Washington State Republican Party Chairman and unDivided Podcast host Brandi Kruse will be the featured speakers at the rally
A rally has been scheduled for Wednesday (Jan. 31) at 3:30 p.m. on the steps of the Washington State Capitol building (North/Supreme Court side) to demand that Democrat legislators take Constitutionally mandated action on voter-backed initiatives.
Washington State Republican Party (WAGOP) Chairman Jim Walsh and unDivided Podcast host Brandi Kruse will be the featured speakers at the rally.
“Our state’s Democrat lawmakers are failing to uphold constitutional mandates by obstructing the consideration of voter-backed initiatives,’’ read a Monday statement from the WAGOP. “Despite the Washington Constitution’s clear directives, none of the six certified initiatives before the state legislature have been granted the priority they deserve.
“These initiatives address critical issues such as allowing police to pursue dangerous criminals, lowering gas prices by repealing the carbon tax, parental notification laws, repealing capital gains income tax, making state-run long term care coverage optional, and prohibition of state and local income taxes,’’ the statement read. “Republican efforts to prioritize hearings for these initiatives have been unanimously rejected by House Democrats, while bills granting extensive influence to the Attorney General over fiscal notes for alternative initiatives have received swift attention.
“This disregard for constitutional duty by our legislators undermines the voice of Washingtonians and the integrity of the democratic process. Two million six-hundred thousand signatures have been gathered for these initiatives, and Washingtonians expect lawmakers to take the swift and decisive action that they are legally required to. Join us on Wednesday, Jan. 31, at the State Capitol in Olympia and demand they do so.’’
