The Oregon Personhood Movement
The fight for life is raging nationwide right now like never
before and we wish to thank you for your conscientious decision to
support every preborn child's right to life. We are Personhood USA and
our goal is simple: Together, we will glorify Jesus and then stop the
dehumanizing of and destruction of preborn people.
Oregon is one of the few states that, based on the
Constitution of the state, allows for a Constitutional Amendment to be
passed by the people. Which means every person who respects life MUST do
their part to stop the injustice.
The organizers that got personhood on the ballot in
Colorado, would like to help in Oregon as well. By getting personhood on
the ballot, we force the question that the pro-death side does not want
to answer, "when does life begin"?
Personhood USA is about establishing the personhood of the
unborn. Why? Well, anyone deemed a "person" is protected under
the constitution and granted the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. All humans are people, it's just common sense, and all
humans deserve rights.
We are committed to restoring the God given right to life to
all humans!
We can strategically restore human rights in 17 different
states by amending each state's constitution.
Friends, this isn't a fairy tale. It isn't fiction. This is
real and it's happening right now.
Please get involved as either a volunteer
or become a Personhood
Advocate with a one time or monthly donation.
The Oregon Personhood Amendment has not yet been put on the

How can you help?:
GET
INVOLVED!
Any help is useful. Whether you can spend a few hours a day
or only a few minutes one time, every little bit helps pave the way to
the end of abortion.
The first step is to submit the legal language of the
amendment to the Secretary of State's office and have it
approved.
Once the legal language is approved, it's time to start
gathering registered voter signatures.
In order for the amendment to be put on the ballot and voted
on come the next election (in 2010) Oregon state law requires a petition
be circulated and signed by an number of registered voters equal to 8%
of the votes cast for the current governor.
Petition circulation period is UNLIMITED. Signatures must be
turned in 4 months prior to the election.
That means, that once the language for the amendment is
approved by the state supreme court, you can begin collecting signatures
right away. Here's what you can do:
Volunteer – Would you like to help? Sign
up here. Give us your name, address, phone number & email
address so we can contact you with updates and important information. We
need leaders and followers to make this happen. Volunteers will have the
opportunity to circulate petitions, help raise funds and travel around
the state spreading the word about Personhood!
Donate – In order to be successful, the
personhood movement needs to raise funds to launch state and nationwide
marketing campaigns and to cover the expenses of Personhood leaders who
will be traveling state to state to ensure that Personhood succeeds.
Your help is vital and appreciated. Please click
here to make a donation.
Spread the Word – Not everyone has the
funds or time to donate to this cause. If not, please spend just a few
minutes right now and send everyone you know an email with a link to
this website. If your referral brings in just one volunteer, donator or
"word spreader" your time spent and effort will have been more
valuable than you can possibly imagine.
Now is the time to get involved! If you are a leader, please
contact us immediately
and we'll do all we can to help get this initiative off the ground. If
you want to help as a volunteer sign up here!
