One of the most important bills to pass the
1999 legislature was SB 369. This bill allowed the Oregon Gun Owners
Political Victory Fund to offer Oregonians a tax credit for contributions
up to $50 for a single person and $100 for a couple. You can read the text
of SB
369 for reference. If you click on
the link, the language for the credit is found in Section 27 of the bill.
See below for more information on the tax credit.

OGO POLITICAL VICTORY FUND (PVF)
The OGO PVF is a PAC (political action
committee) which raises money to support
pro-rights and pro-hunting candidates in Oregon, as well as weighing in
on ballot measures. The PVF is dedicated to working to stop restrictive
ballot measures that appear on Oregon's ballot. Often the anti-gunners
attempt to use the ballot measure process to pass their restrictive ideas (such
as 2000's Measure 5).
The OGO PVF is a qualified Political Action Committee
under Oregon Statute which qualifies for the Oregon Political Tax Credit.
An individual can donate up to $50 or a couple can donate up to $100 and
have it count as a credit on their Oregon Income Taxes. (click

for Dept. of Revenue legal language on the tax credit)
THAT'S RIGHT! Rather than giving the State of Oregon
that money, you can donate to the OGO PVF and deduct that amount directly
off of your Oregon State Income Taxes. So, it's either give it to the state
or give it to OGO!
The OGO PVF has successfully worked to elect pro-gun
candidates to the Oregon House and Senate. By working with the candidates
through donating money or rallying grassroots support, the OGO PVF ensures
that we'll continue to outnumber the anti-gunners in the Oregon Legislature.
