If you missed joining CAPR for our Annual Banquet June 12th, 2021, our Keynote Speaker Martha Boneta inspired the crowd at our Reclaiming Our Liberty dinner. You can watch the video of Martha's keynote speach here: proprights.org/2021Keynote  

Government, learning institutions, and some in the private sector are attempting to mandate “vaccines” or deny basic rights based on “vaccination status”.  On August 9, 2021, Governor Inslee issued a proclamation, and an amending proclamation mandating “Covid Vaccinations” for state employees and contractors. This proclamation was jointly issued with proclamations from the King County Executive, and the City of Seattle Mayor.  Similar proclamations are being made in many political jurisdictions around the U.S.

Its almost like Bonney Lake is in America!  If the administrative state and executive branches could recognize where they are situated Washington State could begin to thrive. 

This Washington State City is led by a mayor and City Council that fully understands constitutionally protected rights, privacy rights, and informed consent and the right to refusal in medical decisions.  This patriotism has been expressed by the City of Bonney Lake in a formal resolution signed by Mayor Neil Johnson Jr., congratulations Bonney Lake!  

CAPR Spokane enjoyed fine weather and the enjoyment of getting together with members, supporters, and great legislators at Liberty Lake on March 22. 

Representative Jim Walsh made the journey to Spokane to discuss the past legislative session and the political environment we find ourselves in, offering inspiration!

Bills of Concern, Results on Wins and Losses 2021 (In numerical order)

How a green win is in truth a green loss.

Legacy building is a fetish and one that will prove to be as hollow as a hungry teenager’s leg.  The green brick road Inslee has tried to build over the years has fed his extravagant trust in and reverence of climate worship while missing the goal.  Climate Czar he is not, but he has chosen to continue his pursuit of the building of his green brick road and to claim it exists even though many of the bricks are missing. 

Senate bill 5126 is a divisive bill, although it is a cap and trade on pollution, or an emission pricing bill it has divided the environmental cartel.  The climate justice arm of the environmental community feels there is not enough being done to provide better air quality and that there is not enough of the proposed revenue from this bill directed at environmental justice programs.  Many in the environmental community believe it will reduce carbon pollution but preface that belief on increased revenue for a carbon free future.  A 95% reduction in carbon is lauded, though the blessings promised rely on building new style buildings as well as retooling existing buildings, those in favor of this notion call the bill a cap and invest program, though it is not specified how all the work would be accomplished with carbon free methods.

The legislative session ends on April 25.  On April 8 three new bills were introduced to increase revenue for "transportation funding"  Senator Hobbs introduced the bills...5481Authorizing bonds for transportation funding. ,5482 Concerning additive transportation funding and appropriations 5483 Concerning transportation funding.  The three bills increase and create taxes, raises taxes, and creates a new Road Uses Charge(RUC) tax.  

The Washington State Senate passed SB 5038 Prohibiting the open carry of certain weapons at public demonstrations and the state capitol.  The title is misleading and would in fact prohibit the open carry rights, the right to bear arms in many circumstances across the state.  Your A2 rights are under attack.  This proposed law passed the senate 28/20. 

The bill passed the house by 57/40 with Representative Walsh refusing to vote on the bill because it is clearly unconstitutional.  Rep. Jim Walsh speaks out against unconstitutional open carry bill on the House floor
