Ron Wyden Does Not Represent Oregon
66% of Ron Wyden’s campaign contribution come from outside of Oregon*.
The top special interests represented by Wyden are:
If Ron Wyden’s primary political backers are in New York, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles, then does he truly represent Oregonians?
No, he does not!
Ron Wyden cannot truly represent Oregonians if the majority of his financial support comes from wealthy donors outside of our State.
In 1994 Oregon Voters passed Ballot Measure 6, which banned the use of out-of-State donations by political candidates. Two Federal Judges decided that our law was unconstitutional and refused to uphold it.
We have already told Ron Wyden that taking out-of-State money is against our laws, but he isn’t listening.
If your money isn’t good enough for Ron Wyden, then he doesn’t deserve your vote either.

Wyden's primary loyalty has always been Israel.

I am not anon from the first comment, I was probably number 3, (now 4)but wanted to add one more thing. Dont fall into the trap of the left/right hoax and vote republican just because wyden is democrat. Forget the left/right hoax, and do your homework for the candidate that is dedicated to Oregon, not special interests, or the same ol, that is ruining this state. Stay away from the candidates that think the federal government should be more powerful than the states. The governor will be leaving, he is a total puppet to the federal government, so lets make some good changes. To be honest, I am wondering if we will even have an election in November, but if we do, vote thru education, not indoctrination,or because you are part of the republican or democratic party. for the last 100 years, its republican, they screw up, so people vote democrat, and it goes on and on while our country/state keeps the same overall agenda, and our country/state falls apart. Be an individual and research.

Hamas seized control?????????????? wtf? Israel set up the fatah to be their puppet, but the people, in a DEMOCRATIC vote, voted for Hamas!! And Wydens career TOTAL of contributions from AIPAC is over 300,000. I will be doing my best to make sure he is NOT re-elected, nor any other candidate that supports israel above and beyond the state he was elected to support. No man can serve two masters. Thanks Erson and thanks previous anon. May I please add: Israel's legitimacy is not being attacked, it is committing suicide! Israel refuses to draw its borders and live within them. Israel has never written a constitution. Israel has not complied with the conditions placed on it for UN membership, and Israel holds the dubious distinction of having defied more UN resolutions than any other country. Israel refuses to sign the NNPT or allow IAEA inspections, and yet despite documentary proof that Israel not only has nuclear weapons but has been selling them to a still undisclosed list of customers, Israel points fingers at non-WMD nations like Iraq and Iran and flogs the United States to go kill them. If Israel wants to join the community of modern nations here in the 21st Century that is just fine as long as they agree to act like a modern nation here in the 21st Century. But as long as Israel persists in behaving as if they are above the rules that other nations abide by, then nobody will see it as legitimate. It is a Pirate Kingdom, and its legitimacy is destroyed by its own hand.

There is one simple solution. Vote Senetor Wyden out of office in November. We need to get out the vote, spread the word about Huffman, show Oregonians that there is a man who can help get the country back on track. Learn all about Huffman at www.huffmanforsenate.com/blog.html

This is the form letter I got from Wyden's office re the Gaza Flotilla.. "Dear Mr. Pittman: Thank you for contacting me about Israel’s arms blockade of Gaza and the flotilla incident. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. As you may know, Israel has imposed an arms blockade on Gaza since the terrorist organization Hamas seized control of the territory in 2007. For the past several years, this blockade has permitted basic humanitarian goods to enter Gaza while significantly hindering the ability of countries like Iran to arm militants there. In May 2010, the pro-Hamas Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) organized a six-ship flotilla to try to break the blockade. Israel urged the flotilla to unload its cargo and offered to deliver their supplies to Gaza. When the flotilla refused, Israeli naval commandos boarded the ships and took control of five without incident. On the sixth ship, armed individuals attacked the commandos, and the confrontation resulted in the death of 8 Turks and a Turkish-American. I am deeply saddened by this loss of life. I believe this tragic incident only underscores the need for a comprehensive peace agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians. I am also disappointed that the IHH needlessly precipitated this confrontation by rejecting Israel’s efforts to ensure that humanitarian cargo reached Gaza while allowing inspection for contraband and explosives. I hope that well-meaning folks on both sides of this issue will now rededicate themselves to the cause of peace and mutual prosperity. I am pleased that the Israeli government announced its intention to promptly carry out a thorough investigation of the flotilla incident and that it would allow additional types of supplies to reach Gaza. I hope that the Hamas leadership will respond with positive steps, such as by renouncing the use of terror as a weapon, acknowledging Israel’s right to exist, and honoring the agreements that previous Palestinian governments signed. While I know that a lasting peace in the region will not come about overnight, please know that I remain optimistic and committed to seeing it through. Again, thank you for keeping me apprised of issues that are important to you. If I can be of further assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Ron Wyden United States Senator Ron Wyden is one of the top ten recipients of AIPAC member money...who does he represent?
