(SALEM) - Representative Kevin Cameron (R-Salem) dropped his two priority bills today in an effort to aid local government authorities to regulate strip clubs in their community.

The amendment would allow state or local governments to use their regulatory authority to restrict strip clubs to the extent allowed under the Constitution of the United States.

This amendment is limited to regulating strip clubs and does not include other adult establishments. HB 3547 provides the ballot title for the ballot referral.

On September 29th, 2005, in The State of Oregon v. Ciancanelli, the Oregon Supreme Court, in a 5-1 decision, overturned the conviction of the crime of promoting a live sex show.

In a separate ruling, the Court also found a city of Nyssa ordinance requiring a four-foot buffer between nude dancers and patrons unconstitutional. In one fell swoop, the Oregon Supreme Court has declared live sex acts as constitutionally protected freedom of speech and restricted local communities from making good decisions for its citizens.

The Court’s interpretation of Oregon’s free expression law establishes protections far beyond what the United States Constitution guarantees.

The conflict has most recently been evident in the unsuccessful attempts of members of the Faye Wright Neighborhood Association in Salem to restrict a strip club from opening in a location which is close to schools and a nearby park.

Wonderful to see Kevin Camerson pick up where we left off...we dont consider ourselves defeated even tho the club opened. Time has come when Neighborhood Associations are strongly becoming the voice of thepeople of their respectiveneighborhoods. Faye Wrightdoes NOT want the strip clubright at the back door of homes, parks, ice cream stores and kid-friendly fastfood places. Put them in specialized areas where family friendly neighborhoods are not affected. Already the real estate value of homes and stores has dropped drastically.Where is morality going thesedays....lets speak up and beheard.Have you seen the sign outside Presleys....go look,and then try to explain it toa youngster.
