‘We the People’ must stand for our rights

Posted

Please support the Washington state sheriffs who have stated that they will not enforce the Safe Space for Criminals Act, better known as Initiative 1639, until the courts have ruled upon whether or not the law is constitutional. 

Initiative 1639 only serves to give criminals more rights and more power to victimize innocent people. This law, which was placed onto the ballot after violating state law, is nothing less than the state telling us that our rights don’t matter because we are too stupid to manage our own freedom. That the only “reasonable and common sense” thing to do would be to turn law abiding citizens into felons after they have been victimized by criminals.

The people who were elected to represent “We the People” in government are sending us the message that they are celebrating their own moral superiority at the expense of our liberty. They are waving, metaphorically speaking, a big middle finger in our faces as they systematically dismantle our rights and freedoms. The message is clear, we serve them and as such, are rapidly becoming a jog in the very tyranny that they claim to oppose. 

Many of our voices are being ignored, and as such, we are being denied real representation in our state government. And because of this, we face unprecedented censorship, sanction, regulation, as well as aggressive restrictions of our freedom, our rights, and the use of our property. You know that democracy has been subverted when our lawmakers ignore We the People in favor of out of state money and influence. 

Now that I-1639 is law, the Attorney General of our state should issue “Safe Space For Criminals” signs to all of us so that we can virtue signal to the criminals that our homes and our families are defenseless and that we gleefully await becoming the next crime statistic. 



Supporters of I-1639 will argue that it was passed into law by an overwhelming majority of voters while ignoring that those who voted for the bill were misled by those pushing the bill. 

Even if our own state supreme court, in its corruption, upholds this law, we still have the right to say no. This far, no further. The line in the sand must be held or we will all lose in the end. 

Our rights and safety should not be compromised because of uninformed voters, corrupt politicians, and agenda-driven judges.

This is why we must support those in law enforcement who put their oath to uphold the constitution first over those who would shred it and with it, our individual rights and freedoms.
