Meet a Petitioner? Tell Us!
A reminder to all progressive activists: this is initiative season and the right wing is feverishly working to qualify several really destructive initiatives for the ballot. Paid signature gatherers are out right now soliciting signatures for measures such as I-917 (repealing transportation funding), I-933 (destroying the growth management laws), R-65 (reversing the recently passed civil rights legislation) and so on.
If you see petitioners collecting signatures for any right wing initiative, please use Permanent Defense's reporting tool to tell us about it so we can more efficiently organize and mobilize.
We also have buttons available that you can add to your own blog or website pointing to the reporting tool. The smaller version of the button is on the Official Blog's sidebar (to your right) while Permanent Defense's main page has been using the larger version.
Feel free to download either or both:

The more people that know about the reporting tool, the better. If progressives keep their eyes and ears open and report signature gathering activity when they observe it, that will help us to track how the right wing signature drives are going and allow us to mobilize volunteers that we can send out to exercise our free speech rights.
Telling voters who might sign these petitions the other side of the story is extremely important if we want to stop Eyman and his right wing cohorts from deceiving the public.
Our thanks to everyone who adds a button to their site for their help.
NOTE: Attempts to spam the reporting tool with bogus submissions are easily defeated, and we warn people with such intentions not to bother. You're wasting your time.
