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


5 line signature sheets for the gross receipts tax repeal are now cleared for use by the Secretary of State for circulation. But the only the 5 line sheets with the petition text printed on the back side will be accepted by the Secretary of State, and the ones you picked up at Executive Club were not printed on the back, so don't use them. We can send you new 5 line sheets with the petition text 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 of each signature page.

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.
