CAPR Bills of Concern Legislative Wrap

By Cindy Alia

4/26/23

The 105 "long session" is over as of April 23.  It was indeed a long session with too many bills introduced and some carelessly passed.  Even so, the legislature failed to pass a law regarding illegal drug posession, leaving behind a legacy of careless disregard for those suffering addiction and those suffering because so many are addicted.  In essence because a bill was not passed all drugs in this state are now legal.

That aside, the CAPR bills of concern will be updated below.  Please be sure to thank your legislator if he voted the way you would have liked him to vot

Deceit, Harm, and the Loss of Human Values

By Cindy Alia

February 21, 2023

Two more bills that dehumanize and deceive us.  Lets look at what they really want to say.

As discussed in a recent blog, Value Life to Value Property Rights, including abortion as a constitutionally protected natural right goes against the ideal of positive rights creating the foundation of constitutional protections.  It is still urged SJR 8202 is not passed, though it is currently eligible for a vote on the senate floor.  But there are two other bills we must look at to defend our status as human beings worthy of establishing and keeping our liberties.  We must value humanity to value property.

CAPR General Election Ratings

Most of us have received or soon will receive our ballots for the general election.  While the mail in ballot experience is not what many would consider optimal, we face the leap of faith voting experience we survived in 2020.  We do know there have been teams of dedicated people working to make this election more representative of what we believe it should be.  That said your vote is as important as it has ever been and we encourage all to get their completed ballot in.  It is worth noting there is a statewide race of importance, Secretary of State, where CAPR has rated three candidates including the write in candidate Brad Klippert, running against Steve Hobbs, and Julie Anderson.  They have been rated respectively according to their records and actions as related to property rights, with Brad Klippert receiving the highest rating among the three.

CAPR Ratings for 2022 Primary Candidates

By Cindy Alia, July 15, 2022

This posting has been updated on July 27th to reflect CAPR's reconsideration of the rating for Chad Magendanz, which has been upgraded and restored to outstanding.  This consideration resulted from a review of Chad Magendanz and his history of defending property rights, and his strength on CAPR Property Rights Issues.  In addition, Chad's responsiveness to CAPR concerns regarding other foundational bill of rights issues has led us to rate him Outstanding.

You should have gotten your ballot in the mail today!  Please be sure to vote in the Primary Election, the two candidates with the most votes will be listed on the General Election come November!

CAPR Opposes HB 1838 Protecting, restoring, and maintaining habitat for salmon recovery.

CAPR has provided this testimony and comment on HB 1838 which if appropriately titled would read "Establishing takings and ruining private property rights and farming in Washington State"  

Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights members from both the west and east sides of the state adamantly and absolutely oppose 1838 and its companions in the Senate 5727 and 5665.

The bills should be sidelined and stopped even though the governor has requested them.  Explaining all that is wrong with this proposed legislation would take far more than a minute or 2.
