Displaced Oregonian needs help with election issues

[Stargazer09]

Hi everyone! I am living in another state right now, due to life in the military. Oregon is my home of record, and of course, I am registered to vote there. Unfortunately, being away from home means that I don't get a good idea of what is going on politically.

There are several ballot measures that I'm really not sure about. In particular, the constitutional amendments, the prescription drug coverage, and the campaign finance law changes.

Can anybody give me an idea of how progressive voters are voting on any of these? Some discussion would be very helpful, since I really want to make the right choices. My voter's packet doesn't really give all of the nuances that those of you in-state may be reading in the papers and seeing on TV.

Thanks!

2. Wow! Thanks!

I've never seen that site before. Thank you so much for pointing it out to me. It helps a lot.

I am so glad that Oregon has paper ballots. I see what's been happening in other states, with the Diebold garbage, and it's pretty scary. At least I know that my vote will actually count!

Thanks again!

I hope you check this thread...
I am unable to post to the PDD/Asperger group because I am not a member...
I did want to give you the following information....
Your son's condition sounds more symptomatic of a condition called Sensory Integration Disorder, particularly since it sounds as if social and mental faculties are not nearly as affected as motor. I recommend that you get a book called "the out of sync child" by Carol Kranowitz. There are case descriptions that mirror your son's symptoms with lots of recommendations for intervention. Hope you get this, and hope it helps.
