Obscure info?

NPOV issues
Statements such as "Hatfield pressured newspapers in Oregon to not run pro-Lonsdale editorials and even used his position as a U.S. Senator to force the EPA to investigate Lonsdale's former business, Bend Research." should have some sort of supporting literature before being used in a Encyclopedic format. As it stands it is not Neutral Point of View, which is the standard of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Naraht (talk • contribs) 17:30, July 24, 2005

Death penalty
Hatfield was strongly pro-life on the issues of abortion and the death penalty.

While in Senate he strongly opposed the death penalty, that's fact. However as Governor of Oregon he presided over last pre-Furman execution in 1992 (by gas chamber). His precedessor in office and 1958 opponent Robert D. Holmes, commmuted every death sentences during his term Darth Kalwejt (talk) 19:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand -- Hatfield was not Governor in 1992. -Pete (talk) 22:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * My mistake - I mean 1962 Darth Kalwejt (talk) 04:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've re-worded that sentence, but also note even as governor he did oppose the death penalty, and commuted the sentences of all on death row later after the state voted out the death penalty. Unlike when SCOTUS said it was cruel and unusual, the state could have continued executing those previously sentenced to death. Aboutmovies (talk) 18:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Hatfield and Vietnam
Time Magazine article from Oct. 14, 1966. -Pete (talk) 20:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've worked it in, but I'm trying not to put too much Vietnam info into the article. It's interesting and some is needed, but I don't want it to become too much of an undue weight situation. Aboutmovies (talk) 18:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Source
I am removing this: "He was also the lone Republican to vote against the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act that was passed in his final year in the Senate."

As I cannot find any source to back it up. Feel free to re-add it if you find a RS. Aboutmovies (talk) 19:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
