Medford And Eugene Protests
This Monday, on the eve of Earth Day, let's Stop Gordon Smith!
Gordon Smith's special interest contributors have bought his opposition to the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act.
They have bought his opposition to combating climate change.
This Monday, April 21, we need to remind Smith that he's in Washington D.C. to represent Oregonians, not the corporations who fund his campaigns.
The Climate Security Act has bi-partisan support in the U.S. Senate. Oregon's other U.S. Senator, Democrat Ron Wyden, is a co-sponsor. Yet Smith won't stand up to his corporate backers and support this bill.
So, stand up for Oregon and our environment on April 21 in Eugene and Medford. Remind Gordon Smith that he works for us, not the special interests.
Eugene State Rep. Paul Holvey and Central Lane and Linn County State Rep. Phil Barnhart will speak at noon outside Smith's Eugene office. Southern Oregon Stop Gordon Smith Campaign organizer Allen Hallmark will speak outside Smith's Medford office.
And if you can't make it to Eugene or Medford, let your friends in those cities know about these events.
Read all the details on the jump!

Impeach Bush and Cheney for promoting torture of prisoners, they have admitted it and deserves to go.
