On March 24, a U.S. District Court in Eugene, Oregon, upheld Oregon laws that require initiative circulators who are being paid to complete a class about petitioning rules. The decision also upholds a ban on anyone working as a paid circulator who has ever been convicted of fraud, forgery or identity theft. Finally, the decision upholds a law requiring an organization that pays circulators to produce payroll records. The case is Walker v State of Oregon and Kate Brown, 08-06135. Here is the 29-page decision.
Any King George III laws in 1776 regarding petitions ???
— especially regarding any petition in favor of the DOI — 4 July 1776 ???
Does the EVIL MORON regime actually want a R word ???
P.R. and nonpartisan A.V. — which also involves ELECTING nonpartisan U.S.A. District Court judges — instead of appointed party hacks by party hack U.S.A. Prezs and confirmed by party hack U.S.A. Senators.
Payroll records? Can’t they be independent contractors?
This is retarded. Petitioning rules are self explanatory. People don’t need a class for this. This does nothing to prevent fraud. People who sign petitions should take the responsibility to READ the freakin’ petitions, because if they do this it eliminates the possibility of any trickery. Checking the signatures after they’ve been turned in catches any cases of forgery. So there is no need for this idiotic legislation. Also, it should be pointed out that the majority of petition drives are done on the up-and-up. Instances of fraud are rare. There is far more fraud that goes on in the halls of the legislature than occurs during petition drives.
The EVIL party hacks in the various gerrymander regimes are trying to make everybody a ROBOT for the regimes to control 24/7 — just in case any folks on this list have been on Mars for the last 200 plus years.
