Whew! What a session!  We knew it was going to be ugly and we were going to get bruised and battered and the Democrats did not disappoint. It was a bloodbath.  BUT!!! While hundreds of awful bills were passed this session, we made sure they were not able to do it in the dark and we brought pressure they’re not used to having, slowing them down. And we did manage to stop a few bad bills from passing. I’ll be putting together a summary of some the most notable bills that will have the greatest impact on citizens in the near future. I did a short video on Sunday with my “off the ..read more

Governor Jay Inslee purchased 30,000 abortion pills through the Department of Corrections today in advance of a ruling out of Texas that could rescind the FDA approval of abortion pills. This cost the Washington taxpayers $1.8 million. The University of Washington also purchased 10,000 pills to contribute to the “stockpile.” Senator Keiser has sponsored SB 5768 which will allow the administration of the mifepristone supply to providers in the state. This bill has an emergency clause which would make the law take effect immediately upon signing.  “The last year has made i ..read more

Last week’s devastating hate crime against the children and staff at Covenant Christian School in Nashville, TN, was yet another reminder how important it is to ensure the safety of our students and the staff at our schools around the nation. Our hearts are broken after another senseless and preventable school shooting in America.

In the last few years schools across the country, often led by state lawmaking, have defunded their safety resource officers (SRO), removing them from s ..read more

*By Julie Barrett, Founder, Conservative Ladies of Washington In Washington state, like many other states, our legislature currently has a bill that has passed the Senate and is now in the House that would update the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).

Since it’s passing, concerned citizens have been sounding the alarm after the veto by Governor Kristi Noem of a similar bill passed in South Dakota. The concern is not without merit. The bill, on its own, may not seem to b ..read more

I had no idea how I was going to manage caring for and providing for these children on my own, but I was determined to figure it out. Over the ne ..read more
