Friends,
                                  
                  
              Let’s get right to the chase – we were so busy updating you on the Democrats’ legislative
session shenanigans that we neglected our operational work. That’s why we are still $3,950 away from reaching our end-of-month fundraising
goal. 
                                  
                                                         
         
                                 Independent communications sources like Shift
WA perform a needed role in our state. We're the only outlet working daily to hold Democrats accountable for their failed agenda – you simply
cannot trust mainstream media outlets to do the same. They proved just that during the most recent session. 
                               
  
                                 The 2023 legislative session was a train wreck.
Democrats passed a record amount of spending and raised taxes. They also prevented police from pursuing car thieves and – shockingly
–legalized all drugs in our state by failing to take action to fix the so-called “Blake decision”.
                            
     
                                 Adding insult to injury, Democrats like Jay
Inslee are pointing their fingers at Republicans who – throughout the entire 2023 session – were shut out of policy talks and budget
negotiations. And mainstream media outlets allowed them to get way with their gaslighting. 
                                  
                                         
                         
                                 Your contribution makes a
measurable difference in our ability to keep our readers informed on what’s going on in their own backyard.
                               
  
                                 Thank you,
