The drum beat grows louder- the natives are growing restless

It is interesting with 1 week to go before Wisconsin (Tuesday, April 5) and 3 weeks prior to New York (Tuesday, April 19) primaries. By the way, Wyoming caucus is Saturday, April 9. That Bernie will just not quit and go away which many Clinton supporters are saying, begging, trying to reason or yelling for in this election season. Matter of fact, he seems to be picking up steam.

Washington Human Rights Commission quashes anti-trans petitions

Submitted by Robyn on Tue, 03/29/2016 - 1:20pm

Yesterday the Human Rights Commission of the State of Washington voted to reject two petitions to repeal what is being referred to as "the transgender bathroom rule." The HRC established WAC 163-32-060 last December. The rule allows transgender people to use gender-segregated facilities corresponding with our gender identity.

One of the petitions was written by Roderick and Bonnie Smilonich and the another by retired Sens. Val Stevens and Joyce Mulliken along with retired Reps. Gigi Talcott and Lynn Schindler. Mulliken, of Moses Lake, formerly served the 13th Legislative District. Mulliken wrote on her Facebook page she was told of the hearing only one day prior by another legislator, not by the commission. She is currently out of state and wasn’t able to attend the hearing. The other lawmakers who filed the petition weren’t in attendance either.

Mulliken later told the Herald the group plans to appeal the decision with Gov. Jay Inslee and the Joint Administrative Rules Review Committee (the Legislative committee that audits state agencies, boards and commissions).

Hillary Clinton Sets Back the Cause of Women's Rights

I have heard all the arguments as to why I should vote for Hillary Clinton because I am a woman. I have heard that Bernie Sanders supporters are nothing but lily white men. Guess what? I don't vote because of a person's sex. I'm not pure white, my great-grandmother was Cherokee and Dad registered all of the children as part of the Cherokee Nation. My vote needs to be earned.
