Kim Wyman on Q13 Fox: The Divide

On Behalf of WEA’s More Conservative Members #61 WA Secretary of State Kim Wyman on Q13 Fox: The Divide https://www.q13fox.com/the-divide-with-brandi-kruse/the-divide-post-office-politics Time stamp 13:40 8.28.20 This series is in response to WA State Democratic Party Chairperson’s claiming Sec. of State Kim Wyman has not been “championing vote by mail across the country” . Host Brandi Kruse: "What do you do when the people of your own party try to undermining the system that you’re in charge of? We’ve talked about the fact that Pres. Trump talked about delaying the November election. Lauren Culp, current Republican candidate for governor, sent out a tweet, suggesting mail-in-voting isn’t effective." Sec. of State Kim Wyman: “My job is elections. So, if a candidate for governor or the president of the United States or the US Attorney General wants to politicize administrative processes that they have never conducted, they know very little about; they have not taken me up on opportunity to come and show them in an election office, how it’s done and why it’s secure and the measures we have in place; then they just going to make those basely political claims and I’m sure their base is going to love it; I’m sure they’re going to angry with me and they may even vote me out of office - and you know what, I’m ok with that. But I’m not up to politicizing the job, so if the attacks come from the right or the left, it doesn’t matter. My job is elections." Just another reason why I’ve chosen to support Kim Wyman for re-election as Secretary of WA, even though WEA has chosen not to endorse her for a third term. ------------ Ken Mortland is a member of WEA-Retired, continuing a long career of activism in WEA/NEA.

Sec. of State Handles Calls for Help from Other States

On Behalf of WEA’s More Conservative Members #60 Examples of Sec. of State Wyman’s Media Appearances #3 - NBC - Coronavirus 'worst-case scenario': Could the presidential vote be done by mail? 3/26/2020 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/coronavirus-worst-case-scenario-could-presidential-vote-be-done-mail-n1168151 8.24.20 This series is in response to WA State Democratic Party Chairperson’s claiming Sec. of State Kim Wyman has not been “championing vote by mail across the country” . •Wyman said she's been inundated with calls from colleagues in other states seeking advice. •"The first thing I say is people need to understand the context," she said. "I am probably the biggest champion of vote by mail in the country, but it took us five years to move from polling places to vote-by-mail." •Every state that isn't used to voting primarily by mail will have to prepare for a huge increase in volume. •Voters need to be told not only how to v

ARE THE ATTACKS ON USPS AN ATTACK ON THE CONSTITUTION?

SERIOUSLY! ARE YOU KIDDIN’ ME!! #10 ARE THE ATTACKS ON USPS AN ATTACK ON THE CONSTITUTION? Aren’t These People Supposed to Know Better? 8.26.20 -The US Postal Service was created by an enabling act in the US Constitution. (Article I, Section 8, Clause 7). -Under the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution, election protocols are the responsibility of the States, subject to the US Constitution. (The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.) It is, therefore, my opinion that the recent actions taken by Pres. Trump’s recently appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy constitute a double assault on the US Constitution. Furthermore, the timing and targeting of mail sorting and delivery capabilities are clearly intended to disrupt the upcoming General Election and set the scene for a refusal by Pres. Trump to honor the results of the election, should he be defeated.

The Righteous US v. The Evil Them

Could This Be the Beginning of a Trend? #15 The Righteous US v. The Evil Them 7.8.20 There’s a great line, spoken by Ben Franklin, in the stage play/movie “1776”. I’m paraphrasing here, but it goes something like this…. “Revolution in the first person, our revolution, is always good. It’s only bad in the third person, their revolution.” As I look at the text of President Trump’s Mt. Rushmore speech, I see this concept in the form of an effort to emphasize an “US v. Them” scenario. On the Fourth of July, I would imagine a speech would emphasize the “WE”, but that does not seem to be the case. For example: "Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children." To start with, I’m struck by the scenario of “our nation”, not theirs; the “our history”, not theirs; “our heroes”, not theirs; “our values”, not theirs; and “our children”, not theirs. It implies “they” are not p
