Doug White Insider – October 14, 2022

Posted on October 14, 2022

INSIDER

OCTOBER 10, 2022


Weekly Recap


I was at Volunteer Park in Pasco last Saturday for the Women’s March. The state legislatures, the federal government, and the Supreme Court can not take away our right to make decisions about our lives and bodies. The constitution protects all persons born and naturalized in this county with rights and protection that can not be denied.

Republican fellows, especially our District Rep. Dan Newhouse, voted ‘No’ on the Women Health’s Protection Act of 2022. He has no respect for the most fundamental human rights. How can we expect him to help our community, to help and represent our people?

El sábado pasado, yo estuve presente en el Parque Volunteer para la marcha de mujeres. Las legislaturas estatales, el gobierno federal, y la corte suprema no pueden arrebatarnos nuestro derecho de tomar decisiones acerca de nuestras vidas, ni la autonomía de nuestros cuerpos. La constitución protege todo ciudadano nacido, o naturalizado en este país con derechos y protecciones que no pueden ser negados. Republicanos, especialmente el Representante de nuestro Distrito, Dan Newhouse, eligió votar ‘No’ en 2022 sobre el Acto de Protección de la Salud Femenina. No respeta los fundamentos básicos de los derechos humanos. ¿Como podemos esperar que el ayude a nuestra comunidad, o, que ayude y represente a nuestra gente?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I was honored to be invited to White Swan High School as they are launching a Farm to Table program to teach students about their heritage and self-sufficient farming through growing their own food.

Good education is the backbone of a civilized and developed community. We have always been living in this land, in all its diverse beauty and abundance, and our kids should have all opportunities to learn and appreciate the gift of nature.

Tuve el honor de ser invitado a la Preparatoria White Swan ya que están lanzando un programa Del Campo-a la-Mesa para ensenar a los estudiantes sobre su herencia y como ser independientes en la siembra de sus propios alimentos. La educación apropiada es la columna de una comunidad desarrollada y civilizada. Siempre hemos vivido en esta tierra con todo su esplendor diverso y su abundancia, y nuestros hijos deben tener todas las oportunidades de aprender y apreciar el obsequio de la naturaleza.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As Election Day is coming up in less than 4 weeks, I have more chances to participate in multiple Candidate Forums, in Ephrata, in Tonasket, in White Salmon, at the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce…etc. While Dan Newhouse, as usual, was a no-show.

This proved that the leader of this district has always been absent. We need someone that has the skills and capability to see the future and deliver!

Instead of arguing, we should be building! Infrastructure, energy, and rail attract family-wage jobs and secure our future. These forums are how politics should be as people face their elected officials and candidates. By sharing my visions and thoughts on critical matters such as water shortage, infrastructure, cleaning up the Hanford site, or Snake River Dams removal, I am able to reassure you and your trust that I am the right person for the job.

A medida que se aproximan las elecciones, dentro de cuatro semanas, eh tenido mas oportunidades de participar en múltiples foros de candidatura, en Ephrata, en Tonasket, en White Salmon, en la Cámara de Comercio del Valle de Wenatchee… etc. Y como de costumbre Dan Newhouse no se presento.

Esto demuestra que el líder de este distrito siempre ha estado ausente. Necesitamos alguien que posea las habilidades y la capacidad de visualizar el futuro y someter lo. ¡En lugar de discutir, deberíamos estar construyendo! Infraestructura, energía, y tranvía atraen ingresos familiares y aseguran nuestro futuro. Estos Foros son como la política debería ser mientras la gente enfrenta sus funcionarios electivos y candidatos. Al compartir mi visión y pensamientos sobre asuntos críticos tales como escasez de agua, infraestructura, la limpieza del sitio de Hanford, o la eliminación de presas del rio Snake, puedo asegurarles y a su confianza que soy la persona adecuada para esta candidatura.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We have been arguing over the snake river dams for over 70 years. They will not likely come down in my lifetime and they definitely will not come down in my tenure in congress. As your Representative I can prepare us for the future by expanding renewable energy production, energy storage, and alternative transportation by investing in rail and continuing to support improvements in our salmon runs.

Hemos discutido sobre las presas del rio Snake por mas de 70 años. No es probable que sean derivadas durante mi vida, y definitivamente no serán derivadas en mi tenencia en el congreso. Como su Representante yo puedo preparar nos para el futuro con la expansión de la producción de energía renovable, el almacenaje de energía, el transporte alternativo al invertir en tranvías y continuar apoyando los mejoramientos del recorrido del Salmon.

Benton County WA Democrats
Mike Lindell Declares Victory After Crushing Trial DefeatStory by Nikki McCann Ramirez and Asawin Suebsaeng, Rolling StoneOn Monday evening, MyPillow CEO and Donald Trump ally Mike Lindell texted Rolling Stone: "Awesome win! MyPillow 100% innocent!!!!"It was an odd moment to be taking a victory lap. Moments earlier, a jury ruled that Lindell had defamed a former Dominion Voting Systems executive named Eric Coomer on two occasions, including by calling him a traitor, and ordered Lindell to fork over $2.3 million in damages. Why was Lindell reveling in supposed victory? Presumably because the jury damages awarded to Coomer were significantly less than the $26.7 million sought by his attorneys.In his text to Rolling Stone, Lindell added that he planned to appeal the ruling, declaring: "My fight to get rid of the machines will continue on stronger than ever!"As previously reported by Rolling Stone, Lindell had seemed almost giddy to make his case in court ahead of the trial. "Of course I'm gonna testify at my own trial!" he said earlier this month. "I have nothing to hide. I am a former crack addict; I've always been open about that. I've always been open about everything! I'm as transparent as they come." Lindell did testify in his own defense, telling the jury that he didn't knowingly defame Coomer when he accused the Dominion director of being a traitor, while boosting wild conspiracy theories insinuating that Coomer had been involved in efforts by his employer to rig the 2020 election against President Donald Trump. (There is no evidence of any such plot.)While Lindell may be celebrating only being slapped with a seven figure damages penalty in this case, Coomer's lawsuit is the first in a series of defamation claims against the MAGA pillow magnate, related to his claims about the 2020 election. Lindell has also been sued directly by Dominion and by Smartmatic, another election hardware and software company about which Lindell made wild claims.Dominion is seeking $1.3 billion in damages from Lindell, Smartmatic has left the amount up to the judge. But it's safe to say that Lindell is nowhere close to being out of the woods. ... See MoreSee Less

    In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

    🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨

    In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts.

    🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨

    The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

    On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information.

    A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
