Over the years, we've qualified 17 initiatives for a statewide vote. What did they all have in common?In every instance, we launched a signature drive not knowing if we'd succeed.  "You don't really know how much you can do until you stand up and decide to try." Kevin...

Quiet victories are great victories Last week's email update read:  "Join me at 2 historic hearings" One of them was the Senate Ways & Means committee hearing on Sen. Steve Hobb's Taxapalooza tax bill. It was scheduled for 9 am last Thursday and I invited all of...

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...

Every day we persist is an astonishing victory for us.Every day we're politically active is a humiliating defeat for them. Almost everywhere, they rule. They control the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Big Labor gets what they want, Big Business rolls...

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...

"I think everything they're alleging is just crap." "Nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep moving forward."  Rocky (video...

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...

Join me at these 2 historic hearings: Thurs, 8am, legislative hearing on Dems' income tax bill, Fri, 9am, court hearing on Lifetime BanJoin me.There are 2 historic hearings this week.  Each will change the trajectory of Washington state forever.Democrats' income tax...

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...

 There's two ways you can help:1) Ask me for petitions -- tons of folks are asking me for petitions but we need tons more. Hit reply to this email (or email me directly tim.eyman@gmail.com or call/text me 509-991-5295) and tell me your name, how many petitions you...

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...

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....

Picture = 1000 words:From yesterday: "When a tax is so fundamentally unfair, so fundamentally dishonest, so fundamentally out of kilter with what an average person thinks is fair, you have to adjust the system in order to accommodate a fair taxation system."Qualifying...

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...

Stay Down Luke   Click here to watch it:  https://tinyurl.com/y8jv8qpm   "Just stay down, Luke, he's just gonna knock you down again.  It's not your fault, he's just too big.  Stay down Luke." "You're gonna have to kill me." If not for the love and support of all of...

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...

All day at the Yakima GOP fair booth on Saturday -- here was the highlight for me Jeremie Dufault is a GOP candidate for the state house -- as you can see in this picture, he's holding a stack of newspaper mailers: Here's the back page of that flier that he mailed out...

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...

Getting publicly heckled by 2 disheveled college kids Great story to share. To set the scene: I had just finished up speaking on Monday night to the 46th District GOP in Seattle. It was a great crowd. Tons of people showed up and we spoke for nearly 2 hours about our...

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...

This past weekend in Bellevue, the county chairs and state committee members from all over the state met in Bellevue for the State GOP's latest quarterly meeting It was a unanimous vote. That's such a great feeling to have such across-the-board support for bringing...

Since I'm a 24/7/365 political activist (with ADHD), I'm constantly looking for ways to make a difference I'm like a shark, always swimming, constantly moving. I don't just sit around and wait for people to ask for help. I am overtly pro-active in all areas of the...

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...

Despite being immensely popular, our $30 tabs initiative fell short in 2016. We didn't make it in 2017 either. When an initiative as popular as this one doesn't qualify, it's because the initiative sponsor (me) didn't inspire enough people to help. So it's my fault we...

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...
