Freedom Socialist Party (Oregon)

The Freedom Socialist Party is a minor political party in the U.S. state of Oregon affiliated with the Seattle, Washington based Freedom Socialist Party as a local chapter.cite web | title = Where to find us | work = Freedom Socialist Party (Official website) | publisher = Seattle, Washington: Freedom Socialist Party | date = 2006 | url = http://www.socialism.com/wherfind.html | format = HTML | accessdate = 2006-12-19] The Oregon chapter was formed in 1977.cite news | last = Hosaka | first = Tomoko | title = Freedom Socialist Party sues state, trying to get on ballot | work = The Oregonian | pages = D5 | publisher = Portland, Oregon: Oregonian Publishing | date = 2000-09-01]

As of November, 2006, the party was not listed by the Oregon State Elections Division as an officially qualified nominating party.cite web | title = Political Parties in Oregon | publisher = Salem, Oregon: Elections Division, Oregon Secretary of State | date = 2006-11-29 | url = http://www.sos.state.or.us/elections/other.info/polparty.pdf | format = PDF | accessdate = 2006-12-19] However, individual Freedom Socialist candidates qualifying to be placed on the ballot by petition were given the right to have their party affiliation listed by order of the Oregon Court of Appeals. In 1998, Oregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury had refused to list the party affiliation of Oregon chapter co-founder Jordana Sardo, running for the Oregon House of Representatives, listing her instead as an "Independent." Bradbury cited a 1905 law which prevents use of any part of the name of a recognized and existing party to be used on the ballot by any candidate not the official nominee of that party. Sardo and the party sued in an action which was joined by the Socialist Party of Oregon, whose state recognition prompted Bradbury's action in the first place. After a lower court ruled in the party's favor, and the decision was upheld by the Court of Appeals, Bradbury declined to pursue further appeals.cite news | last = Hosaka | first = Tomoko | title = Freedom Socialist Party sues state, trying to get on ballot | work = The Oregonian | pages = D5 | publisher = Portland, Oregon: Oregonian Publishing | date = 2000-09-01] cite news | last = Wong | first = Peter | title = Party name is approved for ballot | work = Statesman Journal | pages = 1C | publisher = Salem, Oregon: Gannett | date = 2002-07-11]
