Message from the Chair

Hi all,

While the elections are over, there is still work to be done.  The horror that comes out of  Washington, D.C. and the miserable excuse for an American administration really does require our constant vigilance. We must be aware of what is happening and what we need to do. 

 To that end, the local enforcement folks have been invited to address the issue of interaction with ICE.So far we have Kitsap County Sheriff John Gese and Poulsbo police chief Ron Harding. Invitations have also been extended to the chiefs of Bainbridge Island and Bremerton. We know this is an area that raises issues of concern  so we hope that you will attend and get your questions answered about this.

On a related note, on Monday was the first episode of Ken Burns’ saga of the American Revolution. If you want to know our history and how we came to where we are now, you need to watch the program. Peter Coyote is again the narrator for the show. There is a lot one can learn from this program. It may give you pause to think about what underpins the structure of this country and how our foundations came to be. I spent almost 30 years teaching American Government and I can still find things to learn when watching shows such as this one. I hope you consider watching it.

On another note, there will be no LD meeting in December. We are giving you the gift of time . We figure that there’s a lot going on and people need time for themselves and their loved ones to get things done. So, enjoy this gift and have a happy and safe holiday season!

Val
