Thankful for bike
safety support
We just wanted to thank everyone that came to the Tanner Jeans Memorial Bike Safety Rodeo this past weekend. We had our largest turnout ever. Rough estimates suggest that over 2,500 people came through the rodeo.
The Snoqualmie Police Department provided bike safety instruction for hundreds of kids and, if needed, we got them outfitted with new helmets. Dirt Corps did a fantastic job checking every child’s bike to ensure that it was safe for driving this summer. They also provided many kids with safety instruction when riding in the city of Snoqualmie bike park (located off of Snoqualmie Parkway).
Radio Disney was a huge hit and provided many kids with new safety gear sets, bikes, boards and more fun prizes!
In five years, we have managed to become the largest bike safety rodeo in the state of Washington! That is quite an accomplishment — one that we could never have attained without the support of parents and kids like you.
Remember to Have Fun, Play Fair and, More Importantly, Play Safe this summer!
Remembering Tanner,
The Tanner Jeans Memorial Foundation Board of Directors
Spending is out of
control across nation
When Pravda, a Russian newspaper, recognizes that the U.S. is declining into Marxism with breathtaking speed, you, a citizen of this country, must sit up and take notice.
I wrote to a paper during the election espousing dire economic consequences with the election of President Obama due to the unbridled power he and the Pelosi/Reid democrat congress have yielded.
Ask yourself the question; am I better off after five months under Obama? I think not. Real estate prices continue to decline, our neighbors (even at Microsoft) continue to lose their jobs and our state deepens its budget gap. Concerning the state budget, face it, people are scared and are not spending money because the government is scaring us. Washington state is cutting back just like we will experience nationally if the current administration gets its way.
If Obama and his cronies get their way this year we will see at least an almost immediate (this year) 20 percent decline in our standard of living due to increases in fees, taxes, cap and trade, national sales tax, healthcare takeover, etc.
We are headed toward a 1970s explosion in interest rates and it has already begun. Mortgage rates have jumped one full point in three months as the presses roll on. With all of the Obama/Geithner printing presses going full stream printing money we are headed toward a borrowing cost that will exceed our national GDP. Look to Europe, most of the EU countries voted in conservatives.
In the next year, please consider voting against the party in power to put the checks and balances back into our government.
Consider voting against Patty Murray.
