Your ballot has two important questions on it. The first is Tim Eyman’s Initiative-1033. Lifelong AIDS Alliance has taken a stand against Tim Eyman’s latest initiative, 1033, and we want to remind you to vote NO and mail in your ballot right away. I-1033 would lock in this year's recession-level budgets for the state, counties, and cities, and use them as baselines for all future spending.
I-1033 is based on a similar measure that was tried in Colorado, with disastrous consequences. In fact, it did so much damage to Colorado's health care system, education, and economy that voters suspended the law in 2005.
We can't let that happen here. Eyman's I-1033 would devastate Washington State residents, especially those living with HIV/AIDS - and it will take all of us to stand up and say NO on 1033.
Some voters in King County have had problems locating I-1033 in the lower left corner below the instructions. It is important that nobody miss voting against this devastating Eyman initiative.
Referendum 71 is the other statewide question on the ballot. R-71, if approved would expand domestic partnership rights to be equal to those of marriage, except that domestic partnerships are not marriage.
Ballots must be post marked by Tuesday, November 3. Check out http://www.waballotguide.com/?src=LAA to find out more about both of these statewide questions and more information on county propositions.
