Help is needed in Washington state. If we are going to win this war, we 
will probably have to do it state by state. Here is a chance to win a 
battle. Leon Felkins

>On Thursday, January 31 at 8 AM the House Judiciary committee will 

>consider the two asset forfeiture bills that have been proposed -- HB 2530 

>and HB 2377.

>

>HB 2530 is identical to our initiative I-256.

>HB 2377 is a similar bill in many respects but requires somewhat more 

>modest changes in civil asset forfeiture. As originally written it would 

>have affected all asset forfeiture related to crime, however it is being 

>amended to affect only drug-related asset forfeiture.

>

>Liberty Initiatives would prefer to see HB2530 pass but if HB2377 passes 

>it will be a great victory for all of us.

>

>The potential for real asset forfeiture reform would stand little chance 

>in the legislature this year but for the efforts of the I-256 volunteers 

>and a few dedicated legislators; we have put the issue before the legislature.

>

>The legislature can move this legislation and may do so, but only if they 

>believe that the public really wants this change. Most legislators are 

>afraid of the label "soft-on-crime". If you show up and testify to the 

>importance of this reform, we may get it.

>

>Please show up and testify or encourage those that do.

>I hope to see you there.
