@FriedgeHNIC Wondering why there is no cross check here?

@czabe Totally agree and with a lineup of sub-par commentators; Bones may be the worst

Something is rotten in the State of Denmark/Washington
(1 of 4)
Warning TLDR but actually you should read it…

THE SETUP - Undisclosed Hearings to invalidate the Initiatives

-Friday afternoon I received an urgent phone call
“The WA Supreme Court is deciding a case in 2 hours on the Let’s Go WA initiatives”
-The case has been in motion since Jan 2024
- We have received not one word or one peep from the AG or from the SOS that we should even be aware of this case
-We found out about it because a reporter Jerry Cornfield @dospueblos happened to be looking at the docket of the WA supreme court that morning

SOME DETAILS - TWO CASES to invalidate the Initiatives
-There were in fact two cases before the WA supreme court both filed by people or groups that have given money to the AG’s run for governor (but that is just a completely random unrelated koinkidink)
-Defend WA a PAC funded by Nick Hanauer, SEIU & WEA Union Bosses, and his wealthy elitist friends
-and which is run by Nick’s Civic Ventures organization
-The second case was filed by the Washington Conservation Action Education Fund
-Both cases were against the SOS accusing the SOS of wrongly certifying in Case 1 all 6 of the original Let’s Go Wa initiatives and in Case 2 - wrongly certifying I -2066 preventing a Natural Gas Ban
-The cases together claimed that the SOS had improperly certified all 7 initiatives and that they should all be thrown out
-The nature of the claim seems to have been that the method used by the SOS since the 1970’s was not a proper way to validate voters and that simply verifying signatures was not enough and therefore all 7 initiatives should be invalidated
-The case was dismissed by a Superior Court Judge in April finding the SOS followed the law
-An appeal should have then gone to the appeals court but the Plaintiffs asked for expedited action and it was sent directly to the WA supreme court
-Still no notification to me or Lets Go WA whatsoever by any party that such a momentous and potentially consequential action was being taken agains the initiatives
-The supreme court could have rejected the case out of hand but they agreed to hear claims and findings
-In the documents filed, my name was mentioned directly as was Let’s Go WA
-I was accused of wrong doing and of breaking the law to collect the signatures in the filings by the plaintiffs (how was it appropriate in our system for a complete blackout of information about that accusation to me or Let’s Go WA?)
- We had only two hours to try to figure out what was going on and we had no possibility to get anyone down to the supreme court to intervene or to protect our position within the short time frame.
-And even if we had, the case was heard behind closed doors not open to the public
-The Attorney General’s office was tasked with defending the SOS against the charges
-Which they did
-And fortunately the Case was dismissed with a unanimous decision by all 9 Justices
-However, We were only two hours away from having all of our efforts to give Washingtonians a vote being taken away with not one single notice that these murky efforts were going on!!!

-The whole process leaves me with a number of questions

-Why were we never notified by any party that this stealth lawsuit was working its way through the system?
-The AG knew about this but said nothing,. Why?
-Several of the plaintiffs are donors to the AG’s campaign, should this not have made him even more sensitive to either recuse, or notify us that this was going on?
-I have praised SOS Hobbs for the prompt and professional non partisan way in which he and his staff handled the counting and certifying of the Initiatives. I am concerned however, that to my knowledge, neither he nor anyone from his staff ever reached out to me or anyone at Lets Go Wa …why this huuuuge oversight?

You should be mad - repost this and tell your friends what we are up against!!!!

@Super70sSports Went to the old Seattle Arena for a show as a kid. Got in line for a pop and The Playboy comes behinds us with a gorgeous blonde and buys a couple beers. An hour later he’s in the ring creating mayhem. Good times

@AaronEssman @Super70sSports Nothing like a Friday night listening to Frank Bonnema. The Flying Dutchman, Playboy, even saw Jimmy Snuka and Jesse The Body! Good times
