   "Let's Go WA" (LGW) is a nonpartisan political organization that seeks to   
   protect, among other things, parental rights and girls sports in   
   Washington state. According to LGW's website, it "is proud to work with   
   people on the entire political spectrum. Over 57% of signers were Democrat   
   or Independent. We are proud to be working with a diverse coalition of   
   supporters from many different political backgrounds as we fix what’s   
   broken."   
      
   They are currently working on two ballot initiatives: IL26-001,   
   "Strengthen Communication Between Parents and Schools" and IL26-638,   
   "Protecting Fairness in Girls’ Sports."   
      
   LGW has also been the target of ongoing harassment and intimidation, as   
   they wrote on their website (emphasis original):   
      
   Signature collectors have been physically harassed, threatened, and   
   surrounded by organized protestors. In one of the most disturbing   
   incidents a women stole petition sheets and committed a hit-and-run as he   
   was escaping in her vehicle.   
      
   A bus driver in Vancouver, operating a taxpayer-funded vehicle, parked   
   strategically to block visibility of initiative tables.   
      
   At a Tumwater Middle School event on October 4, a peaceful signature-   
   gathering and speaking event turned chaotic when protestors became violent   
   and threatening. Police and even fathers in the audience had to step in to   
   protect a 16-year-old female athlete who was speaking in support of the   
   initiatives.   
      
   LGW is chronicling all of this in a thread on X, and here are the above-   
   mentioned incidents:

   Case 11: While police were taking down information about the hit and run   
   suspect, this person destroyed the property and signs of the gatherer   
   outside the store in Tacoma. Police were on the scene and arrested the   
   individual for destroying another person's property.

   As of Thursday morning, there have been more than 30 reports, some of them   
   captured on video, of signature gatherers being shoved, screamed at,   
   threatened with violence, and petitions being damaged or stolen.   
      
   At least two people have been arrested, and law enforcement officials are   
   following up on more than a dozen police reports with charges pending.   
      
   Now there's another incident at a Covington, WA, Walmart. An employee   
   stole signature forms and destroyed them.   
      
   Deputies responded and put the suspect in handcuffs "for show" before   
   letting him get away.

   A truly awful look.   
      
   Here’s what the PD chief tells me:   
      
   “We are reviewing the incident involving the signature gatherer at   
   Walmart.  We will be meeting with the officers at Covington PD to ensure   
   we appropriately respond to this type of incident in the future.  Although

   The chief said, "We are reviewing the incident involving the signature   
   gatherer at Walmart.  We will be meeting with the officers at Covington PD   
   to ensure we appropriately respond to this type of incident in the future.   
   Although the suspect was not booked, the suspect, in this incident was   
   charged with Theft in the Third Degree and Malicious Mischief in the Third   
   Degree and those charges were submitted to prosecutor that same day."   
      
   As one X user noted, this is not a misdemeanor.

   So they did not properly charge him with a felony.   
      
   https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=29A.84.550   
      
   It is a felony under WA state law:   
      
   Any person who willfully defaces, removes, or destroys any of the supplies   
   or materials that the person knows are intended both for use in a voting   
   center, election office, ballot counting area, ballot storage area, or   
   election system including materials and systems meant for enabling a voter   
   to prepare the voter's ballot is guilty of a class C felony punishable   
   under RCW 9A.20.021.   
      
   A class C felony is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000   
   fine.   
      
   This is, once again, a Leftist attack on conservative principles and   
   actual democracy. LGW is working in the democratic process to put   
   initiatives on the ballot for a democratic vote.   
      
   Yet they are being harassed, threatened, and assaulted for doing their   
   work.   
      
   Where is the Democratic Party? They have spent years calling themselves   
   the "defenders of democracy" while turning a blind eye to the Leftists who   
   are undermining democracy in places like WA.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
