Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed filed a brief with the 9th circuit on September 28, in the lawsuit John Doe #1 v Reed, 09-35818. This is the case over whether the Constitution requires that signatures on petitions be considered private, not public information. A U.S. District Court judge had ruled on September 10 in favor of secrecy, and enjoined the Secretary of State from releasing the names and addresses of signers of the petition to require a public vote on the civil unions law passed earlier this year by the legislature. Supporters of the law had wanted to post the names and addresses of the petition signers on the internet.
No shortage of EVIL Stalin and Hitler clones trying to enforce their EVIL control freak statism on the People — via TERROR — i.e. disclosure of petition names and addresses regarding *controversial* issues — i.e. potential DEATH – HIT lists.
How many petitions for and against King George III before 19 April 1775 — Battles of Lexington and Concord — Day 1 of the American Revolutionary WAR ?
i.e. Worry a whole lot more about domestic terrorists besides the BARBARIAN terrorists in Asia ?
