R-71

 Where is the petition for R-71? I want to sign it, please! I think everyone else should sign it proudly too. This goes way beyond the issue of gay rights now with me. This is nothing more than a bully tactic to intimidate voters from expressing their feelings through signing a petition. Enough!

RCW29A.84.250 states that intimidation tactics concerning petitions is illegal. No matter what these yahoos say that it is not their intentions, I feel that it absolutely is. They have admitted publicly that their intention is to have gay rights activists contact the signers and try to sway them. Why are they not being arrested?

Please, to all registered voters, sign that petition for R-71. No matter what your feelings are about gay marriage. It is they who have taken this to a different level and there must be some public outcry. Please!
