We enjoyed a great Northwest Washington Regional Republican Leadership Conference this past Saturday in Bellingham. We toned our skills and were encouraged by the Republican Red Wave crossing our Country and State.

The upcoming WSRP Annual Auction will be May 17th. Let me know if you have items to donate. Last year our Weekend in San Juan County Basket was most popular.

The letter below was submitted by Tom S. Read it and get busy convincing folks that we must rise up and take our country back!

Copied the following from Ron Ewart’s newsletter:

“Buried deep on the website of the U.S. Census Bureau is a number every American citizen, and especially those entrusted with public office, should know. It is 86,429,000.  That is the number of Americans who in 2012 got up every morning and went to work — in the private sector — and did it week after week after week.”  (This number represents only private sector jobs, not government jobs, which private sector jobs ultimately pay for.)

 However, that paragraph, in of itself, is not the whole picture.  The rest of the story from the article goes like this:

 “All told, including both the welfare recipients and the non-welfare beneficiaries, there were 151,014,000 who “received benefits from one or more programs” in the fourth quarter of 2011.  Subtract the 3,212,000 veterans, who served their country in the most profound way possible, and that leaves 147,802,000 non-veteran benefit takers.  The 147,802,000 non-veteran benefit takers outnumbered the 86,429,000 full-time private sector workers 1.7 to 1.” Continued
