Vancouver resident Wynn Grcich urges area residents to perform their duty and vote

This is an American duty most people take for granted. This nation was founded on Biblical Christian beliefs the Christian Pilgrims, who left England, decided to risk their lives to start. The men who signed the constitution knew they would be labeled traitors to the king of England. They were willing to die so this nation could be free for generations to come. Those were brave men.
People seem to have forgotten that or were not taught that in school.
I have met and listened to many of the candidates running. How many have you heard, met, or questioned the people on your ballot? Do you send emails to your elected officials and ask for a response? The people in office have a direct impact on our lives. There is something you can do by running yourself, help a candidate run, or vote for change, if you don’t like what is going on.
Only 29% of the people vote in this area or the state. Being apathetic has allowed this to happen.
Voting for the school board is the first move to do the right thing. Lars Larson has commented many times on starting with that. $17,000 per student is a lot of money for lowering the educational standards, parental rights being taken away, LGBTQ pride, reading porn books in the school libraries, 78 vaccines before your children graduate, and feeding the students GMO food in cafeterias. Schools purchase the cheapest food they can buy.
Vancouver mayor and council can be changed with voter approval. They have made lots of money with new development and covid money, but their over spending and taxation is making more people homeless. Even if your home is paid for, you don’t own it. Blackrock owns the HOAs and with Imminent Domaine the city can buy you out and make you move. The mentally ill, drug users, and garbage is inexcusable. This is the time of year when they pass the budget for the next year. They can’t balance the budget and yet continue to over spend and reject most public comment. They decided to continue fluoridation without the public voting on that. What gives them the right to add industrial waste from China in your drinking water? It increases cancer death rates, lowers IQs, causes Down Syndrome, hip fractures, hyper activity in children and Alzheimer’s in adults. Read: The Fluoride deception by Christopher Bryson. It is in audible, too.
Do you listen or go to the council meetings? Why not?
Justin Forsman is the only threat to the mayor’s socialist running of the city. During his campaign signs were stolen and knocked down. Tire tracks are where the signs were mowed down or removed. Libraries gave Justin a hard time to do meet and greets. Mayor Anne’s signs have been up for almost nine months using permanent stakes and oversize sign violations. Aren’t you sick of that? This would be her third term if reelected. Has your lives and businesses gotten better? Is the mayor transparent in money matters of her over taxation? Vancouver wants to vote on more taxation for more police. She wants you to pay for them, even though all this new construction brought her additional property tax dollars that can be allocated for them. If you can’t afford to pay more taxes during these inflationary times, don’t vote for Mayor Anne and her council members. It’s up to you to make the change we need!
Justin has a good chance, if people vote. It isn’t that hard to do. He is a good man and wants to represent the public. He listens and has good ideas to fix Vancouver’s problems.
Get out and vote!
