Join Campaign for Liberty

Why should you get involved?

Washington State Campaign for Liberty is incorporated as a 501c4, which allows us to take a much more proactive -- and independent--approach in our state. We have already experienced some great success with campaigns on Audit the Fed, getting tax issues on the ballot, stopping automatic red light cameras, and more.

 

What can you do? 

  • Become a C4L Local Coordinator - Take ownership of the Campaign for Liberty and its place in politics by paying your annual dues. Then, become a local coordinator. This crucial step allows for you to receive grassroots training; which provides an opportunity to understand your local political landscape while teaching you how to win. This is accessible through the dashboard of all local coordinators.
  •  Attend Meetings - Attend local political parties, school boards, water boards, city/town councils, etc... . Place your meeting's information on your county calendar on this website and let us know about it.
  • Be professional and respectful - What you say or do as a representative of Campaign for Liberty is a reflection of the organization.
  • Get the local C4L members to attend with you - Be successful in encouraging C4L members and friends to attend your meeting. Begin by attending yourself and reporting back to C4L with a blog. Blogs are read by a lot of people and your encouraging words will persuade others to do the same. Email and call to remind members about meeting time and place
  • Get to know your local issues - Recognize the leaders in the room, and get to know them on a personal level through personal conversation. Recognize local issues that you have in common, like taxes, property rights, civil liberties, water issues, etc., and develop alliances with members
  • Organize political activities around local issues - Be a leader and organize political activities around these common local issues . Walk your local streets with informational flyers, about these local issues, have informational booths at farmer's markets and community events. Report back your success to the members of your meetings, write a blog and tell C4L about it. If you are active in a political party work for it, find those issues and candidates that your can agree with and focus your political activities on them. You will earn the respect and trust of the established local party leadership for your organizing. Work harder then anyone.
  • Influence your local governance - Be your local political activists for the cause of Liberty. When there are local issues, be known as the group that is willing to hit the streets and make a real difference. When ever there is an issue of importance, let the local establishment know that there will be local grassroots organizing. With a few local victories, you will have successfully influenced your local governance. With influencing local politics, you have established yourself as a local leader, your neighbors and friends will expect you to have information about local issues. You will be expected to lead. You are now a political leader. This is the key. Should you become the precinct walkers and political activists of your local party, you will have real influence on party politics. The local party can only mobilize on issues that are in alignment with you and Liberty.
  • A true leader makes more leaders - Encourage others to do the same. Find the other "go getters" and encourage them to organize in their local districts. Compare notes with them, on what works and what doesn't work. Learn from each others mistakes to build and forge stronger relationships.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Pierce County Republicans Reject New Public Taxes for Private Charities

Puyallup, WA, Saturday June 11th, 2011 - The Pierce County Republican Party on Saturday adopted a resolution, drafted by members of the Washington State Campaign for Liberty, opposing a new property tax measure recently proposed by the Pierce County Council. The tax measure would increase property taxes in order to raise funds for the United Way.

"The resolution in opposition of the new proposed tax received nearly unanimous support," said Pete Chamberlain, Washington State Campaign for Liberty's Region 6 Coordinator. "Sentiment among Pierce County Republicans clearly echoes the remarks of the vast majority of Pierce County residents who spoke on the issue."

The Council's tax measure, R2011-60, was introduced by Republicans Dick Muri and Stan Flemming, and Tim Farrell, a Democrat. Supported by the Pierce County United Way and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce, the proposal would levy a property tax increase and direct the tax funds to the United Way.

Jon Higley, District Leader of the 27th District Republicans and recent candidate for the Washington State legislature, introduced the resolution opposing the new tax at a Republican central committee meeting. The purpose of the resolution was twofold: to alert Republican members of the Pierce County Council that their party specifically opposes the proposed tax measure and that they categorically oppose the use of property taxes to fund private charities.

According to Chamberlain, his conversations with council aides revealed a massive outcry of public opposition. "One councilmember's aide disclosed that their office had received many calls about the new tax measure and only one caller actually supported the proposed tax." Chamberlain said, "Apparently the tax increase proposal has been tabled in response to the outrage."

The Republican resolution characterized the tax proposal as "an abuse of the power to levy taxes on property." Among reasons to oppose it were concerns about it setting a "dangerous precedent" of funding charities with property taxes, as well as the belief that charitable giving should be voluntary as opposed to being enforced by law. The resolution also expressed concerns about public oversight of property tax dollars and how they might be spent by private organizations.

Chamberlain said he had not yet received an official statement from the Pierce County Democrats but, after communication with the county chairman, expected their members to have similar concerns about the tax proposal.

"No matter the disaster or crisis, Americans have repeatedly proven to be among the most generous people on earth. The idea that politicians are attempting to use the power of government to tax Pierce county residents - the penalty for those that cannot or will not pay being eviction from their homes - all to fund a private charity, is repugnant," said Chamberlain. "Elected officials at the national, state and especially the local level must do what's right, not what they think will buy votes."

Washington State Campaign for Liberty is a non-profit, non-partisan political organization, whose mission is to promote and defend the great American principles of individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a constitutional foreign policy, by means of educational and political activity.

We filled the hearing room in Olympia yesterday to speak out against traffic cameras. We didn’t show up just to complain, but came bearing a solution.

Washington State Campaign for Liberty wrote language for a bill repealing the state law that allows Automated Ticketing Machines – or as the politicians like to call them, “traffic safety cameras”. We identified a bill sponsor in the State House, and have begun recruiting co-sponsors.

The bill is HB 1823 – “Repealing the authorization for automated traffic safety cameras.”

Here’s an opportunity where you can make an immediate difference.

Call / email / fax your State House Representatives today and urge them to co-sponsor HB 1823 repealing Automated Ticketing Machines.

The deadline for co-sponsorship will be Thursday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm.

Look up your representative’s contact information here.

Consider writing something like this:

“There is a bill being circulated regarding the repeal of state laws that allow the use of traffic cameras – HB 1823. As a voter in your district, please know that I and many of my neighbors support this legislation.

Many studies reveal that traffic cameras actually reduce safety. I certainly support ways to make our streets safer but there are engineered methods that are effective, Automated Ticketing Machines are not.

I strongly encourage your support of this bill. Please consider co-sponsorship of HB 1823, the deadline is Thursday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm.”

The way bill introduction works in Washington State, co-sponsors can only be added for a limited time after the bill’s official introduction. The cutoff to co-sponsor will be Thursday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm.

Many legislators – from both parties – have signed on already:

  • Rep. McCune – 2nd LD
  • Rep. Shea – 4th LD
  • Rep. Crouse – 4th LD
  • Rep. Rodne – 5th LD
  • Rep. Kretz – 7th LD
  • Rep. Short – 7th LD
  • Rep. Haler – 8th LD
  • Rep. Schmick – 9th LD
  • Rep. Condotta – 12th LD
  • Rep. Johnson – 14th LD
  • Rep. Taylor – 15th LD
  • Rep. Walsh – 16th LD
  • Rep. Orcutt – 18th LD
  • Rep. Blake – 19th LD
  • Rep. Liias – 21st LD
  • Rep. Zeiger – 25th LD
  • Rep. Dammeier – 25th LD
  • Rep. Green – 28th LD
  • Rep. Kirby – 29th LD
  • Rep. Miloscia – 30th LD
  • Rep. Hurst – 31st LD
  • Rep. Upthegrove – 33rd LD
  • Rep. Haigh – 35th LD
  • Rep. Morris – 40th LD – PRIME SPONSOR
  • Rep. Overstreet – 42nd LD
  • Rep. Goodman – 45th LD

It’s important to act quickly!

There have been bills introduced this year modifying the law allowing Automated Ticketing Machines. The bills tinker with requiring mandatory study periods, lengthening the “yellow change interval” at intersections, etc.

These are prime examples of trying to make a bad law into a law that is “less bad”. The tinkering bills would make the law worse than it already is!

If there is a bad law on the books, the right thing to do is to repeal the law.

Support HB 1823 that simply repeals Automated Ticketing Machines.

Contact your representative today!

Traffic Cameras = Automated Ticketing Machines

They are popping up across the country at intersections near you. Traffic cameras are marketed as a safety solution and a cost-saving measure for cash-strapped municipalities…unfortunately the truth is far more sinister.

ATMs Don’t Solve Problems, They Create Them

Did you know that traffic cameras actually increase accidents at intersections? That they routinely issue tickets for false positives to those making legal right-on-red turns?

How about the companies that push the cameras, did you know they are for-profit companies? That they have revenue-sharing agreements with the cities that host the cameras? It’s a built in incentive – for both the company and the municipality – to maximize the number of tickets issued.

If those problems weren’t bad enough, think about how they shift the burden from presumed innocence, to presumed guilt even when it’s widely known that drivers are routinely misidentified or ticketed due to an equipment malfunction. There are a host of liberty issues: invasion of privacy, denial of due process, and financial conflicts of interest to name a few.

Traffic cameras are about revenue. Make no mistake about it, local politicians may tell you ATMs are about safety, but Automated Ticketing Machines represent considerable cash flow to municipalities who, instead of cutting budgets, are casting about for more ways to get their hands in your pockets.

What Are We Doing About ATMs?

The legislative season is in full swing.  One of the top issues we are working on this year is getting rid of invasive Automated Ticketing Machines. On this issue we have opened up two fronts.

Local Initiatives

Washington State Campaign for Liberty has partnered with liberty-minded groups around the state to turn back the tide in four cities: Bellingham, Longview, Monroe and Wenatchee.

Washington State Campaign for Liberty, BanCams, and VotersWantMoreChoices are involved in all four cities in conjunction with:

  • Transportation Safety Coalition – Bellingham
  • Seeds of Liberty – Monroe
  • We the People – Wenatchee
  • Mike Wallin and Joshua Sutinen – Longview.

In each of these cities the legislative body – the city council – has decided they will put the safety of their citizens at risk for a revenue stream by installing Automated Ticketing Machines.

If you live in – or near – any of these cities, here is your chance to help make a statement. Print a petition and get registered voters in the city to sign the petition and return them to the address on the petition.

A Legislative Solution

We appreciate the unique opportunities the initiative process provides Washington State citizens. However, we generally favor more comprehensive legislative reform efforts. As the political police, it’s our job to hold our elected officials accountable.

There are several bills introduced in the state legislature this year modifying provisions of the law that allow traffic cameras – requiring mandatory study periods, lengthening the “yellow change interval” at intersections, etc.

These are prime examples of trying to make a bad law into a law that is less bad. In some cases, the proposed legislation makes sections of the law actually worse than it already is!

It’s easy to fall into the trap of supporting this kind of legislation in the spirit of moving closer to our eventual goal. However, if there is a bad law on the books, the right thing to do is to repeal the law.

To that end, Washington State Campaign for Liberty has drafted language for a bill that completely removes the authority for the use of Automated Ticketing Machines. Look for our letter coming soon with confirmation of its introduction!

It’s Monday, January 10th, do you know where your wallet is?

You’d better get a tight grip on it. Today was the first day of the Washington State legislative session.

Gregoire Ignoring the Will of the People?

Last week, our fearless Governor proclaimed,“I’m not gonna let 1053 stand in the way of me moving forward for what I think is right.”

Do you, like me, wonder what she means by that?

Initiative I-1053 was, as you recall, the reinstatement of the thrice-ignored voter-approved measure which states “legislative actions raising taxes must be approved by two-thirds legislative majorities or receive voter approval, and that new or increased fees require majority legislative approval.”

It appears Governor Gregoire wants to shove another bloated budget down the throats of the taxpayer, washed down with a healthy dose of bureaucratic fees – regardless of the overwhelming message sent by the voters!

Will Our Representatives Go Along With This?

Will they have the backbone to represent the over-taxed and over-regulated citizens of Washington State?

Did you know, according to a state legislative office, our current state budget spends almost $1300.00 more per person than the State of California? That’s absolutely unsustainable!

Our legislators are facing billions (yes, that’s billions with a big “B”) in revenue shortfalls. And, of course, we know that “revenue” is the polite political term for your hard earned tax dollars.

Even worse, those billions in shortfalls are completely separate from the billions of unfunded liabilities our representatives in the legislature have passed down over the years!

Brace Yourself for the Scare Tactics

What’s a politician to do? Make as many painful cuts in the budget as they can in an attempt to scare you, the taxpayer, into letting them off the hook with higher taxes and fees.

Here’s an example from the Office of Financial Management, on the Governor’s 2011-2013 proposed budget:

“Deep cuts are made across all areas of state government. The most significant of these include:

  • Elimination of the Basic Health Plan, which now offers subsidized health insurance to 66,000 low-income individuals. This saves $230 million in state funds and $117 million in federal funds.
  • Elimination of the Disability Lifeline grant for the temporarily unemployable, which serves 28,000 individuals each month, and the Disability Lifeline Medical Program, which serves 21,000 clients each year who have a temporary disability and are unable to work. This saves $327 million.
  • Suspension of the Student Achievement Program under Initiative 728, which provides smaller class sizes, extended learning time for students and professional development for teachers. This saves $860 million.
  • Suspension of employee salary increases under Initiative 732 for K-12 and higher education teachers and other employees. This saves $280 million.
  • Elimination of K-4 class-size reduction funds provided to school districts that exceed the state’s basic education allocation. This saves $216 million.
  • Reduction of 3 percent in compensation for state employees. This saves $176 million in state funds and $269 million in all funds.
  • Elimination of state general fund dollars for State Parks. This saves $47 million.
  • Closing McNeil Island Corrections Center by April 2011. This saves $17.6 million.”

Tune Up Your Political Polygraph

We will surely hear more in the coming weeks and months about how all of the stuff that’s easy to cut has already been pared out of the budget and now we’re “down to the tough choices”.

It’s true, for the political class, the budget binge that bought ballots in prior years, bringing us to this uncomfortable reality was surely much more pleasurable than the inevitable budget purge they face today.

It’s up to liberty activists like you to see through the ploys that legislators may use. We must recondition our legislators to understand that they can’t buy votes with a bloated budget, but they sure can spend their way out of widespread support.

Gear Up For Focused Action!

As the legislative season unfolds, we’ll be tracking some critical bills. From time to time, we may be able to stop a bad bill by contacting individual legislators . It’s interesting how differently legislators can act when they know the folks in their district are “playing along at home.”
Now’s the time to help make sure we can get critical information to you. Are you willing to:

Use this form today to raise your hand so we can let you know when your strategically timed phone call, letter, or email to your representative could help us win victories for liberty!

Don’t we have enough laws already?

The tax code is impossibly complicated. It is entirely possible to break laws unintentionally. Enforcement is inconsistent – some very important laws are ignored, while other revenue-generating laws are enforced to the letter.

Patriots believe that we should simply roll back bad legislation of prior years, or remove complicated provisions to condense and simplify the laws of the land.

But…at the state level, our friends in Olympia are already lining up dozens of new laws and additions to old laws to be considered in the upcoming legislative season – before the session has even started!

Beginning in December prior to a new session, legislators are allowed to “prefile” legislation for consideration during the upcoming session.

Do these prefiled bills sound worthwhile to you?

  • “Concerning beer and wine tasting at farmers markets”
  • “Establishing energy efficiency standards for consumer products”
  • “Creating a Washington state ferries commission”
  • “Adding to the scenic and recreational highway system”
  • “Protecting consumers by assuring persons using the title of social worker have graduated with a degree in social work from an educational program accredited by the council on social work education”

Sausage and Legislation

Is the punchline to the old joke, “What are two things you don’t want to watch being made?”

And yet, watching is exactly what must be done! If the citizens do not pay attention to what our legislators are doing, politicians are free to propose and pass all manner of laws – from the harmful and liberty-encroaching, to the downright silly and time-wasting.

Washington State Campaign for Liberty urges you to join us in holding politicians accountable. With your support, we can keep an eye out for legislative shenanigans.

When we find liberty-encroaching legislation, we’ll need your help to put the politicians on notice!
I know we can count on you, the patriots of Washington State.

A Question of Legislative Philosophy

It seems that today’s political class is more concerned with “getting things done” so they can get re-elected rather than getting things done RIGHT.

Far too many politicians are willing to “reach across the aisle” and attempt to make a bad law “less bad” than to do the right thing and repeal the bad law.
