Passing I-933 on November 7 will determine whether or not Washington state private property rights are protected and the state's government is held accountable for the regulations imposed on individuals who own property - any property, private property.
• I-933 will make the government more accountable to its citizens:
• (Be sure to see the ad, linked at top of paragraph)
Government must tell citizens "why" we need new regulations.
Government must identify the properties they want to regulate.
Government must identify how much damage they will cause to the use and value of private property.
Government must determine if voluntary or cooperative programs can accomplish the goals.
If our elected officials and agencies then decide to damage the use and value of private property, they must follow the state Constitution and pay for the damage.
• MYTH 1: The government will not go bankrupt.
Although opponents say this will cause the government to go bankrupt, the government can avoid paying compensation by creating fairer laws that don't drastically harm property.
Secure property rights causes greater investment and a healthy economy.
• MYTH 2: I-933 will prevent the government from creating regulations that are necessary to keep us safe.
• I-933 does not impact regulations that:
Prevent an immediate threat to human health and safety,
Prevent harm from earthquakes, flooding, fire, etc.;
Limit the location or operation of sex offender housing or adult entertainment;
Require adherence to chemical use restrictions that have been adopted by the EPA;
Require Worker health and safety laws or regulations and wage and hour laws.
fyi
pls ping anyone you know who is interested
I got two friends to vote for 933 today,fingers crossed.
I said it before and I'll say it again........ It's a damn shame we even NEED this initiative!
Wa state voter PING
I think the ad is very powerful and effective, but I wonder how many folks even know the facts about the initiative.
Good work. !!
Thanks a million, Gretchen! I've only recently even taken a look at the ballot initiatives.
Let's all have a great weekend.
Yeah! And I think it will be a damn shame when our worthless legislature sues us to have the initiative recinded. Like they have done so many times before.
Would that thou art pinged.
A great weekend to you, too.
Thanks for the ping!
Awww. I keep my FRiends close!
Initiatives BUMP.
One tricky issue is what to do about properties which have been sold after the government destroyed their value. If anyone should be compensated, it would be the former owner. On the other hand, one of the premises of this initiative is that government may unroll regulations rather than paying out money to impacted land owners. If regulations are rolled back, I don't see any way for the former landowner to receive his just compensation.
Check this out and pass it on. It will be showing on cable this weekend.

I was up in the air how to vote on this one.
Then I looked at who supported and was against it. Made an easy decision to vote with "my kind" - that being FOR 933.
Ok, I want to get this straight, yes on 920, 933, no on 1, 937. Is this right? I knew I was anti-937 because it is endorsed by "Concerned 'Scientists' of America"
Thank you, GretchenM
Pre-election exposure bump
That often helps me too.
