Meet up in Ferndale

Well what a great time we had today talking and listening with Democratic Senate Candidate Mark Wilson!!!!

i loved Maria Cantwell's environmental votes and when she stood up to terrible ted. i still haven't gotten over her vote for cloture on alito. after her votes on trade, unpatriot act x2, the frigging war, negroponte, rice, and more, i just lost all faith. i have heard everything from: i will vote for the republican candidate(Thom Hartmann interview with Mark) to i'll never vote for Maria, to how dare you go against our incumbant candidate. i respect everyone's opinion. people who are paying attention are mostly a passionate bunch and these are very difficult times. i will support her if she is the Democratic candidate in the general election.

thankfully i have another option in the primary and a damn good one. i've heard Mark 3 times in person now and each time i am more impressed with him. he spoke directly to the issues that i am most concerned about. publically funded campaigns and publically owned vote, ending the war and war foreign policy, peak oil and the coming need to reorganize how we live, global warming, healthcare, veterans issues, ending the war on drugs and funding recovery for those afflicted ...and the list goes on.

the disasterous neocon ideology has been playing out since the 1980's and it's time to stand up. absolute power corrupts absolutely and the state of our nation is rotten to the core. the American people are good people and we are being criminally represented by the current one party rule. at least 50% of us have no voice and it's magnified when our Democrats vote with them, too!.

i want leaders who will stand up and tell the truth and vote for policies that put America in good standing in the world community and ensure those that come after us have a home.
