Announcing my candidacy for the House

Steve Robinson's picture
It's a real pleasure to announce my candidacy for the State House of Representatives, District 22, Position 1. As someone who raised my family in this community, I love this area and the people who live here. My priorities are to do everything in my power to help create sustainale jobs here, support advances in quality education and public safety and to protect the enviroment for our children. I have acquired 40 years of pertinent experience in state, federal and tribal governance, business and communications and I have the ability and heart needed to become a state legislator without missing a beat. I invite you to ask me any questions and provide any input to me through this blog or by emailing me at Water4fish@comcast.net.

Kill the Senate Health Care Bill

We Democrats stand on the verge of ushering in a world of nearly unregulated mandates, in which we're all forced by the state to hand over our money to failed private monopolies, with no cost control in return. Without a public option and no hope of expanding Medicare coverage, this bill is not worth supporting. I've asked Cantwell and Murray to vote against the Lieberman insurance company welfare act. We'll have to live another day to try to correct the injustice, waste, inefficiency, and unfairness of our current health care system. Nine months wasted. What a shame.

Thanks to Baird and Smith

Thanks to both our reps for voting NAY on the Stupak amendment. Unfortunately it still passed. Here's to hoping we can get rid of this assault on women's rights and health when the bill goes to reconciliation.

Health Care Reform: Reality or Sham?

I followed the last legislative session in Washington State with much hope and ended with nothing but despair. If I understand correctly, we have a Democratic governor, a Democratic senate, and a Democratic house of representatives. Yet, when all the dust settled, the same people who would have been disenfranchised by the Republicans ended up carrying the brunt of all the cuts enacted by a Democratic State Government. Why then should I trust that Democrats will do better on a federal level? I greatly fear that the pharmaceutical industry and the insurance industry with its myriad lobbyists will end up warping any attempt at health care reform so that it will resemble the "reform" that Washington State has enacted this last year.In other words, health care reform will overlook the needs of those who have no voice: children, the disabled, and the elderly. Can someone please persuade me differently? I want to believe, but so far have seen nothing but empty promises from the Democrats in power in Washington State.

Swiftboating Health Care

Organizing for America


We knew healthcare reform would face fierce opposition -- and it's begun. As we speak, the same people behind the notorious "swiftboat" ads of 2004 are already pumping millions of dollars into deceptive television ads. Their plan is simple: torpedo healthcare reform before it sees the light of day by scaring the public and distorting the President's approach.

We need the resources to take them head on with an urgent, grassroots campaign to pass real healthcare reform in 2009.

When the swiftboaters flood the airwaves with distortions, we'll flood the streets with volunteers armed with facts. When they send lobbyists to tell Congress to back down, we'll send millions of calls, letters, and stories from real Americans asking them to stand up.

Can you donate $25 or more by midnight Sunday to fight back against these phony attacks and take our message of reform to the American people?

Donate $25 or more by midnight Sunday


The swiftboaters are once again trying to sell the American people short. As during the election, we deserve a serious conversation -- not fear-mongering and deceit. You and I see the importance of healthcare reform every day. We can't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to face one of America's greatest challenges head on.

Passing real healthcare reform will be the toughest, most important challenge we've faced together since electing Barack Obama President.

But it's also a big reason we fought so hard to get here. I know that by working together, and speaking with one, determined voice, we can prevail over the cynics and defenders of the status quo. America's families are counting on us to do just that.
