From Jeff Kropf, Executive Director of the Oregon Capitol Watch Foundation.


Due to a miscommunication the 5 line signature sheets for the gross receipts tax repeal are NOT!!! cleared by the Secretary of State for circulation, though they will be shortly. Please hang on to them as we expect they will be approved in about 24 hours but don't have anyone sign them just yet. We have also been told that the 5 line sheets must have the cover sheet printed on the back side as they will not accept them stapled together. We can send you new 5 line sheets with the cover sheet printed on the back if you will email Jeff Kropf at jkropf@wvi.com, say how many you want and your address to send them.

Additionally, the 10 line sheets are approved by the SOS and are available also if you would like to request one or more of those.

Please download and print the actual text of the parts of HB3427 that we are repealing, and remember to keep it with the petitions as you circulate them.

Be certain that you personally witness people signing your petitions.

After each sheet is complete, be sure to fill out and sign the Circulator Certification section at the bottom.

Finally, please download and print this letter from attorney Dan Meek detailing your rights to gather signatures in public places and citing Oregon Supreme Court rulings establishing that right. We advise you to print a copy of this letter if you intend to be circulating petitions in public places in the rare instance that government officials or opponents of our effort try to stop you from circulating.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you and thanks for caring enough to fight for our right to vote on this damaging tax.
