To pile on, I agree as well. Unless the topic is specifically related to open source and/or Linux, like an initiative that would force WA state to consider using OSS and/or Linux, I would like to see LFNW stay as far away from politics as possible.
That all being said, BTC is a public institution, and BTC runs the actual LFNW event, so the point may be moot. It may not be legal to prevent someone from gathering signatures in a public place like BTC, but IANAL... ..Ch:W..
