AM 044/4-20-98 I T.l.P. makes accusations against board president continued from page nine president of Mountain Pride Media, he states thatT|P is devoted only to dealing with Gay marriage: “Take it to the People (devoted exclusively to resisting state endorsement of same-sex marriage)... Mr. Sneyd's game here is to divert public attention from the current national thrust of homosexual political advance with a sham fear mongering of backlash against recent homosexual rights gains, so as to provoke public sympathy for supposedly threatened victories." Unfortunately, Smlley's denial of the fact that TIP is after gay rights in general simply does not square with the group's statement of purpose filed with the Secretary of State. Very Clearly, part two ofTlP’s mission is: “Political advocacy and education regarding homosexual rights, issues, and all purposes related thereto."Smiley accuses Sneyd of being misleading in his reporting, yet Smiley is willing to outright lie in his attack on Sneyd. T|P’s secrecy and unwillingness to disclose membership, phone numbers or donors can only lead to suspicion about the organization. Questions have been raised about the group's reg- istering as a non-profit, rather than a lobby. According to the office of the Secretary of State, a lobby is any group that seeks ‘to solicit others to influence legislative or administrative action" and has spent morethan $500 in doing so. According to Mary Scroyer, one of the officer's of TIP, “The issue belongs in the legislature." The group has made it clear that they intend to educate voters on this issue. The flier, whose distribution easily exceeded $500, states that “Take It To The People will support a Constitutional amendment that will preserve the power of the people to define marriage." The reason TIP has not registered as a lobby, but as a state non—profit, is because of the strict regulations on lobbying groups. Lobbyists are required by law to reveal the sources of their donations, and to even pay taxes on them. Take It To The People, has basically “Done an end run" around lobbying laws by filing as non-profit, rather than a lobby. DEAN continued from page fifteen There is a very difficult issue here and that is that the institution of marriage, from a non religious point of view, provides a huge number of civil rights that are not available to people who are not married.That issue has to be addressed. If it isn't going to be addressed in terms of marriage, it has to be addressed a different way. But I don't think it is appropriate for the legislature to get involved until we know what the ground rules are. A OITM: One of your potential gubernatorial opponents, Bernard Rome, supports the institu- tion of indirect citizen initiatives in Vermont. How do you feel about citizen initiatives? Dean: I think that's very dangerous. I think we have to be very, very careful. I'm willing to look at it. I'm willing to be open minded about it. I think the proposal that Mr. Rome has introduced is better than some other initiatives that have been proposed because the legislature hasthe final say. One of the problems with citizen initiatives is that they tend to be financed by large amounts of out of state money. They tend inflame the passions of the moment and they tend to mitigate against thoughtful, clear headed public policy making. Under no circumstances would I support direct citi- zen initiatives. I want to be open minded and fair to Mr. Rome but those kinds of provisions were often used to harass minorities in this country and I think we have to be very careful about that. OITM: Bills legalizing and prohibiting physician assisted suicide have been proposed in the legislature. What is your position on physician assisted suicide and the two bills that have been proposed? . Dean: I oppose both bills. Physician assisted suicide has gone on for years. It goes on very quietly with agreement between the physician, and the patient and the patient's family. It is a matter of conscious for everybody. It's a little bit like abortion. It's really nobody's business except the family's business. So I think the legislature and the government ought to stay out of those kinds of very deeply personal medical discussions. I think this is an area the government best stay out of. We ought to regulate medical practice so inappropriate things aren't done but we should not legis- late either in favor or against physician assisted suicide. OITM: While you have ruled out a run for President, do you plan to run for Congress in 2000? Dean: No I don't. I don't want to rule anything out. It is very unlikely that I would run against Jim Jelfords. I have an enormous amount of respect for him and he's been great for the state. I don't have a great desire to leave Vermont. I think Congressman Sanders is doing a very capable job. So I think it is very unlikely that I'll run for any office outside the state of Vermont in the year 2000. If I should be reelected I will have been in for nine years and that's a long time. Who knows, I can't think about that right now. I think it is unlikely that I'll run for any office in Washington in 2000. OITM: Who would you relish a run against this fall, Representative Ruth Dwyer or Bernard Rome? a Dean: It's hard. I have a choice to run against someone who is very, very conservative, anti choice and so forth, but clearly principled. Or a wealthy businessman from New York who can clearly run a well-financed campaign out of his own pocket and cenainly somebody who is very aniculate particularly on the issue of Act 60. I think they both would be very worthy opponents. I would never presume to choose for the Republican Party so I guess l'll.run against whichever one the Republicans select. OITM: Is there anything else you like to share with the readers of OITM? Dean: Thank you for your support in the past. The gay and lesbian community hasbeen very helpful to me and I appreciate it. I have tried to be a model,of tolerance and thoughtfulness as the Governor.
