The Color of Money in Oregon Politics
B ig m oney in p o litics turns
people off. New data documents
that a d isp ro p o rtio n ately sm all
am ount o f money into federal elec
tions com es from neighborhoods
w ith high percentages o f people o f
color. M uch more m oney comes
from O regon’s w ealthier, predom i
nately w hite neighborhoods. This
is significant because those who
give the most m oney to election
cam paigns are those who have the
m ost influence over our politicians
and our policies.
These disparities in campaign
contributions are summarized in the
attached chart below. The locations
o f the top five contributing zip code
areas are sum m arized below and
contrasted with the two zip codes
with high percentages o f people o f
color in D istrict 18.

on this report began with a rally a
voter registration drive in D istrict
18 as coordinated with The All
People County Party, CAUSA ’98,
and O regon Action.
Youth and com m unity leaders
gathered and spoke out about unity
and cooperation in our community.
Harvey Daniel o f Oregon Action
focused on the problem saying, “Big
money in politics violates the basic
principle o f one person, one vote.
It also turns people o ff from the
system and is a factor in low voting
participation. Voter registration and
voting is vital. In addition, we are
beginning to expose the problem o f
money in politics to set the stage
for cam paign finance reform that
truly levels the playing field for all
candidates, not just those who can
raise lots o f m oney.” Harvey also
quoted Dr. G w endolyn Patton, an
A frican-A m erican civil rights ac
tivist from Alabama. “ Money has
discounted our vote and corrupted
public service. It’s made a m ock
ery o f the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
We must fight that...(W )e can ’t let
private money trample on the graves
o f those who died to m ake the vote
the great equalizer...C itizens have
yet to own the governm ent...The
standard should be ‘one person,
one vote’ not ‘you must pay to

Tow els w ith the contribution
data sum m arized above were dis
played in a lively skit that then
featured the cam paign finance sys
tem being cleaned in a campaign
finance reform w ashing machine.
After their cleaning, the towels said,

Arturo Anguiano ofC A U SA ’98
urged everyone to, “Get registered
to vote! CAUSA ’98 is w orking on
the most am bitious voter registra
tion initiative in the history o f
Latinos in Oregon. Y our participa
tion will help make a tremendous
im pact on the lives o f Latinos."

A los niños de cualquier edad les
interesa el fuego. Ambos, niños y
niñas juegan con fuego, pero los
más peligrosos son los niños varones
de entre tres y cinco años de edad.
’ Eduque a sus hijos acerca del
fuego. Cuando ellos tengan entre
cuatro y cinco años de edad, se les
puede enseñar que los fósforos son
instrumentos. Los fósforos tienen
un propósito de ser: sirven para
encender las velas, para encender el
fuego en el campamento o para
encender el fuego en la chimenea.
Sólo p e rm ita que los n iños
enciendan fósforos en presencia de
un adulto.
♦ M antenga los fó sfo ro s y
encendedores fuera del alcance de
los niños.
♦ Enséñeles a los niños qué hacer
en caso de incendios: mantenerse
agachados para evitar la inhalación
de humo. Practique un plan de es
cape de emergencia.
♦ Asegúrese que el detector de
humo en su casa funciona.
Los niños pequeños no saben como
escaparse de un incendio. Ellos tratan
de esconderse de las llamas o tratan
de irse a los pisos más altos en vez de
salirse de la casa. Nunca deje solos a
los niños pequeños, nin siquiera
cuando vaya por unos minutos a la
casa del vecino.
No se arriesgue y pierda. Ud. nunca
se lo perdonará si su niño provoca un
incendio cuando Ud. no esté en casa.
