**OREGON STATE ACTION: WRITE, E-MAIL OR CALL YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES**

In just a few weeks, the state legislative session will end. and there several bills that need a healthy push to make it to the finish line. We will highlight one of those bills each day and provide you with a sample letter that you can use to contact your Oregon state legislators. To find who represents you and their respective contact information, click here.

“[REPRESENTATIVE’S NAME]:

This letter is to let you know that I support HB 2762 / SB 594, the bills that would require that presidential and vice presidential candidates produce five years of tax returns before they can appear on the ballot in Oregon. I ask that you help get these bills passed out of committee and into law before the end of the legislative session.

I strongly believe that voters deserve to know where presidential and vice presidential candidates get their money and whom they owe — before we place them on our state ballot.

I understand that this bill is being countered by a “memorial” bill that would ask the U.S. Congress to require candidates to produce just ONE year of taxes. That bill is unacceptable to me because, with a Republican majority in the Senate, Congressional action won’t happen. We cannot wait on Congress to get the information we need to be informed voters.

Please pass HB 2762/SB 594 out of committee and into law.

Sincerely,

[Name and contact information]”
