Bryan's Hubcap Clocks

By Tara Williamson

      Bryan Burke, a resident of Spokane Washington, is reviving the American Dream.  Making old things new and beautiful again is not only a recent television trend, for some it is a living.  He makes hubcap clocks.  Bryan uses the extra income to support his work at Eastern Washington Voters. 

The making and selling of hubcap clocks may not be your typical glamour laced news, yet is almost more vital.  In times of increasing economic turbulence, resourcefulness and sustainability need to be recognized and retold.  This man endures the tedium of rescuing and restoring a very simple item, hubcaps.  To turn them into vital, working machines that track our most precious commodity (our time) is no small task.

Mary Kay Becker and Other Judicial Candidates for Washington State Supreme Court

2004 Judicial Candidates for State Supreme Court

How does one decide for whom to vote for judge?  You could try to guess the party leanings of judicial candidates.   However, if voters screen for political orientation, we will get a court system that is just as partisan as congress.  Most people agree that judges should strive to be fair, objective, knowledgeable interpreters of the law—not political operatives. 

Jobs or trees?

Mike Cooper: Candidate for Commissioner of Public Lands

He can ensure both on our state forests. 

Mike Cooper’s leadership is needed.  The 1997 “fire fighter of the year,” Mike has demonstrated that he can lead a team and act decisively. As a four-term State Representative, Democrat Mike Cooper has proven his ability to work with diverse interests to solve complex natural resource problems. 

Democrat Mike Cooper will place wind farms on state land to create jobs that are needed now and also electricity and revenue for schools, protect jobs in the future by not over cutting trees in the present, and ban the cutting of old-growth trees on state forests.

Do not be fooled by Mike’s opponent. Republican Doug Sutherland wants you to think that he is a moderate, but he is not.  The Republican supports large-scale clear cutting that threatens not only the forests, but also future jobs and revenue from state-owned timber lands.  This should be expected—he has received almost a half million dollars from the timber industry.
