When I was doing research for my Master's thesis, I ran across the only book that had anything significant to say about Ballot Measure 9. Nothing else came remotely close. I started going through it, seeing all the information and quotes. I was excited. But something was off...

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.
