If you want to get an initiative on the ballot in Washington state you need a lot of signatures: nearly a quarter million valid ones from registered voters
Jonathan Tong from Washington explains why he spends his weekends collecting signatures to qualify Washington Government Accountability Act for the ballot in 2016.
"I do this for a lot of different reasons but mainly because I have two teenage daughters and I want them to have a decent democracy to inherit when they grow up. I'm also a high school teacher and I want my students to have the kind of democracy they deserve. I want them to have the kind of democracy they think they have when they pledge allegiance to the flag every morning."
Go Jonathan!
