write to bradbury and complain

— Oregon's domestic-partnership law comes under the legal spotlight again this week, with opposite sides squaring off in front of a three-judge panel from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

At issue is whether state officials should have disqualified signatures on petitions calling for a statewide vote on the law in the 2008 general election.

Secretary of State Bill Bradbury's office announced in October that opponents fell just short of gathering the 55,179 signatures required to place the issue on the ballot.
