Gov. Chris Gregoire and the Democrats in the Legislature’s insatiable thirst for our money knows no bounds. They are raising taxes on everything in sight: gasoline, soda pop, candy, bottled water – you name it, they’ll tax it.

And now she is proposing the most despicable tax of all; an increase in the tax on beer! So to all of you that voted for Gregoire and all the other tax-and-spend Democrats, I propose a toast, “May you see the error of your ways and repent by signing a I-1053 petition and by voting these bums out next chance we get.”
