UPDATE —Referendum Denied by the WA State Supreme Court BUT Warning TLDR -today the WA state supreme court ruled that the legislature can prevent the voters from exercising a referendum when the legislature raises taxes -We believe this is an incorrect and tortured reading of the constitution and inconsistent with the very strong protections placed in the constitution to limit the governments ability to tax -Nevertheless that is the way the court has ruled So what does that mean? Several important points below: Supreme Court 1) 5 of 9 supreme court seats will be up for election in November. You need to vote 2) Unlike in past years there are legitimate constitutionally focused challengers to the Bob Ferguson appointees so you will have a choice this year 3) You need to be informed, donate, talk to neighbors about the supreme court Initiatives 1) We now shift our focus to an initiative… pre-register for us to send initiative sheets to your home at letsgowa.com 2) Sign up to volunteer and to keep updated letsgowa.com/volunteer 3) Donate letsgowa.com/donate Lawsuit Implications IMPORTANT PLEASE READ 1) Although we lost our case before the supreme court, they issued the following words “Consistent with the words of the constitution and our unbroken line of precedent, ….“. See the screen shot below 2) These words matter enormously because the supreme court has ruled 7 times that income is property and property may not be taxed above 1% nor may it be applied unevenly to citizens. 3) There is a separate lawsuit challenging the legality of the income tax in the first place and as the supreme court indicates that it is bound by “unbroken” precedent, it would be highly inconsistent and blatantly idealogical for them to deny our petition based on precedent while ignoring much deeper and more widely argued precedent that income is property and therefore 6346 is an illegal tax under the constitution. -The income tax is coming for you if you don’t join the fight. -Unchecked and reckless spending of your tax dollars will continue if you don’t join the fight -People will leave and businesses will shut down if you don’t join the fight now Fight back now letsgowa.com

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…
