Tax exempt non-profits can't engage in Politics. Since the tea parties are political I'd have questions.

Goldy, minor pedantic detail, but the issue is not that the women were praying at the wall but that they were wearing prayer shawls and Tefillin. Women have been and are currently allowed in their own little section to the left. Wearing the religious articles was the step too far. From the pictures they still are in the women's section (Back of the bus). When people have bar mitzvahs at the western wall the female family have to watch by peeking over a divider from the women's section.

This is a step in the right direction but not there yet.

Both Microsoft and Vulcan are repeat donors. Wonder if they are proud of that.

I love the idea but let's focus on those who have actually donated money to Hewitt. The WA PDC has a searchable database and this is the shortened url to Mike's 2012 race donors:

The list includes lots of people who probably care what you think including:

Progressive Insurance, Allstate Insurance, Anheuser Busch, Hood river Distillery, Seattle Mariners, Enterprise Rent a car, Kroger, Public School employees Union, BECU, Washington Teamsters.

Peruse the list and find your own favorites. If you click on the far left column it includes some contact info. Be respectful but I'm sure that companies like Progressive Insurance would like to know that Mike Hewitt isn't so progressive.

I have to wonder about the source of the scrutiny of Bobb's expense accounts. At first it made him look like a gold-digger, and then after the explanations came out he looked more reasonable. I suppose if your are going to go after the man you should have your shit in order.

Its probably the work of Idaho Power, the power company that thinks they are so great a state was named after them. They have a lot of money and power and are known for throwing there weight around in opposition to wind power.

Urgutha, I generally support what your saying, but you are implying a little more than is there with those studies. The results were a strong correlation, not 100%. Nothing in social sciences is 100%. Many variables, like in Milgram, proximity to shock victim, proximity to "authority" etc. effected results. Maybe, because of the late hour you got a little fundamentalist in your thinking, and went to far.

Just because a few Vantuky hillbillies have said they don't want CRC with light rail ("OMG the train will bring black people from Portland!!!!") doesn't mean that most people from Vancouver are opposed to it.
