It is time to sell Point Roberts to Canada


 It is time to correct a geographic mistake and sell Point Roberts to Canada.  This will also save Whatcom County some extra money since 2001 they had to buy a ferry to run it from Bellingham to Point Roberts because you can not go there directly without going through Canada.  Please contact congressman Rick Larsen to make this proposal. 

Rank choice voting needs to be declared unconstitutional


 Rank choice voting needs to be declared unconstitutional here is why it denies you a direct vote.  It also takes longer to tally the votes of the race.  Remember you can only run the votes through the machine one time.  You have to hand count and mark the ballots to put in the piles to make sure the vote is counted correctly.  Remember this idea has been repealed everywhere it has been tried.  In Alaska rank choice voting only happens in the general in the primary it is the top four that advance regardless of party.  Let's hope the judge rules this idea unconstitutional.
