Lew, could you elaborate on what you mean by, "both target only David Castillo as their focus"?
If you are trying to imply attacks of a personal nature, I have only heard them speak about the issues and where the different candidates stand on said issues.
As far as differentiating between Hedrick and Herrera, please check this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3A9gjQ162k

Illegal is illegal. Two wrongs don't make a right. Deport. Most of us came to this country through legal immigration. That's the way it should be. If there are illegals in this country who are working or want to work, then yes, give them an immigration application on the way out.

What about the Federal Reserve? Do you trust in them?
A huge amount of money and no transparency or accountability?
Audit the Fed and then get rid of it.

I am firmly Pro-Life. I would like you to know that David Hedrick is completely Pro-Life even in cases of rape and incest. I totally agree. My thought is, "Don't punish the baby, punish the rapist!" I was at an event in mid July at which all three (R) candidates brought flyers, and I compared Hedrick's flyer with the other two. The thing that struck me immediately was Hedrick's flyer had a list of 14 issues and where he stands on them. The issues that the other two candidates had on their flyers were fewer and I had to read through them to see what they stood for. Hedrick's seemed much more transparent. And his flyer states, "Pro-Life - Unapologetically Pro - Life". Please tell your friends.

I am an amatuer photographer and I enjoy hiking in the great Pacific Northwest. I also enjoy riding my bicyle, at least during the warmer months. It saves money on gas, is great exercise, and reduces pollution. I too want to make sure that future generations will be able to enjoy these things.
I want to speak to your statement, "working to build a better society for all." I believe that getting back to the Constitution will accomplish this. I also don't believe in global climate change. I have a degree in computer science, and have never considered myself a "hillbilly". Except that I like to hike in the hills, as mentioned previously.
It's great that people care about the environment. And that is where the responsibility lies. The federal government should not be involved, or at least not nearly as much. We locals can take care of these things much better.
Sorry if I strayed a bit from the original post topic.

I like how you think. We used to have a system for citizens to serve their fellows by holding office. Now we have a lot of politics. It shouldn't be about what party you run with. It should be about whether or not you will vote for what the United States citizens want.
In the interest of full disclosure, I typically vote Republican.

"Sheesh, you have three Conservative Republican ideologues spouting the same disproved policies and beliefs that drove our nations economy into the ditch and drowning in an over trillion dollar debt." -- Tom D Ford
Solutions are more helpful than dissaproval.
Do you agree with Hedrick regarding Cap and Trade? He said that if you believe global warming, then the last thing we want is to drive business overseas where they don't have the emmisions standards that we do here.

I like the green movement. I think it is our responsibility to use our resources wisely and to live in such a way that future generations will still be able to enjoy the unique features of WA and OR. That said, I don't believe in global warming, or climate change, or whtever it's being caled next. I don't think that we need a massive fear that our world is dying to motivate us to make smart choices regarding the evironment. (I know the world Is slowly dying due to entropy.) Teach each generation to care about the next, and because of that, to make smart decisions regarding the environment. When we went on trips my youth pastor would always say, "Leave the place better than when you found it".

I don't profess to know why Social Security was started. I do know that we the people have to keep a close eye on government programs to see if they are actually accomplishing what they are supposed to do. I've heard both parties say that where Social Security is heading is bad. It doesn't matter how long it will take. Once we know that something is not working we have got to start taking steps to transition to a new plan. If we do nothing, we become complicit in the problem. Let's work together toward a new solution.

I firmly believe that our founders knew what they were doing when they put together the United States Constitution. Almost across the board, I have heard people say that our country is in a big mess. I believe that our country's decline can be linked to how far we have strayed from the constitution. I am not alone in this belief.
If we want to know more about what they meant when they said this or that, we should get a copy of The Federalist Papers. (I'm about 95% sure that's the name of the book)
As for David Hedrick knowing the constitution, everything I've heard him say shows that he knows it better than most.

I think there are two very seperate scientific communities and whithin each community there is consensus about this issue, but you are right in saying that there is no debate between the two. I, for one, would like to see a radio or tv debate between the communities, like the one we just listened to.

This was addressed as soon as it was brought up. During the broadcast. It is a contract dispute and in no way is it a "criminal charge" (as stated in the original on-air question). It's pretty bold to call someone a felon without any proof. I don't remember off the top of my head what the definitions of libel and slander are, but please be careful with what you accuse people of.
