Register Guard: At least 18 signature gatherers working to refer two tax increases to the ballot have criminal convictions for forgery, theft, stalking or sex offenses, according to research by a political opposition group. The group, Defend Oregon, released its findings Monday as it gears up to campaign against the petition drive and to keep the two tax increases in place. Under state law, those with convictions for fraud, forgery or identity theft in any state within five years cannot collect signatures. Defend Oregon spokesman Scott Moore said none of the 18 signature gatherers with criminal backgrounds appears to have such convictions within the past five years. Still, he said voters should take pause before signing a petition circulated by a paid signature gatherer. “If you’re giving your signature to a paid signature gatherer, you are running the risk of giving your name, address and signature to somebody who has convictions for forgery or theft or even sexual assault,” he said.

Excellent web page. Nice commenting system. Sorry for the off-topic post, but I ended up being incredibly pleased with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Australian OPen this yr. The guy is simply unrivaled. He showed he was as solid as stainless steel. Only imagine about he he could whip Nadal who has been so enthusiastic to win and really was so pumped up during the 5th set. Now i’m beginning to think that Djokovic is doing some religious work to take some forces on his side that really help him win such matches against the best players in the planet
