Time to put your money where you fingers are. the questions is are you willing to fight for what you believe in. as educated citizens we all must ask our seleves what is our responsibility to our fellow citizens, to our issues, to our friends and families.

YES, YES, YES, you all Know we all deserve more than Ron Saxton will ever give us, and We all know Ted will always fight for all that we deserve.

We've got our regular volunteers, leaders from several local blogs, and our blogging DNC Committeewoman, and we'd love to have some more callers on the lines tonight. Yesterday, women's night was so popular we had to overflow to CubeSpace, a friendly local business that has generously donated phone lines to support the cause. It was so popular that we scheduled another women's night. Will there be another bloggers' night?

It's up to you. Come on down to 232 NE 9th Ave to make a difference.

A new independent poll out today- Good new! Kulongoski 47% and Saxton 36%. No traction for Saxton! It's Riley and Associates. I'm not a fan of them but I'll take it. Biggest move is with the Independents, moving to Kulongoski, and Saxton losing some of his base. http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_102506_news_gov_race_poll_.74398a9c.html

Below is a letter I sent to the Big O yesterday. In case they don't print it, at least some Progressives might be interested:

Oregonian,

In this crucial election, know that neo-cons like Ron Saxton represent only the wealthiest 1-2%. Saxton and his extreme allied legislative candidates symbolize the cronyism and corrupt policies of the federal regime. Don't allow them to repeat those failed policies in Oregon.

The corporatists backing Saxton are the same scandalous gang behind the disastrous measures 41 and 48. That "greed bunch" is intent on profiteering by privatizing government services. Saxton marches lockstep with CheneyBushCo on the discredited invasion and occupation of Iraq. It's time to terminate the politics of fear at the national and local levels.

This election's watch-phrase is: GOYA - Get Off Your Apathy. Voting and volunteerism are winning formulas for Governor Ted Kulongoski, http://tedforgov.com/ and other Progressive candidates. Thanks for anything you can do to Get-Out-The-Vote. Your efforts will bring a Progressive future for Oregon.
