Love for all, not some. Do not fuck this up Washington State.

After a review of the 137,000 signatures collected to get R-71 on the November ballot, approximately 16,000 were found to be invalid. The law, that would have expanded domestic partnership laws in Washington State, was supposed to take effect on July 26. R-71’s opposition campaign put that on hold.

Despite the question of legitimacy regarding the 16,000 signatures, as of now, R-71 still considered to have enough “legitimate” signatures to be included on the ballot. If the referendum does appear on the November ballot, the law would take effect only if approved by voters Nov. 3. That means if you don’t want Washington State to take a giant step backwards in the fight for equality for ALL, you must vote to approve R-71.

I’ll be blogging updates of this issue every step of the way so stayed tuned.
