Oregon FreedomWorks Issue PAC Launches Two Ballot Measure Campaign Web Sites

There are two new resources available for Oregonians preparing to make a decision on key ballot measures this November, both built by Oregon FreedomWorks Issue PAC.

The new web site http://www.FamilyTaxCut.com makes the case for voting Yes on Measure 41. If Measure 41 passes, Oregon families will be allowed to make the same personal deduction on their state taxes that they get on their federal taxes. Oregon families pay more than they should in taxes. With the increase in gas costs, home and rent prices, and overall living expenses, our Oregon families need and deserve to keep more of their own money.

A second site launched this week is http://www.OurOregonCourts.com, which is in support of passage of Measure 40, the Judicial Redistricting ballot measure. Measure 40 is needed to make the Oregon Supreme Court reflect the values of that state as a whole. The majority of Oregon Supreme Court Justices and Appeals Court Judges are from the Portland-Eugene area. These activist judges have been legislating from the bench – nullifying the will of the voters on matters like property rights, crime-victims rights, term limits. Measure 40 would require that judges be elected by geographic districts. This commonsense measure would ensure the election of judges from every part of the state, representing all Oregonians, rather than just the Willamette Valley.

Oregon FreedomWorks Issue PAC Director Russ Walker commented, “The opposition to Measures 40 and 41 are spending enormous sums of money. Our side– the forces of limited and responsible government– never has enough resources, so we rely on low-cost Internet technology to make our case directly to the citizens of Oregon. I encourage all voters to visit both web sites for information and to register as campaign volunteers to help us pass Measures 40 and 41.”
