On April 13, the Action Committee of the Oregon League of Women Voters withdrew its support for HB 2614. HB 2614 makes it illegal for voters who are registered party members to sign a petition for independent candidates. 75% of Oregon’s registered voters are members of a party, so this bill would make it virtually impossible for an independent to qualify in Oregon. Already, Oregon’s independent petition is more difficult than the independent candidate petition of the average state.

Uh, wrong, go to: http://www.lwvor.org/LR8Matrix.htm as of April 6, LWV still supported it. You could at least get your facts right. I think you should retract at least that part of the story.
I mean May 6, above, my apologies.
I’m waiting…
Why won’t you retract a false story, at least retract the part that indicates LWVOR pulled its support.
PASSES 45-11!
Is that illegal in the sense that their signatures wouldn’t count, or in the sense that it’s a crime?
If the 2d, that raises constitutional concerns.
It is possible that the LWV opposed the bill after they published the press release.
Please keep in mind that Richard is only one man, and he does not get the level of support that HE SHOULD be getting from certain segments of American society.
