Washington Public Campaigns

We need many thousands of supporters to make Clean Campaigns (or Voter-owned Campaigns) a reality in Washington State. The public at large doesn't know that there is a remedy for our political stalemates and maladies. Once people learn about public financing of campaigns, they become passionate advocates— and support spreads like wildfire.

The Petition and Pledge signatures will demonstate the number of our supporters statewide. The growing totals will be posted on the website.
Public Education "Tipping Point": When you say Clean Campaigns or Clean Elections, you no longer have to explain it.

GOALS:
~20,000 Clean Campaigns Petition signatures in 2008
~As many Clean Campaigns Pledges as possible (1500 people are running for office statewide) Pledge signers so far

These goals are preparation for the 2008 legislative session and probable initiative (ballot measure proposed by citizens) in 2009-2010. We are seeking sway with the legislature and sponsorship opportunities for continued advocacy.

We think you'll be proud to say you're a volunteer for Washington Public Campaigns. You're not a paid advocate. That says everything about our cause. Volunteer Opportunities

Why not do an Initiative now?
Bringing a citizens' initiative to the ballot is very costly. We don't yet have the broad-based support that we need — but we WILL, and these tools will help us get there.
