If passed, Referendum 71 will uphold Washington state's "everything but marriage" domestic partnership law, which was passed by the state Senate in March, passed by the state House in April, and signed into law by Governer Gregoire in May of 2009.

194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion conducts
convoy live-fire at Story Range, Republic of Korea.
Story and photos by Edward Johnson
IMCOM-Korea Public Affairs
PANMUNJOM - With weapons at the ready, members of 194th Combat
Sustainment Support Battalion set out at dawn to conduct convoy
live-fire training here, March 25.
The fast-paced exercise exposed Soldiers to many of the real-world
perils found on today's asymmetric battlefield, culminating in a series
of drills designed to hone their skills in reacting to road-side bombs
and enemy small-arms fire.
"These Soldiers have been training for the past six months to prepare
for this day and their hard work is evident in the outstanding
performance I've seen throughout the battalion," said Command Sgt. Maj.
Nichelle S. Fails.
At times gritty and intense, the Soldiers worked in teams to zero in on
enemy targets with their rifles and machine guns.
"This scenario is interesting and very realistic," said Pvt. Jiwoo Kim,
a KATUSA assigned to the battalion.
Pvt. Dylan Florres, a battalion mechanic and one of the day's enemy
combatant role-players, sees the training as realistic and a good way to
build unit cohesion. "What we are doing is basically helping Soldiers
learn how to train safely and work as a team," he said.
"Everybody is highly motivated and ready to fight," said Chief Warrant
Officer 4 Joseph Williams, HHC, 194th Combat Support Sustainment
Battalion, safety officer. "Taking care of our Soldiers is very
important, we don't want any injuries. That's why we do risk assessments
and go over all of the details to make this a very safe, yet realistic,
training environment."
Master Sgt. Kenneth Ashley, the day's pyrotechnics NCO, described the
training as important in building teamwork within the battalion. "Here
in Korea and in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, we need to make sure
our Soldiers know how to react under fire and to ensure they are
prepared for anything the enemy throws at them."

Why Support Gen44 and the DNC?
• The DNC is the political arm of the White House.
The DNC has three main goals: to support the President’s agenda, build the national party’s infrastructure, and elect Democrats at all levels of government. The DNC is working hard to support the President as he enacts an ambitious agenda that is getting our economy moving again and changing the way things in Washington get done. By helping the President succeed, we know we are helping Democratic candidates and Democratic leaders in every state. The 2012 elections are an important chapter in our continued efforts to build a better America. We work closely with the DSCC, DCCC, DGA, and other Democratic groups to get Democrats elected at all levels of government.
One of the primary focuses of the DNC is helping to fight back against attacks from the right and get the truth out about what Republicans really stand for, which is Wall Street, not Main Street.
• The DNC thinks nationally and acts locally.
The DNC is committed to supporting Democrats at every level in all 50 states. Building on the successful 50-state strategy and utilizing the talent and strategies developed during the Obama For America Campaign, Organizing for America was born. Organizing for America (OFA) is the grassroots project of the Democratic National Committee dedicated to building support for President Obama’s agenda for change. OFA’s network of volunteers and staff is actively working at the grassroots level in all 50 states to promote the President’s proposals to strengthen America’s middle class by creating jobs, passing health insurance reform, building a clean energy economy, improving education, and reining in the excesses of Wall Street. OFA is actively involved in electing allies the President can count on in Congress to pass his agenda.
• The DNC is creating a long-term infrastructure for positive change.
Throughout the last year, the Democratic National Committee has made long-term investments to grow the Democratic Party in all 50 states. We work closely with Democratic state parties and committees, Organizing for America, campaigns, and Democratic activists. Thanks to our investments and work on the ground, we are in strong shape going into the November elections and will mount an aggressive effort in campaigns across the company. There is no doubt there will be many tough races, but the infrastructure we have in place has put us in a strong position heading towards November.

We have created a support spinning bowl that has combined the efficiency of a ceramic surface with the stability of a wide beautiful wooden base. Our ceramic bowl measures 1 3/4 inches in diameter, and the myrtlewood base is 3 1/4 inches in diameter. The wooden base has been adorned by Dave with pyrography (burn etching). Four felt dots on the back keep the wood from scratching other hard surfaces.
