WA ping request
Democrats love to talk about "real democracy," which always seems to require the exclusion of those pesky voters.
I guess waiting for the courts to continually slam conservative initiatives isn't good enough for the legislators. They just can't have the people voicing their opinions.
Not surprising that this kind of communism comes from Baghdad Jim McDermott.
WA State Ping...JFK
Have you seen the Climate Change Executive Order that Gregoire issued? It's Executive Order 07-02. That's why they want to get rid of the initiative process. The executive order is equivalent of the Kyoto treaty and includes some suspicious wording of forced unionization and plans to increase the gov't jobs to make up for non-green jobs. It puts restrictions on building and just a host of other regualations. Then there is the proposed income tax to support all this regulation.
But are they going to do anything about people using Mailboxes Etc, and like "residential addresses" to vote, or what about felons ... oh that's right, they are proposing to do something alright. Let them vote without paying their fines and to top if off let them out a year early!
