Eastern Washington values

Jan. 22, at the House Environment and Energy Committee hearing, I was looking for support on the 100 percent clean electricity bill. I’m asking myself, is our representative really representing the true values of the people of Eastern Washington? I’m asking you, yes you, the reader of this letter, what are your Eastern Washington values? Personally, I cannot support, the “Biblical Basis for Warfare”, now under FBI investigation, and the repeat filling of the “State of Liberty” legislation. Those activities are not representing my Eastern Washington values. You might ask, what are my Eastern Washington values? My list is long and will have to be explored in later letters. For now, I’ll state: I have lived many different places both in Europe and United States, and now I’m in Eastern Washington and the truth is, Eastern Washington is the first place, of the many places I have lived, that finally feels like home.
