To the Editor:

The Bigot Buster [Steering] Committee would like to thank the members of 
the community and the many organizations and businesses for their support 
of our activities both during the course of the campaign to keep I-608 
and I-610 off the ballot and for the ongoing moral support shown since 
the defeat of these initiatives on July 8.  Because of this broad-based 
support we have decided that you, our supporters, deserve to know how 
much money was raised and how it was spent.  We therefore submit the 
following financial information about our campaign:

Revenues:
	Cash			$3279
	In-kind contributions	  582
				-----	
	Total Revenues:			$3861

Expenditures:
	Fund raising		$ 181
	Communications		  784
	Printing		 2087
	Postage/shipping	  156
	Supplies/Misc.		   81
				-----
	Total Expenses:			$3289
					-----
Current Balance (7/17/94)		$ 572

With ongoing expenses, such as minimum time commitment to our cellular 
phone system, and expenses unreported to date, we anticipate an ending 
balance of less than one hundred dollars.  

We would like to thank Queer Nation/Seattle for its cash contribution of 
$525.00, the single largest contribution that we received during the 
campaign, on that came at a time of critical cash shortage for Bigot 
Busters and enabled us to keep the organization going.

We also extend our gratitude to the following businesses and 
organizations which helped us sell and distribute our bumper stickers: 
Bailey-Coy Books, CC Slaughters, Changes, Changes Too, The Crypt, The 
Cuff, Erotic Bakery, District and County Organizations of the Democratic 
Party, The Eagle, Freedom Socialist Party Bookstore, Gallery Cafe, Hands 
Off Washington information tables and statewide (county) coalitions, 
Imprints Bookstore (Tacoma), Lesbian Resource Center, several MCC 
churches around the state, The Pink Zone, Post Option, PFLAG, Queen Anne 
Ave. Books, R Place, The Romper Room, Seattle Eagle, Stampola, The 
Timberline, Thumpers, Time Out Tavern, The Wildrose and others.  

A special thanks to Pilgrim Congregational Church for the use of their 
facilities and providing space for our training meetings.  Kudos to the 
Seattle Gay News for providing us with the phone line that was all 
important in our communications and dispatching system and for repeatedly 
publishing our hotline number week after week so that it was readily 
available to the community.  

And to all the individuals who gave so generously of their time, money 
and moral support, and with whom we share this victory, our sincere 
thank you!

Yours truly,

Bill Dubay
Treasurer
