<p>You guys need to define a publishing style guide, address your graphics (nice header idea though) and re-read what you are writing before you post it.  Otherwise good to see someone take the initiative.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m hearing a rumor that republicans are trying to get rid of the &#8220;majority rules&#8221; with regard to senate votes on bills, issues, etc.  They want to slide in something that requires a &#8220;60% majority&#8221; rule that would make it impossible for democrats to make any advances on anything.  Is there any truth to this and if so, what are we going to do about it?</p>

<p>This is what Democrats are all about &#8211;Get us out of Iraq, and don&#8217;t jam another war down our craws because Iran is threatening the development of nuclear (say new-clear if you can&#8217;t pronounce it) weapons. There has been enough killing. There has been enough uprooting peaceful people to feed a militant, arrogant, zealous, fanatical religiosity. We know who the bad boys are&#8230;put the Predators to work, and lets go after them. Once they are eliminated, the pulses will slow, and the civil war will be a non-mentionable. We must stop this Iraq insanity, and I ask once more&#8211;how can a nation of 295 million diverse Americans be led into a bloodbath such as what Iraq has become?  If we do not fix Iraq, the war mentality will spread throughout the entire Middle East. Look at what you started King George&#8230;we are exhausted&#8230;we are tired of paying your taxes&#8211;which will be inherited by our grandchildren. YOU inherited a balanced budget and a surplus from your predecessor&#8211;you squandered it all and caused the loss of our international friends. YOU must go.   Watada is right, you started all this with lies. Lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction, aluminum tubes, Yellow Cake, Mission Accomplished, Valerie Plame. You caused a great American to lie to the United Nations. And never forget, George&#8230;the towers fell on your watch. My unofficial countdown says one year, nine month and nine days to go&#8211;unless you are impeached first.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s great to see someone doing this. </p>
<p>I do have one suggestion, provide full RSS feeds. It might cost you a few hits on your site, initially, but it&#8217;ll help it grown in the long term. I reluctantly began offering full feeds a couple of years ago and haven&#8217;t regretted it since</p>

<p>House Bill 1303 (The Clean Air - Clean Fuels bill).</p>
<p>This bill would position the 14th legislative district (and all of Washington farm country) to benefit from the emerging renewable energy technologies. As such, it seems to me that this is one of the most significant economic development measures ever proposed to benefit the 14th district.</p>
<p>Yet 14th District Representatives Skinner and Ross both voted &#8220;no&#8221; March 10, 2007. What&#8217;s up with that?</p>

<strong>Comment</strong> from <strong>Protests are a waste of time</strong>
<br />
<strong>Time:</strong> March 21, 2007, 8:27 pm</p>
<p>Im reading about the protests of the Iraq war. why do you people protest? It doesnt work!! All it does is make us conservatives disrespect you even more&#8230;..You think I respect you? Sure you have the right to protest but do you really think that people gives a rats ass? I dont think they do&#8230;So, maybe instead of protesting and crying and whining about the war, which by the way I dont like the war either, but I support the troops and support our president, so, maybe instead of crying and whining about it, maybe spend your time doing something else, like hugging that tree&#8230;</p>

<p>I have to agree with you that hugging trees probably makes more sense than war. And it also should be noted that a troop of Girl Scouts in Burqas could have taken out Saddam Hussein without all that bombing. But, now that all of that is done, why are we still there?  What is our reason for being? You will probably agree that our presence there is the reason for all the insurgency. And You, yes You, suggest that we protesteth too much.  Well, let me give you some reasons to protest. 1. It is an American right. We earned it, and it is built into our Constitution. YOU suggest that it does little good, and perhaps that is so but there are some very good reasons to protest. 2. It expresses an American message that allows others to think in the same direction. People come to us all the time and say,&#8221;I am so glad you are protesting the war.&#8221; 3. It sends a message to all peace-loving people. I sense that you are a peace lover too, but you just haven&#8217;t found your true will yet. You are not alone, we run up against barricades all the time, like having to post a million-dollar  bond to meet peacefully in a park. We were so determined that we would have found a way to post that bond, if there had not been an alternate way to march in protest without meeting in the park&#8211;although we did meet there for a few minutes at the end of our peace march. Civil disobedience, you know. Finally we meet and protest because it seems to be the right thing to do. We are a great deal just like you, except that you seem to be indifferent to human suffering. We are not.</p>
