		Campaign to Legalize Democracy - corporations are not people
		On January 21, 2010, the US Supreme Court issued its decision in the case of Citizens United vs FEC and blew the top off of limitations on corporate campaign contributions. Since the beginning of the twenthith century, the US Supreme Court has recognized the ability of the legislative branch to limit corporate political campaign contributions. Take back your democracy!

	National Popular Vote	National Popular Vote is a plan to allow the national popular vote of all voting citizens to decide who the president should be. Currently, that decision is determined in the Electoral College based on a winner-take-all system by on the states. This has allowed for some of our presidents to be elected without having the largest number of popular votes. The National Popular Vote allows the states to enter into a Compact. When enough states have entered the Compact, then the candidate with the largest number of votes will become the president. For Oregon voter, please take action.

		Democratize the Grid - put it on our rooftops Current policy for development of renewable energy sources highly favors national and multi-national corporations who use large and complex government provided tax credits to built large isolated renewable energy complexes. This method of development largely excludes small business and residential projects which are close to the source of use. We advocate for Renewable Energy Payments(Feed In Tariffs)to move us toward locally based low capital renewable energy development. More and More Listen to Judy Barnes, who heads up our efforts for an effective Feed-in Tariff in Oregon, explain the program. This video was filmed a couple weeks in advance of the Oregon Public Utility Commission's release of rules governing the Oregon program, the first statewide program in the United States. Visit the Oregonian's for Renewable Energy Policy website for more details on the Oregon program. Update (10-1-11): OREP and Sierra Club jointly wrote a letter to the Governor detailing the benefits of a Feed-In Tariff program. As a result, OREP has been invited to meet with two members of the Governor's staff. Read the letter here.

		Instant Run-off Voting - no more spoilers America's two party system disenfranshises American voters by forcing them to choose the lesser of two evils all too often.

No more spoiler candidates; just honest elections. More or visit our allies: Fair Vote, IRV Oregon
