First Step Taken!

Well, well, well, the first step has been taken to repeal the 9 cent gas tax! YEAH!! Kirby Wilbur & John Carlson just announced at the top of the 8:00am hour on 570 KVI in Seattle that the goals had been reached to justify moving on with the repeal of the gas tax!

Goal - $25,000
In Hand - Over $80,000

Goal - 2,500 volunteers
Actual - Over 6,000

But now, the tough part. Writing, submitting the initiative and then acquiring the signatures - over 250,000 of them. And to make things even tougher, due to the red tape involved in getting an initiative on the ballot, petitions will not be available until the end of May, which leaves only about 5 weeks to collect the necessary signatures.

We need to keep the heat on, and keep up the enthusiasm up until we can actually get the petitions in hand.

Stay tuned, this may be one for the record books.
