 or whatever you can:

So on November 6th we can all:

Let’s go win this thing. Donate $3 today.
Thanks,

Time to Contribute $$ Democratic Party : Future and next Generation


I am writing to you not knowing what side of the political table you sit at hoping some of you will be voting for Barack Obama for a 2nd term. If not, so be it. I want you to know that I am asking you to Contribute $$ to the Democratic Party if you have not already and consider what our democracy will be move toward with a Romney/Ryan ticket. We have 28days before Nov.6, some of our fellow Americans participating in early voting as we speak. In some parts of the Country, Voter Suppression is rearing its ugly head and is beyond disheartening because voting is the voice of “we the people” is being stomped on by voter intimiation . I do not usually ask for money but given what Mr. Romney and Paul Ryan are offering equality in all its forms is at risk.   So, I am formally asking for a Contribution to help the Democratic Party continue what we aspired and started in 2008 and was ignored by the Republican party who met the same night Barack was sworn in. Some in the Republican Party stated compromise was a dirty word while others turned toward race and fear in 2010; it was the turning point. The extreme right gained control and exacted out record numbers of filibustering as well as obstructing major legislation that would have shortened our recession.

If, you are so inclined to donate and vote for Barack Obama to fight against the unlimited money taking over politics at http://Barackobama.com

I support Obama because he represents the bold and drastic changes we need NOW action not the lip service we received from the last administration. The President of the United States knows and understands we need to pay attention to our debt deficit, our environment, that we need to narrow the gap between the haves and have none and we all know we need better health-care.

Last, our future is our children and that means better educational opportunities… but that is at risk with the Romney and Ryan plan or road to posterity

Thank you for your time
