Dear Oregonian, I am excited to tell you about some of the improvements that we’ve been making to increase your confidence in a safe, reliable, and easy-to-navigate elections system. Our toll-free voter information line at 1-866-ORE-VOTES (1-866-673-8683) or TTY service at 1-866-350-0596 is available every business day all year long from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm if you have any questions about your ballot or about voting. Under the federal Help America Vote Act, we have implemented a new Centralized Voter Registration system that keeps our voter rolls clean and up-to-date, and we are working on ways to make voting more accessible for people with disabilities. The federal law also imposes some new identification requirements. If you are registering to vote in Oregon for the first time, you must provide your Oregon Driver’s License number, or if you do not have a Driver’s License, then you must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you do not have either a Driver’s License or Social Security number and are registering by mail, then you may provide a copy of other forms of identification listed on the voter registration card. If you have moved, or changed your name, you must fill out a new voter registration card, but you do not have to provide ID. Be sure to put your old information in the “updates” section at the bottom of the card. Voter registration cards are available online at www.OregonVotes.org, from your local DMV or county elections office, or in this pamphlet. If you are registering for the first time, you must register by April 25 to participate in this election. For those of you who are already registered to vote, please return your ballot so that it is received by May 16. Remember, the decisions you make with your ballot will affect all of our lives and the future of our state. Best wishes,

Official 2006 Primary Election Voters’ Pamphlet 6 | General Information Duties and Responsibilities of Republican Precinct Committeepersons Precinct committeemen and committeewomen are the grassroots representatives of the Republican Party in Oregon. A Precinct Committee Person (PCP) is the “face” of the party and an “advocate” for Republican political principles in their neighborhoods and communities. They are asked to attend regular meetings of their county Republican Central Committee in order to help set the party agenda in the county and to strategize how to spread the Republican message at the local level. As a PCP you have a voice in selecting Republican Party leadership on the county, state and national levels. You may even seek a leadership position yourself. County leaders in turn help select the state party leaders who in turn participate on the Republican National Committee and elect the national party leaders. PCPs also select Oregon delegates and alternates to attend the Republican National Convention. PCPs are often called on by Republican candidates to help with grassroots campaigning. You may be asked to “walk” your precinct with a candidate, introducing the candidate to friends and neighbors. You may also be asked to participate in making phone calls and distributing campaign materials in your precinct. You will become the Republican Party in your community. PCPs should be able to convey these basic principles of the Republican philosophy: • Republicans believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored. • Republicans believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability. • Republicans believe that free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative has brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity. • Republicans believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of what they earn. • Republicans believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least. • Republicans believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people. • Republicans believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new ideas to meet the challenges of changing times. • Republicans believe Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world. • Republicans believe our party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government. This fall, Oregon Republicans will work to retain and extend our majority in the House chamber and increase the Senate minority to majority status in the Oregon Legislature. We will also work to elect Republican representatives to the United States Congress and a Republican governor. PCPs will play key roles in bringing about these victories. While Republican precinct persons are encouraged to support the candidates of their choice in the primary election, it is expected that PCP’s, as representatives of the party during the general election, will support all Republican candidates receiving the party’s nomination. If you would like more information about the Oregon Republican Party, or would like to be more involved with the GOP in Oregon, please call our state party headquarters at (503) 587-9233. You may send e-mail to [email protected] or visit our website at www.orgop.org Vance D. Day Chairman, Oregon Republican Party PO Box 789 Salem, OR 97308

Occupation: President DKINC; State Representative Occupational Background: Small Business Owner; Political Director, Congressman Joe Scarborough; Field Director, Congressman Rick White Educational Background: B.S. Portland State; A.A. Lower Columbia College Prior Governmental Experience: Chairman, Rules Committee; Chairman, Lower Columbia Economic Development Subcommittee, Vice Chairman, Business and Labor Committee; Member, PSCC Washington County Dear Friends: Over the past 2 election cycles, the voters of House District 30 have put their faith in me to be their voice in the Oregon Legislature. I have been honored to do so. The voters have supported our campaign for several reasons: honesty, integrity, and willingness to fight for the voters, and not special interests. Our message of lower taxes, less government intervention, protecting private property rights and always focusing on the best Oregon has to offer has been the strength of our campaigns. Now in 2006, I am asking the voters of the 1st Congressional District to allow me, Derrick Kitts, to take our Oregon values to Washington DC and fight to clean up the existing culture of corruption. During the last legislative session, I fought to ensure the Campaign Finance Reform Bill was passed, making Oregon’s disclosure laws some of the most comprehensive and open in the country. This bill was the most significant piece of legislation of the 2005 session. As your Congressman, I will fight to make these same sunshine laws applicable to Congress. I also fought to hold the line on taxes and balance the budget. The people of Oregon will get a Kicker check and we did it all without raising taxes on hard working Oregonians. Just as in the past elections, if you have any questions for me or my campaign staff please feel free to call me directly at 503-312-8146. For these reasons, I am asking to be your voice in Congress and for your vote. Derrick Kitts for Congress, BE A PART OF IT! All the best, Derrick Kitts

Norm understands our community is unique, and he will oppose “one size fits all” laws and regulations that don’t meet our needs. Supporting Responsible Natural Resource Management Norm believes natural resources need to be properly managed. He supports responsible management of our natural and renewable resources. Making Oregon Better for our Children and Grandchildren Norm believes that dollars spent on helping young people will reduce larger expenses later. He will work to provide adequate and stable funding for our schools. Norm understands that education should prepare all students for life skills, not just the college bound. Protecting Private Property Rights Norm believes that property rights are an important foundation for a free country. He will make sure our land-use system works for, and not against, Oregonians. Improving Our Transportation System and Making it Safer Norm will work hard to improve our roads and highways. He knows that traffic safety is one area where injury and deaths can be reduced through engineering and education. “Our community needs leadership that it can depend on. I will use my education and experience to work for solutions to the hard problems facing Oregon.” –Norm Myers

Official 2006 Primary Election Voters’ Pamphlet 14 | General Information Duties and Responsibilities of Democratic Precinct Committeepersons A message from the Democratic Party Chair Jim Edmunson. This is your government under Republican leadership: - A tragic and costly war in Iraq premised on lies and deception - Abandonment of tens of thousands of victims of Hurricane Katrina - Senior White House official indicted for lying about outing a covert CIA agent - Secret, illegal programs to spy on American citizens, blatantly violating the Constitution - Environmental laws written by lobbyist for industry polluters - Your tax dollars subsidizing corporations that outsource American jobs - Tax policy to make billionaires richer and produce the large budget deficit in history - A culture of corruption so pervasive that indictments extend from Republicans in Congress to the Oregon House Enough is enough. America and Oregon can do better. Some argue that to fix government we need to create a new political party. Some say Oregon needs “open primaries” to elect more “moderates” or that imposing artificial “non-partisanship” labels will fix broken government. Their frustration is legitimate, but the solutions are misdirected and diversions. The simple fact is if you want to change Congress and to break the Republican logjam in Salem, the best, most effective thing you can do is support the Democratic Party. If you are as fed up as most citizens with the incompetence, cronyism and backwards policies of an extreme Republican Party, then you can make a difference in the Democratic Party. Get involved. Become a Democratic Precinct Committeeperson (PCP) today. When Howard Dean was elected to head the Democratic National Committee, his first words were, “This is not my chairmanship. It is yours.” It was a simple but profound statement. No longer would our party be held hostage by decisions made by an aristocracy of consultants in Washington. Governor Dean has kept his word. Now the call is to us. It is time to demonstrate, as we did in 2004, the awesome grassroots strength of Oregon Democrats. I want you to know the door is open. What is a “PCP” and what do they do? Representative democracy only works if people like you – those who vote and are actually reading the voter’s pamphlet! – get informed, involved and active. Democracy is not a spectator sport. As a PCP, you are the foundation of the party and you have the power to effect change by: - Registering voters and increasing voter turn-out in your neighborhood - Helping elect county, state and national party leaders - Collecting email addresses from interested voters - Letting the party and elected officials know about hot local issues - Making sure the Democratic Party represents you How do I become a PCP? First, you must be registered as a Democrat. If you filed a statement of candidacy with your county elections office by the deadline, your name will appear on the May 16th Primary Election. If not, you may also write in your name on the ballot. To be eligible to win, you must receive a minimum of three votes. This can be accomplished often in your own household, but you are best served by reaching out to as many of your neighbors as possible. Don’t be intimidated. Be empowered. The job of precinct committeeperson can be large or small, depending on your own initiative, but if you accept the title, be prepared to perform some basic periodic activities like: - Help distribute materials in your neighborhood - Organize or participate in a phone bank - Recruit new volunteers - Attend local trainings or meetings If you care and work hard, you can rise fast. Most elected leaders, even some Oregon governors started as PCPs! June 2-4, Democratic State Convention in Eugene PCPs will come together for trainings, to meet candidates, and to help develop the party platform. Together, America can and will do better!

New this Year: Only One Nominating Process The Oregon Legislative Assembly has adopted a new law that states an elector may participate in one, and only one, nominating process for each partisan public office to be filled at the General Election. Partisan public offices to be filled at the 2006 General Election include: US Representative Governor State Senator State Representative any county or city offices designated as partisan Participation in a nominating process includes any of the following: returning a Democratic or Republican ballot at the 2006 Primary Election, regardless of how the ballot is voted participating in a minor political party’s candidate nominating process, which is established in the minor political party’s by-laws and is usually by a nominating convention signing the minutes of an assembly of electors to nominate a nonaffiliated candidate (a candidate not affiliated with any political party) to the General Election signing a certificate of nomination by individual electors to nominate a nonaffiliated candidate (a candidate not affiliated with any political party) to the General Election example Elector A is registered to vote as a member of a major political party and is issued and returns a partisan ballot at the 2006 Primary Election.
