We worked to amend the Oregon Constitution in 2020 to eliminate the contention that, unlike the constitutions of every other state, it somehow prohibits the enforcement of limits on political campaign contributions.  The free speech clause in the Oregon Constitution is the same as in 36 other states; all of those states have limits on political contributions.  This measure is aimed at the November 2020 ballot, because of steps taken by anti-reform activists to delay our opportunity to collect signatures for 2018 by repeatedly challenging in court the ballot title prepared by the Attorney General (and the revised ballot title prepared by the Attorney General).  Can you guess the political party most closely affiliated with those anti-reform agents?

Honest elections launches statewide effort

Picture
Oregon Progressive Party and Alliance for Democracy have launched a state-wide effort for a November 2020 ballot measure which would amend the Oregon Constitution to allow limits on campaign contributions and expenditures.  The amendment would read:
Laws consistent with the freedom of speech guarantee of the United States Constitution may regulate contributions and expenditures, of any type or description, to influence the outcome of any election; provided, that such laws are adopted or amended by an elected legislative body by a three-fourths vote of each chamber or by initiative.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!  If you can gather 10 or 100 signatures, please contact David e Delk for the signature sheets and any other information you will need. In your email subject line include:  2020 signatures
