ADVOCACY NOTEBOOK:
Request The Commission On Presidential Debates To Allow Gary Johnson And Jill Stein Into The Presidential Debates
We, the undersigned, demand that the Federal Government voice our concern to The Commission on Presidential Debates - that the Presidential debates should include all Presidential candidates who have qualified for enough state ballots to have a mathematical chance of winning the election.
Polls show that 50% of Americans do not identify as either Democrat or Republican. This means that the Presidential debates as currently managed are locking out the diverse voices and views of half of all Americans.
Voters have a right to hear directly from their possible choices for the highest office in the land. These choices should reflect the diversity of American political opinion, and not be restricted to two candidates nominated by establishment parties awash in corporate donations. ---petition link

Last night the city council made a move towards making amends to the citizens of Port Angeles in approving sending a new advisory vote to the voters coming next year. Something I have been advocating for years. Today's question is: Do you think putting this issue to the voters will settle this issue once and for all?

When Will Jesus Return?
The Bible clearly states that Jesus will come again (Acts 1:9-11). Many religious groups have tried to determine when He will return. Some said 1914 and then 1918. Others said 1975, then 2000. All such attempts have obviously failed, yet people continue to speculate. What does the Bible say?---Gospel Way
