Oregon Legislature Poised To Hijack Ballot Title Process with HB 4054 Bill Undermines Citizen Participation and Confuses Voters

On Tuesday, the House Rules Committee passed a bill, HB 4054, that seeks to rewrite the ballot title and related language for Referendum 301. This measure will appear on the November 2014 ballot and asks voters to approve or disapprove SB 833, which was passed by the Oregon Legislature last spring and grants driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Recently, the state attorney general certified the ballot title and related language to clearly state that SB 833 grants driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Proponents in the Legislature of driver’s licenses for illegal aliens now want to change the ballot title and related language to hide this fact to confuse voters and undermine citizen participation in the upcoming election. Please call your representative and senator now and tell them you won't stand for this underhanded and unprincipled political stunt. Tell them to oppose HB 4054! The Legislature has never before done this with respect to a bill referred by the people! On Tuesday, The Oregonian editorial board, who is no friend to those who oppose SB 833, has even called this move a "disguised marketing effort" that seeks to bury the truth.  Please call your representative and senator now and tell them to oppose HB 4054. Sincerely,
