Hello NWCitizens!

Riley here. Wednesday night, I had the pleasure of attending the Tea Party forum and it was a doozy.

Check out my write-up about the federal candidates here

Enjoy.

Riley, being the very polite guy he is, asked about putting up this link and promo piece. Well, I’m delighted to have NWCitizen readers linked to his fine writing and perspectives.

Riley sometimes writes for NWCitizen, but mostly he is working hard on his Political Junkie blog. He is under 30 and I’m over 70 - and I think he is the future of good political information for our Whatcom community. I wish we had even 2 or 3 others like him. We need more citizens who are willing to attend meetings, interview public persons, and write with a point of view.
