Sporting Systems10/24/2019 6:58pmInitiative 1094 Repeal 1639 progress updateAs 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, BurlingtonPeninsula: Fred Guns, SequimPuget Sound: Rehv Arms, CovingtonNortheast: Sharpshooters Range, SpokaneSoutheast: Talos Tactical, West RichlandSouthwest: Sporting SystemsEach 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 eventsHoliday partiesGun showsGrocery storesChurch servicesRalliesPublic spaces/Parks/Busy SidewalksBe 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.
Luttrell's Auto in Walla Walla has petitions for signing.
Yes sir
If we don’t fix the root cause of the abuses of the initiative process, we will continue to have anti-gun, anti-hunting, and anti-trapping laws shoved down our throats by well-funded anti-gun, anti-hunting, and anti-trapping zealots.
Anyone have a list or link of places this can be signed?

I am not one of the founders or members of the group driving this, I just want to help spread the word.

I think people in this state tend to default to the Yes vote for most initiatives. Maybe if it was worded like the Eyeman initiatives with the "repeal this tax" (it does have an associated tax), it could get more votes.
