A Note on “Advisory Votes”
According to Permanent Defense:
Conceived by disgraced initiative promoter Tim Eyman, these measures masquerade as legitimate ballot measures when they are in fact a form of push poll, similar to the widely hated malicious telephone attack campaigns classified as a “DIRTY TRICK” by Safire’s Political Dictionary.
We recommend voting “MAINTAIN” on all twelve of these votes:
- Advisory Vote No. 20: Second Substitute House Bill 1087
- Advisory Vote No. 21: Engrossed Third Substitute House Bill 1324
