Celebrating Independence Day

July 4 is the day we celebrate the United States independence from the British. This day has been celebrated for nearly 250 years, but we live with independence every day. Men and women have given their lives for our freedom. Let's look at what their lives have given us.

Even though there are times we felt the government overreached during COVID, we for the majority of our lives have not been forced to live as the government tells us. We are free to go out, start your car and go anywhere you want. You are free to choose what you do on Independence Day.

Independence Day is a day we live everyday. We don't see it this way, but we really are free to live how we want. You can own a home in America and pass it to your heirs.

West Coast states launch commitment to reproductive freedom, standing united on protecting abortion access

West Coast states launch commitment to reproductive freedom, standing united on protecting abortion access

California, Oregon and Washington will continue to be a safe haven for all people seeking abortions and other reproductive health care services in these states.

UPDATE: The day after the West Coast states announcement, Gov. Jay Inslee held a press conference with Democratic legislators last Friday at the Capitol. Information updated below.

Thursday, June 24

The governors of California, Oregon and Washington today issued a Multi-State Commitment to defend access to reproductive health care, including abortion and contraceptives, and committed to protecting patients and doctors against efforts by other states to export their abortion bans to our states.

This Multi-State Commitment affirms the governors' commitment in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's unprecedented decision to strip away a constitutional right that has been in place for half a century, leaving abortion regulation to the states. The sweeping decision means that for patients in more than half the country, home to 33.6 million women, abortion care is illegal or inaccessible.
