A website is vowing to post  the names of people signing petitions for the state referendum to overturn the ‘everything but marriage’ bill ONLINE.

I admit, it’s legal, but it shouldn’t be happening. People signing petitions shouldn’t fear intimidation for putting their name down on a petition — it goes against our American sensibility of fairness and privacy in democracy.

This group (who you can check out online at http://whosigned.org/) should be ashamed of what they’re doing.

A couple of callers on PM Bellingham tonight wanted more info on how to sign a petition for Referendum 71. Here’s a website with more info on that:

I noticed that locally, Cindy Honcoop with the Washington Eagle Forum is involved with the effort, so I’m guessing you could contact her.
