GREETINGS CONSERVATIVES!
State Initiative I-552
I received this email from “Just Want Privacy,” an advocacy group:
“Dear San Juan County Republicans,
On May 20th the Washington State Republican Party passed a resolution stating:
“Be it resolved that the Washington State Republican Party calls on all Washington state voters to sign and gather signatures to certify initiative 1552 before the July 7thdeadline.”
Our State needs to gather 330,000 signatures supporting this petition by July 1st to place this initiative on the November ballot. Divide that number by 39 counties, and each county needs to get approximately 8,400 signatures….but 1,600 signatures from San Juan County would be wonderful!
If each Republican accepts the challenge of gathering signatures then we can have a great impact in this important issue that will bless our community for years to come!
Here is the challenge: Will each GoP member take responsibility to fill out 1 full petition page (20 signatures on each page.)? We know some will get more and some will get less; that is completely acceptable. Remember every signature counts!!”
I have placed the full article on our website here. For Just Want Privacy’s website, go here. We need people who are willing to help organize this.
