The Washington State Republican Party recently unanimously voted to endorse a NO vote on R-71.
Why a NO vote on R-71? A no vote will turn back the "everything but the name marriage" Senate Bill 5688 passed by the Democrat controlled Senate and signed into law by Governor Christine Gregoire.
The Washington State Legislature passed Senate Bill 5688 and it was signed by Governor Gregoire on May 18, 2009. expanding the rights and responsibilities of state registered domestic partners.

A Political Action Committee was organized to refer this controversial bill to the voters to decide by means of Referendum 71. The 120,577 signatures required to put it before a vote of the people were obtained and it will be on the November ballot..
SB 5688 is a 110 page document which includes the phrase "marriage shall apply equally to state registered domestic partnerships" 180 times.
On Saturday, August 29th, the Washington State Republican Party State Committee gave a resounding and enthusiastic endorsement to the efforts of those who collected the signatures to bring this issue to the voters to decide in November.
Luke Esser, Chairman of the Washington State Republican Party had this to say about the endorsement of a NO vote....
"The Washington State Republican Party is urging voters to reject Referendum 71 at the ballot in November. Supporters of the "everything but marriage" bill have made it clear that their bill is just the latest installment of an effort to mandate gay marriage in our state. The choice is clear for those who do not support gay marriage. Now that R-71 has qualified for the ballot, the voters will have the final say. Over the next two months it's important for voters to educate themselves on this measure and make sure their voice is heard at the ballot box."
