OFIR Members and supporters:
Please look at the press release from the Governor at the end of this message.
Governor Kulongoski signed Senate Bill 1080 on Friday. OFIR members have for years tried to get the legislature to pass such a bill. Congratulations to everyone!! SB 1080 closely resembles the driver license portion of the Respect for Law Act.
However the Respect for Law Act contains two other important provisions;
The requirement that anyone registering to vote for the first time must prove that they are a citizen and the provision that allows local police to work directly with federal immigration authorities.
Please continue to collect signatures and mail the initiative sheets back to the OFIR PO Box.
Once again congratulations to everyone in OFIR!
