Casting your VOTE in this POLL only takes a few seconds.  It is located in the right-hand column.

Do you support or oppose expanding background checks on gun sales?

Even though there may not be much credibility in these types of Polls, they can have a psychological effect.  Don't let the anti's come out ahead.  This is another opportunity to speak up.

Let's turn the numbers around ASAP.  VOTE "Oppose" to expanded background checks; I-594 is a BAD initiative.

It's now at 50% oppose, vs 46%   I hope that's how it comes out after the vote.

Just posted the Facebook cover and the video on Facebook.

Also, if you go to the Vote No! 594 website, there's a place to do some simple grassroots work to assist them. Just follow these steps:

1.  Click on https://www.voteno594.com/

2.  Click on the "TAKE ACTION" link (https://www.voteno594.com/take-action/)

3.  Click on "Volunteer" and choose the ways you're willing to volunteer.

4.  Fill out your contact info and viola!

I asked my neighbors if they'd post signs and they said "Sure! Fill up my yard!"  If each of us asked our neighbors, we'd make a huge impact.

What will be sad is this jackwagon 594 initiative will likely be decided in King and Pierce county. But, my hopes are up and Vote NO 594!

I just shared the previous ad on my Facebook page.

It looks like they removed the POLL.  The question now reads, "Have you ever seen a ghost?". 

 
I guess the POLL wasn't going in the direction they wanted so they removed it.  Watch for these things as the anti-gun zealots try to slip them in under the radar to gain a psychological edge.

Can someone tell me, is i594 an initiative of the people or an initiative of the legislature? In reading the government Standards of Service, one becomes law automatically if a majority votes for it, the other goes to the legislature.

It's an initiative, which is made law by a simple majority Vote. i believe a referendum would be an "R" bill on the ballot. If the majority votes for I-594, it becomes law until such time as another Initiative overrides it OR the state Supreme Court rules it unconstitutional.

Found this interesting info on the initiative:

Mostly right.
