R-71 Petitions available this week!

Our petition draft & design team encountered a couple of unforeseen difficulties in laying the R-71 petition out, all of which they have overcome. Unfortunately, the problems did set us back a few hours and we will now go to print Wednesday afternoon,  June 3.

 

We will begin our distribution as soon as the ink is dry.

 

The layout has been tricky and may contain the largest amount of text of any initiative or referendum to date.

 

Please be patient as we cross our t's and dot our i's.  It is critical that we get this right the first time as the other side can be counted on to contest any mistakes or violations.

 

The good news is that requests for the petitions are pouring in faster than ever in response to threats by homosexual organizations who promised yesterday that they will try to intimidate R-71 petition signers by posting their names and addresses on the web.

Mission

The mission of the new PAC is to organize the effort to gather the 120,577 required signatures for Referendum 71 by July 25, 2009 to bring the controversial Senate Bill 5688 before the voters of Washington State in November. SB 5688 is a 110 page document which includes the phrase "marriage shall apply equally to state registered domestic partnerships" 180 times.

 

SB 5688 was packaged and presented to the legislature as a Domestic Partnerships expansion of benefits. In truth, it will demolish the state's historical understanding and definition of marriage as that of uniting a man and a woman for life as Washington State will immediately become subject to litigation by same-sex partners demanding that the courts overturn the Defense of Marriage Act and impose "same-sex marriage" (as happened recently in California prior to Proposition 8).
