The House Rules Committee of the Oregon legislature will consider a bill to abolish the Independent Party of Oregon (IPO).
The bill bans using the word "independent" in the name of any political party, thus forcing the Independent Party to change its name by the end of the year or be disbanded.
“The free speech and free association implications of this bill are stunning, particularly when you consider that no legislator has listed their name as a sponsor,” said Party Chair, Linda Williams. “This as a transparent partisan attempt by a handful of legislators to strangle the Independent Party of Oregon in its infancy."
This is such an important issue that you need to understand what the implications are. So please use the above link to The Hankster's blog to get all the details.
