Fighting for taxpayers for 27 years

It was Tuesday, August 30, 2016.

The rally was in Everett at the Comcast Arena.

The lines were miles long.

But I got in.

Not only that …

I got to meet him.

Here’s the update I sent out the following day. It really captures my enthusiasm:

TRUMP RALLY WAS A BLAST

It was the Super Bowl, no doubt about it. Yesterday’s Trump rally at Comcast Arena in Everett was a blast. Fellow political junkies everywhere, everyone smiling and laughing, hugs right and left (OK, hugs right and far right). Hats, shirts, signs, bumper stickers.

And one person after another stopping me, shaking my hand, and asking for a photo after hitting me with “hey, aren’t you Tim … uh, that car tabs guy?” Too cool. 

It was like a family reunion. So many friends and supporters of our initiatives were there. Lots of handshakes and pats on the back. I said ‘thank you’ over and over and over again.

And since a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s several thousand words worth from yesterday: 

Thanks to super supporter Larry Sundquist and great friend Don Benton, I was able to attend the fundraiser beforehand. 

It was a real thrill to get a picture with “The Donald”. 

I managed to get 4 words out of my mouth (which was tough because I was so star-struck meeting him): 

“I admire your courage.” 

Here’s my vantage point during the rally:

Amazing energy and enthusiasm from thousands of smiling political junkies.

The screen overhead — too cool:

I attended Hillary’s rally in Everett — it was civil and polite. 

I went to Bernie’s rally in Seattle — it certainly had its moments but frankly it’s pretty darn easy to be a progressive/liberal presidential candidate in Seattle. 

Trump‘s rally? The crackling energy and enthusiasm was off the charts.

Being a conservative in Texas is easy. Being a conservative in Washington is a whole lot tougher. But it’s exactly because of that difficulty — the fact you’re constantly outnumbered — it gives you a sort of siege mentality, grit, and determination because you know you’re constantly behind enemy lines. Above all, you develop a sense of humor. 

So you get in an arena with 10,000+ like-minded happy warriors, and you can’t help but smile and enjoy yourself. 

You don’t get mad at the yelling, screaming, red-faced protesters, you laugh at ’em. 

Politics is critically important, but it’s also enormously fun. I’m a political junkie. I live and breathe this stuff 24/7/365. So for me, yesterday was an absolute blast.  

The voters’ passage of our Initiative 1366 last year certainly shows that the people are in no mood for tax hikes. You can count on us to fight against next year’s tax-hiking insanity in Olympia.

— END —

No matter what, I’m going to continue to do everything I can to be the most effective conservative activist I can be.

I know I’m very lucky to have so many friends in my corner as I fight back against Bully Bob Ferguson.

Because of your support, I am appealing the AG’s ridiculously unconstitutional ruling because it’s so absurd:

* Lifetime ban on all future political activity?
* I’m no longer a person, I’m forever designated a ‘continuing political committee’?
* $5.5 million?
* Prohibiting me from earning money for the rest of my life?

I urge you to help me beat Bully Bob by donating to the Tim Eyman Legal Defense Fund RIGHT NOW!
