ATTN WA Members: I-1094 petition drive to repeal I-1639

Postby lamrith » 10 25, 2019 •  [Post 1]

Calling on fellow WA members to get involved and help with this initiative. Sorry out of staters, not much you can do on this one other than moral support.
I am not one of the founders or members of the group driving this, I just want to help spread the word.
The primary location and source of information on this initiative has been Facebook #SILENTNOMORE group. I know many here do not have or use it so I wanted to get the info out and spread the word.

Sporting Systems has been instrumental in helping push this thru.
This has been an ongoing process getting the legal framework and pieces in place but the initiative is now approved by WA Sec of State.

Initiative 1094 Repeal 1639 progress update

As you're all aware, the roll out of this grassroots repeal effort has had a few hiccups. This wasn't our rodeo, but we see our fellow Washington citizens struggling and we have stepped in to remedy the situation.

We have taken the steps to set up the Political Action Committee (PAC) #F1639. This is required to be compliant with Washington election law and prevent legal issues for the Initiative organizers. We will not seek individual donations to help cover the cost, as that's a huge administrative headache, this is our gift to the citizens of Washington. Our free online 1639 class was the warm up gift.

We have ordered 20,000 signature sheets, 17"x22", doubled sided as required by Washington law. If its anything other than that size, printed front and back, it will be REJECTED by the Secretary of State's office. The size is difficult and expensive to print.

Printing will be completed through this weekend, its a pretty big order for any print shop on a short lead time. We should be getting these to shops on Monday/Tuesday.

Logistics:

We have 6 primary distribution sites across the state. They will have the sheets by TUESDAY if all goes well. Pay attention to the social feeds and we'll share announces through our social page as well.

North: Skagit Arms, Burlington
Peninsula: Fred Guns, Sequim
Puget Sound: Rehv Arms, Covington
Northeast: Sharpshooters Range, Spokane
Southeast: Talos Tactical, West Richland
Southwest: Sporting Systems

Each location will have petitions to sign, or to pick up copies for you to use, hopefully you will be able to register voters at these locations as well.

Ranges, gunshops, gunclubs, or other groups wanting to distribute signature sheets should pick up sheets at these locations. We will maintain a post of gun shops that have sheets available for distribution or signing. Sheets will not be mailed or shipped, the PDF won't be shared any longer either as too many wrong sized sheets are already in circulation, a tremendous waste of time and energy...as well as lost voters.

Please do not call, email or message these shops about information (its overwhelming), but follow their social feeds for information.

VOTERS:
WA registered voters ONLY.

Do not sign more than one sheet, it will result in both signatures being tossed out.

Signature and voter information MUST be legible.

Completed sheets, return to the distribution points or mail per the instructions on the signature sheets.

Signatures must be on a sheet that meets all of the Washington election laws, for size, content, readability and properly marked (unlike the Yes on 1639 campaign).

Please like and share this post. This is all grassroots effort, the citizens are standing up and fighting back. We need everyone on board to gather 300,000 signatures before December 27th. It won't be easy, but its not that hard either.

Potential signature gathering locations, private locations will require permission from the property owner:
Sporting events
Holiday parties
Gun shows
Grocery stores
Church services
Rallies
Public spaces/Parks/Busy Sidewalks

Be respectful and polite collecting signatures, but please make the effort.

We learned a lot with our NO on 1639 campaign and hope those lessons will help this effort here. Now gear up, get work done and #F1639.

FACEBOOK GROUP #F1639-Repeal 1639 will be the Social page to watch for current information too.
