Note. Tue, Oct 5 - I have tweaked this post to correct a confusing statement.

Rarely are we allowed a vote for real choice. And for real improvement in our government. If you value our environment then you want to vote for Democrat Mike Cooper and get rid of Republican Doug Sutherland. Doug has ignored laws and showed a contempt for public process. And for our forests.

This choice overrides partisan politics. I may vote for Republican Dino Rossi for Governor. I wish Democrat Dave Quall had an opponent in the general election as I would probably vote for that person. Republican Secretary of State Sam Reed definitely gets my vote. I want accountable and responsive elected officials.

Mike Cooper promises to better care for our forests and watersheds. He actually values our environment. Doug Sutherland has made a mess of things. His proposed rampant cutting around Lake Whatcom and Glenhaven are only recent examples. All moderate Republicans can support Mike Cooper without risking their values. I strongly urge you to vote for Mike and to spread the word. This guy deserves our support.

The daily rate of deaths is the second highest since the war “ended”. And this is the 4th straight month of increased deaths. But daily we are told by the Bush government that things are getting better.

The military records of Kerry and Bush are relevant. Both sides have spent millions because they think the American voters care. We are in a war and personal military experience is relevant.
