Greetings,
The Oregon Republican Party has devoted over a year to ascertaining the needs and desires of
Oregonians with regard to their political representation. We have asked Republicans, Democrats,
Independents and Non-Partisans,alike,to share their views on a variety of issues,from jobs to day care.
{ Based upon the information we sought from voters, we recruited the best field of candidates,the
Republican Party has enjoyed in quite some time.Individuals that are truly,in every way,qualified to
serve in public office and represent the needs of the people.
As you know, Democrats have dominated the Oregon Legislature since 1957.We wish we had
favorable reports to make on•Oregon's economy and the wellspring of permanent jobs that have failed to
materialize under that leadership.
Nationally,we look to the strength and leadership the Reagan/Bush team have brought to the nation
and look with pride town unparalleled series of accomplishments,including: .f
The.creation of over eight million new jobs,
The longest period of peace time economic growth,in our nation's history,
- 1'
The first real reduction of the nuclear weapons stockpile of the United States and the
Soviet-Union,since the invention of the atom bomb,
The nation's.unemployment rates below six per cent,and the unemployment rate,of
working women below four per cent,
The commitment of Republicans to the people of Oregon,and the nation,is real...its tangible.We
care about people enough to help them establish permanent jobs and permanent growth for the stability
of their families.We want Oregon,to enjoy the accomplishments the nation is experiencing.
We urge your real consideration and support of Republican candidates and our ability to create areal
partnership with the people,for a real,Oregon Comeback!
Sincerely,
T.J.Bailey

O ItICal' Pyrt statel1'1ellt PARTY OF OREGON
LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF OREGON".
If you think-
• Other countries should pay for their own defense.
• Competition works better than monopolies. .
• The'War on Poverty"hasn't helped the poor.
• Prohibition didn't work in the 1920s and isn't working today.
We need less government:
Then very likely you're a libertarian. :
Don't Throw Your Vote Away
Have you noticed that government policies are much the same,whether you vote for a Democrat or a Republican?The Libertarian Party
' offers a real choice and areal alternative to the failed policies of the"major"parties.Don't throw your vote away.Don't endorse policies
you don't really support.Make astatement for change and vote Libertarian.
' Vote Libertarian for Peace
Government deploys troops worldwide,embroiling us in needless conflicts.Libertarians support—
a • Ending intervention in.other countries'internal affairs.
ti o • Encouraging'free trade and immigration among all nations.Barriers at our borders block the economic exchange that avoids
wars.
• Withdrawing U.S;troops overaeas.'Half of our defense budget is spent to defend Europe;Japan,and other nations that can
afford to defend themselves.
• Negotiating for continued reductions in nuclear arms.
• Building a strong U.S:defense against any attack:
Only the* Party realizes that the best way to promote freedom abroad is to lead by example at home
Vote Libertarian for Prosperity -
,
(fig
Government tries to create prosperity by taxing and spending,but fails.Libertarians support-
i Massive cuts in government spending;including the elimination of all subsidies.
• Tax cuts instead of just tax reform.Government now takes nearly half our income.
Libertarian policies'will produce an economic boom.,For example,the federal budget was cu.t`by 70915 from 1945 to 1948.Forecasters
predicted recession;instead the economy grew by more than 10%each year and millions of new jobs were created:Only the Libertarian
Party will decrease government's share of the economy,bringing real economic growth and creating quality jobs for Americans'.
Vote Libertarian for Choices
'Government often_chooses for us,assuming that it knows best.Libertarians think—
You'll spend your money on better causes than the foreign dictators,favored corporations,and government bureaucrats that the
politicians give your money to.
• You'll like the lower prices and com etitive service that result from eliminating government monopolies:'
Competition will provide new choices in.education, transit, and dozens of other markets. More choices also means more personal
responsibility to choose wisely.Only the Libertarian Party recognizes your right to manage your own life. '
Vote Libertarian for Safety.
Government is losing the War on Drugs,just as the war to prohibit alcohol was lost years ago.More drug enforcement restricts supplies
and increases risks to drug dealers,but also inflates drug prices and dealer profi ts. Higher drug prices attract more dealers. Addicts
commit more crimes to pay the higher prices.Prisons overflow and must release dangerous criminals into society.Gangsters dominate
the drug trade and menace innocent people.Contaminated needles and drug-related.prostitution spread disease.
Reasonable people across the political spectrum are realizing that the War on Drugs is a failure.Libertarians support:
• Eliminating crime committed to buy illegal drugs.
• Putting the drug gangs out of business.
Reducing the spread of AIDS and other diseases transmitted by contaminated needles and drug-related prostitution.
• Eliminating the drug profits and mystique that cause kids to push drugs among other kids.
• Concentrating police resources on preventing crimes against persons and property:
Ending drug prohibition is the only policy that will solve these problems.Drugs are available now and will be available then.The law
should only punish drug abuse that violates the rights of others, such as driving under the influence.Only the Libertarian Party
recognizes that the way,to restrain drug use is through education,family values,and individual judgment,not coercion.

POIItICai 'Part atement PARTY OF OREGON-
Vote Libertarian for Your Property Rights
Millions of emigrants came to America for land of their own.They came from countries where the King or Lord owned the best lands and
where millions were landless.Libertarians support:
• Ending"eminent domain,"which allows the government to seize your property for its use.
Establishing your ri ght to build or modify your home as you see fit,without government permits,permissions,or regulations.
• Replacing property taxes with user.fees;so that you no longer have to rent your own home from the government landlord.
• Replacing land use planning and zoning with voluntary covenants.Government planning has increased,housing`costs,
created housing shortages,and segregated different classes and races.
• Returning title of today's"Crown Lands"—state and national forests—to their rightful owners,the people.
Only the Libertarian Party will restore property owners to their rightful status—freeholders in a free land.
Vote'Libertarian for Our Children
y ,
Government policies are harming our children.Libertarians support:
•.Alternatives to mediocre government schools.Competition will invigorate schools and improve education.
• Balanced government budgets.It is unfair to shift our tax burdens to future generations.
j ;' • A noninterventionist foreign policy and arms control negotiations that reduce the risk of nuclear war,the greateatahreat to
us and to our children.
Only the Libertarian Party will remove the clouds of illiteracy,debt;and nuclear destruction that now dim our children's future. '
II ,
Vote Libertarian for America's Constitution
k ! Libertarians share America's basic political ideals,of a constitutional republic and individual rights for all.Libertarians support; '
•'Limiting federal powers to those enumerated in the Constitution,as required by the Tenth Amendment.'.`
Securing individual rights a
• g guaranteed in the Constitution and now ignored.These rights include they right'to keep and bear
arms and freedom from involuntary servitude(no draft). -
• Replacing inflationary paper,money,with gold or silver,as required by the Constitution.
Only the Libertarian Party will.return government to.its proper and limited role of protecting individual rights.
The Libertarian Alternative
Only he Libertarian Part consistent) calls for an end to government intervention in peoples personal lives,in the economy, J
y Party y g my,and'in the,'
;;. affairs of other nations. £,
�3 Liberals are learning that taxes and regulations stifle freedom as much as violations of civil liberties. Conservatives are learning that
policing the world stifles freedom as much as economic regulation. Religious believers are learning that legislating inorality'is not
compatible with a faith of love.People across the political spectrum are learning that the Libertarian approach-personal and economic:
P liberty for all;-f transcends`the politics of the past.,, v
The Libertarian Record
I; The Libertarian.Party,began in 1972 and is America's third-largest political party.More than seventy Libertarians hold elected offices,
nationwide.Hundreds more are running fof office in 198$.
Oregon Libertarians have helped defeat proposals-for sales tax,'a Eugene city income tax,and a Tri-Met income tax.Oregon
4 Libertarians have worked in support of tag limitation,marijuana decriminalization, and other ballot'measures that would increase
freedom

STATEMENT OF U.S.SENATOR LLOYD BENTSEN
FOR OREGON VOTERS'PAMPHLET:
s. UNITED STATES VICE PRESIDENT
After eight years of indifference and neglect,America is demanding
a change.We are going to get one on November 8;and it is going to
be change for the better.
Why are millions of Americans being drawn to the proven,compe-
tent,hands-on leadership of Mike Dukakis?Because they are tired
of the borrow-and-spend policies that have doubled our national
debt in less than eight years, mortgaged our economic future to
foreign investors,started interest rates up again,and slammed the
door of opportunity on millions of our people. !,
This'Administration calls itself conservative. But'it has never
submitted a balanced budget. The last one was put together by a
Democratic. President — Lyndon Johnson. Perhaps the
Republicans should take some lessons from Mike Dukakis who
balanced ten budgets in a row as he brought prosperity to Massa-
chusetts.
When Mike.Dukakis came to office, Massachusetts was in deep
economic trouble.It had the second highest unemployment rate in
the nation. It had lost 80,000 jobs the previous year. But Mike
Dukakis turned that around. He created 400,000 new jobs. He
brought unemployment down to 3.5%.He cut taxes five times.He
balanced the budget every year. And he was very careful with the
A taxpayers'money. _
Just'consider this:since 1980,our trade deficit has'totalled more
than,half a trillion dollars. In the short period of three years we
ceased being the largest lender nation in the world and became the i
largest debtor nation in history. High-paying manufacturing jobs
became a leading American export.Competitive American products
were denied access to world markets.And while this Administration
closed its eyes and turned back on trade,America's position of world
economic leadership suffered serious erosion. (This information furnished by Dukak'jBentsen Committee,Inc.)

Harold•F. Moore,.w native Oregonian, was born in 1945 and
brought up by his working class parents in Multnomah County.An
activist and a leader at an early age,he was elected the student body
president of Portland Community College and the editor of the
school newspaper,The Bridge.
In recent years Mr.`Moore, a journalist who writes for the j
monthly newsmagazine Just Out, has been active in local political
causes and national-,campaigns, as well as in lesbian and gay
projects. This year he was the media coordinator,of the Names
Project,the 170;000 square foot AIDS memorial quilt that focused {
national attention on the personal dimensions of the AIDS epi-
demic. , f
Mr.Moore first met Dr.Lenora Fulani,the independent Presi-
dential candidate, when he was assigned to*interview her by Just Cli
Out. The brief interview turned into an extended and in-depth
conversation between, the militantly•pro-gay African-American
leader,who has made the fight for lesbian and gay rights a corn- }
erstone of her campaign, and the journalist-activist. The dialogue
continued in Atlanta,Georgia—where Dr.Fulani led thousands of ,
demonstrators from all over the country in a,protest against the I
disrespect shown to Reverend Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow at the H
Democratic Party convention — to New York City, where Mr:
Moore was nominated as the independent New Alliance Party's i
Vice Presidential candidate in Oregon at the party's nominating
convention.
"I stand with Dr.Fulani,whose campaign has been a crusade for
fair elections,in supporting greater democratic involvement of the
people in the political process," Mr. Moore says. "I share her
commitment to the rights of Native Americans,the homeless,and•
lesbians and gays; and to putting an end to racism, sexism and
homophobia. And I stand four-square in favor of environmental
sanity."

The key issue iir politics today is individual liberty versus
#' government power. Personal choice versus government control.
Libertarians are the only people who are consistently Pro-Choice on
economic, civil, and personal matters: The only proper role for
government is to protect each individual's right to choose.
America's large, powerful,,intrusive government has grown by
shrinking our individual freedom. Government power and indi-
