Today makes two full weeks of Doug’s Got to Go posts. Oh yes, I am seeing if the list of Republican State Senator Doug Ericksen’s offensive actions and threats to our planet will take us all the way to Election Day 2018 when we get to fire him. So here we are on day 14, reminding ourselves of an appearance by Senator Erickson on a May 2, 2017 broadcast of Dillon Honcoop’s Morning Show on KGMI. Continue reading →

We are now at a baker’s dozen of Doug’s Got to Go posts. While we fight our way to firing Republican State Senator Doug Ericksen in the November 2018 election, here is this excellent reason for doing so. Below is the opening of this November 2016 Bellingham Herald article. Luckily Senator Ericksen did not succeed in passing this bill that could have served to chill our first amendment rights.

We are now at an even dozen days of Doug’s Got to Go posts and today’s reason that we need to vote Republican State Senator Doug Ericksen out of office is that he is “Very proud to be the State Senator for companies…” Yes, he does say, “for companies that invest back in our Community,” but I do not want a State Senator who represents companies.

11 days and 11 easy reasons now that Doug’s Got to Go.

Today’s reason is that Republican State Senator Doug Ericksen (and our two current 42nd LD Representatives, also up for re-election) voted against a law banning conversion therapy by licensed health care providers on patients under age eighteen, that would spare minors of any sexual identity in our state from this type of abuse.

Day number 10 of the Doug’s Got to Go posts finds us remembering the April of 2017 when 42nd LD constituents were often wondering “Where’s Doug?” I think when it has been, on multiple occasions, so hard to figure out where and when our Republican Senator Doug Ericksen is really working, it’s a sure sign to send him on his way!

Day #9 of Doug’s Got to Go, marks one very frustrating aspect of having Republican Senator Doug Ericksen as a representative: for progressive constituents, his staff throws up serious road blocks to finding out anything you might need to know, and thus to having, with their help, even the most minuscule chance of experiencing representation or counteracting the lack of it.

The day 8 Doug’s Got to Go post is a doozy, because it reminds us how glorious it will be to vote a start-to-finish Trump fan and emmisary out of the state senate office for the 42nd LD. This May 15, 2016 post of Sandy Robson’s also shows Republican Senator Doug Ericksen’s tendency to shirk responsibility for his actions. Continue reading →

Day 7 of Doug’s Got to Go has arrived and we shall celebrate it with being thankful that Republican Senator Doug Ericksen and the two other current 42nd LD representatives were unsuccessful in 2016 in overturning the enforcement by the Washington State Human Rights Commission of the Washington Law Against Discrimination making sure transgender people are protected in using the bathroom that fits their sexual identity.

The Day 6 Doug’s Got to Go post shows Republican Senator Doug Ericksen has consistently been fighting for years to promote more carbon producing projects while fighting against measures that would initiate state-wide steps to discourage the use of fossil fuels. Continue reading →
