If we do not have a strong voter turn out for the 2009 election in Washington, the domestic partnership law may not survive. 77% of the electorate may support treating all families equally under the law, but if history repeats itself than we have no one to blame but ourselves for not protecting ALL Washington families. The solution is simple. We must vote, register to vote, register our friends to vote, and verify our voter registration is up to date with the Washington Secretary of State. When you receive your ballot in the mail, do not procrastinate. Vote early. Expect ballots to arrive on or around October 14. Ballots are due November 3. Approve Referendum 71.
