If youтАЩre in a state where this hasnтАЩt started to happen yet, be patient! The longer the overreach continues, the stronger the pushback will be. Keep focused, work on your voting integrity issues, and stay local, local, local.

We ARE getting there. Maybe not uniformly, but steadily. And you know what they say about moving slowly and steadily and winning races.
Well, I am in Washington state, one of the worst of the worst. We have had mail in ballots for over a decade and cheating is easy. All the ballot checkers have to do is reject any ballot with the claim that the signature doesn't match. We have a horrible governor and a democratic run state legislature. I worked hard to support Republican candidates in the mid terms to no avail. So, for me going local has failed and it's hard to know how to proceed.
Nevertheless, I really appreciate your words of support, and I will try to keep fighting, even if it is in little ways. I only use cash, I try to talk sanely to everyone I can and I am surely grateful for voices such as the ones on this substack.
I'm in Washington state as well. Fortunately, The Missus and I live in the forests outside Spokane, just a couple miles from the Idaho border. I tell everyone "I can see freedom from my house!"
I, too am less than impressed with our Governor. Here's a post I wrote on my personal blog during lockdowns about our mediocre Guv: "Yes, Governor Jay Inslee Really Is This Stupid".
I was a supporter of hers until last year when she A) voted to send my tax money to Ukraine and B) voted in favor of a national vaccination database, a clear violation of my privacy. Now I'm waiting and hoping for a true conservative to run against her.
Thanks for responding. Did you write to let her know your feelings about the vax? Unless more of us drum this into our representatives, they will assume we don't feel strongly about it. In Seattle itself, there's precious little political choice. The only small glimpse of things changing was the 2021 election of Ann Davison, a former Dem turned Republican due to the Dems "moving too far to the left", though her win was a narrow squeak against a rather extreme 'abolitionist'. Despite that, crime continues to rise and 2022 saw the highest crime rate in 15 years, partly due no doubt to the police dept. losing over 500 officers, thanks to various council members advocating their defunding. As burglaries rise and victims no longer bother reporting them, a tipping point will surely be reached eventually when even staunch Dems feel 'Enough'.
I hear you Sharon. I too live in Washington state. It is so disheartening and frustrating to watch what our governor is doing to this beautiful state. Keep at it, doing what you are doing, as each step forward is progress, even though they are baby steps.
Sharon. Contact pampopper@msn.com to see if there is a MAFA (Make Americans Free Again) group in your area. I found a wide awake church that has been most helpful. Also I attend weekly Ohio Freedom Fighter meetings. Also try: https://m.facebook.com/100064633664098/
Sharon, I'm not sure where in Washington you reside but I am in SW WA. I know that there is a MAFA (Make America Free Again / Pam Popper) group in the Seattle area.
I think they just had a regional meeting recently. It's a little too far for me to attend on a regular basis. But MAFA is doing really great things and is very supportive.
Bernadette Pajer is with this organization. SheтАЩs appeared on CHD TV. I met this lovely woman when I attended CHDтАЩs inaugural meeting in Knoxville this past October.
Sharon- I pray this gives you some calm against this storm. Read what Jeff says about fearing this threat of WW3:

Like the Malones substack, Jeff Childers is one of my favorites.
Thank you, Laura, reading that was quite helpful.
My favorite part from C&C:

I've found that no matter how bad things get, there's always something to laugh at.
What do you think of Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a GOP member of Congress from your area?
I was a supporter of hers until last year when she A) voted to send my tax money to Ukraine and B) voted in favor of a national vaccination database, a clear violation of my privacy. Now I'm waiting and hoping for a true conservative to run against her.

You are very welcome Sharon. Prayers for you. ЁЯЩП
Jeff writes every day. He is a calm voice in the storm. And he is VERY funny too.

Thanks, I'm in Gig Harbor, and will check this out.

Thanks for the link, it looks promising.
