CITY OF ASHLAND
JACK S1 COUNTY, OREGON
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday,November 6, 2012, a measure election will be
held by the City-of Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon, and that such election shall be conducted
by mail pursuant to Oregon law.
The following shall be the ballot title of the measure to be submitted to the city's voters on this
date:
CAPTION: "Question on constitutional definition of"persons" and campaign spending limits"
QUESTION: "Shall Ashland voters instruct Congress to amend U.S. Constitution to grant only
natural persons constitutional rights and limit campaign spending?"
SUMMARY: The Ashland City Council has placed this advisory question on the ballot to
determine whether a majority of Ashland voter's wishes to urge the U.S. Congress
to initiate a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution so as to make federal
constitutional rights available only to natural persons and grant to Congress and
the states authority to regulate campaign contributions and expenditures.
Such a constitutional amendment would make it possible for Congress and state
legislatures to enact limitations and public disclosure requirements on
contributions and spending by and for candidates for elective office, campaign
committees, and independent political committees and individuals.
The outcome of the election on this advisory question will not be binding; it will,
instead, serve to inform Congress of the views of a majority of Ashland voters on
the regulation of campaign finances. Similar advisory elections are occurring in
many other U.S. cities.
