REFERENDUM 71 Petitioners not paid to tell truth Paid petitioners ($1 per signature) are gathering signatures this week at a Wal-Mart in Bellingham, to get the anti-domestic partnership Referendum 71 on the ballot. The petitioners are using slander as a means of getting voters to sign.They say domestic partnerships are harmful to children, that public schools will have to teach children about homosexuality, that the legislation was passed without our permission and that the courts will be tied up with divorce cases. I want to personally thank all the supportive people up in Bellingham who have gone to Wal-Mart and stood beside the signature gatherers and gracefully informed the would-be signers that what they’re being told is not based on truth. The voters of Washington elected legislators to enact laws. The referendum process often frustrates the legislative process of debate. If voters don’t approve of what lawmakers do, then they should elect a Legislature that will enact laws they can approve of. Bob Teichman Tulalip |
