Carrying the weight of the State on my back for 8 1/2 years has apparently given me a hernia.  It certainly wasn't how I wanted to spend the morning of my 55th birthday. But with all the sharp pains in recent days, I was grateful to get a such a quick appointment for...

That's how it looked to me this week. Me in the hot seat wearing a mask, table in front of me with big clear plexiglass hanging from the ceiling. Judge to my right, my inquisitor at the podium, team of prosecutors to the left of the podium, and the court reporter on...

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...

"We're coming for you" I don't let Seattle crazies intimidate me/us. After voters overwhelmingly passed our $30 Tabs Initiative last year, opponents were furious. Watch the Executive Director of Sound Transit’s Transportation Choices Coalition in Seattle threaten...

I've never allowed myself to be trapped in the "I-agree-with-you" bubble. Too many in politics only sing to the choir -- I seek out our opponents and confront them. Check out this update from earlier this year. If you support me and want me to continue, please donate...

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...

Sometimes you really have to squint to see silver linings. But it's what I've done all my life.I'm a glass-is-half-full guy -- always have been, always will be.The 8 brutal years of investigation, litigation, and persecution of me and my family by AG Bob Ferguson has...

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,...

Regardless of who gets elected and which politicians control the levers of government, we will always have a need for vigorous citizen activism. I will never stop doing that, and I look forward to all we will accomplish together in the future.Rest assured, my run for...

It's not over -- the fight continues! I hired our attorney Stephen Pidgeon to write and file a motion for reconsideration with the state supreme court on their absurd $30 Tabs ruling. In it, he repeatedly reminds those 9 judges about the well-reasoned ruling by King...

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...

Democrat Bob Ferguson has forced taxpayers to spend nearly $2 million on a huge team of AG lawyers going after me and my family. That's more than all other cases in the past 7 years COMBINED.What's it cost to defend me and my family? Over $1.2 million (so far).Thanks...

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...

Remember when Inslee said the mask mandate didn't apply to him? (WATCH this very short video):With Inslee, it's always one set of rules for him and his friends, and another for everyone else.He doesn't have to wear a mask, but we do. The First Amendment applies to...

In Monday's update, I wrote about not renewing my tabs for the past 11 months. Let's remember: voters last November overwhelmingly passed a law making certain vehicle taxes and fees illegal (the ones on top of the $30 "base fee"). That law was approved by voters and...

After 8 months of hard work, in Jan 2019, we turned in 352,111 voter signatures for Initiative 976 and qualified it for a public vote: Despite being outspent $5 million to zero, I-976 passed overwhelmingly: Then Seattle sued the voters: When Inslee blocked it and said...

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

Last Friday, we sued Jay Inslee in federal court because of his unconstitutional designation of certain people and businesses as "non-essential" (EVERYONE IS ESSENTIAL -- https://mailchi.mp/3320f5ad3bd7/eyman-letter-to-ag-william-barr). Late last night, I notified...

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...

Beyond maddening! Yesterday Inslee was asked "What about suspending car tabs?" His response: "I hadn't thought of that, I'll get back to you." Inslee's idea of "shared sacrifice" involves regular citizens sacrificing everything and government sacrificing nothing. $30...

As former supreme court justice Richard Sanders recently said: "Our constitutional rights are most necessary in times of crises, not tranquility."He's exactly right. The 1st Amendment is essential. And so is the 2nd Amendment. So: This Friday, April 3, from 11am-1pm,...

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...

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...

I am calling for civil disobedience. Join me and REFUSE to renew your vehicle tabs if your bill includes taxes and fees that were specifically targeted by I-976. It is absolutely critical that the people of Washington state, regardless of how they voted, not pay taxes...

Candidate Inslee was emphatic -- SEATTLE TIMES, Oct 12, 2012: Inslee says he'll veto tax increases ... after dancing around the question for a while, Inslee made a clear promise to veto tax increases. “I would veto anything that heads the wrong direction and the wrong...

Here's my Facebook post announcing my candidacy: At Seattle Sound Transit’s board meeting, I announced I’m running for Governor in 2020. Yes, that’s right, I am running against Jay Inslee, Seattle’s current Governor. Voters outside Seattle overwhelmingly passed $30...

This email was just sent to the county officials representing the pro-976 counties: Voters in your county voted overwhelmingly for Initiative 976 and they need your help. Voters have emailed you and asked / urged you to assist them. Please respond to their call....

Today I sent emails to county council members who represent the voters in the 33 counties that overwhelmingly approved I-976. After you read this example, it's absolutely critical you email them too and tell them to protect our vote for I-976: Dear Lewis County...

Watch the Executive Director of Sound Transit's Transportation Choices Coalition in Seattle threaten me: https://youtu.be/E2LLtG-Pdgo Let that sink in. Because of his long standing support and defense of Sound Transit, Bob Ferguson is actively sabotaging Initiative...

They spent $5 million attacking Tim Eyman, and all they got was a lousy campaign finance complaint Eyman has been persecuted with the full power of the state. Public statements by Ferguson that he “would never settle” with Eyman, and other absurdities have abounded in...

When Seattle's mayor announced why she was suing the people, she said "We're here to uphold the will of SEATTLE VOTERS." Let that sink in. Seattle has forced us to accept Seattle-centric Governor & AG, Seattle-centric Sound Transit, a Seattle-centric Legislature,...

Here's some great videos and pictures I wanted to share: After polls closed at 8 pm, we waited for results:   Lots of reporters were there: VIDEO: Reporters asked me: "Preliminary numbers are 54% yes, how do you feel?" Here's our...

Jay Inslee: “Hi, uh, Jay here, I just want to take a moment to express the hope that you will join me in voting no against I-976. Ya know this is Tim Eyman’s initiative. ... the, uh, the safe thing to say about this is this would gut our ability for people to move...

I need your advice: please watch 976 debate and give me your feedback - strengths? weaknesses? After you watch it, you'll understand why I'm so certain that 65% of voters will approve I-976 and pass in all 39 counties. Here it is: https://tinyurl.com/976GreatDebate...

"Is this a dishonest tax?" Politicians answer: "Quit yer bitching and pay the damned tax." Pigs are gonna be squealin' 2nite!! Why won't that auditorium in Everett be packed with pro-976 supporters? Because our supporters work for a living!! After a hard day at work,...

Another great week fighting against dishonest vehicle taxes with I-976. I know it's difficult for our supporters to attend these things because y'all work for a living. But if you're able to make it, I'd love to have the chance to meet you and thank you in person for...

What FUN!  Here are links to watch my pro-976 comments before the City Clown-cils in Tacoma, Olympia, and Seattle (RE: their government resolutions telling citizens how to vote on Initiative 976): In Tacoma, to stand out from the rest of the attendees, I decided to be...

Heads will explode in November when the $30 Tabs Initiative not only gets approved statewide but also passes in the city of Seattle.And it won't be because of my performance in TVW's video voters guide: Whaddya think? I'd appreciate your feedback.The Democrats' poll...

They were warned - and they did nothing: "The current car tabs' revolt is only going to intensify … " Watch short 1 minute video: Taxpayers are getting ripped off, politicians know it, and despite two years of warnings, they've done nothing about it. Thanks to your...

Here we are celebrating the qualification of I-976 for the November 2019 ballot: Here's how we got here:  * In 1998, we sponsored the "No Car Tax Initiative" I-691. Fell short on signatures.* In 1999, we sponsored "$30 License Tab Initiative" I-695. It replaced the...

So true: "Let me tell ya something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.  It's a mean and nasty place.  I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.  You, me, or nobody is gonna hit...

They can't say they weren't warned: I-1082 puts those dirty dog politicians in Olympia on a short leash when they take our money without asking.  With your help and your support over the next 6 months, I know we can qualify #Round2.                               GET A...

In 2007, 2010, 2012, and 2015, voters overwhelmingly approved initiatives that included the following statutory requirement: any time Olympia unilaterally raises taxes and blocks the people from voting, then the voters get to vote on each tax increase with what's...

Olympia really screwed us this year.11 new taxes.$27 billion.$4000 for every man, woman, and child.Title-only bills, public hearings w/ chained doors, legislators voting on bills they hadn't read while passing them in the dead of night on the final weekend. It was...

When it comes to raising taxes without voter permission this session, there was nothing non-partisan about it.Democrats did it.* Democrats controlled the House and Senate.* Democrats wrote the title-only bills.* Democrats held "public" hearings (see photos by Rep....

Super-popular 1648 fell short because we only had 30 days. Having 6 months for Round 2 is gonna help but only if we make every day count! Read about day one:The journey of a thousand miles begins with single step:I absolutely adore Marlyn Jensen - she is force of...

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.  ...

This historic signature drive began in earnest just 4 weeks ago! 1648 isn't just about excessive taxes -- it's about the right of the people to self government and self determination. When politicians go completely nuts, the initiative process stands ready to be the...

Never done this before.It's called LAST DASH FOR I1648. Tomorrow (Friday), 39+ Pony Expressers across WA state are gonna do our best to collect last minute signatures and pick up petitions.Here's my Friday route (all are welcome to join me at any location and/or...

REAT COLUMN ABOUT 1648: Terms for TaxesYears ago, I dubbed Tim Eyman "America's #1 freedom fighter," and how does he repay me? Washington State's anti-tax crusading initiative guru has gone and stolen my bread-and-butter issue, term limits . . . and married it up with...

Being an initiative sponsor requires being both a rah-rah cheerleader but also a demanding coach for the team.Here's Tim, rah-rah cheerleader: I've never seen anything like this. The groundswell of citizen participation for this signature drive for 1648 is...

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...

There's no way to get 320,000 signatures in 6 weeks. Not without tons of money and tons of paid petitioners.It can't be done. It's impossible.But a 4 minute mile used to be impossible.But now it isn't.  Going faster than the speed of sound used to be impossible.But...

When asking someone to sign a petition, what's the most important thing to do?  Smile. Make eye contact and w/ a smile, ask them this:"Hey there, have you had a chance to sign our petition yet? Just trying to get it on the ballot."  Almost always their response...

Our initiative has inspired the greatest grassroots signature drive in Washington state history!! Why?Because people are PISSED!! 11 tax increases? $27 billion in new taxes? On the final weekend? In the dark of night? Imposed at a time they didn't need to (they had a...

In two decades of doing initiatives, I've never seen anything like this.8 days ago, super heroes Cary Condotta and Mike McKee asked the State GOP to endorse I-1648.The process normally takes months.Instead, 3 days later, the resolutions committee chair Randy Hayden...

The Legislature went absolutely bonkers raising taxes this year:*  11 tax increases?*  Costing $27 billion (over 10 years)?*  When the government already has a huge $3.5 billion tax surplus?That's insane.If we don't fight back now, politicians will think we...

Look closely at these 2 pictures: That's what we need - folks with the courage to openly and defiantly oppose Inslee's $27 billion in new taxes. Those are store owners standing behind Inslee at the official bill signing!!Ballsy move.  And when one of them told Inslee...

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...

Taking a page out the Obama Administration's "never let a crisis go to waste" playbook, tax-hiking Democrats are trying to exploit yesterday's bridge accident.  Early on, the Associated Press reported that an oversized truck collided with the bridge's support trusses...

On Monday, I traveled from Mukilteo to Spokane to testify before the Spokane City Council.  As most of you know, our partner Mike Fagan is now a city councilmember there.  Two very liberal initiatives qualified for the ballot -- local initiatives in the city -- and...

A little over a year ago, Karen and I sold off our family's retirement fund and loaned $500,000 to kick-start the signature drive for our $30 Tabs Initiative (http://www.timdefense.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hyperlink-story.pdf). It was a huge risk, but we had...

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...

I just finished up being interviewed on John Carlson's radio show this morning (570 KVI). He's super supportive of our new initiative that TERM LIMITS all the tax increases Inslee and the Democrats jammed through this session (it gives the voters the chance to veto...
