Portland Protest
Did you know that it was Bush senior that gifted Portland with the name "Little Beruit"?

Columbia Park at Lombard St
North PortlandMarch at 10 am
Who’s behind all of this? You, if you’re willing to say NO to BUSH! Organize an affinity group or just grab some friends, relatives, or neighbors and come to Columbia Park before 10 am the morning of the 21st.
All are welcome.
Further information will be posted as the date nears. Please add the TIME (10 am) and LOCATION (Columbia Park @ Lombard) to your posters…let’s get the word out!
In solidarity-

I love the smell of tear gas in the morning....
Due to my work schedule here in Bend I will not be able to attend the riot in Portland this week, but I was planning on going to Redmond when Smirky descends on Central Oregon the afternoon of the 21st.
He's found a nice clump of trees over in Camp Sherman for his photo-op proclaiming his love of the environment, which is ironic considering that the town of Camp Sherman was originally a logging camp. I'm betting we'll see pix of him at the Metolius River overlook too.
~sigh~ Oregon is such a beautiful place, at least where it hasn't been clear-cut.....
On another subject, are you ladies planning on attending the Howard Dean Sleepless Summer Rally in Portland on Sunday the 24th? I have noticed that some of you are "Undecided" and this will give you a chance to see and hear what all the fuss about Gov. HoHo is all about.
Anyway...here are the particulars:
The rally will begin at 12:30 PM on Sunday, August 24 at the Portland State University Urban Center Plaza at 506 SW Mill (5th and Mill).
A campus map is available here: http://www.pdx.edu/campus/
Driving directions are available here: http://www.pdx.edu/campus/directions/
This plaza is very accessible by mass transit, and a handy Tri-Met trip planner is available here: http://www.trimet.org/
Maybe see ya there.....

Posted by: logjam on August 19, 2003 02:19 PMThanks, logjam! This is very interesting. I'll plan on going to see Dean. Glad you are going to put in your two cents at Bush's photo op in Bend.
Posted by: Mary on August 19, 2003 10:10 PMIts too bad loggers clear cut in Oregon. I hope Oregon makes the right decision and votes against Bush. I can't stand him and his supporters anti-environmental views. The West Coast needs to tell Bush and his Earth-killing industries to get out!
