OCA Director Lon Mabon Jailed

As we went to press, Oregon Citizens Alliance Director Lon Mabon was being held in Multnomah County Jail for ignoring court orders related to a damage lawsuit that he and the OCA lost in 1992. In spite of Lon’s current troubles, the OCA continues to collect signatures on its latest anti-gay and lesbian initiative. At the end of January it had raised $68,610 in that effort. Given the OCA’s consistent ability to qualify measures for the ballot, we continue to assume that we will have a difficult campaign this fall. Unfortunately, the OCA still has many supporters even as Mabon and some of his closest associates continue to move farther toward the margins of the political spectrum.
