Talk:Brad Avakian

Infobox
I'm a bit leery about the "in office" section of the infobox, specifically given that the dates given are "April 2008 – November 2008". Isn't it true that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball? Yes, I know the dates are firm, but we don't say that President Bush will leave office at noon on Jan. 20, until that date, yeah? Mr. Avakian could die in office, resign, or whatever. I'd change it, but the fact that the infobox says "term ended" for the end date kinda complicates it, as I don't want to change the date if it will screw the infobox up somehow, yannow? —Micahbrwn (talk) 06:05, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

1st amendment gag order
Cite 12 and 13 as of writing notes practically the same information but 13 describes the order more fully. I'm going to reverse the cites and add in the omitted order denying their ability to express their viewpoint. TMLutas (talk) 16:54, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

BOLI Record
I removed the following text from the Elections section, where it doesn't belong. It should be restored, but done so with a more complete rundown of Avakian's record. Karichisholm (talk) 17:18, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

In July 2015, Avakian ordered Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa in Gresham, to pay a lesbian couple $135,000 in damages for unlawful discrimination in public accommodations after the bakery refusing to make a cake for the couple's wedding. The owners cited their Christian beliefs against same-sex marriage. The Kleins' appealed in the Oregon Court of Appeals, but the ruling was upheld.
