“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

October meeting: The Resurgence of Local Governance

From Martha:
 Good Morning,
"It is worth noting that while Washington continues its dysfunctional behavior, city and state governments are starting to act responsibly. This has happened in spite of party divisions. That success is a reflection of just how strong the people in this country are. Very plainly, the cure from our woes will come from the American people on a local level, not the federal bureaucrats." 
Yes, it starts at the local level. Be sure to come to our meeting tomorrow evening and meet city council and school board candidates Brad and Veronica Sandau and hear from our local officials about Walla Walla's budgeting process.
