Permanent Defense celebrates 3 years

Permanent Defense, NPI's oldest independent division, is celebrating three years of activism this week and this month.

Founded in February of 2002, Permanent Defense precedes the founding of NPI by about a year and a half. Originally, Permanent Defense's mission was simply the defeat of Tim Eyman, but it has now expanded its role into fighting other political issues as well, most notably tax reform.

Since Permanent Defense's founding, initiative profiteer Tim Eyman has had a 1-4 record. PD, along with its allies, has seen the demise of Initiatives 267, (2002) 807, (2003) 864, and 892 (2004). Its last year - the third year of operation, has been its most successful year.

Congratulations to Permanent Defense on its third year anniversary. The rest of NPI hopes your next year is even more successful than the last.
