Clean up the initiative process in Washington state

The integrity of our initiative process is ranked as one of the worst in the country for its lack of standards, transparency, accountability, oversight, and enforcement.¹ Tim Eyman has turned Washington's initiative process into a bad joke. Paid signature gatherers can defraud the system with virtually no fear of prosecution.

The Legislature is considering simple, common-sense reforms that would help clean up the process, like requiring paid signature gatherers to register with the state's Public Disclosure Commission and sign the backs of petitions. But Tim Eyman is collecting petitions against the reforms, testifying against them in Olympia, and gathering signatures for his latest anti-tax initiative.²

Help us make sure Eyman doesn't win again. We need to protect the integrity of the initiative process and ensure that our legislators stand up for reform. Please sign our petition urging legislators in Olympia to pass important ballot reform measures, and recruit your friends as well. Click on the link to sign the petition:
