Vote for Equality
In just days Oregonians will decide what will be -- for better or for worse -- a defining election for the future of GLBT equality in Oregon for years to come. Never has there been more at stake in local, legislative and statewide candidate races for our movement. That's why Basic Rights Oregon has more than doubled any of our previous efforts to elect pro-GLBT legislators and unseat those who have stood in the way of equality.
See Basic Rights Oregon's endorsements at http://www.voteequality.com/endorsements.asp
Salem Transgender Network urges you to vote in this election. We hope you will consider joining us in voting for candidates who have demonstrated their belief in equality for all Oregonians.
