This was the most intense week of my life. I was on the witness stand getting grilled for 2 hours on Tues, 7 hours on Wed, and 1 hour on Thurs. Brutally stressful. But it gave us a chance to highlight how fundamentally flawed the AG's claims are. Tomorrow I'll provide...

It is blatantly illegal for governments to use taxpayer money to oppose a ballot measure. It is a clear violation of RCW 42.17A.555. The $30 Tabs Initiative I-976 was approved by voters on November 5, 2019. It was to become law 30 days later on December 5. Prior to...

Inslee imposed 4 "emergency" tax increases during the 2020 legislative session.It's important to confront him whenever he steps out of line. Even though the Constitution guarantees the people the right to referendum (collect signatures to put a new law on the ballot...

The people are on our side -- the 9 judges on the state supreme court are not. Taxpayers are forced to pay each of them a salary of $220,320 this year. For that much, we deserve an explanation. Our motion for reconsideration required them to reconsider their absurd...

The South Dakota Governor didn’t shut down her state — she didn’t go with fines, jail time, mandates, or dictates. She didn’t send in SWAT teams or the AG. She’s not requiring citizens to wear masks. She’s relying on the common sense and personal responsibility of...

As reported last week, here's what Democrat AG Bob Ferguson claims is the cost to taxpayers so far for the persecution of me and my family so far: $1,577,479.73 OVER $1.5 MILLION Again, that's more than all other reporting cases in the past 7 years combined!His...

2 years ago, the Everett Herald reported that the cost to taxpayers for the AG's persecution of me and my family was nearing $1 million.That was 2 years ago. So in October 2020, I and some in the media submitted a legally binding public records request to AG Bob...

It's not over -- the fight continues!At the outset of Seattle's lawsuit against our $30 Tabs Initiative, AG Bob Ferguson was sabotaging our defense. That's when King County Judge Marshall Ferguson sided with the opponents of the initiative.It was only due to superstar...

I'm extremely fortunate that my attorney -- former supreme court justice Richard Sanders -- has the guts to represent me against the Attorney General (AG) in this case. Nearly 2 years ago, the AG bullied my previous attorney off the case. For almost a year after that,...

Just when you thought AG Bob Ferguson couldn't get any sleazier, he gets sleazier. It's been 8 long, brutal years of investigation, litigation, and persecution of me and my family. The AG has repeatedly delayed the trial date: from Nov 2018, to Jan 2020, to July 2020,...

All 9 corrupt judges on the Seattle Supreme Court made a political decision, not a judicial one. All 9 ignored their oath of office. All 9 ignored their proper role in our system of government. All 9 ignored the clear and unambiguous language of Initiative 976. All 9...

Voters were not confused. It's maddening that the supreme court ruled that we were confused about our $30 Tabs Initiative.  We were not.  We knew exactly what we were voting on when we passed Initiative 976 last year. But Seattle's lawyers said that AG Bob Ferguson's...

In 2012, candidate Inslee repeatedly promised he'd veto any tax increase.  That turned out untrue. In fact, you could say he lied. Repeatedly. THAT'S A LOT. How much did Inslee take from taxpayers in his 8 years as Governor? $52.1 billion. He promised he'd veto taxes...

HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF. 57 years ago, there was another governor who blocked children from being educated. ​ That was June 11, 1963. Fast forward to now. Last Friday, May 1st, the federal government gave all 50 states the green light to reopen. But instead of...

In 20+ years of political activism, I’ve never seen a bunch of politicians show this much ignorance about our God-given rights. These anti-2A provisions clearly violate the US Constitution and our state Constitution. It is beyond scary. The quotes below are taken...

Join me in protecting the 2nd Amendment  An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. With a vote on two emergency ordinances Monday evening in Bellingham, I ask everyone to send emails to the city’s mayor and council members and tell them to strike these anti-2A...

In less than a day, an avalanche of emails from Pro-2A Patriots has slammed Bellingham's mayor and city council members (I also receive them so I know it's a ton). It's in response to yesterday's update: They're overwhelmed with regular citizens asking them to do...

Our lives, our livelihoods, and our liberty are on the line.   While all of us are trying to figure out how to deal with things right now, coronavirus has shown a nasty side-effect among politicians and the media: “Do something disease.” Politicians never fail to...

No wonder Jay Inslee’s public approval numbers are plummeting. Voters overwhelmingly passed I-976 and instead of implementing $30 Tabs, Jay Inslee is blocking them. Millions of vehicle owners are being forced to pay taxes and fees eliminated by the initiative, and Jay...

Look closely, I’m actually a person:   Bob Ferguson’s 7-year litigation against and persecution of me and my family took an Orwellian turn today. There was a hearing on the AG’s motion to declare / find / hold / rule that I, Tim Eyman personally, am a political...

3 times the voters have passed initiatives lowering vehicle costs. The election results for Initiative 976 showed overwhelming public support: • Statewide voters: 53% yes• King County voters outside Seattle: 52% yes• Snohomish County voters: 58% yes• Pierce County...

When it comes to defending I-976, Bob Ferguson has purposely sabotaged the King County case (didn’t file for change of venue, didn’t affidavit this Jay-Inslee-appointed judge, didn’t do motion for reconsideration, wrote the ballot title the judge took issue with, and...

​A Jay Inslee appointed judge said voters “may have been confused” by Initiative 976 and put $30 tabs on hold. He didn’t say voters were confused — for that, the judge would need to receive sworn declarations from over 100,000 voters who would swear under penalty of...

On Sunday, I asked all of you to send emails to Inslee and legislators demanding $30 Tabs now. They are getting buried! There's been an overwhelming response. They need to hear from you. Today (Mon, Jan 13) is opening day of the legislative session. So it's critical...

Yesterday, an Elway poll came out showing nearly 60% of voters outside King County disapprove of Jay Inslee's job performance. It's not a mystery why. As he runs for a 3rd term, voters are tired of a Governor who calls them stupid, says they were confused when they...

BOB FERGUSON SABOTAGED I-976 FROM WITHIN Sen. Steve O'Ban was right - Bob Ferguson couldn't be trusted to defend I-976 because of his obvious conflicts (pro-Sound Transit, anti-Eyman, obvious no vote on I-976). Now we know why he explicitly refused to recuse himself...

PERSISTENCE 1648 didn't make it. The stakes are too high and the costs too great for any of us to waste time on the various stages of grief (denial, anger, depression, acceptance).   Instead, we must embrace the U.S. Marines' motto: improvise, adapt, and overcome.  ...

In 2007, 2010, 2012, and 2015, the voters passed several of our tax initiatives and each one required an automatic advisory vote on any new taxes created during each year's legislative session. So if Olympia unilaterally imposes a tax increase, the voters in November...

They say in politics:  "you can't create emotion, you can only tap into what's already there."  There is an enormous amount of resentment and animosity and opposition to this year's legislative session.It's there.Initiative 1648 is catching fire because of that...

Politicians don't respond to subtle.Olympia doesn't change when we're polite. The only way to "move" the Legislature is to be emphatic. Initiative 1648 is that:  emphatic!It kills off all 11 tax hikes imposed by the 2019 Legislature.That isn't subtle and it's...

Cary Condotta has gone full circle. For 14 years, he was a member of state house representing the citizens of Chelan and surrounding areas. But before that, he was one of the original "kamikazes", one of the key leaders for the Initiative 695 and 747 signature drives...

I-1648 requires all the Democrats new taxes to expire as soon as the initiative becomes law (we vote on Nov 5 and the initiative takes effect on Dec 5). All future tax hikes expire after one year.I-1648's "term limits on new taxes" only apply to tax hikes imposed by...

Ward Connerly is an American heroWhat an amazing 24 hours: Political activism involves slogging through swamps and sludge and muck. It's messy and ugly and gross. But every once in a while, you find that perfect moment, that mountaintop that makes it all worth it.I...

The rigged and corrupt Salary Commission got away with it.They got away with it: the Salary Commission sabotaged our Give Them Nothing referendum and the Secretary of State, backed up by the Attorney General and I'm sure any judge who'd decide it, are going along with...

The rigged, corrupt Salary Commission is trying to sabotage our historic and popular referendum -- Give Them Nothing. There's ONLY one question that matters:Will Secretary of State Kim Wyman go along with it?Here's my email to her on Monday:To: Secretary of State Kim...

So I trekked down to Olympia for an 8:00 am hearing to testify against the Democrats' income tax bill.I had 90 seconds. I wore my $30 Tabs t-shirt because it shows that the people have the power to overturn taxes. We've overturned skyrocketing car tab taxes (and we're...

In 2010, voters overwhelmingly rejected Initiative 1098 and its' imposition of a new state income tax.  Voters crushed it at the ballot box with a 64.15% NO vote.  It lost in every single county, including King.           Nonetheless, last week, every House Democrat...

I am completely flabbergasted at the result of today's hearing. It is truly insane. No where in state law, the state Constitution, or the U.S. Constitution is the government allowed to restrict the free speech rights of a citizen like what the AG is proposing for me. ...

I ask for your prayers this morning -- today at 9am, court hearing on Lifetime Ban I ask for your prayers this morning.  Send as much positive energy as you can.  What's going to happen is not in my hands -- I just need to trust that things will turn out the way...

Let's pack the room on Friday.The stakes are enormously high:  can Ferguson impose a lifetime ban on my future political activities?  That's what this hearing will decide. As you can imagine, the pressure is intense, my stress level is sky-high.Day: Friday, April...

We had originally planned to launch TODAY the signature drive for our new "We Don't Want An Income Tax Initiative."  But over the weekend, we decided to switch gears and do it as an initiative to the legislature.   2 reasons this is better:  1)  When the Democrats...

Permanent Offense baby! 1)  We Don't Want An Income Tax Initiative: Monday we launch the signature drive for I-1650.  It not only blows up the Democrats' capital gains income tax and the Seattle City Council's income tax, but it stops ALL future income tax schemes. ...

Let's toss the idea of an income tax in our state once and for all. Yes, that's me 32 years ago tossing a guy twice my size at a WAZZU fraternity event. It's a perfect metaphor for what we can do together:Let's toss the Democrats' Holy Grail: An Income Tax in...

Longtime lead counsel in AG's office tells process server: "I wasn't fired." She'll be in court on Friday @ 9:00am where we're finally gonna learn what the hell's going on in the AG's office. "She was in court in the morning, shoved a junior after that, and out on her...

BAD NEWS: Inslee isn't letting his run for President interfere with his tax-hiking agenda.  Here's State Budget Office report on his $26 billion tax package (he's flippin' nuts!): From 2013-2018, Inslee signed into law 19 tax increases that the state budget office...

Seriously, who isn't furious with Inslee / Ferguson / Seattle Supreme Court? Don't those clowns drive you crazy / nuts / bonkers?  Do they deserve to be rewarded for that? No flippin' way!Our Give Them Nothing referendum (R-80) is a chance for you and me and everyone...

Victory again! Sitting here with good friend Charlie Kirry after beating Ferguson in court this morning. Ferguson’s lifetime ban - to prohibit me for the rest of my life from doing initiatives - is on the chopping block now. Today, Judge James Dixon agreed to move up...

Liberals are laughing their a___ off. Why? Whenever a turncoat Republican does their dirty work for them, they shake their heads and marvel at the political stupidity. Last week, "Republican" Hans Zeiger led the Democrats in the Senate to pass one of his top...

Politicians like Inslee and Ferguson and the Seattle Supreme Court are constantly taking money out of our pockets. And they do it so arrogantly, so unapologetically, so unmercifully. Give Them Nothing - Referendum 80 gives you the chance to take money directly out of...

I am without legal counsel. I'm on my own.So you can imagine how great it feels for a novice like me to beat the AG in court:I'll write about this more on Monday, but let me tell you, the AG's team of lawyers went hysterical afterwards. Major hissy fit in public. They...

After being gone for 4 days, I did my best on my first day back to resolve this.A professional videographer offered me his services to document my morning. Bottom line, the store manager at the Lacey Office Depot could not have been more gracious.And this time, I made...

So here’s my sworn declaration about you-know-what: I, TIM EYMAN, do declare under penalty of perjury as follows:   I am over the age of eighteen and competent to speak to these matters.   I did not, shortly after giving legislative testimony in Olympia,...

It was an awesome vacation. Had a great time in Florida with my daughter. Highlight? All things Harry Potter @ Universal. Fantastic memories. And it looks like while I was away, things got pretty crazy. Let me be clear: this is only the beginning. As we get closer to...

In 2015, the Legislature jacked up gas taxes and imposed additional car tab taxes at the state level -- those tax increases cost taxpayers $3.7 billion.Hans Zeiger voted for that. How do I know? Tax advisory votes showed his vote in the voters pamphlet. It's still...

Hidden microphone recorded what Inslee said to Zeiger:"I need more Republicans like you, Hans.You're a bigger tax raiser than liberal Democrats like Sam Hunt and Reuven Carlyle. You're my favorite Republican!"Voters have 4 times passed initiatives requiring tax...

One turncoat Republican. That's what Democrats want: just one. Donkeys in Olympia can pass anything they want right now. They've got more than enough votes to impose completely crazy crap on their own. But there are a handful of strategically smart Democrats (like...

For the first time in our state's history, some regular citizens are going to attempt a referendum to let the voters decide on salary bonuses for politicians like Inslee, Ferguson, and the Seattle Supreme Court.Can Inslee survive on $354,000 for the next 2 years while...

As politicians in Olympia consider a bill that takes away the people's right to vote, it's important to consider that 35 million votes have been cast on tax advisory votes (hearing is Fri, 1:30pm, Cherberg Bldg, Olympia, SB 5224).It helpful too look at the history....

Democrats on the King County Council obviously think they can get away with it.  Let's show this old adage is true:  "Only after feeling the heat do politicians ever see the light."           Last night, 31st district Republican PCO's chose newly elected house member...

If given the chance, here's what voters will do to Inslee's Income Tax Scheme: Yes, that's me 32 years ago tossing a guy twice my size at a WSU fraternity event.  It's a perfect metaphor for what we can accomplish together next year -- and that's to toss Inslee's...

I have been released from Facebook jail - but I gotta start over - please send “Tim Eyman” a friend request if you do Facebook My testimony last night against bonuses for politicians — and your emails — spurs massive confrontation with rigged and corrupt commission ...

Does Jay Inslee deserve a 20% salary bonus? What about Bob Ferguson? The 9 Seattle Supreme Court judges? Olympia politicians who've done absolutely nothing to lower car tab taxes? Do any of these clowns deserve more than their current six-figure salaries? If there was...

As talk radio impresario Todd Herman so aptly put it last night: "Eyman's initiatives have saved taxpayers $40 billion -- and that's $40 billion that wasn't available for politicians like Bob Ferguson to pay out to their friends."  For 20 years, we have relentlessly...

My dearest friends: For 6 long years, I’ve been slammed with the most intense, soul-crushing government litigation against a private individual in state history.  While the AG has had unlimited resources to assign teams of taxpayer-financed lawyers to bury me and my...

I'm ADHD, so Wednesday wasn't exhausting, it was thrilling  What a day!!  On Wed, I got up at 5am, left Mukilteo at 6 am, drove to Olympia to do press conference at 10 am after dropping off petitions with 286,003 signatures for $30 Tabs Initiative, drove 6 hours to...

It was a truly historic day in Olympia. Pictures = 1000 words:   We started this historic signature drive in mid-April. In early July, we went to the Secretary of State's office in Olympia and announced we had reached 202,172 signatures in record time (less than...

We called the Sec of State and have an appointment at 10 am, Wed, Nov 14 at their 520 Union Bldg offices in Olympia We're turning in our petitions for our $30 Tabs Initiative tomorrow. I also asked them to assign some State Patrol officers to attend, saying it was "a...

Since the beginning, it's been our goal to finish early. As soon as you can, mail in all your partially filled or fully filled petitions for our $30 Tabs Initiative.  Send it what you got.  Now.  Immediately.  Don't delay.   There's two options: * Mail your petitions...

Last night, the voters repudiated initiatives that created new taxes and embraced initiatives that protected us from higher taxes -- Hallelujah! The media and the establishment slavishly obsess over the candidate races. But if you wanna know what voters are thinking,...

Hilton Garden Inn, 1800 NW Gilman Blvd, Issaquah, 7-11pm   One year from tomorrow, on November 5, 2019, we will be getting together on election night to celebrate the voters overwhelming approval of Initiative 976, bringing back our $30 tabs (30tabs.com), and to...

Eyman launches new referendum: 'Give Them Nothing'  Referendum co-sponsors Jack Fagan, left, Spokane Councilman Mike Fagan, center, and Tim Eyman pre-file “Give Them Nothing” in the Secretary of State’s Office on Oct. 24 in Olympia. By Roger Harnack, Publisher,...

Do politicians deserve a 20% bonus?  Does Inslee?  Does Ferguson?  Does the State Supreme Court?   The overwhelming response to our new campaign to veto politicians' 20% bonuses shows that the answer to the above questions is an emphatic:  "NO!" Without a 20% bonus,...

BONUSES FOR POLITICIANS? They want a 20% bonus. They deserve a 20% cut! The people say: GIVE THEM NOTHING! Politicians are asking for a 20% bonus from a commission of “regular citizens” (one of them is actually the husband of a state supreme court justice!). It’s...

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:  Let's be clear, we're gonna have a very short timeframe to collect signatures for our new ballot measure.  So tomorrow's kick-off at the Secretary of State's office and our email update at 11 am is the starting gun and that means everyone, AND I...

Yes, we are focused on getting the final 75,000 signatures for our $30 Tabs Initiative by the Dec 31 deadline -- BUT COME ON, I'M A DAD, SO CUT ME SOME SLACK ON THIS Got this last night at Dad's Day at her school:    As many of you know, my life has been dramatically...

We are working like crazy to qualify our $30 Tabs Initiative.  But it's important to stay vigilant about other initiatives.      Last Tuesday, I felt really bad that my legal challenge to the AG's biased description for Initiative 1000 was dismissed by the judge.  I...

"If you can't get a job, can't get into college, or can't get a government contract, you can thank Tim Eyman," says sponsor of I-1000, the new initiative that brings back government-sponsored discrimination It was quite a day.  Yesterday morning, I was contacted by a...

On my Facebook page yesterday, I asked supporters to pray for me regarding today's hearing. We must remember that God answers all prayers -- but His answer is often no. Here's what happened: 5 weeks ago, I filed a persuasive legal challenge to the Attorney General's...

I hope I've watched enough Perry Mason, L.A. Law, Boston Legal (Denny Crane!) and Law & Order to be ready for tomorrow.   I have a business degree from Washington State University with a minor in Economics.  I'm not an attorney.  Nonetheless, over the past 20...

I love this man:    Since mid-April, Bob Henkel from Tacoma has been busting his butt getting signatures for the $30 Tabs Initiative I-976.  He's now collected and turned in 6500+ and he's still going strong.  Those pictures show him with his 320+ petition sheets. He...

Tomorrow is gonna be fun.  Join me at the Central Washington State Fair from 12-6 pm; where I'll be working alongside GOP volunteers at the Republican fair booth collecting signatures for the $30 Tabs Initiative.  Our initiative gets rid of state and local taxes and...

Democrat Attorney General Bob Ferguson has politicized the ballot title process for initiatives unlike all his predecessors   For decades, professionals in the AG's office have written official ballot titles for initiatives that were neutral and unbiased regardless of...

We crushed it gettin' sigs at the Red Gate outside the fair:  My teammates were fantastic at our booth inside the fair The fair was filled with Eyman fans Even the children support $30 Tabs: Great people at the Pierce County GOP booth -- I'm so grateful for their...

It started on Friday with Kirby Wilbur on 570 KVI interviewing me when I was at the Puyallup Fair.  Kirby TORE INTO Sound Transit for all their many lies and encouraged his listeners to join me at the Fair and sign our petitions. Then on Monday morning, KTTH's Jason...

Nothing is more moving to me than getting these kinds of letters from supporters:    We killed it at the Puyallup Fair this weekend: I'm putting $30 Tabs stickers on everyone I can -- here's my 2 favorites from Sunday: So grateful to the Pierce County GOP for getting...

It’s was an absolute love fest at the Puyallup Fair Sunday for our $30 Tabs Initiative.         Everyone wants to bring back our $30 car tabs. Awesome day outside the Puyallup Fair on Sunday. We need 320K+ signatures. In the first 3 months, we hit...

Huge victory for the initiative process On the last day of this year's legislative session, the Constitution was violated by the Legislature. An initiative to the legislature -- I-940 -- had qualified and the Constitution gave the Legislature 3 options: * Adopt the...

Big events like the fairs are super helpful Longtime super supporters Denis and Joan Gorner made sure that the GOP booth at the Kitsap Fair has $30 tabs petitions. So grateful for their help. Check out these pictures from this weekend:   At the Monroe Fair on...

First day at Monroe Fair -- GOP fills 12 petitions sheets!!   Fairs are fun I live in Mukilteo so trekking over to the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe is pretty darn easy. So I'll be there as often as I can. But no matter what, make sure to swing by the Snohomish...

It was obvious the petitions for the anti-gun-rights initiative were screwed up -- but many didn't think the court would do anything about it. Justifiably, we are all very skeptical about judges and the courts in the state of Washington (cynical might be a better...

If this was an Eyman initiative, everyone would insist I follow the law. Because opponents know that voters support our initiatives (like $30 tabs), they've often filed pre-election legal challenges to prevent voters from voting on them. The courts have consistently...

The final reports for initiative campaigns were posted on Friday. So now we know how much each initiative spent to qualify for the ballot: * The carbon tax initiative I-1631 spent $2.1 million to qualify. * The anti-gun-rights initiative I-1634 spent $4.1 million. *...

State and local governments are ripping us off Voters have twice passed initiatives capping vehicle registration charges -- car tabs -- at $30 per year.  And for about 15 years, we succeeded at getting them lower.  Our initiatives over the past 20 years have saved...

State Treasurer Duane Davidson said "I urge the Legislature to not start a terrible precedent of diverting Rainy Day funding ... I have a duty to speak out if we can avoid a self-inflicted wound.  If the Legislature shifts its rules to avoid filling the...

The Democrats must've thought nobody would legally challenge their unprecedented raid on the constitutionally-protected Rainy Day Fund.  That's the only way to explain why they would so blatantly violate the Constitution.   If they get away with this, then the Rainy...

  Have you ever noticed how kids are constantly testing their parents on what they can get away with?  They're looking for how much we'll tolerate.  And whenever our kids do something wrong and get away with it, it inspires even greater irresponsibility. State and...

State and local governments have an all-consuming, insatiable appetite for higher taxes. No matter how much they take from us, they always demand more. They act like we have bottomless wallets. Call it tax inertia -- governments are gonna keep taking more and more...

With Democrats in charge of the House and Senate during this year's 2018 legislative session, the Constitution was routinely violated. They assumed they'd get away with it. Why? Because citizens rarely file lawsuits against the Legislature's actions (because they're...

Make sure to read Monday's update -- it's great news. As for today's topic, it's about the popularity of our $30 Tabs Initiative. Here's the way it works: the less popular your initiative, the more you have to spent to get it on the ballot. The more popular it is, the...

Our $30 Tabs Initiative is really popular. Taxpayers are justifiably furious that their vehicle tab bills are skyrocketing. It's because governments are knowingly and purposely inflating the value of our vehicles so they can artificially inflate the taxes they impose...

As you know, we are focused like a laser beam on the signature drive for our $30 Tabs Initiative. But during this year's legislative session, the Democrats did so many unconstitutional things that I felt compelled to respond. I initiated two lawsuits: * Eyman v Wyman...

On Friday in Olympia, we announced the big news: We did our best to make it as splashy and newsworthy as possible: We waved our arms and screamed at the top of our lungs about our progress and how much more needs to be done: Co-sponsor Mike Fagan did an absolutely job...

Last year at this time, we had zero signatures for our $30 Tabs Initiative.     This year, by starting 3 months earlier, we've given ourselves a huge head start. Earlier today in Olympia at the Secretary of State's office, we announced that we've reached...

At 10:30am on Monday, we sent out an email update to our supporters and the media letting everyone know that we will be at the Secretary of State's 520 Union Ave SE office in Olympia at 11:00 am Friday with our petitions to announce our current signature count for our...

Wednesday is this year's 4th of July holiday. Think of all the parades going on, all the events, all the people, all the patriotism. Let's get Friday's number as high as possible. I implore you to donate today. Email me and order petitions today. Collect signatures...

My attorney Joel Ard told me that I couldn't wear my orange $30 tabs t-shirt in court. I assured him I wouldn't: Joel did a masterful job: Before the hearing, we had dueling press conferences on the court steps (can someone plz order me some Spray-On Hair?): And...

Tomorrow, Thursday, June 28, 1:30 pm, there will be oral arguments before the 9 justices of the state supreme court on the Initiative 940 case ( Eyman v Wyman ). Hearing will be held in the Temple of Justice which is just north of the Capitol Dome in Olympia. On April...

The other initiatives have a deadline of July 6, ours is December 31. So that means we have the rest of June, July, August, September, October, November, and December to raise money and collect signatures. We chose this route to give ourselves extra time to get the...

It's never been tougher to qualify an initiative in Washington. In 1999, we needed 180K signatures to get our $30 Tabs Initiative on the ballot. For this year's initiatives, the Secretary of State recommends 350K. That exponential growth over the past 20 years is due...

I wouldn't have sold off my family's retirement fund and loaned half a million dollars to the signature drive for Initiative 976 if this was just about lowering tabs.   There's so much more to it. It's about holding Sound Transit accountable for lying to us. It's...

Here's my 60 second testimony ripping the Seattle City Council for blocking a public vote on the head tax (listen closely to hear the smattering of boos and hisses as I introduce myself): https://youtu.be/HAz6FlUOvSI The Seattle City Council voted 7-2 to repeal the...

Yesterday, I trekked down to Seattle to spend the day participating in the greatest political spectacle of the year: the Seattle City Council's about-face on the head tax. I stood in line like everyone else, waiting 2 hours among the socialists (appropriately with red...

Just 4 weeks ago, you imposed a massive new tax. There wasn't a single dissenting voice. You all voted in favor of it. It was a terrible idea and you did it anyway. Unanimously. But the people also had the right to second-guess your decision. And they exercised that...

Thursday, June 7, 2018 | Tim Eyman I ask you to send an email to attorney Joel Ard (joel.ard@immixlaw.com) and thank him. The man deserves much more than our collective thank you, but let's at least give him that: hundreds of emails that say thank you.   He's...

Tuesday, June 5, 2018 | Tim Eyman Super supporter Bob Henkel from Tacoma gave me his progress report: 63 filled petition sheets so far (1260 sigs). Remember, Bob is the extraordinary man who helped get thousands of signatures for our original $30 tabs initiative in...

It is, by far, the biggest risk I've ever taken. But I have faith. I have faith that voters all across our state are super eager to sign petitions for our $30 Tabs Initiative. I have faith that voters will overwhelming pass it. I have faith that it's carefully drafted...

There are lots of initiatives this cycle. That means lots of petitioners. Here's Eyman's "how to" guide to get through "big sig season". Question: What do I do if a petitioner asks me to sign petitions and I don't want to? Answer: Say you already signed and give the...

We made a mistake last year that we won't repeat. All you heard from us last year was "The signature drive is going great." We were accentuating the positive: and that was the heroic efforts of supporters who were really working hard collecting signatures. Over and...

If a picture's worth a thousand words, here's a few thousand: These pictures from our first stop in Bellingham really capture how much fun we had: Here's a video which pretty well captures my opening segment at every stop (my theme was the importance of PERSISTENCE)...

What a thrill! I've spent the last two weeks "on the road" doing our Full Contact Activism Tour. I've traveled the state going from city to city promoting and hopefully inspiring greater political participation by citizens in state and local politics. And at every...

State government is ripping us off. Cities are ripping us off. Counties are ripping us off. And yes, Sound Transit is ripping us off. It's infuriating. It's maddening. Don't you just want to scream at 'em? Well, I basically did just that. Watch this short excerpt from...

I'm having a blast on the Full Contact Activism Tour (San Juan county tonight, Yakima on Thurs -- look for details at www.thefourthcorner.com/tour). It's giving me a chance to thank folks in person for supporting our many initiatives over the past 20 years: Glen...

Thanks to your help and activism, we stopped a ton of tax bills and anti-initiative bills this session. My lawsuit against the Democrat-controlled Legislature for unconstitutionally undermining the initiative process won in lower court and is on appeal. My lawsuit...

Don't think of just yourself. Think about your family, your friends, your co-workers, and all the taxpayers in Washington state who will benefit from our initiative to Bring Back Our $30 Tabs. Also, our initiative reminds state and local politicians that they work for...

It's a policy goal we've pursued for 20 years. It's principled and straightforward: guaranteeing that every taxpayer pays just $30 to license their vehicles each year. State and local governments will continue to hit us with a massive sales tax when we buy our...

Eyman wins lawsuit against State, exposing unconstitutional effort by legislature, saves initiative process By Glen Morgan - April 23, 2018   Tim Eyman, well known initiative sponsor, won an overwhelming and decisive victory in Thurston County Superior Court on...

You're darn right I'm gonna take a victory lap on this one. Whenever David slays Goliath, it's important to take a moment to acknowledge it and celebrate it. For the past 20 years, while sponsoring and promoting initiatives, it's also been my mission to protect the...

"Whatever happened to our $30 car tabs?" We've heard that for years from struggling taxpayers all across our state. Other than an income tax, car tab taxes are the most radioactive tax in Washington. That's because voters have repeatedly said they hated 'em. Voters...

Congratulations again to Morgan Irwin for being named Legislator of the Year. His heroic efforts this last session to protect the initiative process are sincerely appreciated. On Friday, we met up in Olympia so I could give him his award: That was a busy day. Because...

Get ready, everybody. We've got an exciting surprise. Make sure to read Monday's update -- you're gonna love it. Today I'm traveling down to Olympia to go on the House Floor to give Rep Morgan Irwin his Legislator of the Year Award (I'll share the pictures in a later...

Thanks to all of you, we stopped a lot of bad bills during this year's legislative session. Tons of bills raising taxes, several bills attacking the initiative process. We're proud to say that every bill we targeted, we managed to stop. But it's also true that with...

RE: Signature drive starts today: Initiative 977 forces the Legislature to comply with the Public Records Act -- What are they hiding? We're firing on all pistons this year, that's for sure. Stopping tax bills and anti-initiative bills this session, a lawsuit...

I love politics, I love political activism. I live it, I breathe it. There's not a moment that goes by where I'm not thinking about it, strategizing about it, and doing something about it. So you'd think the highlight of attending yesterday's opening day of Mariner's...

A few weeks ago, I sued the Legislature because in the final days of the legislative session, they essentially repealed initiatives to the legislature. They established an extraordinarily dangerous precedent that if left unchallenged would seriously undermine the...

Lots of updates for you today: Throughout this year's legislative session, we worked really hard and stopped a lot of bad bills. No carbon tax THANKS TO YOU. No bills undermining the initiative process, THANKS TO YOU. Every bill we asked you to help us with, we killed...

While most freshman legislators would have kept their heads down and played it safe their first legislative session, Rep. Morgan Irwin went full pit-bull in defense of the initiative process. In attacking and ultimately killing one of the worst anti-initiative bills...

Two days ago, on Monday morning, I sued the Legislature. I'll be doing the case pro se (a fancy way of saying I'll be the lawyer). Lawsuits like this are normally super expensive but that's only because attorneys charge for their time -- but because I'm a 24-7-365...

The legislative session ended last night. With Democrats controlling the House 50-48 and controlling the Senate 25-24, the thing I'm saying to myself over and over again is this: it could've been so much worse. Did the Democrats ignore rules, sidestep laws, violate...

Now is when our voices must be at their loudest. In these final hours of this year's session, tell Olympia no. No to a capital gains income tax. It's a Pandora's box that if opened, will result in an income tax on every taxpayers at every income level. 10 times at the...

This is when Olympia is most dangerous.During the final days of a legislative session, legislators try their best to block out the voices of the people and just "get it done". Now is the time that lobbyists earn their money, cutting deals, buying votes, and generally...

Early last week, Gov. Jay Inslee gave his word to Democrat Senate Leader Sharon Nelson and Speaker Frank Chopp. He promised them that if they could get a veto-proof majority for their bill exempting the legislature from the public records act he would not veto it and...

Your hundreds and hundreds of emails to legislators are working. The initiative-death-by-delay bill is dead. That is the horrible bill (SB 5386) which would have added years to the normal bureaucratic processing of initiatives. It had a full head of steam but thanks...

"This bill is much less about signature gatherers and much more about strangling the initiative process." Morgan Irwin For weeks, hundreds and hundreds of regular citizens have been emailing and calling legislators asking them, begging them, to protect the initiative...

Two days ago, on Monday morning, I sued the Legislature. I'll be doing the case pro se (a fancy way of saying I'll be the lawyer). Lawsuits like this are normally super expensive but that's only because attorneys charge for their time -- but because I'm a 24-7-365...

Here's 2 pictures from last Friday's hearing: As you can see, all of you did an amazing job providing a SUPER TALL stack of written testimony against the bill (you should all feel very proud of that!!!). And here was the government's response to it (after 20 seconds...

In the Legislature, 99 times out of 100, powerful special interest groups call the shots, politicians bow to their will, and the voices of grassroots citizens are completely ignored. That's what makes what Sec of State Kim Wyman did today so unique. Don't you find...

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Tomorrow is our last chance to stop the gotta-register-with-the-government-to-collect-signatures-for-initiatives bill. The people's initiative process is in mortal danger -- if this bill...

Definition of fascism: "A government system that forcibly suppresses opposition and criticism." At Friday's 8 am hearing on House Bill 2967, the capital gains income tax, I wore a suit and tie and carried with me a stack of written testimony sent by supporters opposed...

A huge number of heroic supporters have emailed me their written testimony against the Democrats' capital gains income tax. Your passion and revulsion to House Bill 2967 comes through loud and clear. The hearing in Olympia on this godawful legislation is tomorrow at...

This Friday's 8am hearing on the capital gains income tax is stacked against us. All the folks ridin' in the wagon will be there, ready to wait for hours (what else do they have to do?) to speak for 2 minutes about the reasons why the folks pullin' the wagon should...

To ensure that as few regular people can attend as possible, at 8 am next Friday in Olympia, there will be a legislative hearing on the Democrats' bill to impose a new capital gains income tax. The state budget office has completed its' analysis of House Bill 2967 and...

UNSUNG HERO: 2007's Initiative 960 is doing its job, deterring tax hikes $30 car tabs, 1% cap on property tax increases, the 900 Pound Gorilla requiring performance audits -- these are a few of the initiatives we're most known for. But we've got an unsung hero that's...

There's only one legislator who citizens need to convince to stop these anti-initiative bills from becoming law: and that's Speaker of the House Frank Chopp. He decides what bills make it out of the Rules committee, which bills get a floor vote, which bills become...

In the house this morning, congratulations to Republicans Joyce McDonald, Morgan Irwin, Vicki Kraft, and Norm Johnson for not voting for this horrible anti-initiative bill. Even though the ACLU pointed out that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a previous...

At yesterday’s legislative hearing in Olympia, one of the main opponents of the initiative process testified: “My name is Jan Gee and I’m the President of the Washington Food Industry Association and here to support the striking amendment to House Bill 1537 and to...

For years, heroic Republican legislators like Pam Roach have protected the citizen initiative process from the Democrats yearly legislative attacks on the initiative process. Republicans under Pam's leadership were united in saving this basic First Amendment right....

This Wed, Jan 31 is another weekday 8 am hearing in Olympia -- perfectly timed so that regular folks can't be heard, only the special interests. I'll be participating (5 am departure from Mukilteo, hours long drive to the Capitol, sit there for multi-hour hearing to...

Shutting down the initiative process is now an obsession by the Democrats in Olympia. I already told you about Senate Bill 5386, the initiative-death-by-delay bill. Now there's a different anti-initiative bill -- this one, House Bill 2383, says that before the...

RE: Eyman infuriates Democrat senators at Friday's hearing with this: "I really question the motives of the sponsors of this anti-initiative bill" They always do these hearings so that regular folks can't show up. The legislative hearing in Olympia was at 8 am on...

RE: Worst anti-initiative bill ever - tell legislators to oppose Senate Bill 5386, the initiative-death-by-delay bill - there's a hearing on Friday 8 am in the Cherberg Building before the Senate State Gov't committee - I'll be there to testify against it Every year,...

RE: Inslee's agenda: all-taxes-all-the-time. Tell legislators: DON'T DO IT!!!!!!! We're stuck with a Democrat Governor, but at least he's incompetent, doesn't listen to voters, and is completely out-of-touch. Despite promising to veto tax increases, ever since he's...

RE: RIGHT NOW tell all 147 legislators: NO MORE TAXES   Today is the first day of the 2018 Legislative session. Seattle Democrats control the House 50-48. Seattle Democrats control the Senate 25-24. They control everything. They know their grip on power may very well...

With our initiatives in effect from 2007-2012, the Legislature raised taxes $6.9 billion. Without our initiatives in effect from 2013-2017, the Legislature raised taxes $23.7 billion. Our November 30 update highlighted this amazing comparison: http://conta.cc/2zPRDBU...

This will be our 19th year fighting for taxpayers. Thanks to our supporters, we've gotten 16 initiatives on the ballot. Thanks to the voters, 10 were approved. Thanks to our supporters and the voters, those initiatives have directly saved taxpayers over $35 billion so...

Despite months of hard work and effort by a lot of great people, I'm really disappointed to announce that we didn't make it. Even though bringing back our $30 car tabs has overwhelming public support (85% according to KOMO 4's poll), we didn't collect the 350,000...

If you've still got $30 tabs initiative petitions, mail them to Spokane right away (the address appears on the back of every petition -- Voters Want More Choices, PO Box 18250, Spokane, WA, 99228). Regular first class mail is fine (don't overnight them -- since it's a...

I've had 52 years of life and I'm ready for 52 more. Other than being a husband and a father, there's nothing I'm more proud of than being a political activist. I firmly believe this is true: "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." Over the...

I grew up in Yakima and so a lot of my friends were hunters. I never was but I was always intrigued with it. In 2011, a really good friend of mine -- Roy -- took me and my two sons hunting for pheasants. Jackson and Jeremy have had two pheasants mounted in their rooms...

I'm truly inspired by Rick Walther. I met him in person a few months ago when he turned over 1000+ signatures for our $30 Tabs Initiative. Back then, we met in Puyallup and I awarded him his uber-orange $30 Tabs t-shirt. He and his wife could not have been nicer. He...

Question: "Do I have to put my name on the back of the petitions?" Answer: Absolutely not. If you want to print your name and sign the back, you certainly can, but it's not required. The courts have clearly ruled it's not mandatory, it's optional. So don't sweat it....

This morning at 11 am in the Secretary of State's office, we filed our initiative for 2018. It's really exciting. We always spend the year before analyzing and deciding what initiative we're going to do the following year. It's a tough thing to do -- trying to...

Working together over the past 18 years, we've saved taxpayers over $35 billion from our various tax initiatives. With our 4 voter-approved 2/3-for-taxes initiatives, we've stopped Olympia from raising taxes billions more. Thanks to you, we've done extraordinary...

In mid-November, I traveled down to Pierce County to award the guys from the Cascade Ironing Board brigade their $30 Tabs t-shirts for collecting 1000+ signatures. Spending several hours with them collecting signatures was a blast: The heroes above are Grant Pelesky,...

Without the 2/3 rule, we're getting taxed to the max. It's an amazing real-world comparison that's easily quantifiable. In 2007, the voters overwhelmingly passed our Initiative 960 which required a 2/3 vote of the Legislature to raise taxes. Despite supermajorities in...

Here's why we voted on this year's crop of tax increases: Eyman defends tax advisory votes By Tim Eyman for the Yakima Herald Republic Nearly 70% of voters rejected this year’s crop of tax increases imposed by the 2017 Legislature. Before the election, the YHR’s...

By Glen Morgan - November 21, 2017, www.wethegoverned.com    If you dare to speak truth to power, there will always be repercussions. The powerful always strike back. We are witnessing this in Washington State as the cascading exposure of widespread violations of the...

For 50 years, conservative reader-board messages have been appearing on the Uncle Sam sign near Chehalis (directly off I-5 in southwest Washington). Talk about a tremendous honor: This is a really big deal. Here's some pictures from the other side of I-5 (you can see...

You gotta love these guys!! I spent yesterday morning in arctic rain and wind with guys who have been heroically getting signatures for the $30 Tabs Initiative at the Pierce County Annex in Tacoma (it's where folks go to renew their vehicle tabs). First off, super...

The last time I traveled down to the Pierce County Annex in Tacoma where folks renew their car tabs, it was summer and I wore a $30 tabs t-shirt, sunglasses, and flip-flops while collecting signatures with John Barry, Gordon Glaxton, and Grant Pelesky, and other...

The 2017 Legislature imposed several tax increases. Thanks to voters approving our initiatives in 2007, 2010, 2012, & 2015, voters last night had the right to vote on this year's crop of tax increases. And they rejected all of them: * 58% of voters on Tuesday...

Local government politicians have been whining to newspaper editorial boards lately about how tough it is with "Eyman's 1% property tax cap." The Spokesman Review published my defense of it in their Sunday edition -- let me know what you think of it: Guest Opinion:...

Our initiatives are not ambiguous. For vehicle tabs, $30 tabs means $30 tabs. Taxes and fees above $30 violate the public's will. It's so clear that even a politician should be able to understand it. As for property tax increases, voters demanded a 1% cap (in 2001,...

Not since Initiative 695 in 1999 -- also a $30 Tabs Initiative -- have I seen such overwhelming enthusiasm for one of our initiatives. Supercharging our signature drive is everyone's SKYROCKETING car tab taxes that are being artificially inflated by being dishonestly...

Me and my oldest son Jackson got front row seats in the end zone of Centurylink field to watch -- up close and personal -- yesterday's amazing Seahawks game against Texas (thanks to some very generous friends). When the two of us appeared on TV screens across the...

Tell next year's Legislature that you're against them raising taxes by voting "REJECT" on Tax Advisory Votes 16, 17, and 18 on the November statewide ballot. On Monday, my column defending tax advisory votes was published in the Walla Walla Union Bulletin: Tax...

The Senate Law and Justice Committee released a report yesterday that indicts Sound Transit for its' many lies: * Sound Transit's bill was purposely drafted to hide their artificially inflated vehicle valuation schedule.* Sound Transit repeatedly told the Legislature...

Yesterday I drove up to Bellingham for the day. One of the best state senators we have in the Majority Coalition Caucus is Sen. Doug Ericksen. He was having a town hall at Western WA Univ and I went there to support him and push our $30 Tabs Initiative. I met some...

Two days ago, I asked all of you to send emails to the SeaTac City Council to encourage them to stop their red-light ticketing camera program. The city council was deluged with your emails. That evening, during council debate, your emails became a central talking...

Our priority and our focus is on encouraging everyone to collect signatures for the $30 Tabs Initiative. It's taken off like a rocket and we need everyone doing their part to keep it that way. But with your help RIGHT NOW, we can stop an injustice from continuing in...

In late July, Connie Christiansen sent me an email asking for 100 petitions from Puyallup Minuteman Press. I ordered them for her and she picked 'em up a few hours later. Yesterday, we met at the Walmart in Puyallup where she turned over 1200+ signatures earning...

I'm born and raised Yakima. It's my hometown. So having a rally at the Central WA state fair at the Yakima GOP Republican booth was a blast. Old friends and new friends came by. Two amazing Yakimaniacs earned an uber-orange $30 Tabs t-shirt -- more and more supporters...

It's my hometown so today will be very special for me. I'm traveling to Yakima's Central WA State Fair to join activists at the GOP booth to Rally for $30 Tabs. I'll be there from 1-7pm to collect signatures, distribute petitions, recognize the Yakima GOP for their...

In Kent yesterday was a work session by the Senate Judiciary committee. The topic: did Sound Transit mislead legislators and voters on ST3? Chairman Mike Padden (R-Spokane) invited me to testify. Here's how it looked in the room: And here's me during the testimony:...

From Yakima County GOP chair Benine McDonnell on the first day of the Central WA State Fair on Friday: 3 petitions filled in 2 hours Saturday: 17 filled petitions today -- drawing lots of traffic to booth. 8 pm Sunday: 24 filled petitions today -- $30 tabs is...

Gov. Gary Locke, March, 2000: "Regardless of the court's ruling today, $30 license tabs are here to stay." Anyone who's renewed their car tabs lately knows that's a lie. Voters passed our $30 Tabs Initiative in 1999 telling state government we opposed vehicle...

Yesterday at the Puyallup Fair was a huge success for our $30 Tabs Initiative: Thanks to super supporter Gordon Glaxton, there's a new sign at the Pierce County GOP booth (now that's a cool personalized license plate!) But even better, I had the chance to work with my...

My day trip to Wenatchee on Wednesday was fantastic: On behalf of the GOP activists in the 12th district, longtime friend and super supporter Cary Condotta turned over 1000+ signatures for the $30 Tabs Initiative. He made clear that this is just the first installment...

While at the Puyallup Fair, super supporter Charlie Kirry put together this amazing short video to promote our $30 Tabs Initiative (plz forward this update far-and-wide): Here's a hyperlink to this fantastic YouTube video:https://youtu.be/-QYusjFOz7I I think Charlie...

The fairs have been fantastic. On Friday, I went from 1pm-8pm at the Pierce County Republicans booth at the Puyallup Fair. I teamed up with Gordon Glaxton and others and we were smokin'. One of the people who came by to sign a petition was Charlotte Trayer. She was...

Fantastic news. Debbie Blodgett is now the 3rd person to turn in 1000+ signatures for the $30 Tabs Initiative and thus has earned one of those bright orange $30 Tabs t-shirts. She rocks!!! And she's still going strong.       Debbie is the chair of the Snohomish County...

This is really inspiring.   Leonard Ruthford spent the last couple days at the entrance to Monroe's Evergreen State Fair in the blistering hot sun. He hit 1000 signatures yesterday and so earned himself a $30 Tabs t-shirt. He's a real hero. And to top it off, he said...

 I'm telling ya, last week's rally in Pierce County was crackling with energy -- we gathered a ton of signatures and we handed out a ton of petitions. But I will not consider it a success unless it inspires a bunch of you to "take up arms" and join us in this worthy...

Your priority and our priority must be our $30 Tabs Initiative. Hit "reply" to this email and tell me how many petitions you want, your address, and your phone number. I'll get you as many petitions as you want right away. I'm really counting on you.       The...

Yesterday's rally for our new $30 Tabs Initiative was a smashing success. I planned 11am - 2pm -- but the energy and enthusiasm of signers was so great, that we stretched it out and went nonstop from 10:30 am - 3:30 pm. Super-charged supporters joined me and we got...

 The passion and energy for our new $30 Tabs Initiative is embraced by folks across the state but there's white-hot support in Pierce County.  Voters everywhere are furious about skyrocketing car tab taxes but the folks in Pierce County are particularly incensed. ...
