Sheriff Garcia usually wears a cowboy hat. Commander Parker, who manages the jail, is pictured with him.
What Is A Constitutional Sheriff And Why Do YOU Need One?
A Constitutional sheriff stands between his citizens and government tyranny by NOT enforcing ANY statute, rule, regulation or mandate that violates the US Constitution or the state constitution.
The difference between a Constitutional sheriff and a non-Constitutional sheriff is easy to discern. A Constitutional sheriff will not obey any laws, rules, regulations or edicts that are in violation of either the US Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, or the state’s constitution. A sheriff that does not respect his residents’ constitutional rights will obey all statutes, rules, regulations and edicts signed by politicians & bureaucrats. He/she will not do any research to determine if his/her actions are constitutional, instead will merely take marching orders from his/her government overlords.
COVID TYRANNY AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL SHERIFFS
During the Covid lockdown, if your sheriff arrested people because they attended church services, he/she is NOT a Constitutional sheriff. One does not need to be a Constitutional scholar to recognize that no politician or bureaucrat has the authority to wipe out one’s First Amendment right to freely exercise his/her religion.
If your sheriff sent deputies to your house because you had “too many guests” in violation of the governor’s or mayor’s or county commissioner’s unconstitutional mandate against private gatherings, he/she is NOT a Constitutional sheriff. Neither the governor nor the mayor nor the county commission nor any politician or bureaucrat has the right to interfere with YOUR right of association (to associate with whomever, whenever, wherever, however you choose) which is guaranteed by the First Amendment: “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.”
DO YOU NEED MORE EXAMPLES?
Do you get the point? Even if your state’s lawmakers have passed a bill and your governor has signed it, if any part of it violates any part of our US Constitution, especially our precious Bill of Rights, or your state’s constitution, a Constitutional sheriff will not enforce it.
The Bluer your state or your city, the more you need the protections afforded by a Constitutional sheriff. The further Left a politician or bureaucrat is, the less respect they have for constitutional rights and for YOU, the ordinary citizen and, thus, you have greater need for a Constitutional sheriff.
Washington Attorney General and Democrat Governor-Elect Bob Ferguson does not see the Bill of Rights as an obstacle to his tyranny. His AG office has written a number of bills during his 12-year tenure which, if passed, chip, chip, chip away at Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press, Freedom of Assembly and Freedom of Religion. Some were passed and signed by Marxist Governor Inslee. An article about one of the most troubling laws can be found linked at the end of this article. It becomes effective July 1, 2025, so all Washingtonians will soon need a Constitutional sheriff.
Sheriff Garcia has stated that he will not harass nor arrest any person the AG Office claims is in violation of this new, unconstitutional statute. THIS is why Democrats, RINOs and Washington’s Deep State have to get rid of him!
SHERIFF DANIEL GARCIA, PACIFIC COUNTY, WASHINGTON
Daniel Garcia was elected as a write-in candidate in November, 2022, with over 61% of the vote, and took office January 1, 2023. He has made no bones about his respect for both the US Constitution and the Washington State Constitution. He has publicly stated many times that, if a statute, rule, regulation or mandate conflicts with either constitution, he will not enforce it. Indeed, the first time I organized and emceed the Peninsula Patriots’ Legislators’ Town Hall (July 2023), Garcia attended and explained to the audience the duties of a Constitutional sheriff.
Garcia views one of his roles as protector of the county’s 27,000 residents, standing between them and government tyranny. Reminding me of how the DC Swamp treated Trump 45, county government snakes have been spying on, cataloguing and undermining Sheriff Garcia’s every move, as he continues to make improvements to every aspect of the sheriff’s office and duties. Indeed, one of them leaks lies and half-truths to the two local newspapers on a regular basis in order to undermine Sheriff Garcia. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
Sheriff Garcia is extremely popular with county residents for many reasons. One reason is because he seeks out our opinions and listens to us. Another reason is because he reinstated patrols in certain areas of the county where they have not existed for years. His entire staff supports him because he has made so many improvements and because he respects them & their ideas. He has increased training, including firearms training. Sheriff Garcia started a cold case unit. To date, they have solved FIVE cold murder cases, one dating back to July 2015.
CHIP, CHIP, CHIPPING AWAY
Defunding Garcia is just one step in Ferguson’s and Democrats’ long range plans to defund all elected sheriffs in Washington State and replace them with Ferguson’s hand-picked lackeys.
The jail was in disrepair for years, and the two previous sheriffs made no attempt to upgrade it. Jail conditions were not only dangerous for inmates (some of the cell doors were hard to unlock), it was dangerous for jail staff, as well. Sheriff Garcia applied for and received a $450,000 remodeling grant from the State of Washington. Construction will soon be completed.
Sheriff Garcia terminated the previous head jailer and replaced him with Commander Inspector Mike Parker (seen in photo above) who recently received an award because his quick action saved an inmate from committing suicide. The county overlords, with no notice to the public and only eight days notice to Sheriff Garcia, issued Parker his severance packet because the head county overlord^ is taking over jail operations and hiring a friend to manage it.
DEFUNDING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL SHERIFF
At a county commissioners’ meeting the day after Christmas the head overlord^ recommended to the three elected commissioners, two Democrats and one RINO, that jail management be transferred five days later, on January 1, 2025. The very small meeting room was packed, standing room only because the commissioners had removed about one-third of the chairs and blocked that space with tables.
This writer, who spoke at the meeting, counted over 80 in-person attendees. In addition, 150 residents attended via Zoom. Another one thousand or so watched the meeting on Facebook. Of the 50 or so who made public comments, ONLY ONE approved of taking jail management away from Sheriff Garcia. With a middle finger to Pacific County residents, all three commissioners voted to take yet another part of his authority away from our Constitutional sheriff.
Stay tuned. As I write this, county residents are gathering to challenge this Marxist transfer of responsibilities from an elected, accountable official to an unelected, unaccountable county overlord. I will write further about Ferguson’s long range plans to defund elected sheriffs and replace them with lackeys he appoints. Also, I will keep my readers updated on the county residents’ revolt against our overlords’ disenfranchisement of voters.
As we import ever more illegals into Sanctuary Washington State, Democrats want to be sure they are comfortable. Giving them free Obamacare, free housing, free food, free everything is not enough! We need to give them special status. How do we do that? During the 2024 legislative session we gave them Super Citizen status by allowing them to work, but not pay into Social Security. And to ensure that Americans don’t hurt their feelings we enacted a new law during the same session that wipes out First Amendment Rights for Americans.
^The unelected county overlord who recommended defunding the sheriff and who will now be in charge of the jail, from his safe and overpaid perch at the county administrative office, is the highest paid county employee, making over $117,000, not counting benefits. This, in a county where the average HOUSEHOLD income is $58,889. It is unknown if his new duties will bring with it an increase in salary.
Last month Washington’s Marxist Governor signed an unconstitutional bill which I quickly wrote about because I wanted to warn both Washingtonians and others. [Oregonians & Californians need to keep an eye on their legislatures. We call these three states COW because they often copy each others’ tyrannical ideas.] I have now had time to ruminate over the new law and believe it to be more Orwellian than it seemed at first glance. I will start by apologizing that I missed a key last minute change to the bill. The Democrats who sponsored the bill removed the $2000 reward a whiner would receive from the taxpayers for turning in an acquaintance or stranger. It was too controversial and too expensive, they claimed.
Too controversial? Too Expensive? But, the rest of this Soviet-style, Chinese Social Credit Score-type, unconstitutional bill was just fine? Really? The Left never accepts defeat. They will eventually find a way to reward haters with our tax dollars and/or money confiscated from the target. After all, one gets what they pay for and The Left wants & needs ever more haters & faux victims to feed the grievance industry.
NEW LAW ESTABLISHES A “PROTECTED CLASS”
This new statute creates & defines a “protected class.” These people are so special that the state must protect their feelings: “race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, or mental, physical, or sensory disability.” National origin and ancestry includes, of course, illegals. The bill defines a “bias incident” as a non-protected person’s “hostile expression of animus” toward a person in the “protected class.”
Since this bill does not define the term “hostile expression of animus,” it is left to the Attorney General’s office to define it. Currently, that overlord is Democrat Bob Ferguson, who is running for governor. He drafted and promoted a failed bill in both the 2023 & 2024 legislative sessions which would throw Conservatives, Christians, Republicans and Trump supporters into deprogramming camps. We can only assume that Bob will interpret this new term to include a frown on the face of a Conservative, Christian, Republican and/or Trump supporter, especially if he/she is “white,” while in the presence of a “protected person.”
Bob wants to terrorize Americans and to drive a wedge between neighbors, friends, co-workers, et al who, when the word gets out about this new law, will be afraid to talk to each other. Indeed, as I write this article, in my mind’s eye I am envisioning a Liberal who lives on my street. She has screamed at me in the distant past* because I made a remark about a presidential policy. This law makes her a “protected person.” I am a “non-protected” person. If I call her a “jackass,” I will wind up on The List.
CREATES “WRONG SPEAK” LIST OF AMERICANS
This new statute clearly states that a “hostile expression of animus” is not a crime that can be prosecuted in court. So, why does the bill require local law enforcement to get involved? To terrorize Americans? I believe the main reason for this bill is to allow the State of Washington to create a list of Americans which can be used against them in a multitude of ways. When a person applies for a government job, will that agency first check The List before hiring? When applying for an electrician’s license will the applicant be denied because he/she is on The List? Will a person on The List be denied Section 8 Housing even though he/she qualifies? My mind goes wild with all the possibilities how The List could be used and abused.
Imagine this:
The local sheriff’s deputy^ shows up at your home to question you about a “bias incident” you allegedly committed. The statute prohibits him from telling you who reported you. You stand there with a dumb look on your face because you don’t have a clue what he is talking about. The deputy is not allowed to answer any questions that may give away who the “Karen” is who called the hotline. Since Karen did not scream at you “BIAS INCIDENT! BIAS INCIDENT!” at the time you “wrongspoke,” you have no idea when, where, who, what, why or how.
You have no way to defend yourself. Your name goes on the state’s The List and remains there until ten years after you die (levity is sorely needed here). If another person turns you in for a different “bias incident” it is anyone’s guess, at this early point in the life of this unconstitutional law, what the Gestapo in the AG’s office will do to you. As I advise everyone if the FBI shows up at your door: When police come to your door, the only words out of your mouth should be “lawyer,” then politely close the door.
Since no crime has been committed, the police cannot arrest you; but, your name will be on a The List until voters kick the Marxist bums out, repeal this law and shred The List.
TYRANNY STARTS JULY 1, 2025
The new law requires the Attorney General’s office to establish a pilot hotline in three counties by July 1, 2025, and in every county by January 1, 2027. AG Bob Ferguson made it clear during this PBS interview that he hates Conservatives, Republicans, Trump supporters and others. No doubt, he is hard at work as I write this to interpret this statute in the most fascist, unconstitutional way his weasley little brain can conjure up.
The Progressives & Marxists who sponsored this bill say it is intended to help “victims of hate crimes” before a crime even happens. Say what? In reality, SB 5427 would create a database of innocent Americans, undermine legitimate criminal investigations, and freeze, not just chill, speech & the press in Washington State. People will stop talking to others and writing to others except very close friends & relatives, for fear a Karen will report them to Washington’s version of the Gestapo. And what about posts on social media?
What about public meetings, such city council meetings or school board meetings or county commissioner meetings? Both elected officials and the public will not be able to speak freely for fear someone will call the “bias hotline.” As I read the bill, I see nothing in it that prohibits a third party from calling the hotline to complain that he/she heard a “non-protected” person criticize a “protected” person.
And I can’t even imagine what this will do to the The Press in the State of Washington. I see nothing in this new law that excludes writers, editors, columnists, reporters from being targeted.
STATS SHOW FEW “HATE CRIMES”
This law is not needed because Washington State has virtually no “hate crimes” among a population of 7.7 million: police reported 590 hate crimes to the FBI for 2022, of which 63% were related to race, ethnicity or ancestry, while 18% were related to sexual orientation and 10% were related to religion.. In 2021 the number was 651. Although Black Lives Matter riots destroyed downtown Seattle in 2020 there were only 462 reported “hate crimes.”
Yes, this statute violates at least the following constitutional rights: 1) The right to confront your accuser; 2) Freedom of Speech; 3) Freedom of Thought, which is implied in the First Amendment; 4) Freedom of Religion; 5) Freedom of the Press, to name a few that quickly come to mind. Once it works its way up to the US Supreme Court it will be outlawed. In the meantime, how many “notches on their Gestapo gun belts” will the Karens of Washington State rack up?
