This is Democracy in Action, thanks to the lovely people of the state of Washington.
Well, politics doesn't get any more unusual than I-831, a state-wide initiative to officially proclaim that Tim Eyman is a Horse's Ass!
No, I-831 doesn't stop Tim from profiteering off his irresponsible initiatives. No, it doesn't force the Legislature to actually legislate. And no, it doesn't even attempt to reform the initiative process.
But neither does it cripple the state's ability to maintain its roads and schools, nor does it threaten the health, safety and education of its people... so as far as initiatives go, it's harmless. (And in a bid to win Tim's supporters: it doesn't raise taxes!)
So, if you agree that the initiative process has become a joke, join us in getting the last laugh. With your help, we'll show Tim that he's not the only horse's ass who can get a spectacularly stupid initiative on the ballot.
