Cottage Grove 57%
VOTED YES
"I did not support Ballot Meas­
ure 9 in 1992 but I do support
this year’s Ballot Measure 13.
Why? Because my five year old
son, a student in Cottage
Grove’s Project Headstart,
brought home a list of class­
room books that included
Heather Has Two Mommies and
Daddy’s Roommate. I now un­
derstand the absolute necessity
of Ballot Measure 13."
David Owen, Liberal Democrat
Douglas County 73%

Oregon City 53%

on the same basis I oppose spe­
cial rights for anyone. People
came to this country looking for
freedom, not special rights."
"My son recendy died from
AIDS. I voted for the Ballot
Measure in Oakridge and I will
vote for Measure 13. America’s
society cannot survive the bur­
den of affirming and embracing
the homosexual lifestyle. My
son is dead because of this life­
style. Don’t let more of Amer­
ica’s sons die by endorsing
homosexual behavior. Vote yes
on 13."

" I cannot stand by and watch as
the homosexuals demand the
right to marry, to adopt children,
to be foster parents, and to de­
mand that our children be taught
that homosexual behavior is
now acceptable. I supported
Creswell’s initiative. I will
work, give financially, and vote
YES for Ballot Measure 13."

close family who are holocaust
victims and survivors. I have
visited Auschwitz and the Anne
Frank house where I delivered a
presentation. I am also a for­

Don’t allow the homosexual ac­
tivists to exploit Jewish suffer­
ing for political gain Join me in

much influence a teacher has in

classroom."

Oregon tax law allows each taxpayer to give up to $50 per individ­
ual or $100 per married couple to the political action committee of
their choice You simply send a check to Stop Special Rights PAC
and then subtract the total amount from your income tax debt on
your 1994 Oregon tax form If you have overpaid through with­
holding ,your refund will be increased by the amount of your dona­
tion This is money you cannot keep or give to charity If you
don’t give it to a PAC like SSR-PAC, you will simply pay it in
taxes It costs you nothing to use your tax credit, but not using it
could cost SSR-PAC the election

"I’m afraid of what will happen
to our economy if Oregon be­
comes known as a state that pre­
fers homosexual values over
family values. Families mean
stable communities. We don’t
want to drive them away by
threatening the future of their
children by allowing homosexu­
ality to be taught in the schools."
