Citizen Rebuke

Now is the time, time is short, no time like the present, delay no longer, the cliche's are endless, but time to get the gas tax reversed is now.

At the same time that Judge Bridges was revealing his decision on the election contest, a Thurston County judge approved the proposed ballot title changes requested by the NoNewGasTax.com people. Immediately, the petitions began printing, and were mailed Monday to over 11,000 volunteers and soon thereafter, were available at FedEx/Kinko stores across the state.

That was the good news, the bad news was that the firm that stands to make millions from the issuing of the bonds to fund the projects had successfully delayed the process for a week. While that may not seem like much, that delay left about 30 days to acquire over 280,000 signatures in order to get the Initiative on the November ballot. A difficult task, no doubt, but not impossible.

Please visit the site, get a petition and get signatures, or at least just sign a petition, your help is needed to veto this slap in the face of the people of the State of Washington.
