What do you expect, it's the same legislature that proposed a State Income Tax.

Vote her out!!!! She has proven she does not care for society or the people that vote her in, she only cares about rasing taxes and californicating Wa..

I support recalling Gregoire http://www.idiotorliar.com/

It's time for ASID to close shop.

Just received this email:

Greetings fellow warriors,

I and several other designers have pulled together to form a different design association. We are AIDP, the Association of Interior Design Professionals. www-aidponline.com

There needed to be an alternative to ASID, one that recognizes that not all professionals come to the same place in the same way.

Our mantra is to Promote, Partner and Prosper.

How are we different? We are an organization that is ruled from the bottom. The organization will serve the needs of it's members. The members won't cowtow to the desires of the few at the top. We intend to PROMOTE the value of all Design Professionals, not just the ones that can jump through hoops established by the few and PROMOTE the right of the public to choose their Interior Design Professional. We intend to PARTNER with one another through our website, with our vendors, tradespeople and the public to create truly memorable spaces. We will all PROSPER when we create a win-win environment for designer, vendor and client.

We incorporated January 1, 2009 and currently have chapters in Metro DC, New Jersey, Upstate New York, High Point NC and are working to establish chapters in California, Texas, Florida, Chicago. Our goal is to be a global organization for the benefit of Interior Design Professionals at all levels.

We look forward to partnering with IJ, IDPC, NKBA, NARI and any other organization whose goal is to serve the needs of the public and promote the value of the design community.

I hope you will check us out, our website is a work in progress. Very soon we will have a database of all members on the website and it will become the workhorse of the organization.

I look forward to seeing you at High Point Market.

Exactly!

There is no threat to HSW by un-licensed or un-certified Interior Designers.

The fact that the proponents have to make so many compromises, and claim to exempt residential designers is proof as to how bogus this legislation is.

ASID has never seen a piece of legislation they didn't like.

And if this bill were to pass, they would slap a color on the State of Washington on their State Map and put out a press release as to how one more state has passed Interior Design Legislation.

Enough with legislation that is nothing more than a "feel good" merit badge for Interior Designers with low self-esteem.
