It’s on your ballot and it is filthy and disgusting. And it is a state wide issue.

This is gamesmanship from the political hack, Bob Ferguson. The same hack who wrote an incredibly inaccurate description regarding the transgender bathroom issue.

The Todd Herman 2016 voters guide

Its Initiative 1501 and none other than the Seattle Weekly takes this initiative to task. 

The description in the ballot says that the initiative concerns seniors or vulnerable individuals. Who could possible by against vulnerable people and seniors? But what doesn’t concern seniors and vulnerable people?

Do you see the word “union” in this initiative? You should, but you don’t. What this issue actually does is make it illegal for groups like the Freedom Foundation to contact state licensed caregivers and let them know that they don’t have to join the union.  

There is no possible way to make a decision on this Initiative because there are no facts in the description in the ballot. 

This is the problem with the modern union movement because there is always force involved.

It’s an unbelievable political scam and swindle. Vote no on 1501.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
