SEAT FOR SALE! The eBay Election?

I got into this race because of the dirty back room dealings that were going
on, and Thursday's Contributions & Expenditures reports, which I went to
Salem to get,  prove, in black and white, just how out-of-control Paul
Holvey's union-looting campaign is. Over 9 dollars in every 10 come from
outside the district!

I seem to recall that one of those Oregon campaign finance reform measures
later overturned by the courts CAPPED the amount of money coming from out of
district because of a legitimate concern by the voters that home rule be
preserved!

Today's Democratic Party Newsletter (EIGHT DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION!)
contains a "smear" piece on my candidacy written by a paid operative for
Holvey! This is utterly beyond the pale, especially when you consider that
Holvey has a 60-1 fundraising advantage! See http://www.hartwilliams.com/hd8
for complete details.

This is a 'win at any price' mentality that has no place in OREGON politics,
no matter which party.

  QUESTIONS: Is our District for sale to the highest bidder?
  Does home rule mean anything?
  
  Or should we just put the seat up for bid on eBay?
