“Is Big Brother Here in the City of Spokane?”
October 27, 2022
By Steve Corker, VP Landlord Association
In 1949, an English author George Orwell published a novel warning against totalitarianism. In the novel the all-seeing leader known as “Big Brother,” becomes a universal symbol for intrusive government and oppressive bureaucracy.

CAPR Opposes the Board of Health's new rule language in the Keeping of Animals Rule.
The hearing was held on Wednesday, June 8, at 1:30, 12 people registered to comment and were each limited to 2 minutes of comment. Those who could not wrap up their comments in that time frame were simply cut off and silenced mid sentence. The board seemed almost automatonic in both the presentation of the rule and the response to comments, and in the end were unmoved by for the most part, negative response to the rule by commentors.
The board disregarded suggested improvement and moved to procede through the rule making process to update the rule.

Admittedly, butter wouldn’t melt in my mouth. As a former proponent of civility, I am chilled by the new social awareness within certain enclaves of new thinkers, our far-left, and their inability to recognize reality, use common sense in understanding consequences of their beliefs and actions. I have come to realize these people clearly lack the wherewithal to understand what civility might be as they further seek to apply their disdain held for all societal norms which has pushed them into an abuse of all civilized methods, even while using the traditions long established in this state. How contradictory that tradition based on civility is one they still cling to, yet how else to improve the thinking of those accused of employing the old awareness, the wrong think, except by the force of law?

As noted in this post, there is a court case seeking injunctive relief for the House of Representatives plan to bar or ban unpapered and unvaccinated Representatives and constituents from full participation in person of the legislative process for the 2022 session. But there is more happening in Washington state related to the unequal treatment of individuals based on COVID mandates.
By Cindy Alia 12/1/21
By now you have probably heard in the news about unvaccinated Representatives and Constituents being barred or banned from the capitol which threatens the foundational “separate but equal” concept of our three branches of government through direct representation and through directed citizen involvement in person at the public forum of the capitol. This ban is not law, but has been created as a House Rule by the House Rules Committee. However, in our current governmental 21 month emergency declarative state little notice is paid attention to the differences between law and policy.

Medical Freedom and Informed Consent
Updated 9/27/21
We witness not Vaccine Hesitancy; we witness individuals asserting the Right to Refuse a Medical Treatment. We have come to the time when citizens must decide what is most important the rule of man or the rule of law. Tyranny will last as long as it is tolerated and abided, many seek to gain refuge in the state and federal constitutions either by following the rule of law, or litigating to ensure the rule of law is honored. There will be a Medical Freedom rally on Oct 3, 1-4pm at the capitol for those who would like to add their voices to the voices of other like-minded individuals.
