Measure 59

their opinions about politics. Even
the candidates would not be able to
express themselves politically, she
said.
“We feel this is very unfair,”
Esty said.
The AARP has a lot of retired
government officials in the orga
nization, she said.
Esty said it is important to speak
with students about this issue be
cause there are many times that
students and seniors see eye to
eye.
“I think it’s important for stu
dents to realize that we can get to
gether on the issues that are of
common concern,” she said.
The AARP is against the mea
sure because it feels that the mea
sure limits freedom of speech and
freedom of expression, Esty said.
“Measure 59 is a constitutional
amendment,” she said, adding it
can’t be changed easily like a law.
People in favor of the measure
feel it will have a huge impact on
the people of Oregon if it passes.
"We put the measure on the bal
lot because we don’t think it's
right,” said Becky Miller, execu
tive assistant of Oregon Taxpayers
United.
The government should be neu
tral in the election process, she said.
If Measure 59 passes, instead of
having money taken from pay
checks, people can still voluntarily
give as much money as they want
to political campaigns, Miller said.
"Measure 59 does not stop pub
lic employees from participating
in politics,” she said.
Miller also said there will be no
change to the voter’s pamphlet.
Under Measure 59, people who
want to put an argument in the
voter’s pamphlet would have to go
straight to the printer, instead of
giving their money to the govern
ment first.
