cost you a lot, but it will cost
our community even more.

we urge you to join us in voting No on Ballot Measures 26-51 and 26-52! Your No vote in November will prevent a risky

leadership in supporting our community.

• One of the first companies to publicly
oppose B a llot Measure 9 in 1995.
• A strong supporter in the fig h t against
ballot measures that attack gays and
lesbians.
• One of the first companies in Oregon to
