Violence Threats and Intimidation Don’t Belong in WA I was supposed to speak today at noon to the Thurston County Mainstream Republicans at a restaurant in Olympia. Instead, the restaurant received threats of violence and talk of protests in the street if the event went forward. They cancelled. Online, hateful reddit trolls posted my photo and were organizing to show up. (They have since deleted one of the posts.. hmmm) Consider who this hurts. A small local restaurant, a room full of neighbors who wanted to hear about three ballot measures, and every Washingtonian who believes you answer speech with more speech. We've seen this before. Signature gatherers for Let's Go Washington have been harassed, shoved and threatened. Signature sheets have been stolen, torn, or defaced, all by people who say they're fighting "hate." So here's a simple request to No Hate in WA State: say it plainly. Political violence and threats have no place in Washington, and anyone doing it in your cause's name or agenda should cut it out. We're looking into whether a police report has been filed. We will not be intimidated. And neither should you. The best answer to people who try to scare you into silence is a ballot in a drop box: data.letsgowashington.com/ba… Vote YES. Vote YES. Vote YES. IP26-645, IL26-001 & IL26-63
