Important Smith Links
-Anti-Choice Record. Smith has earned a 15 percent score from pro-choice advocates.
-Voting 90 percent with President Bush. Yes, Smith agrees with nine out of 10 decisions this president makes!
-Anti-Environment Record. Smith has earned a 14 percent score from environmental advocates.
-Veterans Record. Smith earned a failing, 40 percent score from Disabled American Veterans.
Labor Record
As this is Labor Day Week, it’s important to note Smith’s votes against Oregon’s men and women who labor every day to support their families.
He’s repeatedly voted against the minimum wage, and he voted against an amendment that would repeal tax incentives for companies that move their manufacturing plants offshore.
So, Smith doesn’t support a living wage for waiters, store clerks, assisted living workers and other folks trying to make a living, but will fight for tax incentives for major corporations that move jobs overseas.
He doesn’t support Oregon’s working families or Oregon values, so why should Oregonians support him?
Scroll through www.StopGordonSmith.com and find a category or post that will inspire your friends and family in Oregon to join us. Send it to them and encourage them to join the Stop Gordon Smith Campaign.
Sincerely,
Trent Lutz
Executive Director
Democratic Party of Oregon
P.S. Our efforts are paying off. Smith garnered only 38 percent of the vote in a recent poll. In that same survey, Undecided polled at 35. That means a 10-year incumbent U.S. Senator is in a statistical dead heat with Undecided! We are getting our message out to Oregonians and they are responding. Let’s keep up the fight.
