Oregon Legislators BLOG!!! 
posted by John at 8:06 AM
posted by John at 8:06 AMWelcome to the Oregon House Democrats’ Blog—an exciting new way to engage in truly open dialogue with the Democrats in the House of Representatives.With those opening words, Democratic House Leader Jeff Merkley gets the ball rolling with a "Welcome" post on http://oregonhousedemocrats.blogs.com/. The official LAUNCH comes today.
In today’s hot political climate, information is everything. But it’s not enough simply to read newspapers, magazines and websites, or to watch cable news. Legislators need a way to participate in a no-holds-barred exchange of ideas, opinions and views on a 24/7 basis. And the people need a way to make their voices heard. That’s what this blog provides, and it’s open to everyone who has a view to express.
Freshman Peter Buckley(D-Ashland) follows up with a report on the Democracy for Oregon Summit, an outgrowth of Oregon's Howard Dean campaign effort, now redirected to 2006 and beyond. Mary Nolan (D- Portland) sounds off on the Republican moves on education funding (ooooh look, they won't support a funding level that some argue is treading water, at best...again! They'd like to cut MORE... almost makes me think I should run for something).
This is a great opening salvo from the the Oregon House Dems, moving forward as a group blog and reaching out to the voters of Oregon. Go, Engage, Commend and Critique.
It is OUR Democracy - it is a government of the people, by the people, for the people... the door is open people. Let's go on in.
