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.

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?
