Friends,
The Legislature is in full swing, campaigns are gearing up and we have elections to win this year. Let’s all be involved, whether on Leg watch or volunteering for our favorite candidate, we can’t leave the work to someone else.

WATKINS TO CHAIR KOSTER'S KING COUNTY EFFORTS
January 30, 2012 - John Koster today expressed his gratitude to his two Republican primary opponents for their service to our country and their selfless decision to forgo their campaigns for Congress.
"Greg Anders and James Watkins are great American patriots", said Koster. "Both of these men made a difficult, but honorable, decision to pull out of the race for the 1st Congressional district. I am grateful to them because now we will not have a protracted, expensive primary campaign. Republicans, Independents and conservative Democrats in the 1st district can unite behind my candidacy."

The 2012 "Respect for Law" citizens’ initiative was filed with the Secretary of State's office on Monday January 30th.
Historic sections familiar to you already include requirements that:
1. All employers fight identity fraud through E-verify enrollment.
2. The State to verify U.S. lawful presence through S.A.V.E. (similar to E-verify) and S.S.O.L.V. for driver license.
3. The State to verify U.S. lawful presence through S.A.V.E. (similar to E-verify) for public benefits.
4. Abolish "sanctuary" ordinances instituted by local governments such as Seattle and King County (and "wink and nod" sanctuaries like Yakima and most other county governments).
New sections seek to require:
1. Proof of citizenship for voter registration.
2. Proof of citizenship for candidate filings
3. Proof of "natural born" U.S. citizenship for Presidential ballot listing
Petitions will become available by late February. Please stay tuned! (Contributions to "Respect Washington" PO Box 3768, Federal Way, WA 98063 are always appreciated toward our upcoming printing and mailing expenses. Thank you.) Craig Keller craig@respectwashington.us
