RIP Grampa 5/23/26 In this episode we talk about how we can create policy to protect our elders and stop the economic erosion that is coming from predatory scamming industry.

In this episode we display compromise within the political system. When a local political organization decided to display Senate candidates they forgot to invite me. So as a compromise we decided to allow me to record my own responses to the questions asked of my fellow candidates. The road forward will have less opportunities for our campaign as we won't have the support of Corporate parties and their many advantages. We will have to collaborate to make our voices heard.

In this episode we talk about Housing policy and a deeper philosophy to address the systemic failures which have lead to such a destabilized society. Politicians talk a bunch about how they will fix things but rarely develop plans and execute them. Here we are "About the action boss!" - Marshawn Lynch

In this episode of Ryes Up, we take on the cycle no one seems willing to break—recycling the same candidates, the same talking points, and the same results… while expecting something different.This isn’t about personalities—it’s about a system that rewards predictability over progress. And if we’re honest, it’s not working.We dig into what it means to step outside of party-line politics, challenge the status quo, and actually listen to the people who live here—not the playbook handed down from the top.Because this campaign isn’t here to fit the mold—it’s here to break it.If you’re ready for something real, something accountable, and something built with the community instead of around it—this conversation is for you.We don’t need another version of the same. We need a different path forward. And it starts here.RyanBowman4Senate.com This episode is sponsored by Ryan Bowman for Senate

Our Federal Government established a Poverty Guideline in the 60's. We still use that same metric over 60 years later. Does it hold water, can it be that we've changed how we live enough to need to raise that bar? Let us discuss :)

In this episode we will discuss the growing concerns over Housing. Why is it considered a crisis when we have over 250,000 vacant homes in Washington State alone? Is this crisis a philosophical problem more than a supply issue? Are we being lead to this conclusion by those who seek to profit or by honest analysis?

Aloha, in this episode we will be discussing the City of Bellingham's actions regarding the Post Point Incinerator and how compliance and leadership are not necessarily the same thing. Spending millions on an outdated system to stay in compliance or rising up to the occasion and innovating for futuristic solutions. Join the conversation and help us Rise Up Better Together!

In this quick episode we talk about how Political Campaign Resources are spent, how they actionably show the will of the Candidate, and how we might want to see changes in this as we Ryes Up to a better expectation of our Politics.

This is where we talk about the money behind the county. How it is budgeted, managed, distributed, and the things we might want to address with transparency.

Aloha and welcome as we delve into the second Article of the Whatcom County Charter. These episodes are going to be more direct and straightforward with some minor opinion from myself at times. We are looking to expand our community understanding of our power as a County. We the People of Whatcom County are set up to lead. Will we?

I'm running for local office on the Whatcom County Charter Review Commission Board for District 4 in Washington State. So I figured we could go over the entire Charter piece by piece over a set of episodes. Lets talk about how we set up the future generations for success.

FDR brought with him a New Deal. In this deal was a program called the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC). This emergency employment program was federally funded and was highly successful. So I imagined a new program based off this concept. Hear me out and let us discuss how we learn from our past for the present solutions that are needed today.

Hydrogen energy is not the answer to our fuel needs. We make these decisions out of fear from our mistakes and we compound those mistakes with near sighted reaction. Follow me through a discussion as to why Hydrogen energy should be Banned immediately.

This episode was recorded late 2023 but still holds relevance due to the nature that the Metal Shredder is still being proposed. The fight to end that proposal rages on. Help us stop non-sense in our communities.

This episode may be triggering as it deals with some sensitive topics. Please engage if you should choose but remain decent and cordial with your commentary.

What do we value as a society? How does that align with our priorities? What does that say about our priorities? Do we even value human life if we don't protect the vital necessities for human life? We discuss value with this episode. What it means, where we have our values set today, and why it doesn't add up to us having value for even our own lives. Join us as we ponder this in hopes of improving our priorities.  Please write into [email protected] with any questions comments or thoughts.

This episode addresses the Culture of American society which enables Bullies to succeed. Why do we do this? What can we do to be better for tomorrow so that those that seek justice can find it easier than those that seek to harm? Today's system is made up of loopholes for the rich to avoid taxes, criminals to avoid punishment based on technicalities, and the court of public opinion to alter the facts. Can we discuss this and find a means to a better way? Join me as I start to breach the topic with personal examples along with social ones.

Episode One with Aaron Bean. Today we focus on Incentivized Politics and how implementing these ideas could bring the power to the people. Unshackling the Change Makers from their monetary ties to Corporations and Lobbyist funds. Tie their salary to the average yearly income of the people. Incentivizing minimum wage increase and raising the middle class so they can also receive a raise. Personal and family use of public schools, public health care and public transport. This way they feel the fear of a school shooting, they know the difficulties of the healthcare system and they can see the need for better infrastructure. Listen in and hear more ideas that can help incentivize our decision makers to help us all Ryes Up. Please leave comments and suggestions. Like share post to build this conversation. We Deserve Better and together we will get it. 

Welcome to Rye's Up. This is My Perspective. I'm excited to hear Yours.
