Just Say NO to the BIAW!

Earlier in the week you may have received a flier in the mail from a Political Action Committee (PAC) called “It's Time for a Change”. This flier listed several less than truthful attacks against Governor Gregoire's economic record. You, as a concerned citizen and voter may be interested in some related facts about this PAC that is attacking Governor Gregoire:

  1. It's Time for a Change” spent $1.4 million dollars on mailers, radio ads, and tv ads.

  2. It is funded entirely by another political action committee, “ChangePAC”.

  3. ChangePAC” received $1.4 million in donations from the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW).

  4. In case you weren't already convinced, all three of the above organizations have the same address and treasurer.
