Fellow Oregonians,

If passed, Ballot Measure 43 would force physicians to send a certified letter by mail notifying parents before an older teen, 15, 16 or 17 years old could have an abortion. There is no exception for victims of rape or incest, and it pushes the most vulnerable teens AWAY from the care of trained professionals like nurses and counselors.

We need you help. Join the ACLU of Oregon and the No on Ballot Measure 43 campaign for a massive get-out-the-vote telephone effort to defeat Ballot Measure 43 -- the government-mandated “parental notification” ballot measure sponsored by Oregon Right to Life. Your help is needed to reach and sway undecided voters to defeat this dangerous measure.

Phone banks are being set up in regions across the state. Whether you can donate an hour, three hours or 20 or more hours between now and Election Day, your help is vital.

You can get involved in three ways:
>> Contact the campaign by email at carmen.schwisow@ppcw.org
>> Visit http://www.noon43.com to learn more
>> Call the No on 43 campaign at (503) 234-9300.

We hope you'll join us!

Sincerely,

Andrea Meyer
Legislative Director
ACLU of Oregon
