2. Deceptive Woman's Voter Guide in Oregon

Oct 2012

I sat down this morning to vote with our mail in ballot. I assembled the Voter Guide from the State, the Oregonian endorsements and my notes from a meeting two weeks ago by the League of Women Voters at a Forum I sponsored.

I also saved a copy of the Woman's Voter Guide which came in the mail that I didn't read but put it in the stack of our other bits of information. My initial reaction was that it was from the League of Women's Voters group.

When I read the bios of the five women that are on their panel and scanned through their recommendations, I simply tore it up.

It is a slick piece of propaganda by the Republican party. Didn't fool me or my wife and I hope it doesn't fool too many others.

The fist recommendation on the bottom of the front page was for Knute Buehler (R) who has been besieging the radio with ads against Kate Brown. So it's pretty obvious who is sponsoring this colorful, shiny, large mailer.

We voted a straight Democrat ticket as we always have.

Thanks for pointing this out. And I agree wholeheartedly.....WTF, do they think we're stupid!
