also ruled the 1905 law limiting ballot access to
be unconstitutional; however, Secretary of State
Bill Bradbury appealed that decision.
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.”

If your Mac freezes, escalate your escape in small, gentle steps:
1. “Command Period” (8€+.) will solve some freezes
2. A “force quit” (8S+Option+Escape) may be needed for others
3. A “soft boot” uses 88+Power+Control (or Shift for some Macs)
4. Press your Mac’s physical “acupuncture point” reset button
5. Unplug the machine and wait 60 seconds
