The date is set for our Lincoln Day Dinner, please mark your calendars for Friday, March 30. We're holding it on a Friday evening instead of Saturday (in consideration of scheduling of other counties' LDDs and speakers) but the location is the same: the Willapa Harbor Community Center in South Bend. Further information on speakers will be announced soon.

September 4th was a beautiful sunny day in South Bend, perfect weather for Republicans to walk in the annual Labor Day Parade. We had a good turnout of volunteers, with many accompanying our 2012 County Commissioner candidate Scott McDougall a few entries back.

Thanks again to all the county Republicans that helped staff the fair booth this year! We had some great conversations with many county voters, who appear more than ready to enact a change in leadership in Olympia and Washington DC come November 2012. The Straw Poll was a big hit, and while Gov. Perry won it going away with 43%, the general consensus seemed to be "Any of them would be better than the President we have now!" |

Saturday August 6th saw the Chairman and the parade SportTrac in Raymond for the annual parade. Joining in the candy distribution duties were Republican of the Year Michael Turner, 2012 County Commissioner candidate Scott McDougall, Glenn Ripley and Gordon Crump. This year we not only scored a position near the front (#12 instead of being back in the pack around #40) but we were also several spots ahead of the Democrats. Sweet!

Friends and supporters of Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler will honor the freshman Legislator back in Washington State for the August break. On Thursday, August 11 th Herrera Beutler will be traveling to the Pacific County for a special reception held in Seaview at the Malin residence at 3715 L Place.
Herrera Beutler was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010, representing Southwest Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. Jaime serves on the Small Business Committee and three Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittees: Water Resources and Environment, Highways and Transit, and Pipelines and Hazardous Materials. Despite her status as a first-term Member of Congress, Jaime holds a position of leadership as Subcommittee Vice Chair of Water Resources and Environment.
“We are eager to support Herrera Beutler so that she can continue working for lower taxes, creating more private sector jobs, and reducing our national debt”, Brett Malin, Pacific County Republican Chair says. “We welcome all of Herrera Beutler’s supporters, including Republicans, Democrats and Independents to bring a potluck dish and join us at 6pm.” For more information, contact Brett at 642-2444. |

With the belated arrival of summertime weather, June has been a busy month - time to catch up on the yardwork.
The June 2nd PCRP meeting at the Webber residence went well, with Scott McDougall sharing his experiences at the Jennifer Dunn Leadership Institute.
Nansen and I just returned from the Right Online conference in Minneapolis. Hosted by AFP, it was attended by 1500 conservative activists and bloggers from across the nation. I got a chance to meet some of my favorite bloggers from Red State and Hot Air, listen to nationally known pundits like Michelle Malkin and Andrew Breitbart, and hear speeches by presidential candidates Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain and Tim Pawlenty. Attendees also were treated to an advance screening of the new documentary about Sarah Palin, "The Undefeated". Nansen gave several seminars on the use of social media in political activism, and ran the Blogger's Row for AFP.
I hope you're all looking forward to the 4th of July, it's certainly my favorite holiday. Due to scheduling conflicts, we won't be participating in the Ocean Park Parade this year, but plans are underway to enter the Raymond (Aug 6) and South Bend (Sept 4) parades. The Pacific County Fair is just around the corner (Aug 24-27), we'll be looking for volunteers to help man the booth!
July's PCRP meeting is in the south county this month, at our residence here in Seaview again (3715 L Place) at 6:00 pm on July 7th. We'll be coordinating the summer's activities, so we hope you can attend.
August's meeting in the north county is already arranged for August 4th at 6:00 pm at the McDougall residence (1602 W. Water St.) |

The first of our resumed monthly meetings went well; we had a small group of Republicans show up here in Seaview. Our next meeting will be held in South Bend/Raymond on Thursday, June 2nd, at a location to be announced. I’ll finalize arrangements and send out the announcement next Monday.
This weekend is the Washington State Republican Committee meeting, held in Spokane. Nansen (she has Jack Smith’s proxy) and I will be making the long drive there. Among other things on the agenda will be the election to fill a vacancy at Vice Chair.
The redistricting process continues; meetings to collect public comment have been announced. The first redistricting public forums are scheduled to occur within the next few weeks at the following locations:
- Aberdeen: Tuesday, May 17, Grays Harbor College HUB, 1620 Edward P. Smith Drive
- Olympia: Wednesday, May 18, John A. Cherberg Building, 304 15thAve., Senate Hearing
Room 1
- Vancouver: Thursday, May 19, Hilton Vancouver Hotel, 301 West 6th St, Discovery Ballroom ABC
- Renton: Monday, May 23, Renton, Renton Technical College cafeteria, 3000 NE 4thSt.
- Bellevue: Tuesday, May 24, Red Lion Hotel Bellevue, Evergreen Point Room, 11211 Main St.
- Everett: Wednesday, May 25, Everett Community College, Jackson Conference Center, 2000 Tower St.
All forums begin at 6 p.m. with an open house and presentations. Public comment will be heard from 7 to 9 p.m.
While Pacific County is not a likely candidate to be moved from the State’s 19th Legislative District, there is an outside chance that we could find ourselves moved from the 3rd Congressional District to the 6th (currently held by Democrat Rep. Norm Dicks). We would encourage you to attend one of the meetings, if you can, to give your opinion as a citizen concerned that Pacific County remains in a District that best reflects the County’s unique cultural and economic identity.
Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler's staff will be hosting a Mobile Office in Seaview next week. It doesn't appear to have gotten into the Chinook Observer, so I thought that I'd get the notice out in case anyone would like to stop in to share your questions or concerns with them. Or maybe just pop in and say "Hi" and bring them some cookies!
Herrera Beutler Staff Mobile District Office Hours for May 25
Residents of Southwest Washington’s 3rd Congressional District will be able to meet with staff from Herrera Beutler’s office during Mobile Office Hours to seek assistance with federal agencies.
These mobile office hours are now viewable on Herrera Beutler’s website at herrerabeutler.house.gov/Contact/MobileOffice.

With the major endeavor of the Lincoln Day Dinner behind us, we’re now able to return to our regular routine of PCRP committee meetings. I have decided to commit to a monthly schedule, alternating between North and South county, on the first Thursday of each month. Next month’s meeting will be on May 5th at 6:00 pm, at our home here at 3715 L Place in Seaview. We’ll supply the coffee and donuts. (Or since it's Cinco de Mayo, maybe some margaritas?)
Future meeting locations are still to be determined. In the past, meeting in a restaurant has been less than satisfactory, and the availability of meeting rooms is very limited, so I am hoping we can get some of our members to volunteer to hold an occasional meeting in their home. Regular monthly meetings have traditionally had attendance of only a dozen or less people, so not a lot of room is required. All Republicans, as well as Central Committee members, are encouraged to attend. Official Party business is usually limited, so there will be plenty of opportunity to discuss current issues and strategies to expand our message.

“Hello, I’m Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, and I have the great privilege of serving Washington State’s Third Congressional District.
“I’d just like to begin by saying, on behalf of the people I represent, that we are thinking of the people of Japan and praying for them as they continue to deal with the devastation following last week’s earthquake and tsunami.
“I’ve only been in Congress about two months now, and I like to think about my job as a tale of two Washingtons. In the hard-working communities of southwest Washington state, families are scraping to save more than they spend as they cope with double-digit unemployment, rising costs of gas and health care, and other challenges. Small business owners are working hard to stay afloat while struggling with fear and uncertainty over what new regulation or tax hike the government’s going to hand down to them next.
“Meanwhile, here in Washington, D.C., the powers-that-be have enlisted an ‘army of lobbyists’ to try and block even the modest efforts to address our $14 trillion debt. They’re also throwing a wrench into the gears of job creation with regulation after regulation that, just by entering the pipeline, breed more fear and uncertainty. As a result, our economy isn’t producing enough jobs. It’s struggling.
“I was sent here to get this Washington, with all its overspending and overregulation, out of the way, so the country we know and love can thrive and prosper.
“Right now, the new House majority is hard at work on eliminating regulatory barriers to job creation. Earlier this month, the House voted to repeal the 1099 mandate in ObamaCare that will hamstring small businesses. Soon, we will vote to stop the EPA’s backdoor national energy tax that would drive up gas prices. And we’re holding hearings on the REINS Act, common-sense reforms that give the people’s Congress a say before the government tries to implement any costly, job-crushing regulations.
“We’re also working to cut wasteful spending, so we can send a strong signal: that Washington is going to stop using our small businesses as piggy banks and focus on helping them get back to creating jobs. Already, we have cut Washington spending by $10 billion over five weeks. This is real money, especially when you consider that the president and Democrats in Congress originally suggested that not a single dime in spending cuts would be had.
“Of course, if we’re serious about ending the uncertainty for job creators in our economy, we need to cut more. As economists have explained and many Americans already know, it’s the private sector that creates jobs and government overspending just crowds out private investment. That’s why last month the House passed a measure, reflecting the will of the people, that includes significant cuts and reforms in the way Washington D.C. spends taxpayers’ time and money. This legislation is necessary because last year, when Democrats ran both houses of Congress, they failed to offer a budget. For the first time in modern history, Congress failed to do this.
“The Senate needs to step up and follow us in passing a bill so we can prevent a government shutdown and support job growth by reducing spending. But to date, the Democrats in the Senate haven’t passed anything – and instead of offering a credible, long-term plan, the president has stayed on the sidelines.
“If we want to get our economy back to creating jobs, we can’t duck our responsibility to rein in spending. It’s important we get beyond last year’s mess so we can focus on the full scope of the spending problems in Washington D.C. Republicans are determined to begin a dialogue about entitlement reform, even though the president's budget is silent. Failing to address the explosive growth of autopilot spending means failing to address our debt crisis. That means more uncertainty for our small businesses who create jobs, and more uncertainty for every American who counts on programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Without reforms, they simply won’t be there for future generations. And that’s unacceptable.
“My Republican colleagues and I have headed back to our districts this week to start a dialogue with the American people about all of these issues. We invite the President and our Democratic colleagues to join us in this dialogue. Together, we can end the uncertainty in our economy, help small businesses begin hiring again, and replace the crushing burden of debt in America with economic growth, freedom, and prosperity.
“Thank you so much for listening.” |
