While
Kulongoski favors a regressive sales
tax, Pete Sorenson calls for major
corporations with 75 shareholders or more to
pay their fair share of income tax (2/3 pay
none). We must invest in education K-College, and
provide healthcare for the 600,000 Oregonians
who have none. With your vote for a real
Democrat for Governor, we can change the state of
our Great State.

Dear Fellow Oregonians,

People across Oregon ask
me who I am and why I'm running for governor. My answer
is straightforward: I am a child of Oregon. Our great
state is suffering. Our people are battling deepening
economic adversity without any help. Oregon’s defining
quality over the past half-century - the hope for a
better tomorrow – is rapidly
evaporating.

I am a populist and progressive Democrat -
one with real, old-fashioned Democratic values of being
for working families, their jobs and their communities,
and ultimately for their well-being. These values could
hardly be more important now, when the democratic
infrastructure built up by the Democratic Party over
these last seven decades is being manipulated, twisted
and torn down at every turn. I stand for the people of
Oregon. I always have, and I always will. It's how I'm
made.

One thing I have learned over the years is
that here in Oregon, the people rule. Here in Oregon,
when leaders grow weary or uncertain, ordinary people
must occasionally rise up and show them the way,
sometimes in extraordinary ways. That is our challenge
today. The time is short. Please explore our website
here at www.petesorenson.com and join me in doing
extraordinary things for Oregon.

Sincerely,

Pete Sorenson

Feeling taxed? Not big business

Revenue - Two decades of cuts have
slashed Oregon's corporate tax burden, and households
are footing the bill
BETSY HAMMOND
the Oregonian, Sunday, April 16, 2006

When
Oregonians file their state income tax returns Monday,
they will be on track to pay $10.6 billion over two
years -- nearly 90 percent of the tab for state
government -- while corporations that do business in
Oregon will pay $705 million.

Despite election-year rhetoric that businesses
are overtaxed, no state asks businesses to pay a lighter
share of its state budget than Oregon does.
