A public school teacher's perspective on SB 5462 *Guest post written by Washington public middle school teacher on CLW's Legislative Action Team Here we are. Column Number Three. I started writing this before Governor Jay Inslee signed Senate Bill 5462 into law...
Parents will likely be hyper-aware this year as their high school students are engaging in “youth voter registration.” This is legal and was passed through the Washington legislature in 2018 in HB 1513 in an effort to address low youth voter turnout and encourage participation of youth in the election process.
Washington democrats have not just legalized abortion, they’ve made it protected healthcare for minor children (of no minimum age), they’ve removed all cost sharing (so either Medicaid pays or your insurance company foots the entirety of the bill), they’re forcing...
*Guest post by CLW Member and Washington Public School Teacher I want to start out this column by first saying that I am supportive of good teachers. I acknowledge all the awesome teachers in WA and around the country who are doing their best to try and give students...

Last session Conservative Ladies testified in opposition to SB 5209 on January 31st in the Senate State Government & Elections Committee. We believe this bill interferes with our First Amendment Rights. This bill would establish “universal civic duty voting,” which would require citizens to vote, by law. Of course, we think all citizens who are legally eligible to vote should exercise this duty and privilege. However, we do not believe it should be mandated and this law would create an “opt OUT” system, rather than opt in. A citizen would have to submit a waiver in order to get out of their “legal” obligation to cast a ballot.
