draggonlaadyEyman files referendum to force gay rights vote

OLYMPIA, Wash. - Initiative activist Tim Eyman on Monday filed a referendum to bring the gay civil rights legislation to a vote of the people.
The bill cleared the Legislature on Friday and Governor Christine Gregoire said she'll sign it into law on Tuesday.
The law adds homosexuals to the categories protected from discrimination in jobs, housing, lending and insurance.
Eyman said politicians aren't thinking about what the voters want. He said lawmakers are deciding the issue based on special interest group pressure and their own re-election calculations. Eyman says voters should decide.
One lawmaker, Representative Karen Fraser of Olympia, accused Eyman of "bullying" and using the issue as a money-making scheme for his organization, "Permanent Offense."
Eyman also is filing another initiative to limit car license renewal fees to $30.
His "permanent offense" is offensive to me.
