State of Washington & Clark County State of Washington & Clark County Voters’ Pamphlet November 6, 2012 General Election Published by the Office of the Secretary of State Published& the Clark by Countythe Office Auditor of the Secretary of State & County Name Here 2 A Message from Secretary of State Sam Reed As I prepare to leave public service after 12 years as your Secretary of State and 45 years in government, I extend my warmest thanks for the great opportunity to serve you and this tremendous state. It has been an honor. Together, over the past decade, we have reformed our election system and made it fair, accessible, accurate and secure. In the aftermath of the 2004 governor’s race, the closest in U.S. history, we established a statewide database of registered voters, online voter registration and candidate filing, and a thousand other upgrades to the integrity of the election system. We successfully defended the people’s right to an open Top 2 Primary system and have advocated for broader participation in our elections by people with disabilities, citizens whose understanding of English is limited, and those who serve in our military or live abroad. One of my favorite projects has been an annual tour of our college campuses to encourage our inspiring and talented young people. This work of reform and outreach never ends. Likewise, we are working together to champion civility in government and in our public dialogue, to promote civic engagement and civic education. This is the work of all of us. As I reminisce over the last 12 years, I am proud that we, together, saved the State Library, created the nation’s first Digital Archives, improved customer service at the Corporations and Charities Division, welcomed the Combined Fund Drive and Domestic Partnership Registry into our office, protected crime victims with our Address Confidentiality Program, created a Corporations for Communities Award program, championed heritage and oral history through a new Heritage Center, advocated for open and transparent government, and promoted international trade and friendship. This year we celebrate 100 years of legislation by petition, the centennial year of our initiative and referendum process. Our populist system is more robust than ever with six ballot measures and two advisory votes for your decision. Likewise, you have been asked to vote for President; U.S. Senate; and nine statewide elected officials, including open races for Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General and Auditor. Ten congressional seats, including the newly awarded 10th District; the Legislature; the courts; and many important local offices and issues will be determined by voters this year. In closing, my request is that you take seriously your privilege and responsibility to vote. It’s your voice. We face so many important choices that will affect our country, state and local communities for years to come. It has never been more important to vote and take part in forging our future together.

    August 24, 2020 Larry Carpenter, Chairman Kelly Susewind, Director Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission 600 Capitol Way N 600 Capitol Way N Olympia, WA 98501 Olympia, WA 98501 [email protected] [email protected] RE: Columbia River Basin Salmon Management Policy (C-3620) Chairman Carpenter and Director Susewind: We have serious concerns with proposed changes to the Commission’s Columbia River Basin Salmon Management Policy (C-3620) that would undo efforts to enhance the conservation and selectivity of Columbia River salmon fisheries under the Oregon-Washington Columbia River reforms. The Commission’s recent actions to undermine the bi-state reforms by returning non-tribal gillnets to the mainstem lower Columbia River have been immensely unpopular with our constituents and comes as several salmon and steelhead populations are in steep decline. The actions have also cost the Department critical support from recreational anglers – a stakeholder group that is key to the long-term financial solvency of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Columbia River basin fisheries require careful, proactive management with 13 species of salmon and steelhead listed under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) along with federal requirements dictating the harvest or removal of excess hatchery fish as a condition of continued hatchery operations. These challenges have driven the transition to fishing methods more capable of selectively harvesting hatchery-reared salmon while also providing increased escapement of ESA-listed and weak wild stocks. By design, gillnets are ill-suited for meeting these challenges in the mainstem lower Columbia River’s mixed-stock fisheries where wild and ESA-listed salmon and steelhead are intermingled with fin-clipped hatchery-reared salmon.

  • Activist Literacy and Dr. Jill Stein's 2012 Green Party Campaign
    45 Recognizing the Rhetorics of Feminist Action: Activist Literacy and Dr. Jill Stein’s 2012 Green Party Campaign Virginia Crisco Abstract: Scholars such as Nancy Welch and Susan Jarratt argue that Neoliberalism shapes how everyday citizens are able to take action. Using what Jacquelyn Jones Royster and Gesa Kirsch call “social circulation,” I analyze how Dr. Jill Stein, the presidential candidate for the Green Party in 2012, used “whatever spaces are left” to challenge the dominant two party system, particularly in relation to the pres- idential debates. I argue that Stein demonstrates an activist literacy disposition that positions her to use the spaces, the literate and rhetorical means, and oppor- tunities for storytelling to foster social action in our neoliberal climate. Keywords: neoliberalism, social circulation, activist literacy, third party politics In Living Room: Teaching Public Writing in a Privatized World, Nancy Welch argues that neoliberalism has changed not only the topics available for public discussion in the pursuit of making socio-political change, but the venues for having those discussions, as they have also become increasingly privatized. As an example, Welch refects on her experiences advocating for her husband’s health care to their insurance company. She describes the multiple letters she had gotten from her insurance company saying their appeal for his care had been denied, using the same phrases again and again, as if her carefully re- searched and rhetorical letters were not even being read. This leads Welch to question the amount of power we as teachers and scholars of writing give to language and rhetoric: These are rhetorical strategies that, mostly in the abstract, have given me comfort – comfort in the belief that I really can wield power in language, that I can empower my students, particularly those subor- dinate by gender, race, sexuality, and class, to do the same.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.
