LIBERTY ALERTS:
The Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Schools has sent out notification that all school districts are to begin offering educational opportunity to their students through online and other creative actions.
It is a great concern to many that our children, our students, are taking a huge hit on their education and what the ramifications will be to them, our schools, and ensuring that these students are able and capable of moving on to the next grade level.
Today’s program features Elizabeth Hanson, ESSL teaching at Shoreline Community College and Gary McGill, representing the Whatcom County Homeschool Assoc. They will share their knowledge on how families can best manage and cope under these extraordinary circumstances.
Is there a plan and will it work?
Special guest, State Senator Mark Schoesler (R), state senate minority leader, will discuss the Republican plan for reopening and how small businesses will be affected. Is there hope for the economic future of Whatcom County or Washington State?

LIBERTY ALERTS:
Common Threads NW and The Fourth Corner are co-sponsoring a candidate forum with the Republican candidates for Governor. The forum has been scheduled for June 18th, 2020 at the Port of Bellingham’s, Harbor Center Room. The forum will run from 7 – 9 pm and will be aired lived on KGMI, TVW, YouTube and other media platforms (to be announced later). Mark your calendars because this is an important race for our state. Gov. Inslee has proven that he does not value “all” small businesses equally. The thousands of business owners and their staff need someone that represents them in Olympia and values their contribution to our state and local economies.
COMMON CENTS:
Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.

He who gives his freedom for safety gets none of them. Thomas Jefferson
He that is secure is not safe. Benjamin Franklin
We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately. Benjamin Franklin
Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. Benjamin Franklin
Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out. Benjamin Franklin
Distrust and caution are the parents of security. Benjamin Franklin
Where liberty is, there is my country. Benjamin Franklin
