Does Eyman Have Enough Signatures for His Anti-Gay Referendum?
Looks like we many find out on Monday, one day before the signature-gathering deadline. Eyman just sent out an email saying that he’ll be dropping off a bunch of signed petitions at the Secretary of State’s office at 11 a.m. that day — although his email doesn’t specify the type of petitions he’ll be dropping off, or the number of signatures that will be on them.
I just called Eyman for some clarification, and he said: “I don’t have anything to add to the email.” Then he hung up on me.
For anyone who wants to try his or her hand at reading the tea-leaves in this cryptic Eyman email, it’s in the jump. My assumption is that Eyman’s talking about his Referendum 65, which would repeal this state’s new gay civil rights law and needs over 100,000 signatures to get on the ballot, but who knows…

RE: EYMAN, FAGANS BRINGING DOWN PETITIONS TO SECT'Y OF STATE, MON, 11 AM
We'll be bringing down petitions to the Secretary of State's 520 Union Building offices on Monday, June 5th at 11 am. They've told us that their main lobby is under construction and so we'll be using the east entrance (off Cherry Street).
Hope to see you there. My cell phone number is XXX-XXX-XXXX.
Regards,
Tim Eyman
It will be interesting to see how many signatures they got. I was at the Trader Joe's down in Burien last weekend, and some poor closet case was trying to collect signatures, but no one was interested. A little old lady told him that he should be ashamed of himself.
