		The Northwest Territories were once defined by the slogan “Fifty Four Forty or Fight.” Now, over a hundred years later, the citizens of Washington State and the rest of the Northwest are involved in another important struggle to take back our government for the people.
		But as we prepare for this battle to define the direction our country will take, not just for the next four years, but far into the future we, like the minutemen of old, find ourselves far outnumbered when it comes to the financial resources to wage such a fight.
		It is up to us who still have jobs to fight for the millions of our countrymen and women who have lost their's in the past three years.

		Four years after their viciously fought battle in the 1992 Democratic presidential primary, Bill Clinton is in the White House while Jerry Brown lives in a west Oakland warehouse-turned-left activist lair.
		The four years since his last race have been kind to Brown the man. His now-buzzcut silver-and-fl hair has receded to near-nonexistence, but the familiar hawklike nose and focused gaze make him a still formidably intense presence, a bit like Captain Picard crossed with your favorite college professor.
		One of Brown's more appealing traits has always been his willingness to say openly that he doesn't have all the answers, as when he describes the difficulty of fighting the hydra-headed corporate beast he rails against: "It's very hard, but it may be that as the supply lines expand, space may open for local initiative.

		The first four songs sound like instant hits, and will insure them major label status, while every other song is plodding, tiresome filler.
		Take "You Live With Your Parents" -- sure, it's an interesting concept for their genre, but nearly half of the song's interminable hundred and fifty seconds are taken up by the vocalist singing its title in a nagging, nasal voice, as if he was a neo-punk suburbanite.

		POINT ROBERTS, WA--"Fifty-four forty or fight!" made a fine slogan a century and a half ago, but the Yankee proponents of 54 degrees, 40 minutes as the northern boundary of the western United States lost their battle to claim the coastline from Puget Sound to southeast Alaska.
		Since the headwaters of the river are in Washington, the flood gave rise to charges that upstream logging aggravated the flooding.
		Besides that occasional overflow, four creeks cross the border - two tributaries of the Nooksack, and two separate drainages.
