Shift update

Team – The election is just two weeks from now and your ballot should arrive in your mailbox no later than today. Please make sure to return it as soon as possible! Speaking of your mailbox, if it’s anything like ours, it’s crammed with mail pieces for candidates and various state and local ballot measures. If you live in a district with a competitive legislative race, you are no doubt seeing some nasty, vile “hit pieces” from liberal PACs smearing conservative candidates. Please do take a moment to scan or take a photo of them before they're thrown in the recycle bin and send it to us at info@shiftwa.org. We sent you a message mid-week last week with links to our election coverage so far. There will be many, many more stories over the next few weeks. Make sure to watch “The Racetrack” on our website for the latest election coverage. In addition, SHIFT is on “The Commute with Carlson” on AM 570 KVI each morning at 6:30am with our “Outrage of the Day” regarding the election. Many of these come from the mailers, flyers and other reports sent in by readers like you. Be sure to tune in to hear the latest each morning. With your help, we’re spreading the word both online and now on the radio about the desperate lies that liberals are telling. If you appreciate our efforts and support our mission, please consider making a contribution of $3 or more right now. Without further ado, below are our most shared stories of last week. – Matthew, Josh and the rest of the SHIFT WA Team     Socialist Party demands $20/hr minimum wage, pays $13/hr   Often it seems as though there is no end to the left's hypocrisy.
