Wish I could join you ... I'll be there in spirit. It's so sad to see my home state continue down a road full of bullshit liberal policies. Not only have they tried their best to push out every successful corporation that called WA home, it seems they are slowly picking away at those special things that make the Northwest what it is. They try their best to alienate anyone who lives outside of the Olympia-Tacoma-Seattle area. If they ever left their idealistic world surrounded by patchouli covered losers, they might notice that most of the state is full of hard working people who value their freedom and respect the freedom of their neighbors.
The wheat farmer in the Palouse, for example, will be affected by this bullshit, and more than likely won't have a chance to drive to Olympia to speak his mind. The dirty, long haired kid with a Che t-shirt (fucking walking, talking contradiction...) Evergreen State student will be there, screaming about something he doesn't know shit about.
I hope a million of you guys make it to the public hearing. Although the truth, common sense and Constitutional rights are usually far from the minds of the elected officials, maybe you guys can open some eyes.
Any farmers out there in the Palouse who decide to drive over, I'll foot half the gas bill.
