Today the House passed Senate bill 3307; the ‘Child Nutrition” (a.k.a. school lunch…and dinner??). It will go to your President for his esteemed and wise consideration. I have some thoughts on this.
I understand why some people feel bad about hungry kids not being able to learn because they are hungry. Really, I [...]

The politicians we’re about to send to office need to clearly understand…they are walking into a job nobody in their right mind would want. It will be one of crisis management and mitigation, not perks and privilege. It is a job for patriots…or fools.
I’d like to share a few videos from the folks [...]

There are three individuals running as Republicans for the 3rd District U.S. congressional race. People often ask, “what’s the difference?” It is an important question. Conservatives know all Republicans are not created equal these days. I encourage you to learn about all the candidates by visiting their websites, and especially hearing them in [...]

I have never met a candidate that feels so strongly as David Hedrick does about our Constitution and our government. He is truly a Christian man of principled positions. He does not feel a certain way about issues based on how the public perceives the issues, or who puts more money behind [...]

Joe Sixpack started the day early, having set his alarm clock (made in Japan) for 6 am. While his coffeepot (made in China) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (made in Hong Kong). He put on a dress shirt (made in Sri Lanka), some jeans (made in Singapore) and tennis shoes (made in China).
After cooking his breakfast in his new [...]

What an interesting development. I am really not sure what to make of this joint press release by Paul Akers and Clint Didier, two nonestablishment grassroots candidates for Washington State Senator. These two gentlemen have earned my respect; indeed I have cast my vote for one of them in the primary. They both represent the [...]

Turns out that Governor Gregoire really, really wants to put another bullet into the patella of the free market. So much so, she is willing to violate her properly defined role as Governor. She does this by promulgating an executive order…that has the exact same effect as a recent bill rejected by [...]

Campaigning as the Art of the Possible…or Not
BY: MICHAEL FROME 7.28.2010
I have heard that a ‘Tea Party Republican’ such as David Hedrick couldn’t possibly win…because no businessperson would ever make a maximum contribution to such a dark horse campaign…because he couldn’t possibly win. Such an assertion is not only circular, it is demonstrably wrong. I [...]

Please note this opinion was originally written Nov 4, 2009, when Jon was still running for the 3rd Congressional District. Jon refocused his efforts on Olympia in January of 2010. The story bears repeating, as the facts haven’t changed…and it is time to choose the next Representative for Washington’s 18th District. It is unfortunate and [...]

BY: MICHAEL FROME 1.31.10
With Dr. Brian Baird’s pending retirement from Congress this year, there is a vibrant and dynamic competition for the Peoples’ Seat: Washington State’s 3rd Congressional District.
This weekend I was able to hear three of the four of the major Conservative contenders [...]

Budget deficits have not only gripped matters on a national level, but have wreaked havoc on local governments as well. Here in Washington, Olympia cut six million from the Battle Ground School District (BGSD) this year and is said to be looking at cutting an additional seven million next year.
