On that very issue, there was a King County councilman who wanted to tax garage sales. Those years, my hobby was going to garage sales. Guys name was Dave Mooney. Called all my friends (this was late 60's/early 70's era before going to work) and asked them to call 10 people to tell them and to call the KC Office...and to have each of those 10 call 10, etc.... Within less than two weeks, there were SO many calls to the KC Office and to Mooney's office, the issue died, and to date it hasn't been brought up again. Don't ever underestimate the power of one. Especially if that one is an incensed one!!! ALL of our Government needs to understand this carefully: "That government is best which governs least" Henry David Thoreau An aphorism sometimes attributed to either Thomas Jefferson or Thomas Paine, "That government is best which governs least", actually was first found in this essay.[4] Thoreau was paraphrasing the motto of The United States Magazine and Democratic Review: "The best government is that which governs least."[5] 4. ^ Spurious Quotes, Thomas Jefferson Library, accessed March 22, 2008 5. ^ Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations. 1989, Bartleby.com, accessed April 4, 2006 en.wikipedia.org
