It’s official.

Last week we got our ballot number — 594.

And this week, we got the language from the secretary of state, which will be finalized the week of July 8. After that, we can start our petition drive to make sure that criminal background checks are on the ballot in 2014.

We’re going to make sure that every single person purchasing a gun in Washington has to pass a criminal background check — and keep our families safe.

To do that, we need your help — click here to add your name to the thousands of Washingtonians who demand a criminal background check for firearm purchases.

We’re very excited by how quickly this campaign has been coming together, and that is a direct result of the support of thousands of folks just like you.

Thanks for stepping up.

Talk to you soon,

Zach
