  Oregon Petition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oregon Petition is the name commonly given to a petition opposed to the Kyoto protocol, organised by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) between 1999 and 2001, shortly before the United States was expected to ratify the protocol.
The Oregon Petition was the third, and by the far the largest, of five prominent efforts intended to show that a "scientific consensus" does not exist on the subject of global warming.
The term "scientists" is often used in describing signatories, but the petition [7] did not require signatories to have a degree, or a degree in a scientific field, or to be working in the field in which the signatory had received a degree.

 Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine - SourceWatch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) describes itself as "a small research institute" that studies "biochemistry, diagnostic medicine, nutrition, preventive medicine and the molecular biology of aging." It is headed by Arthur B. Robinson, an eccentric scientist who has a long history of controversial entanglements with figures on the fringe of accepted research.
The OISM would be equally obscure itself, except for the role it played in 1998 in circulating a deceptive "scientists' petition" on global warming in collaboration with Frederick Seitz, a retired former president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The Oregon Petition, sponsored by the OISM, was circulated in April 1998 in a bulk mailing to tens of thousands of U.S. scientists.

 Hundreds of Oregon Citizens Petition Congressman Conyers to Impeach Bush and Cheney | Blog for Oregon
Petitions were the June quota of a four-month campaign by eight members of one of Portland’s six DemocracyforAmerica groups.
After the group’s heavy effort in gathering petitions under the impeachment section (53:603) of (Thomas) Jefferson’s 1801 Manual of Rules for the House, they were not about to have the current Republican-controlled (23-17) committee shelve or misplace them.
Prior to petitions, the team has been heavily involved in other impeachment deeds throughout a city so full of anti-Bush/Cheney activists (157 groups) that those two call it “Little Beirut.” Currently, visiting here for fundraisers means being barricaded in airport hotels rather than facing a downtown of thousands of demonstrators.
