Voting with your dollars

There's lots of ways to change the world - and voting with your wallet is one of the most effective. LeLo in NoPo has a great perspective:

But I do have a job, and I do spend money. And I hold the power for where I spend it. I have options and I utilize them. If you’re a business that supports causes that I believe in, I want to know about it. Because I’ll support you. But if you use your dollars to support discrimination or fight environmental regulations or to make money from poor people like gambling, I hope my money never gets you one cent.

She's got the run-down on questions to ask and how to go about it. Check out LeLo in NoPo and discuss over there.

To the Portland City Council:

Google Fiber would be a tremendous asset for Portland and our region. Internet that's 100 times faster will help create jobs here, plus also create much-needed competition for Comcast, Qwest, and Verizon. And unlike the others, Google has long been committed to the principles of net neutrality.

Please work quickly to engage Google and maximize Portland's chance of being selected as one of the expansion areas for Google Fiber.
