The Freedom Socialists argued that protecting the two-party system was the underlying reason he decided to fight this case. In court, though, the state maintained that the law prevented “voter confusion." T he appeals court dis agreed. A three-judge panel concluded that withholding crucial information from vot ers, such as a party name, might compound confusion, not prevent it. Judge Robert Wolheim cited the association and voting rights guarantees of the U .S. C onstitution. “T h e burden placed on those First Am endm ent rights is severe because vot ers are deprived of an important voting cue when candidates are unable to run for office using their Norm Costa party affiliation,” he wrote. Sardo hopes to represent District 45, which is roughly bordered by Northeast 22nd and 122nd avenues between North Lombard Street and Interstate 84. But because the court ruling came so late in the election year, she doubts a campaign could be launched by the Aug. 27 deadline and predicts she’ll have to wait until 2004. In the meantime, the Freedom Socialists plan to work on a number of hot-button issues: fighting ballot measures proposed by the Oregon Citizens Alliance and Bill Sizemore; defending the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Sys tem; and opposing education budget cuts. The party also wants to address taxation disparities, which could provide the solution to the state’s weak economy. “The disparity between what big corpora tions get taxed and what working-class people get taxed and the small businesses get taxed— it’s like the Grand Canyon," Sardo told Just Out. “So we think that that is an answer to alle viating a lot of the economic struggles that we’re facing right now. And it’s something that, unfor tunately, we don’t have legislators in the House or Senate right now who are really interested in rocking that boat— and it’s a boat that needs to be rocked. Working people don’t have any more money to give.” Gk P ride P rotester P rosecuted A Pride Northwest board member is help ing authorities gather evidence to sup port crim inal trespass charges filed against an anti-gay protester who disrupted Portland Pride 2002 last month.
