Washington State Initiative I-1000
By Alex Schadenberg
The initiative to legalize assisted suicide in Washington State appears to be gaining ground.
The Death With Dignity I-1000 campaign to legalize assisted suicide in Washington State has effectively raised one million dollars. They have organizations such as the leading assisted suicide lobby group - Compassion & Choices, working to raise more money on a national basis and they have the former governor of Washington State, Booth Gardner, as a lead campaigner.
Every American who opposes assisted suicide, whether they be disability rights activists, palliative care professionals, pro-life supporters or any person in general, needs to join the campaign to oppose I-1000.
Initiative I-1000 supporters are currently collecting signatures throughout the State of Washington. Due to the money they are spending on paid signature collectors I expect that they should be able to collect 226,000 valid signatures.
We cannot wait until the signature campaign is verified before we start to raise the necessary money to oppose the legalization of Oregon Style assisted suicide in Washington State.
The Campaign against assisted suicide in Washington State must become the priority for all Americans who oppose assisted suicide.
Please go to the website http://noassistedsuicide.com/ and donate money or offer support today.

Last week outside the Safeway near where I work there were a few guys collecting petitions for this bill. My co-worker and I refused to sign it, and when he told us that lots of people seem to have mixed feelings about it, we told him that our feelings are FAR from mixed.
Interestingly, they also were collecting signatures for a petition that appeared to be for an increase in funding for care for handicapped and elderly people. I can't find any information about it though because I can't remember what it was called.
Will it ever be safe in this world to be old, sick, or to have a disability?
Euthanasia's much better when it's illegal. It's because of this that I can sell Nembutal and Zyklon B to people for ten million dollars a bottle.
