Connelly slams right wing initiatives

Joel's column this morning is one of his best ever:
When a petition-bearing mercenary slides up to you in the next week and asks help in putting an initiative on the November ballot, here's suggesting you recall the slogan from Nancy Reagan's anti-drug campaign: Just say No!!!
Besides urging readers to avoid signing right wing petitions, Connelly also makes a clear, concise case against each of the three major right wing initiatives which will likely be on the ballot this fall: I-917 (sponsored by Tim Eyman, guts transportation funding), I-920 (sponsored by Dennis Falk and backed by Martin Selig, wipes out money for public education) and I-933 (sponsored by the State Farm Bureau, would create legal loopholes for developers and land use mayhem).

Informative flyers presenting the opposing case to each of these three initiatives are available here:
We will continue to maintain a strong focus on initiatives. Though there is only a week and a half left before the turn in deadline, we do want to encourage you (once again) to report right wing signature gathering activity if you observe it. Free speech belongs to all Americans.
