Prior Governmental Experience: Second Lieutenant andCaptain, U.S. Army

Our state government is a mess because career politiciansbicker and corporate lobbyists have too much power.

Both Democrats and Republicans have failed our state.

Why vote for the same politicians and parties who, year afteryear, fail to solve our problems?

It’s time for a change.

I’m running for governor to represent working families. AllOregonians deserve good schools, health care and economicopportunities.

Oregon can afford the best schools and health careBig companies must pay their fair share. I will raise the taxes forthe largest and most profitable companies that do business inOregon.

Health security for allEvery Oregonian should have access to quality health care.Health care is a right not a privilege for the rich.

Peace nowI will bring Oregon’s National Guard troops home from Iraq andthe Middle East. Our brave men and women should not fightdistant wars for oil and greed. They should work in Oregon,making our state stronger.

Building an energy independent OregonAs governor, I will make conservation our state’s first priority. I will establish a network of public rural energy cooperatives.The network will supply the energy needs of communities withbiodiesel, biomass, solar, geothermal and wind power.

Preserve Oregon’s natural resourcesI will protect our wonderful parks, forests, oceans, rivers andwildlife from timber, mining and grazing industries. I will stopcompanies from using our streams, rivers and ocean as adumping grounds for their toxic waste.

I have been a leader all my life, beginning with my service in themilitary. I have fought hard for our country, and to keepOregon’s public lands beautiful.

I ask for your vote so that together we can make Oregon shineagain.

Representing Working Oregonians

Who you are as Governor is really about who you represent.

I’ve said many times that the people most responsible for help-ing me become who I am today were the nuns who raised me,the Marine Corps Instructors who taught me discipline, and thetaxpayers who gave me the opportunity of college through theGI Bill.

When I went into public service, I wanted to represent peoplelike them – working families… retirees… ordinary people likeyou and me. That’s why I’m committed to:

Improving Education. We’ve restored millions of dollars toour classrooms, and my education plan will increase and stabi-lize school funding so we can reduce class size, never again cutschool days and invest in job training and higher education.

Lowering Healthcare Costs. I’ve taken on drug companiesso Oregonians can have lower-cost prescription drugs. I have a plan to provide healthcare for Oregon’s 117,000 uninsuredchildren and reduce healthcare costs for working families.

Keeping Communities Safe. Since taking office, we’veenacted America’s toughest meth laws and cut the number oflabs by 70 percent. I am committed to continuing this fight andrestoring 24/7 State Police patrols throughout rural Oregon.

Creating Good Jobs. Today more Oregonians have jobs thanever before, we’ve gone from having the highest unemploy-ment rate to the fifth fastest growing economy. We achievedthese successes because we made it attractive to do business inOregon by cutting 250,000 pages out of regulatory permitting,expanding online services, and investing in infrastructure,research and technology.

I’m proud of the progress we’ve made over the last four years,but the best is yet to come. Please join teachers, firefighters,nurses, and thousands of Oregonians in supporting me againfor Governor.

MORLEY FOR GOVERNOR: THE SENSIBLE CENTERWant to know more?

http://www.morley06.com

• FUND EDUCATION AND PUBLIC SAFETY FIRST

In Oregon’s budget process, kids should not be at theend of the line. Time after time, the legislature passesagency budgets first. By the time education budgetsare discussed, most of the money has been spent, creating a crisis. I will veto any budget bill thatreaches my desk before the education and publicsafety budgets do.

• SWAP INCOME TAX FOR SALES TAX

Let’s eliminate Oregon’s income tax in exchange for a revenue-neutral sales tax. Certain living essentialswould be exempt. This would be a constitutionalchange, so the legislature could not reintroduce anincome tax without a vote of the people. The tax ratewould be lower because tourists and those in the underground economy would join the tax base.

• PROTECT CIVIL LIBERTIES

Terrorists win if the price for security is our civil liber-ties. I support making privacy an explicitly protectedright in Oregon’s constitution. I will keep our nationalguard out of foreign conflicts. I support a woman’schoice regarding abortion. I support Oregon’s Deathwith Dignity and medicinal marijuana laws. Oregonshould get out of the “marriage business” entirely,return control of the marriage sacrament to churches,and offer civil unions to all couples regardless of gender mix.

Ron SaxtonImproving Schools

The Challenge: Measured by class size, dropout rates and student achievement, Oregon’s schools are struggling. Moremoney alone won’t fix the problem.The Solution: A Governor who will make big changes.

Responsible Fiscal LeadershipThe Challenge: Too often Oregonians are choosing betweenhigher taxes or reduced services.The Solution: A Governor who delivers smarter management.

• Ron will establish clear priorities for state government,eliminate non-essential functions, hold agencies account-able for performance, and engage the private sector todeliver services more effectively and efficiently whereappropriate.

• Ron will hold the line on taxes. He opposes a sales tax, willreturn your Kicker refund, and will cut the cost of Oregon’sgovernment bureaucracy 10% within four years.

Growing Oregon’s EconomyThe Challenge: Improving wages and creating better jobs.The Solution: A Governor with a pro-jobs, pro-business attitude.

• Ron will reform Oregon’s harsh regulatory climate, reducethe capital gains and estate taxes, and ensure Oregon’suniversities and community colleges are magnets for business investment.

Leading for Oregonians• Rebuilding Oregon’s State Police and cracking down on

drug dealers and property crimes.• Reducing healthcare costs.• Stopping Oregon from issuing driver’s licenses to illegal

immigrants.• Protecting private property rights.• Promoting renewable energy.• Supporting Oregon’s natural resource industries.

The 2 “BIG BOX” political parties have been compromisingon issues for so long, it’s nearly impossible to tell one from the other.

Face it.

Virtually every aspect of our lives is coming under more andmore government control.As governor I will fight to END:

Illegal immigration. Oregonians are being crushed under the weight of educating, incarcerating, and medicating thethousands in our state unlawfully.

Oregon taxpayer funded abortions. The Oregon HealthPlan uses your money (over $1.5 million per year!) to kill 4,500pre-born Oregonians. I won’t sign a budget that pays for endingthe lives of innocents.

The illegal deployment of the Oregon National Guardto foreign countries to fight unconstitutional wars. U.S. andOregon Constitutions agree – our troops were sent to Iraq andAfghanistan illegally. I will demand their return.

Attacks on private property rights

State control of a bloated, ineffective education system.Decentralize the schools, give control back to local schoolboards and parents, allow education dollars to follow stu-dents. Support home schooling parents.

Out of control child protective service agencies

Forced drugging of children

Corporate data-mining of Oregonians’ personal/ financial information.

Requiring taxpayers to prop up a failed PERS system.Replace with a 401k type program. Privatize administration.

All legislation aimed at eroding the 2nd Amendment.Gun owners’ rights must not be compromised!

Spending nearly DOUBLED in 10 years, limit to changes in inflation/ population

Demand elected official’s respect. Remember, they work foryou!

Author: “The Whole Tooth and Nothing But the Tooth”

Pro Business

Oregon is moving in the wrong direction. This great state, oncea shining example of American independence, has become par-alyzed by government bureaucracy. We need to welcome newbusiness and show respect for individual property rights. Byattracting good, family-wage jobs, we can increase state funding for education and public safety.

Let’s increase the tax base, not increase taxes.

Anti-Crime

Methamphetamine use is out of control in Oregon. 80% ofproperty and personal crime in the state is related to the methepidemic. I won’t be satisfied until Oregon is the safest state inthe country to raise a family.

Let’s lock up criminals, not cold medicine.

Pro Education

Education is the gift that we give our children and representsthe future of our country. I will advocate reform that producesstudents who can better compete in our global economy. Weneed to recognize teachers as professionals and accord themthe respect and resources necessary to teach our children.

We need to set aside politics, put children first andmake Oregon a true leader in education.

I live with my wife of 35 years, Marion. We have three children,and two adorable grandkids.

I love Oregon’s great outdoors, especially when rowing a driftboat or fly-fishing.

Putting Education FirstOur schools need stable, secure funding. That’s why I refusedto vote for any plan that contained cuts to schools. As Principalof Marshfield High, I worked with limited funding and still cameup with ways to craft a quality education. Today, educators arerunning out of options. We must finally make education top inour budget process and fund schools first.

Protecting Our ChildrenI helped lead the fight to pass Jessica’s Law, which makestougher sentences for sex crimes against children. I also votedto make it a crime for sex offenders to be in the same place aschildren.

Making Health Care AffordableToo many working families don’t have access to affordablehealth care. I fought to require health insurers to hold publichearings before they can raise our rates and to expandOregon’s prescription drug pool to include thousands more citizens.

ImmigrationI will work to force the federal government to do its job andsecure our nation’s borders. Illegal immigrants come here toget jobs so we must crack down on corporations that knowinglyhire undocumented workers so they can pay lower wages.

Jobs that Support FamiliesThe South Coast needs more family wage jobs and strong busi-nesses. I’ve been working hard to protect our local businessesand to ensure that Oregon jobs stay in Oregon.

THE CONSTITUTION PARTY

We are the party that is calling America back to the sure foundation of

Life, Liberty, Limited Government.

What our candidates stand for:

Restore the United States to “One Nation Under God”

Return to Constitutional, Limited Government

Ending Abortion in America

Defend Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Restore National Sovereignty IncludingWithdrawal from the U.N.

Cut the Federal Government Down toConstitutional Size

Find Our Lost Borders and Defend Them

Protect Private PropertyIn Absolute Terms

Restore Constitutional Sound MoneyBacked By Gold

End Corporate WelfareAnd the Export of American Jobs

Require Congressional Declaration of WarBefore Engaging Our Military

Congressional Limitations on JurisdictionOf Federal Courts

We are often asked, “Why not reform the two big parties?” It may be hard to admit but an honest appraisal shows that both partiesare corrupt, addicted to ‘big money’, with no intention of ever returning to limited Constitutional government that puts the peo-ple’s freedom first. What do you think will be the result of letting our government continue to make up its own rules? The horror oflegalized baby killing is one result. Can you think of other social and economic degradations that runaway government hasbrought us?

DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE!!!

DON’T WASTE YOUR VOTE!!!

Send a real message this year. Vote for what you want instead of some compromised down version of our Americanideals. This citizenship business is not a game. It is a stewardship for which we will be held accountable by ourCreator and our children’s children.

If you are tired of seeing America on a down-hill slide morally and economically, If you question the long term consequences of aworldwide American empire, If you are weary of a government that tries to be god while it mocks the true God, Then consider OurConstitution Party candidates. They are pledged to the platform listed above.

In office they are each committed to:

-vote no on budgets that include taxpayer $$$ for abortion-institute spending limits and individual efficiency audits for state programs

-return authority to local school boards and parents-returning illegal aliens to the country they came from

-end the practice of exporting American jobs

Constitution Party Statement


The Democratic Party: Leadership For Oregon, A New Direction For America

Elections are about accountability.

This November the choice for our country couldn’t be more clear or important.

We can unite behind Democrats to restore America’s strength and prosperity. Or we can stay the course and allow George W.Bush’s dangerous agenda to go unchecked for two more years.

No one is well served when the truth and good ideas become regular victims of blind partisanship and deception. Yet, that’sexactly what’s happening in Washington and during 16 years of Republican control of the Oregon House.

The time has come to take a stand.

The policies of George W. Bush and rubber stamp Republicans across the country like Ron Saxton and Oregon Speaker KarenMinnis are destroying our great democracy. Drunk with power, Republicans have governed with an arrogance that is outdone onlyby their catastrophic failures.

The costly occupation in Iraq, the shameless neglect of Katrina victims and Oregon kids being forced into increasingly crowdedclassrooms are not random accidents. Worse, they’re the direct result of a deeply flawed and morally bankrupt right wing ideologythat has hijacked today’s Republican Party. Don’t let them get away with it any longer.

You have the power to restore progress and common sense priorities by voting Democratic this November.

It’s time to come together.

Democrats know that, as Oregonians, our shared values are far greater than our differences. There is no challenge facing our stateor nation that is too great to overcome when we work together.

Democratic values are Oregon values. We cherish our natural environment that makes living in Oregon special and we share a commitment to quality schools, safe communities, and good paying jobs.

Together, we can launch a new era of leadership that rekindles Oregon’s spirit of innovation and restores America’s reputation inthe world.

The Democratic Vision

Strong Schools For Our Children

Every child deserves a full opportunity for success that is not threatened by overcrowded classrooms, shortened school years oradministrative waste.

Real Security

Defeating terrorism starts with telling the truth to our citizens, troops and allies. Oregon Democrats in Congress opposed Bush’swar in Iraq from the outset and will continue to demand accountability until our brave troops are home.

Energy Independence

We will invest to make Oregon a leader in renewable energy and we will create a cleaner, stronger America by reducing ourdependence on Middle East oil.

Economic Prosperity

Democrats will restore fairness by making big corporations pay their fair share and rebuild our middle class economically. We willcreate good Oregon jobs by promoting small businesses, sustainable industries and continuing to improve our transportationinfrastructure.

A Health Care System That Works For Everyone

We will catch up to 36 other industrialized nations by making sure that everyone has access to high quality, affordable health care.No family should have to worry if a child’s trip to the doctor will push them to the brink of bankruptcy, and no Oregonian shouldever have to choose between buying medicine and paying rent.

Retirement Security

We will ensure that a retirement with dignity is the right of every American. We will block Republican schemes to dismantle SocialSecurity and Medicare, and we will promote laws to protect pensions and encourage financial independence.

2006 Ballot Initiative Positions

You have important decisions to make about initiatives appearing on this year’s ballot. Many times, these sound simple, but havetremendous consequences.

We hope you will consider your vote carefully on each of these initiatives. The Democratic Party of Oregon has taken the followingpositions:

Democratic Party Statement


TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW. VOTE LIBERTARIAN.www.lporegon.org

We are Oregon’s third largest political party, with about 16,000 members. At the local level, Libertarians win about two-thirds of the races they enter. Libertarians serve in public office throughout Oregon as members of your school boards, waterboards, city councils, planning commissions and similar bodies. Libertarians in government consistently vote to maximizeyour freedoms, protect your rights, and minimize the intrusion of government into your lives.

Are you tired of voting for the lesser of two evils? Then stop doing it. Republicans and Democrats have convinced millions ofaverage citizens that they are are powerless to take control over their communities. That’s why many people don’t vote. Don’t Buythe Lie. You and your neighbors have real political power. If you want a different world, start voting differently.

This year, don’t waste your vote on Republican and Democratic candidates. Their ideas and politics got us into our cur-rent mess and can’t get us out. If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always had.

We offer this guide to voters concerning this year’s ballot measures:

MEASURE 48: YESSustainability is good for the economy just as it is for the environment. In the long run, it is impossible to sustain spending growththat exceeds population and inflation. Without Measure 48 there will be no “Rainy Day Fund” and people will become dependenton government services, only to lose them during lean times. In the long run, a YES vote is the compassionate choice.

MEASURE 45: YESAre you satisfied with the leadership our “experienced” legislators are providing? Service in a citizen legislature was never meantto become a career, and incumbents have written laws making it difficult for challengers to mount strong challenges. Term limitswill return the legislature to the citizens and wrest control from the lobbyists.

MEASURE 39: YESGovernment should never be allowed to seize your home in order to give it to a developer who promises to generate more tax revenue. This is legalized theft.

MEASURE 46: YESThe current system of regulating elections and election finances is designed to protect incumbents. The laws are so complicatedthat it is difficult and financially perilous for political challengers and citizen groups to seriously challenge an incumbent. This measure will make it hard for them to make the problem worse.

MEASURE 41: YESYour taxes will go down, and your taxes will be computed more fairly.

MEASURE 42: NOIf insurance companies can establish a link between risk and any legal criteria, they have the right to price their products accordingly. Stacking the deck against insurance companies will only drive them away, leaving people with fewer companies who will have more control over the market - that’s a REAL formula for high prices!

MEASURE 44: NOPeople complain about pharmaceutical companies, but they sure like their medications. By opening the Prescription DrugProgram to all, we effectively place a tax on pharmaceutical companies. Such companies may seem little more to us than facelesscorporate targets for populist rage, but they are the ones who invent the drugs we need. It makes little sense to erode financialincentives to create new and more effective medications.

MEASURE 47: NOReporting requirements on political campaigns are supposed to provide legal transparency. Instead, they create fear. Too often,individuals and groups with something to lose are afraid to contribute to political challengers for fear of antagonizing incumbents.What kind of democracy is that? Such regulations have a chilling effect on the democratic process. Restricting the ability of candidates to project their messages isn’t the answer either. Big money doesn’t always win, and voters have the ability to think for themselves. It is ironic that some who claim to treasure democracy place so little trust in the voters.

Libertarian Party Statement


Live Green? Vote Green.

Our world is in peril from war, greed, corruption, pollution and fear. We must do better.

While Democrats and Republicans bicker, and our planet grows sicker, Greens are creating change in communities across the country. We are growing. There are 11 Green elected officials here in Oregon and more than 200 nationwide.

Green change is possible with your vote. Don’t let the other parties fool you into believing that you don’t have better choices. Wecan have a country where our children can grow up healthy and strong. They will learn in schools that are rich in resources andopportunity.

We can have honorable elected officials. Don’t settle for less. Vote for people who reflect your values.

Peace now

Join us to help bring peace to our war-torn world.

If we elect leaders who have peace in their hearts, then we can peacefully resolve conflicts at home and abroad. Greens opposewars waged for oil and profits. Our position is clear: stop the wars and bloodshed in Iraq and elsewhere. Never torture prisoners oranyone else. Bring our troops home now.

Shame on Democrats and Republicans for so recklessly sending our children to war.

Protect our planet

Global warming is a disaster we must stop now. Renewable energy, clean air and water are our priorities. We must safeguard ournatural heritage and beautiful landscapes from the timber, mining and ranching industries.

Why do Democrats and Republicans do so little to protect the environment? They are corrupt. In exchange for big campaign contri-butions, they do the bidding of big business. Greens believe that conservation and preservation of nature are more important thancorporate profits.

Build our economy by helping working families

Our first economic priority is to raise the minimum wage to $9 for all workers. By guaranteeing a living wage to workers, we willbring them hope. We will make sure that working families can meet basic needs like food and housing. Our second priority is toexpand workers’ rights to organize, bargain and strike.

Democrats and Republicans rarely put the needs of working families first. They are too dependent on corporate contributions.Greens are not for sale. We won’t sell out because we are from working families like yours.

Health care for all

Every Oregonian should have access to quality health care. Health care is a right, not a privilege for the rich.

We will stop pharmaceutical companies from ripping us off. We will end the mess that insurance companies and HMOs createwhen we need medical care. We will not compromise our principles like most politicians.

Make big corporations pay their fair share

Greens have the courage to look big business in the eye and demand they pay their fair share of taxes. Why? Unlike the other par-ties, we don’t take corporate contributions and perks.

It’s time to end corporate welfare for the largest businesses. They ought to pay more so that we can have better schools, healthcare and environmental protection.

And it’s time to get big money out of politics. The Pacific Green Party is pledged to endorse and work for Campaign FinanceReform Measures 46 and 47.

Excellent education

Our children deserve the best schools in the country.

Those of us who love children know that there is no time to waste. Schools must be restructured so that our children receive theattention and care they deserve. We need to focus less on test scores and more on true learning and understanding. We must giveteachers the right equipment and resources to do their jobs well.

Let’s face it: money won’t solve our education crisis, but it will help us make sure that our school buildings are safe, children havethe books and supplies they need to learn, and our school employees are paid what they deserve.

Join us. Vote Green.www.pacificgreens.org
