 Whether or not you choose to shoot is up to you. Just because you have the legal right to shoot someone does not mean you SHOULD pull the trigger. Remember, your problems don't end when you shoot someone; they are justbeginning. If you can get out of the situation without firing a shot, by all means, please do that. But, again, that decision is up to you and based on the circumstances at the time.... |

RE: 2 ballot measures on the November ballot by us -- voters get to vote on the Legislature's 2 tax increases
In 2007, voters passed our Initiative 960. In 2012, voters renewed its
policies by passing our Initiative 1185. One of the
initiatives' protections guarantees the citizens' right to vote on tax
increases unilaterally imposed by the Legislature.
Last Friday, the Attorney General determined that the 2014 Legislature
imposed 2 tax increases. That means there will be 2 measures on the
November ballot: Advisory Vote #8 (AV #8) and Advisory Vote #9 (AV
#9). You can view them here: http://weiapplets.sos.wa.gov/MyVote/onlinevotersguide/Measures?language=en&electionId=54&countyCode=xx&ismyVote=False&electionTitle=2014%20General%20Election
What are the best things about this policy? First and foremost, I-1185's tax advisory votes educate the voters on which taxes were increased and how much they'll cost, allowing the voters' pamphlet to serve as a tax increase report card. Next, they give the voters the chance to tell legislators whether the people
support or oppose each tax increase. And best of all, each tax
advisory vote requires 2 pages in the voters pamphlet listing how each
legislator voted on each tax increase and their contact information.
We wish the Legislature hadn't imposed any tax increases this year. But at least with AV #8 and AV #9, the voters will learn which taxes were increased, how much they'll cost, identify which legislators voted yay and nay, and let the people express their support or opposition to each tax increase.

What is the origin and rationale for this policy? Our state Constitution gives the people the absolute guaranteed right to referendum which means the citizens are allowed to collect voter signatures and put on the ballot any bill that the Legislature passes into law. In short, it gives voters the right to veto any bill. Nonetheless,
the Legislature has mastered the art of negating the people's
constitutional right to referendum by slapping "emergency clauses" on
bills. Emergency clauses make the bills "referendum proof." The most consistent example of this abuse involves bills raising taxes.
It is a gross injustice that the Legislature routinely gets away with
(there was the "emergency" gas tax increase in 2005, the "emergency"
death tax in 2005, the "emergency" soda pop tax in 2010, the "emergency"
candy tax in 2010).
To address this egregious violation of our rights, the voters passed our Initiative 960. Our first experience with I-960's tax advisory votes happened in 2012. The 2012 Legislature imposed 2 tax increases so Advisory Votes #1 and #2 appeared on the November 2012 ballot. 57% of voters rejected the bank tax and 55% of voters rejected the oil company tax.
In 2012, almost 2/3 of voters approved our Initiative 1185 and it renewed this public vote requirement for tax increases.
In 2013, the Legislature imposed 5 tax increases so there were Advisory
Votes #3, #4, #5, #6, and #7 on the November 2013 ballot. Voters
opposed some and narrowly supported others.
In 2014 (this year), the Legislature imposed 2 tax increases. That means there will be 2 measures on the November ballot as a result: Advisory Vote #8 and Advisory Vote #9.
It's a huge victory that voters get to vote on these 2 tax increases.

Defensive Pistol Shooting
I met Owen a couple of years ago at a Pro-2nd Amendment Rally at our State Capital. He got me to join his Meet Up Group, the "South Sound Pistoleros" and has invited me to IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) shooting matches several times. I FINALLY was able to make it to one last Saturday. It turned out to be a "Classifier Match". Rules require contestants to have shot in at least one prior regular match. So, I was not able to shoot but I stayed for the match anyway and enjoyed watching the shooters go through the strings in the three sets of the match. They fired a total of 90 rounds each. It looks like something I would really enjoy. I took some video of the technique used by some of the shooters and will try and post them here.

URGENT ACTION ALERT:
There is no doubt Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS) won the Mississippi
primary run-off by both abandoning the Republican base and by courting
black Democrats with racist lies about Tea Party-supported, conservative
principle-touting candidate State Senator Chris McDaniel.
There is also no doubt that
$250,000 campaign donation to help buy Democrat votes for desperate GOP
six-term Establishment incumbent Thad Cochran, billionaire anti-gun
fanatic former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg ALSO bought himself a
new gun-grabbing ally in the Senate – 'cause that's just how the big
boys roll…
Cochran has already
voted several times WITH Harry Reid when it comes to gun control; he
supported Joe Biden's gun control bill. He has also supported measures
to OVERRIDE STATE LAWS UPHOLDING and PROTECTING our constitutional right
to keep and bear arms.
But NOW you can bank on it. Bought and paid for, Cochran is no longer a "maybe" vote… He is a CERTAIN vote for gun control.
While McDaniel is challenging
Cochran's win on the backs of misinformed and exploited minority
Democrats, we are playing whack-a-mole against the onslaught of
rights-violating measures being falsely promulgated as "common sense"
regulation. These are IN FACT dangerously anti-Second Amendment acts of
legislation whether coming from our States, Capitol Hill OR the United
Nations – and they are FORBIDDEN by our Constitution.
Not-a-smidgen-of-corruption
What Did Barack Not-A-Smidgen-Of-Corruption Obama Know And When Did He Know It?
That's the question we should all be asking. It's clear that someone is stonewalling because emails do not simply disappear from cyberspace. If Lois Lerner, or her subordinates, sent emails to Eric Holder's Department of Justice (DOJ) or the White House, then the DOJ and the White House have those emails; individual hard drive crashes are moot, those emails exist in MULTIPLE places on a broad range of government computers, servers and backups.
And if those emails are truly lost, that simply adds further proof to the contention that a massive conspiracy across multiple government agencies and offices is presently taking place right under our noses... a conspiracy designed to protect certain Obama appointees... a conspiracy designed to protect certain liberal Members of Congress... and a conspiracy designed to protect perhaps even Barack Obama himself.
Don't take our word for it. Brad Jensen, the owner of Electronic Storage Corp and an expert on data storage and recovery says: "There should be multiple backups over time of the emails in question. ... The persons who sent email to Lerner or received emails from her will also be backed up. Basically the court could set up a special master to review thousands of government email accounts collecting emails to and from Lois Lerner. The apparent attempt by the government to hide these emails from Congress and possibly the courts justifies this. ... This is not a lot of work."
Did the Obama White House give the orders to the IRS, and perhaps even Eric Holder's Department of Justice, to pursue conservatives and throw them in jail? ... The answer may be in those emails.
At the very least, we'll likely find obstruction of justice... and we'll likely find out that the destruction of evidence may still be going on at this very moment. Worse, what's contained in those emails could be even more damning than what we already know… Namely, that the IRS engaged in the systematic, illegal and tyrannical abuse of conservatives who oppose the radical agenda of Barack Obama.
James Taranto with the Wall Street Journal writes: "The missing emails could be crucial in determining the degree to which other agencies and politicians directed or cooperated with the IRS's efforts to suppress opposition to President Obama. 'Frankly, these are the critical years of the targeting of conservative groups that could explain who knew what when, and what, if any, coordination there was between agencies,' said [Congressman Dave] Camp. 'Instead, because of this loss of documents, we are conveniently left to believe that Lois Lerner acted alone.'"
National Review Online goes a step further: "We have no doubt that Lois Lerner’s hard drive has in fact been compromised. We'd be shocked if it hadn't been. Goodness knows what else is being done with evidence while Congress proceeds at its customary majestic pace. The question here is not only the crime that has been committed but whether there is a crime in progress."
If evidence is indeed being destroyed and the process of destroying evidence is occurring right now, then the clock is working against us. That's why we need a Select Committee that has broad subpoena power and authority to investigate multiple agencies under one umbrella.

Washington state has lived under for too many years of its history.a pro-life win
June 26, 2014
In a unanimous ruling today, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a
Massachusetts law that limited pro-lifers from talking to people
entering abortion facilities.
Signed in 2007, the law required a 35-foot “buffer zone” around abortion sellers. Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed suit a year later on behalf of a group pro-lifers. The group, many of whom are grandparents, simply want to provide information on abortion alternatives, and offer support to those who want it.
“Americans have the freedom to talk to whomever they please on public sidewalks,” said attorney Mark Rienzi. “The Supreme Court has affirmed a critical freedom that has been an essential part of American life since the nation’s founding.”
ADF petitioned the Supreme Court to hear the case after a federal appeals court upheld a lower court’s ruling in favor of the law.
In today’s ruling, the nation’s high court underscores the pro-lifers’ constitutional rights to share their ideas in public:
“The Court simply reaffirmed that the First Amendment’s protection of peaceful speech and assembly is a cornerstone of this nation,” said the group’s CEO Dr. David Stevens. “Hopefully such decisions will begin to address the alarming growth of coercive assaults on the free speech of anyone deemed not politically correct by the government.”
Andrew Kloster, legal fellow with The Heritage Foundation, agrees. He called today’s decision a win both for pro-life advocates and the First Amendment.
“And yet it is another 9-0 less for the Obama administration, which weighed in on behalf of the State of Massachusetts,” he said. “Further, it puts states on notice that they cannot pass sweeping laws based on narrow justifications — if safety is the concern, pass a law that deals specifically with safety and only with safety. Don’t pass a law that criminalizes the speech of many peaceful innocent protestors. And in those states that seek to burden sidewalk counselors and other pro-life protestors — there’s the next First Amendment lawsuit waiting to be filed.”

It is no accident that public streets and sidewalks have developed as venues for the exchange of ideas. Even today, they remain one of the few places where a speaker can be confident that he is not simply preaching to the choir…. In light of the First Amendment’s purpose “to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail…,” this aspect of traditional public fora is a virtue, not a vice.The Christian Medical Association (CMA) filed a friend-of-the-court brief — along with other faith-based organizations — in support of the pro-lifers.

Wow! They did something RIGHT.
Supreme Court: Obama Violated Constitution
Check it out:
The Supreme Court delivered a blow Thursday to President Obama, ruling that he went too far in making recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board.
In a unanimous decision, the high court sided with Senate Republicans and limited the president’s power to fill high-level vacancies with temporary appointments. It was the first-ever Supreme Court test involving the long-standing practice of presidents naming appointees when the Senate is in recess.
In this case, Obama had argued that the Senate was on an extended holiday break when he filled slots at the NLRB in 2012. He argued the brief sessions it held every three days were a sham that was intended to prevent him from filling the seats.
The justices rejected that argument, though, declaring the Senate was not actually in a formal recess when Obama acted.
Justice Stephen Breyer said in his majority opinion that a congressional break has to last at least 10 days to be considered a recess under the Constitution.
BEWARE - Minnesota !!!
Larry, Right now you'll never guess who is on Air Force One with President Obama..... Al Franken.
Yup. Obama's favorite "puppet" in the Senate is sharing a flight with him on Air Force One to Minnesota where they plan to spread their liberal propaganda together across the state.
You may remember Al Franken. He was elected to the Senate in 2009 after a disputed recount. He won by about 300 votes, "discovered" several months after the actual election. And his vote, cast within a few weeks of his arrival in DC, was the 60th deciding vote to pass Obamacare. Without his vote, Obamacare never would have passed. Now in his first re-election attempt since 2009, Al knows this election will be extremely tough and is trying to line up all of the support he can.
Why will this election be tough for Al? Because MichelePAC is going to be supporting his Republican opponent and making certain Al, and "rubber stamps" to the liberal Obama agenda like him around the country do not get re-elected.
If you agree that we need to turn Minnesota RED and remove Al Franken than I hope you will join me by making an urgent contribution of $15 or more to MichelePAC right now.
Al Franken and Barack Obama are two peas in a Democrat pod. The two of them would love to continue working together in Washington to push through more terrible legislation like Obamacare. And he and Obama plan to pass more liberal legislation like amnesty, gun control, job destroying taxes and regulations, and more. Legislation that will destroy our great country. We together cannot afford this duo making any more decisions that will negatively impact our children and grandchildren's future.
MichelePAC will continue to work around the clock to elect candidates who share our conservative patriotic beliefs, and will replace liberal destructive blowhards like Al Franken. But we can only do so if we have your partnership and support right now. It won't be easy, but we cannot stop the fight to save this beloved country.
Follow this link to make an immediate donation to MichelePAC.
Sincerely,
Michele Bachmann
P.S. It's no surprise that Al Franken wanted Obama's support for his campaign. The two are a match made in Democrat heaven. But now is our time to stand up for our conservative values and make certain that Al Franken is not victorious this fall. His liberal policies and rubber stamp vote for anything Obama puts forward must come to an end. MichelePAC is working to identify federal races across the country like this one and put our money to good use ensuring Republican victories. Please stand with MichelePAC by making an urgent financial contribution of $25, $50, $75 or more right now. Thanks!

The Stealth Of A Government
Written on Thursday, June 26, 2014 by Franklin D. Leupp, Sr.
Education Administration mandating sexual deviancy in our schools; demanding individuals and companies to pay for government insurance that violates their very consciences against murder (abortion). Arming every federal agency with enough firepower to equal our standing Army is a red flag that should be recognized by every one that this administration is up to no good. Awarding FEMA contracts to house and feed the millions of alien children without their parents who are actually invited to cross our southern border, instead of securing it as all other countries do, is one of President Obama’s latest tactics to throw beds of spikes across the Republicans’ highway.
While the House wrestles with Benghazi, Fast and Furious, IRS scandal, Eric Holder’s Justice Department’s refusal to enforce laws enacted by Congress, our seventeen trillion dollar debt … do we need more examples of malfeasance in office before the treason of this administration is recognized?
I am not one to yell FIRE in a theater, but anyone with ears to hear and eyes to see should be able to recognize that the move toward nationwide use of unmanned drones to monitor every move of small groups of people assembling for any reason at all could be almost the last straw to deny the general population of peaceable assembly and freedom of movement. This is the plan – it has been from the start – from an alleged illegal alien elected as president. All the strategy of this administration has been to keep throwing so many new embers in this conflagration that those who are rightfully elected to govern wander around in confusion and total inability to recognize the arsonist and put out his flame. Beside that, he is utterly protected by a complicit Justice Department and all the other department heads whose leftist philosophies fit snugly in with his own vision of an eviscerated United States, empowered terrorists, funded abortionists, squelched Christians’ freedom of religion … and, again, the list is intended to be endless, until this country
marches into the family of third world shambles.
Day is ending; night is drawing near. It is time for all of us to beware the encroaching evil pressing upon us. Schools used to be honorable institutions of learning; now they are used primarily to indoctrinate children of impressionable minds to accept deviant behavior, Common Core propaganda, encouraged to
reveal all family secrets to the “Third Reich” school “dictators.” This is not a pretty picture. It’s time for those who still love this country to rise to the occasion. Run for office; support honorable candidates; volunteer to spread the message of those who will sacrifice several years of their lives to get this train back on track. At this point, the whole railbed may need rebuilding – there are men and women out there
who would relish the contract. Let’s put feet to the solution.
