Protect Our Beautiful Washington - No on I933

This past week, I went to a meeting in Bellingham to discuss organizing a local No on 933 campaign. That's the initiative that would undo State and Local Land-Use regulations and force tax-payers to 'compensate' Land Developers or let them do whatever they damn well please (What I like to call 'Pay or Pave').

At times it's plain old tiring... We beat back one deceitful Right-wing power-play just in time to start fighting another treacherous Right-wing plot.

Sometimes I need to take a minute to remember what I'm fighting for.
One of those things is preserving some of Washington's bio-diversity and beautiful natural environment.
