| | Measure 9 does not recriminalize sodomy or seek to place any further legal restrictions on other private sexual practice--what it does is mandate that in public, everyone must be straight. | | | Colorado's Amendment 2, which prohibits civil rights protections for lesbians and gay men and passed in 1992, is going before the U.S. Supreme Court in the next session. | | | Instead, it constructs Measure 9 as the intrusion, the breach of the body of the state. |

| | On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union, Inc., Social Workers PAC (SW PAC), Oregon Faculties PAC (OF PAC) and Right to Privacy PAC (RTP), the ACLU Foundation of Oregon is petitioning the Oregon Supreme Court for permission to file a friend of the court brief in a challenge to Measure 9. | | | Whether or not you agree that campaign financing needs to be overhauled, once you find out what Measure 9 really does, you will probably agree that Measure 9 is not what it seemed. | | | In the guise of keeping big money out of elections, Measure 9 actually limits the voices of social workers, teachers, lesbians and gay men, and many other Oregonians who deserve a voice in the political process. |

| | While Measure 9 could not limit the candidate contributions without running afoul of the Constitution, it did allow the opponent of a self-funded candidate who exceeded $10,000 in contributionsfrom themselves to be exempted from the contribution limits, as a disincentive to wealthier candidates to pour excessive amounts of their own money into their races. | | | After Measure 9, the trial lawyers PAC contributed just $3,450 and the Criminal Defense Lawyers just $7,400. | | | Measure 9 was a hybrid reform that combined strict contribution limits with voluntary spending limits, and modified use of an existing tax credit for contributors. |

| | Because Ballot Measure 67 prohibits law enforcement officers from harming, neglecting, injuring or destroying any property connected with the medical use of marijuana, it places a substantial burden on law enforcement officers to anticipate potential medical use claims and to determine their validity in the initial stages of an investigation. | | | If the district attorney or a court determines that a medical use defense applies, seized marijuana, and paraphernalia associated with the production or use of marijuana ("paraphernalia"), must be returned to the person from whom it was seized. | | | This exception applies to persons who have received a medical use permit from the Oregon Department of Health or who have a pending application for a permit. |

| | In 1992, a record number of Oregon voters debated Ballot Measure 9, an initiative that the OCA hoped would prevent gays from holding any "special rights." The initiative suffered a slim defeat (53 percent to 47 percent) in a vicious political battle. | | | The penalty for permitting such discussions would be the removal of funding from that school. | | | The proposed law states that any instruction or discussion relating to sexual orientation would not be allowed in Oregon's public schools. |

| | There was no need for such extraordinary caution as all these were redundant in the phase of Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan which forbade the maintenance of land, sea and air forces as well as other war potential. | | | Article 9 has been a bone of contention since the constitutional revision bill was being deliberated in 1951-52, the year Japan concluded the San Francisco Peace Treaty and regained political independence. | | | The Socialists and the Communists are prepared to gloss over the "unconstitutionality" of article 9 as long as the constitution bans Japan's involvement in foreign military conflicts but does not pose a military threat to any other country. |
